Hello there you gorgeous listener you, and welcome to another episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This month, I am joined by first time Parlour patron and lifelong nerdy type, Benjamin Connell, who chats with me about his new tabletop RPG inspired by the books of Brian Jacques, Heroes Of The Abbey. We also discuss some of our recent favourite movies, such as Companion, Heart Eyes, and M3GAN, as well as taking a little trip to Paradise and praising The Penguin. And, of course, I am talking about Severance again (I will stop talking about Severance when Severance stops being The Absolute Tits, so basically, never).
Pop the kettle on and enjoy!
(And for those also bothered by my terrible memory; the Cristin Milioti show I mentioned was Made For Love, and the Georgina Campbell movie was indeed called TIM)
