The Beauty Products Everyone Loves - But Shouldn't!

We’re back with a new episode of The Double Cleanse, and James & Robert are calling out the beauty products that everyone seems to love – but absolutely should NOT! After opening with the twins bonding over their hot take that all identical twins should be children, they share hilarious stories about creepy twin encounters and confess that triplets are "the worst people you'll ever meet". From there, James and Robert tackle overhyped beauty products that frankly need to disappear! James absolutely DESTROYS a ‘shape tape’ concealer (which isn’t a tape) – describing it as "liquidated clay," "cat litter," and "flour mixed into concealer". They also call out luxury cream formulations and they break down how beautiful packaging, gold spatulas, and pleasant smells can trick us into thinking we're getting premium results, when in reality, you're paying luxury prices for mid-tier performance.

He is the youngest ever recipient of the Ted Hughes Award, was selected by the Poetry Society as one of the 2014 Next Generation Poets and has even been nominated for a BRIT Award. When it comes to speaking truth to power - Kae Tempest is it. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Kae open up about the importance of truth in art, the challenges of visibility, and navigating their gender identity in the public eye.

A Summer of Live Music! Harry Styles, Bad Bunny & Madonna's New Album

Summer has arrived and Clara and Munroe are fully outside! This episode is a love letter to live music, icons and the art of doing it your way. First up: Harry Styles at the O2. Clara was there, and she's a convert. The vocals are better than ever, his uncle dance moves are admirable, and those yellow shorts? Appreciated. Munroe draws the Robbie Williams of One Direction comparison (affectionately), and both agree that we're witnessing Harry's David Bowie Let's Dance era. Then we get a full review of Bad Bunny's DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour. A full ten out of ten. No notes. The pair gush about the sheer joy of 50,000 people moving their bodies together, the radical act of performing exclusively in Spanish to English-speaking audiences, and the moment Bad Bunny made Damon Albarn look genuinely happy to be somewhere. The centrepiece of the episode is a full Madonna deep dive - because Confessions II is here and neither host is remotely calm about it. They rank her eras, debate whether she'll tour the new record and float the dream of Madonna and Mariah Carey both on the Glastonbury bill next year, on different days, not speaking to each other. We wrap up talking about the BET Awards (specifically the Lauryn Hill tribute and RAYE's performance) and what Clara & Munroe are over for this week!

Everything WRONG With Men's Skincare & Make-Up

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse and they’re taking men’s skincare and make-up – and why the industry is completely dropping the ball. We get into this episode with bonding over recurring sock disasters whilst they’re in London (plus an embarrassing sock story) as well as a wild Fact Or Fiction story that has to be heard to be believed… Then the conversation gets serious: why do men's skincare and makeup brands absolutely suck? James and Robert break down how brands are making basic products, while K-beauty brands completely nail it by featuring men in displays alongside women's products without any awkward gender gatekeeping. In Korea, brands treat makeup as interchangeable across all genders – no "for men" nonsense needed. The twins discuss how Gen Z is normalizing men wearing makeup (think: Dominic Fike at the Met Gala), yet Western brands still treat men's skincare like a joke – either downplaying ingredients or going hypermasculine with grenade-shaped lip balms instead of just making good products. The verdict? Men deserve access to quality skincare and makeup, whether that's through unisex brands OR properly formulated men's lines – just stop making it embarrassing or basic!

The Dark Side of Fame, Addison Rae's Impact & Lizzo's New Album

The past couple of weeks of pop culture have reminded us all of the dark underbelly that exists in pop culture - and on this episode of Into It, Clara & Munroe are getting into it. From Lil Nas X's return to social media - and his new diagnosis, and openness about therapy - Clara & Munroe explore why the public so often make people like Nas (and Britney, and Amy) into avatars rather than real people. Munroe also speaks about what it's like to face a diagnosis when you already feel the world has given you enough to carry. Clara & Munroe also revisit their ongoing debate about Addison Rae and her true cultural reach before talking about the poor commercial performance of Lizzo's new album and the ugly cocktail behind it: from false accusations to beauty standards and the industrial complex behind the new music's failure. We wrap up with the TV shows Clara & Munroe are into... and a certain goalkeeper that the internet is thirsting over! Like, comment, subscribe, and don't miss new episodes of Into It every Monday.

Mighty Hoopla, Horror's Comeback Moment & Ariana Grande's Back On Top

Clara and Munroe are back with a new episode of Into It... and they've been busy! The duo swap festival war stories — Munroe hits Mighty Hoopla in denim hot pants and introduces Liberty X to the stage, while Clara jets to Philadelphia for Roots Picnic (Jay-Z headlining, Blue Ivy spotted watching from the wings) before catching No Doubt at The Sphere in Las Vegas. Then it's into the main event: is horror having it's comeback moment? Between Obsession and Backrooms, it seems like it. Clara and Munroe unpack what it says about the times we're living in that horror is dominating the box office, drawing a striking parallel with 20 years ago. The conversation touches on A24's cultural revolution, the exciting new generation of young directors shaking up the genre, and why The Substance's Oscar nomination was such a watershed moment for horror. And to close things out, a quick chart chat — Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's collab Rein Me In spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at number one, but Ariana Grande is back with her ponytail, her thigh-high boots, and a new single to knock them off the top spot.

Ranking Celebrity Beauty Brands: Who Puts In The Effort?

We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James & Robert are raking celebrity beauty brands by how much effort the celebrities are ACTUALLY putting into them! But first, Robert gives us the tea on his recent wedding (!!) – spoiler alert: it was nothing like a typical wedding. The twins also bond over their mutual wedding horror: Robert was mistaken for James all night, while James regrets not eating more of the bacon bar. Then comes the main event: ranking celebrity beauty brands by effort level. They dissect Kylie Cosmetics, Brad Pitt's skincare line (which feels like a contractual obligation), and Jared Leto's skincare brand where he admitted he doesn't even use skincare – literally within the first week of launch! James defends Harry Styles' Pleasing as genuinely thoughtful with real vision, while Robert refuses to believe in it. Gwen Stefani gets roasted for basic, dropship-quality packaging. The twins champion women-founded indie brands like Blend Bunny and Glitz Cosmetics, whose pigmentation and quality actually rival Dior. The verdict? Most celebrity brands are vanity projects with minimal involvement – so they want to hear from YOU about which celebrity brands you think actually have genuine effort behind them.

Love Is Back: Dua Lipa's Wedding & The State of Dating Shows

Is love back? On this episode of Into It, Clara & Munroe are looking at our summer of love - from Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's wedding to the state of dating shows. From the Married At First Sight of it all to Love Is Blind (although, what is "blind" when all of the contestants are media-trained?)... is the era of dating shows over? Plus, Clara & Munroe open up about why Love On The Spectrum remains a genuinely meaningful watch for them. Clara & Munroe are also talking about the new Michael Jackson biopic and Netflix documentary (and the messy, money-driven machinery surrounding it) and, to take the edge off, they divulge what they're obsessed with: Munroe being fully obsessed with Rivals, while Clara has been working through Fellow Travellers and the harrowing drama The Witness. They also give flowers to Russell T Davies' new series Tip Toe. Plus: a giddy tangent on Dua Lipa's wedding to Callum Turner (and those sneaky leaked photos), a debate on whether Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian are really in love or just in love with the idea of each other, and some long-overdue gratitude for the Kardashian-adjacent glow-up of just... being in a healthy relationship.
