Boys & Men, The Tinashe Reckoning & Our Favourite TV Gangsters

Trigger Warning: This episode contains conversations around sexual assault. Viewer and listener discretion is advised. Clara & Munroe are back for another episode of Into It - and this week, they've had enough. Kicking off with an entirely guilt-free detour into the Pete Davidson discourse and his recent comments about female influencers doing "nothing" to pay the bills. The backlash wrote itself, but the situation inspires the conversation: why does it take proximity to women to teach some men to see women as human beings? The main conversation on this episode is deeply important as Clara & Munroe discuss the response to the allegations surrounding the Cornell 7. They discuss the performance outrage from men online with no actionable follow-through, including a Love Island alumnus who become a "hero" online... despite doing nothing. The bar is in hell, and we need to raise it. There's plenty of pop culture too: Tinashe is finally getting her flowers, Rebecca Black’s redemption arc is worth celebrating, and MobLand is on the agenda. Plus, The Gentlemen returns, Dominic West’s casting in War raises a few eyebrows, and Clara reveals she interviewed Sylvester Stallone and John Legend in New York.

Everybody On Mute? Social Media Etiquette, Swiftie Crashouts & Adela's Moment

After a week lost to illness, Clara and Munroe are back on Into It - and there's a LOT to catch up on. Clara & Munroe forensically examine Taylor Swift's new single "Patient Zero", the Channing Tatum finsta saga gets its unofficial verdict, and Clara reveals she went to Pedro Pascal’s 50th birthday party...! SNL UK gets its flowers, leading into a conversation on why taking risks on new voices actually matters. Clara & Munroe agree that SNL UK is fearless in a way that its American counterpart hasn't in years, and in this current climate of hyper-surveillance and hyper-censorship, that actually matters. Then: a full Adéla debate. With her project "Prima" becoming a true cultural force and new single Nicole Kidman proving she is not a one hit wonder, Clara is now actively, officially rooting for her. She didn't submit herself for Best New Artist at the Grammys, which suggests there's a plan. Clara wants to see the plan. Then things get personal. Clara and Munroe unpack the politics of social media muting, why your follows and likes might reveal more about you than you realise, and whether political alignment matters when it comes to dating. And finally: Practical Magic 2. Two Oscar winners. One very low bar. Like, comment, subscribe, and don't miss new episodes of Into It every Monday.

Strictly Reality: Clara's Secret Audition & Reality TV Takes Over

It's Munroe's birthday week (Happy Birthday!) and we're grieving the end of the Summer... but, there's plenty to dive into on this episode of Into It. Clara & Munroe get into The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, the Housewives cinematic universe, and why Sarah Paulson was absolutely right: these women are artists. The full Housewives extended universe gets an audit in true Into It style. Then it’s all eyes on Dancing with the Stars, with Julia Stiles, Jenna Dewan and Maura Higgins joining the cast - and Maura’s glow-up gets the appreciation it deserves as she turned fanny flutters into a transatlantic career. Clara also opens up about the very secret audition that could have seen her hosting Strictly Come Dancing, while Munroe opens up about why she ultimately decided that the current media landscape around trans people made the prospect of doing it feel impossible to enjoy. Plus, Trevor Nelson is back, Clara has thoughts on Greta Thunberg’s sister, and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days gets dragged back into the conversation thanks to its upcoming sequel.

CANCELLED: Gen Z Purity Culture Propaganda & John Galliano’s MET Cancellation

Powered by three margs. 2.5 hours of sleep and the spiritual force of Virgo season... Clara and Munroe are back with another episode of Into It. We're kicking off by getting into Jay-Z at Tottenham (two nights, no hype man, no autocue, just him and a tight band), Olivia Rodrigo's incredible Daisy Chain festival (not Coachella influencer Olympics - just a crowd there for the music) and One Night Only - the new rom-com that has Clara & Munroe wondering whether Gen Z might actually be more conservative than millennials. Then comes the big chat for this episode: can you actually cancel someone? Lizzo's case has been fully dismissed (every single charge thrown out!) and she marked it with a silent video, no teeth, just standing there and letting the words do the talking. Clara and Munroe unpick what the last two years have actually been: a trial by media, not by evidence. But, does cancellation actually exist when Chris Brown and Kanye are still selling out arenas? With John Galliano's Met Gala exhibition cancelled, there is a harder question about how we reckon with great art made by imperfect, sometimes terrible people, and what genuine rehabilitation actually looks like versus just waiting for someone to die before putting them in a museum. To wrap up, we're over cameras in toothbrushes and cameras in dishwashers. Is your mouth is the final frontier? Like, comment, subscribe, and don't miss new episodes of Into It every Monday.

Beyond Touching Grass: The K-Pop Machine & The Rise of Extreme Adult Content Creators

Pop culture is having a moment, and on this episode of Into It, Clara and Munroe are giving credit where credit is due... whilst also reminding the internet of the importance of touching grass once in a while! Kicking of with a chat about the pop girlies who are making 2026 their year, Clara and Munroe dive into KATSEYE - the K-pop machine and whether any of it is real. Where is the line between talent and the 'machine' that aims to rinse artists for everything they have to offer? We're then diving into the use of phones at gigs - are the phones the symptom or the disease? After watching a girl FaceTime her friend for two hours at the Ariana Grandé gig, Clara & Munroe are wondering if something is being lost. They chat about Billie Eilish's concert film, Madonna's Confessions party and how different artists are tackling the sea of phone screens at their shows. Next comes a nuanced conversation about the internet discourse around sex work. After falling down a TikTok rabbit hole, Clara watched an episode of Holly Willoughby's podcast where Lily Phillips was a guest. This leads to a conversation about where hypersexuality can be a trauma response, how the sex work conversation is never simple and how the real concern isn't what any one woman is doing with her body - it's the appetite being created, the men consuming it, and what that normalises for everyone else. We wrap with what we're Over for this week: soft launching relationships on social media and remembering to live... even if it doesn't make the 'gram.

It's All Love: Dolly, Tim, Hayden & The Two Megs

What a few weeks it's been with some big losses in the cultural sphere... on this episode of Into It, Clara and Munroe are addressing them with the power they deserve. We're talking about Dolly Parton's immense impact on not just culture, but community - making her possibly the only globally beloved public figure with zero detractors. From her philanthropic efforts (including the Imagination Library and re-routing the royalties from I Will Always Love You to Black communities) to her undeniable music, we get into all of it. Tim Curry gets a proper send-off as well, with a conversation about what Rocky Horror Picture Show meant to queer communities and how visibility through art can literally save lives. Hayden Panettiere's untimely passing also sparks a necessary conversation about child stardom, narcissistic parents and the "machine" that takes kids in and spits out casualties. Elsewhere, Clara and Munroe are rinsing the last drops of summer! Including Clara's trip to All Points East, Ariana Grande at the O2 (and the discourse around her this Summer) as well as a discussion about the two Megan's: Megan Thee Stallion's new documentary on Amazon Prime, and Meghan Markle's return to Britain. It's a packed show as Summer starts it's descent and Clara and Munroe dive into some of the defining topics of the past few weeks.

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!
