As the government debates a new bill covering how AI has to abide by copyright laws, is it better for creative industries to keep their friends close but enemies closer? Sephora, Drunk Elephant, Sol de Janeiro are at the front of what some have called an epidemic amongst 'tweens' (pre-teens). These beauty and skincare brands are often pushed by influencers but what does it tell us about modern advertising and commercialism. Finally Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has upset the TV industry after attacking a lack of creativity and diversity. Do her points have merit or is it misplaced and is she simply looking to score some easy points?

Ariana Grande & The Wicked Press
Many of the reports around Wicked haven’t focused on the quality of the film, but once again on the appearance of one of its stars, Ariana Grande.

Our friends at More In Common carried out some polling based upon some previous show topics as promised. Does the UK think Jeremy Clarkson could be PM? What is Britain’s most loved Christmas song?

It was the event *few* were talking about yet they were talking loudly. Jake Paul took on Mike Tyson live on Netflix. Who were the big winners and losers of the night?

Everyone Is Saying The Same Thing About Clickbait
Reach is a huge media company you might not be familiar with, but you will see their content as they own over 240 local media titles. With that comes the need for a lot of content. Does their reach mean even worse news for local journalism? It's Halloween so Richard and Marina explore horror and why it is the most bankable genre at the box office and is continuing to thrive. Finally, we need to mention the C-word... Christmas. Hallmark has announced a raft of new Christmas movies including a tie in with the Kansas City Chiefs... aka the NFL team Taylor Swift's boyfriend plays for. Richard and Marina explain why this is another example of companies being clever with their content, and why Hallmark is so good at Christmas.

Potentially the biggest flop of all time isn't from Hollywood, in publishing, or on the small screen. Richard & Marina discuss the failing of Sony's Concord, an online shooter game taken offline just two weeks after release. From huge flop to huge success, The Chosen is perhaps the most popular TV show in the world you've never heard of. How has this American Christian drama telling the story of Jesus of Nazareth, risen to achieve a Rotten Tomatoes rating on parity with Breaking Bad and The Wire? On Rotten Tomatoes people are making (and losing) money betting on film popularity ratings. Is review bombing gaming this system?

Is The Bear REALLY A Comedy? | Emmy Reactions & Broadway Successes
If you've ever watched The Bear then you'll have seen anxiety inducing moments of real restaurant culture, tense family shouting matches and a ton more drama... however at the likes of the Emmys awards and the Golden Globes it is considered a comedy. Why? The West End is in rude financial health with musicals and plays proving as popular as they ever were, returning to pre-Covid success. A lot of the big West End successes are based on films or existing stories. Is there a lack of creativity in theatre, and will it hurt the art in the long term? Richard & Marina wrap this episode by talking The White Stripes vs. Donald Trump. Jack White is suing the former American President for unauthorised use of a song, but he's not the first to take issue with their music being coopted by politicians.
