    Are We All Going Crazy For Wicker?

    Whilst the Summer's heat has been upon us... there's a lot going on. Clara & Munroe are here with a new episode of Into It covering all of it. Munroe takes us into her experience filming Jessie Ware's Sauna music video - a full latex moment, courtesy of Atsuko Kudo, modelled on Munroe's body. The music video is out now and it's steamy! We dive into the summer of live music, continued: Ari Lennox at Jazz Cafe Festival and the UK debut of Roots Picnic, which gets a genuine rave. But the real moment of the episode is an account of a 250-person secret Erykah Badu show at artist Alvaro Barrington's studio. Doors opened at seven. Erykah came on at twenty to ten. Was it worth it? Every single minute. Then: Wicker. Alexander Skarsgard, built out of wicker by Peter Dinklage, for Olivia Colman. The trailer has broken the internet and broken Clara and Munroe too... in the best possible way. There's a full, loving audit of the entire Skarsgard family (all of them, collectively, very much getting it), a True Blood nostalgia check-in, and a detour into whether Channing Tatum is an actor or a movie star.

    Longevity, Zara Larsson & A Long-Awaited Album with MNEK

    A new episode of Into It brings us our second special guest. Clara and Munroe are joined by multi-Platinum singer, songwriter and producer MNEK! Nominated for two GRAMMYs and a BRIT Award - and having won the ASCAP Vanguard Award - MNEK is one of the most prominent songwriter/producers in pop. Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, Zara Larson, Madonna, Selena Gomez…are just a few of the artists who have been blessed by his pen! Clara, Munroe and MNEK talk about his first new album in 8 years, “Bulldozer” (out on September 18th). Having turned 30, MNEK shares what it is like to be making a record in this new season of his life, in particular the audacity of lead single “REVERSE!!”. He also reflects on the pressure of being a featured vocalist in an era of breakout features and the structural privilege he's noticed as a man in an industry that gives women a much shorter run. They also talk about Zara Larsson finally receiving her flowers, his role in the latest chapter of her career, the problem with revivals as Myspace plots a return and his unashamed love of “Bangerz” era Miley…not everyone agrees!

    Ariana Grande, Spider-Man Premiere & A Message For Trans Allies

    We’ve got our most wide-ranging episode yet this week on Clara & Munroe Are Into It! On this episode, Clara & Munroe are addressing the online discourse surrounding Ariana Grande and where the conversation has gone wrong. They talk about what's being observed, why silence isn't the answer and why the conversation needs to be about mental health rather than bodies. They also zoom out into the wider cultural picture: the return of extreme thinness as an aesthetic, the fashion industry's reversal on body diversity, the role of GLP-1 medication in public discourse and who gets extended empathy when they're visibly struggling... and who doesn't. Clara also debriefs hosting the new Spider-Man premiere, where she came face to face with Tom Holland and Zendaya's love story in the flesh and she has a new obsession... and it's a series! The episode closes with Munroe addressing the trans community directly, in the wake of new EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces.

    The (Donk) Of It All: Beyoncé's Earworm, Charli XCX's Rock Era & Smart Glasses

    We're getting down and into it on this episode, as Clara and Munroe are here to dive into all the most important pop culture topics in this episode of Into It. Since when did it become "normal" to film each other secretly? Since the launch of Meta's smart glasses (with built-in recording), Clara & Munroe have been concerned... and Munroe is coming with the receipts. In our first tech moment of the podcast, we dive into why this technology is dangerous, who gets protected... and who doesn't. Clara is dissecting Beyoncé's earworm Morning Dew and Munroe is deep in an internet wormhole of a woman who is building an endless tunnel under her house?! Along the way, Clara goes deep into Elle Fanning's Margot's Got Money series and makes the case that prestigious actors choosing TV is one of the best things to happen to the medium in years. We also pay proper tribute to Charli XCX's new rock era: not just for the music, but for the career move. Like, comment, subscribe, and don't miss new episodes of Into It every Monday.

    The Odyssey's Colourist Backlash, Katie Price & FIFA World Cup Halftime Show

    It's been a packed week for pop culture and Clara and Munroe are diving into all of it on this episode of Into It. The biggest story in culture is the release of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey - a film that sparked controversy when it was first announced, but is now being loved by audiences from IMAX to your local cinema screen. We dive into the ambition of Nolan's filmmaking, which actors were under-used and which performances surprised the most. The bigger conversation is about the racist and colourist backlash to Lupita Nyong'o's casting as Helen of Troy. Clara speaks personally about her own experiences with colourism in her professional life, and the exhaustion of watching dark-skinned Black women be denied beauty, humanity, and peace - even when they're delivering Oscar-level work in one of the biggest films ever made. Then: the Katie Price four-part documentary which beat expectations with genuinely new revelation and nuance. Munroe draws real parallels between Katie's neurodivergence, her unprocessed trauma, and the media machine that both built and brutalised her. Plus the FIFA World Cup halftime show gets a verdict, JAY Z gets called out for announcing a London show on Beyoncé's birthday... and Melanie C's DM to Clara, which briefly terrified everyone in the group chat!

    Pop Legends Are Back: Madonna's Confessions & Robyn Kills

    It's a very culture-packed week, and Clara and Munroe are fully recovered from their summer colds and ready to debrief. This episode is a love letter to pop OGs doing exactly what they want... starting with the big one! Munroe was at Madonna's Club Confessions party and Confessions II has now been heard. The verdict? Munroe is floored. From Danceteria's duet with Lourdes the heartbreaking Fragile the reclamation of the ACT UP triangle on the cover, and Madonna's prophetic track record on the internet and cultural decay: listen to the Madonna album more times than you care to. Then: Munroe caught Robyn at the O2! A show of radical simplicity that somehow made the O2 feel intimate. With Every Heartbeat live reduced the floor to rubble, Love Kills finally happened in the flesh, and the crowd (approximately 80% gay men, 20% women) collectively lost their minds. Clara attended Formula One for the first time as a guest of Lewis Hamilton's Mission 44 charity. She also attended the launch of Candice Carty-Williams' Queenie sequel, and is firmly in Lulu's corner after meeting her at a screening of Olivia Wilde's new film The Invite (co-written by Rashida Jones). Over It this week: people who don't wash their hands in public bathrooms, gym-goers who leave sweat prints on the equipment and walk away and anyone leaving a gooch print on a cycle machine without wiping it down.

    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!
