  • Episode 16: Kate Loses Diane Keaton's Tie!
    Jun 9 2026

    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.

  • Episode 15 - Backrooms: The #1 Movie in the World?
    Jun 2 2026

    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.

  • Episode 14: Boots & Blunders & British Boys
    May 26 2026

    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.

  • Episode 13: We're Back...You Missed Us!
    May 19 2026

    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? The card this week is Guilt. No spoilers.

    Apr 28 2026

    This week on Two Ginger Gems, there's a mentalist at the White House, James makes a return to American Idol, and Kate discovers the immersive orchestra night out you didn't know you needed.

  • Episode 10: Kate Ends Up on the News...For All the Wrong Reasons
    Apr 21 2026

    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!

  • Episode 9: The World Watches the Fastest Ever Splashdown
    Apr 14 2026

    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.
