Eurovision 2025 was a massive live broadcast — but is winning still the point?

This week on The Media Couple, we unpack why Eurovision has become less about the trophy and more about creating a viral moment. From the jaw-dropping scale of the live production to the Austria vs. Israel showdown at the end, we break down what Eurovision really rewards now — and why that might be changing.

We also share our favourite acts, wonder what went wrong for Remember Monday, and ask: is it time to rethink the voting process?

This week on The Media Couple, Sophie and Rory take on the cultural shift that’s making waves across film, media, and Gen Z habits. Why are analogue experiences—like Blockbuster pop-ups and dumb phones—suddenly back? Is it rebellion, exhaustion, or just the natural correction after a decade of algorithm overload?

They also review Another Simple Favor (yes, there's a sequel), unpack Hollywood’s obsession with recycled IP, and try to answer the bigger question: have we finally had enough content?

Smart analysis. Good shade. Real industry talk.

Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs on foreign film imports are making headlines, and for good reason. In this emergency episode, The Media Couple breaks down how these tariffs could devastate the UK film industry. As BECTU warns, the impact could be "a knockout blow,” threatening thousands of jobs and billions in production investment.

We explore the politics driving the policy, why the UK is particularly vulnerable, and what this means for the global entertainment landscape. If you work in film, TV, or care about the future of British storytelling, this is one you can't miss.
