Episode 16: Kate Loses Diane Keaton's Tie!

Episode 16: Kate Loses Diane Keaton's Tie!

This week on Two Ginger Gems, it's the Sweet 16th episode and James is back to a normal colour, well, almost. Cousin Lyn is still in town and she and James took a four-day cruise to Catalina and Ensenada, and Kate tried, and failed, to win Diane Keaton's polka dot Ralph Lauren tie at the Bonham's auction.  The Marilyn Monroe exhibition at the Academy Museum is a must-see, Paul Simon at the Hollywood Bowl was beautiful but baffling, the Magic Flute at the Dorothy Chandler is the opera for people who think they don't like opera, and Broadchurch gets a passionate recommendation along with a cautionary tale about the American remake. Plus the George Martin Beatles score book is something extraordinary, Eddie finally gets to pull the tarot card, and a new summer segment is born. 🎬 New episodes every Tuesday | Like & subscribe!

Episode 15 - Backrooms: The #1 Movie in the World?

This week on Two Ginger Gems, James went to Phoenix, took a train to the Grand Canyon with his cousin Lyn, who's joining them in the studio, forgot the sunblock was in his pocket the entire time, and is now essentially a lobster. Kate and Mikki went to see Backrooms and she came out genuinely baffled (she means that as a compliment). There's the Queen Elizabeth fashion exhibition at the King's Gallery that you need to know about, open until April 2027, and apparently the best thing of its kind they've ever done. Legends on Netflix with Steve Coogan is the true story you won't believe actually happened, dinner with chef Nancy Silverton was a delicious experience, and Minnie's Moaning Minute has thoughts on the feedback email situation. Lyn pulls the tarot card. It's Totality. Perfect. 🎬 New episodes every Tuesday | Like & subscribe!

Episode 14: Boots & Blunders & British Boys

This week on Two Ginger Gems:  Jeff Probst accidentally blows the Survivor finale on live TV, and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs its final episode, cancelled for reasons that have nothing to do with ratings and everything to do with politics. Kate has three films she cannot wait to get to cinemas — Bitter Christmas, Diamond and Dernsey — plus a new Bear one-off called Gary that will have you emotional before the final season drops on June 25th. Guaranteed Maximum Pleasure on Apple TV is a fantastic show, Boys from the Blackstuff gets a classic TV deep dive, and Primary Trust at the Mark Taper Forum is the play that had the whole audience in bits, on until June 28th. Plus Pressure starring Andrew Scott premieres May 29th, lunch at Holloway House, Minnie's Moaning Minute takes on adverts, and Kate picks Ripeness again.  New mics are in, and the reason is...Brian. 🎬 New episodes every Tuesday | Like & subscribe!

Episode 13: We're Back...You Missed Us!

This week on Two Ginger Gems, Kate and James are back after a week off...Mikki got sick and Kate went from Florence Nightingale to Nurse Ratchet in about three days, and the less said about Dr. Harold Shipman the better. James was in England seeing family, Celebrity Traitors announces its new cast and the verdict is mixed, and Florence Welch and Paris Paloma take the stage together in Berlin like two magnificent witches and Kate absolutely loses her mind about it. There's a new Martin Short documentary that'll break your heart, Swingers turns 30, a hidden gem 90s fashion exhibition at FIDM, Widows Bay is your new Apple TV obsession, and Minnie's Moaning Minute takes on Premium Economy — fair point or pointless?
