Is This 2023’s Most Controversial Show?

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

On the show today…

In great news for anyone who loves watching problematic rich people on their screens, the first full-length trailer for Succesion’s fourth and final season has just been released. Here’s everything you need to know.

And when it was first announced, The Idol was set to be one of the biggest new TV shows of 2023. Starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weekend, the series was billed as a “darker, crazier, and more risqué version of the smash-hit Euphoria”, but then the production delays began. Now, a new expose has unearthed what really happened behind the scenes, and it’s not a pretty sight.

Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! On today’s show, we’re recommending a history-making new Netflix comedy special and a highly anticipated book-to-series adaption that will transport you straight back to the 70s.
