  • No idea who these guys are

    Right so I listened to the episode with Fern Brady cause she posted it on instagram, it was funny I laughed twice, which is high praise from me. Then I listened to the latest with the Irish fella doing the Vince McMahon impression and I got so into it I forgot to scan my sausages and they had to scan all my items when I got picked for a bag check.

Natasha Halevi on Superman, The Role of AI in Hollywood & Celebrity Wedding Celebrants
Q: How do you feel about AI and its impact on film and performance rights?
There's a mix of fascination and concern, especially around likeness rights and how AI could shift ownership or control over an actor's image, which raises serious legal and ethical questions for the industry.
Natasha Halevi on Superman, The Role of AI in Hollywood & Celebrity Wedding Celebrants
Q: What was it like to work on Superman and to be involved in such a high-profile film?
It was an incredible experience with an amazing set and a collaborative atmosphere; the scale and artistry were remarkable, and being part of James Gunn's creative space made it feel like an inspired, hands-on process.
Writers Cramp on Motivational TikToks, Playing Rugby for Scotland & Getting What You Want From Life
Q: What was your turning point in rugby that translated into your later online success?
Exemplary practice discipline and a willingness to endure pressure, plus learning from setbacks and using mentors and peers to improve, which later informed the discipline needed to grow a large online following.
Writers Cramp on Motivational TikToks, Playing Rugby for Scotland & Getting What You Want From Life
Q: What motivates you to create motivational TikToks rather than pursuing more traditional routes?
