This week on Two Ginger Gems, Kate and James hit a milestone: It's episode 10! Kate accidentally ends up on KTLA news, and James has lunch with a legendary English TV writer who helped bring Doctor Who back from the dead. Kate and Mikki see a pre-screening of an extraordinary film about John Davidson, the man with Tourette's who made headlines at the BAFTAs, and she hasn't stopped thinking about it since. James dips his toe into Netflix's creepy new series Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, and they mark 35 years since the Dallas finale with a lively debate about the greatest TV sign-offs ever. Kate discovers the hidden gem that is the Cinegrill at the Hollywood Roosevelt — classic movies, couches, and possibly Marilyn Monroe's ghost, where they catch a screening of Hitchcock's Vertigo. Add in Lena Dunham's brilliant new memoir Famesick, a shout out to Urth Caffé on Beverly Drive, a theatre renaissance moment courtesy of Timothée Chalamet, and a gem cut for Pope Leo, and this one has it all. Pull a card and breathe it in!

This week on Two Ginger Gems, the Artemis splashdown had Kate in tears (don't worry, happy ones!) as millions around the world united to watch one of the most breathtaking moments in space history. Then it's a big week in TV and film. They dive into Scarpetta, Jury Duty: Company Retreat, and Kate delivers a passionate verdict on the Peaky Blinders movie (spoiler: it's not pretty). They also celebrate 100 years of Laurel & Hardy, share some LA history about filming locations you can still visit today, and reveal the surprising Hollywood connection that links Stan Laurel all the way to Tom Bergeron. Kate gets emotional over the stunning theatre production English at the Geffen Playhouse, they give a shout out to Mark Ballas opening in Chicago, and head to Yamashiro for sushi with one of the best views in LA. Plus, a waiter with a very unexpected claim to fame, Kate's new car Delilah gets a full universe of friends, and Coachella's opening night has a surprising Hollywood cameo.

Project Hail Mary gets a big thumbs up, Dragon Mama at the Geffen Theater is not to be missed, and Kate's mum Pamela calls in with her viewer's choice. The card this week? The Master.

Week 7 and Kate's dream finally arrives! Delilah the 1991 Nissan Figaro makes her debut after crossing the Panama Canal, and she is stunning. James shares his thoughts on the Oscars moving from the Dolby to the Peacock Theatre — and why that was always inevitable. Ab Fab gets the classic TV spotlight it deserves, JFK's Love Story wraps with a devastating final episode, and Marc by Sofia is this week's must-see documentary. James heads to Oklahoma as a Dallas expert on Collectors Call — with Charlene Tilton along for the ride — and nobody mention the parking bill. The card this week? Go back to the source.

Week 6 and it's a lot of everything! Kate and Mikki see Liza Minnelli and it does not go well. James interviews Barbara Eden for the Larry Hagman documentary and it absolutely does. The Bob Barker exposé on E! is worth a watch, but buckle up. Blue Moon gets a big thumbs up, Downton Abbey gets a COVID-era tribute, and 9 to 5 proves nothing has changed. Whitney Leavitt breaks box office records, Harris Reid dresses Zendaya, and the Adding Machine at the Actors' Gang is this week's theater pick. The card this week? Schizophrenia: stop holding onto two walls and believe in the leap.

James hosts a raucous pub quiz in his replica Coronation Street pub, Kate finally sees The Bride and delivers her verdict, and they dive into the must-see classic Young Frankenstein. There's a tribute to the brilliant Miriam Margolyes, listener Chuck Yeko sends in Spirit Award winner Train Dreams, and the Oscars are just around the corner. Plus, a brand new segment is born: "It's a Shame, Let's Do Better". The first inductee? Timothée Chalamet. You'll know why when you hear it.
