If you did the homework you’ll know that the title of the day is The Watcher, the mysterious thriller about a family who receive ominous letters after moving into their new home.

Would you pretend to have a sick sister to win on The Circle because Tolani did

May 13, 2022 05:00 - 30 minutes

Today’s episode is a mixed bag: we talk about everything from Doctor Who (and the news that Ncuti Gatwa is the newest Doctor!) to Tolani’s stint on The Circle to men leaving us for dead in the gym. It wouldn’t be a 10/10 episode if there wasn’t some Selling Sunset discourse, so of course we talk about the long-awaited, Christine-less reunion and Maya's infamous shocked face too.

Welcome back! This week we’re delving into the depths of our teenage trauma to recount our experiences with high street fashion thanks to new Netflix doc White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch. If you were a teen in the 2000s, you’ll remember that all of the cool kids (if they were wealthy and slim enough) were wearing clothes from A&F, but how did its reign over pop culture come to an end? We discuss how this is explored in the doc, as well as ponder on what other great pop cultur...

Sex Myths, The Orgasm Gap and The Principles of Pleasure

April 15, 2022 05:00 - 30 minutes

If, like us, your sex education at school wasn’t great, you’ll probably relate to today’s episode. We chat about new documentary Principles of Pleasure and all of the sex myths we were led to believe at a young age. Did you know the hymen doesn’t “break” during penetrative sex? Did you know only know a quarter of women have orgasms during penetrative sex? We also try (and miserably fail) to label the vagina and constantly call the labia a “libia”. We can only apologise.

Sex Education 3, Stranger Things 4, The Witcher 2 and Phil Wang

July 30, 2021 08:00 - 43 minutes

As this season of 10/10 Would Recommend draws to a close, we thought it would be churlish not to at least give a cursory nod to some of the smaller, unknown shows coming to Netflix in the last half of 2021. You know, give these shows as much of a chance of finding an audience as possible. So bear with us while we force ourselves to take a look at *checks notes* Stranger Things 4, Sex Ed 3, Money Heist 5, The Witcher 2 and a whole host of commercially risky ventures.

Alexandre Aja on Oxygen and the new wave of incredible foreign language films

May 21, 2021 08:00 - 37 minutes

There was a time when anything with subtitles was considered far too intellectual and posh for mainstream consumption - but thanks in part to the meteoric rise in the fantastic Scandi-Noir genre, we now think nothing of settling down and applying a bit more concentration.
