And the girls are back! This week we've got a bonus episode in our series on unusual heroines, with the girls getting deep and meaningful about Michaela Coel's masterful series "Chewing Gum" - available to stream on All4 and Netflix. What do the girls get into you ask? Well - - It turns out they know way more about Catholic Saints than you'd think. Yeah we don't know how that one came up either... - Which naturally turned into Katie Murphy vs Organized Religion. The eternal battle wages on... - But then we just devolve (as usual) into fangirling over how cool 14 year old Saoirse was and have a heated debate over how to say "Dorset Street" correctly - Oh and the show! Yes, we spent an inordinate amount of time fangirling over Michaela Coel (seriously, we just can't) - We hear Saoirse do, quite possibly, the *worst* East London accent anyone has ever done EVER (it's a borderline hatecrime) - How Chewing Gum's Tracey might be our favourite main character in anything *ever* - such joy, such fun, such BONE STRUCTURE - Oh AND Katie's second Woke Alert (slash history of being a secret racist) There's definitely way more in there but we're being super dumb and forgetting it all, so I guess to catch up on everything properly you're just gonna have to listen! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lc-lewis/message
