Full Of It #292 - Dinosaurs Part 2

SNEAK PEAK! New 2024 channel trailer

With the facelift of our channel postponed by a week, we've decided to give our delicious patrœne cultists the first look at the new trailer! We've also shot new Patreon trailer and welcome videos alongside an upgrade of all our graphics. There won't be a video this weekend as we're in Spain doi...

Full Of It #291 - Dinosaurs Part 1

Merging with last week's topic about extinction, today we'll begin our broader discussion about dinosaurs. It dawned on me as I was surpassing the hour mark that there wouldn't be enough time to cover everything as we've only scratched the tip of the asteroid so please leave me any dinosaur titbi...

We Did An AWFUL TikTok Challenge

Nova's had some bad ideas in the past, but attempting a quick and dirty version of a paint-swap TikTok challenge is perhaps one of her worst.

Taylor Swift must be STOPPED | Novympia FAVES

For this month's collection of faves and shidders, yer gerls are asking why hand dryers are so inept, why rocky road is an elite snack and how Taylor Swift is so wildly flush.

Full Of It #290 - Extinction

Every once in a while I find myself on a Wikipedia deep-dive into extinct animal species and feel such a deep sense of curiosity and confusion. What do you mean there used to be a zebra/donkey hybrid in South Africa? You're telling me there was a magical gold frog that vanished from a mountain? W...

Olympia Paints Nova: 7 YEARS LATER | SUPER-EXTENDED VERSION

...and there we have it. The other half of our latest makeup disaster in its 2-hour, spa-music version just for you puffins.

Full Of It #289 - Brothers & Sisters

I once again find myself scone-faced to realise I've never done a pod about something as obvious as my favourite TV show. If I could figure out exactly what it is about this show that gives me the warm fuzzies, I'd bottle and sell it. It's even more puzzling when I tell you that I find every char...

Olympia Paints Nova: 7 YEARS LATER

...and here's the other half. 7 years on, Olympia paints Nova's face with all the glee and enthusiasm of an infant at Disneyland. Well, until the end anyway. 💄

2-hour supercut arrives Sunday at 6!

Full Of It #288 - The Early Internet

I dunno what we were watching the other day but it sparked an idea in me to see if I could list as many components of very early websites and Internet phenomena as possible in the hopes of sparking some memories in you all. So before Eurovision week kicks off let's sit down and have a lovely chil...

EUROVISION 2024: Our Top 10

BEHOLD! It's only a week until we crown a new winner and so after much debate, it's our annual Eurovision Top 10 presentation!

Eurovision 2024: Semi-Final 2 Predictions

...and there we have it. Who do yer gerls think are making it to the final from the second batch? It was MUCH harder to choose and once again it's probably a disaster.

Our Top 10 video arrives Sunday!

Eurovision 2024: Semi-Final 1 Predictions

LET'S DO IT. With the final next Saturday, we're taking all of the off-base knowledge we've gathered from our reaction videos and combining it with recent rehearsal viewings to deliver our predictions for who will qualify from the first semi-final.

How OFF do you think we are this year?

Remembering Hannah

Over the weekend, we were informed of the tragic passing of cult member and NAR winner Hannah. Hannah joined our Patreon on day one and was a valued presence - as a friendly face in the Discord, having taken part in every Secret Santa and winning NAR as Pony Soprano.

We were lucky enough to...

Nova Paints Olympia: 7 YEARS LATER | SUPER-EXTENDED VERSION

Behold! The unedited makeup session complete with a lovely ambient soundtrack for your Sunday afternoon.

Full Of It #287 - Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is perhaps the most the internationally admired country singer in the history of the genre. With breasts as glorious as the sun over Tennessee, hair as high as Willie Nelson and the world's most endearing giggle, she's managed to cement herself as a cultural icon the likes of which w...

Nova Paints Olympia: 7 YEARS LATER

Way back when, we did a bunch of videos painting each other's faces with fairly alarming results. We decided to sit back down in the opposing chairs to see if 7 years have improved our skills, beginning with Nova tentatively doing Olympia's face in the hopes that another character doesn't emerge....

Full Of It #286 - The Disappearance of Hu Xinyu

Hu Xinyu was a Chinese high school student who disappeared in October of 2022 from the most menacingly large boarding school you've ever seen in your life. Of the 119 CCTV cameras spread over the campus, none were able to capture his leaving the premises which would spark an absolute social media...

Has Disney LOST IT'S MAGIC? | Novympia FAVES

It's that time of the month! For April, we're discussing the awkwardness of handshakes, English breakfasts and that dreadful new Disney movie.

Full Of It #285 - Young Nuns

The other day I watched a documentary that follows a couple of young women as they prepare for life as nuns. While I found it to be a fascinating watch, I also found myself frustrated, puzzled and highly amused since I'm not sure it's even entirely real. For this pod, I'm trying something that's ...

As of recording, 4 entries in this year's #Eurovision Song Contest have released revamped versions of their songs with various changes being made including lyrics, melodies and overall production. Join us as we revisit Albania, Czechia and Malta and discuss what we make of these new versions!

Full Of It #284 - Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is a small-pond, unsigned artist from Hoboken, New Jersey.

Now listen, am I fan of Taylor Swift? No. Will I spend the entirety of this pod dunking on her? Again, no. But, what I'll try to do is break down exactly what makes this woman so astronomically popular that she's becom...

Nova is INSUFFERABLE and Olympia carries the channel?!

We thought it was time for another round of mean comments! Covering Eurovision this year has attracted hate comments from a whole new fanbase so that's been super fun this year. Which of these comments was your favourite?

Full Of It #283 - The Murder of Sheena Bora

If this was a story arc on Knots Landing you'd be well within your rights to hurl a shoe at the TV for its implausibility. In deciding what to make this extra-large pod about, I knew I wanted to cover a mystery so naturally I turned to Netflix. The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Trut...
