This week on Two Ginger Gems, it's still intercontinental. Kate and Mikki back in Hollywood, James in a heatwave in Derby. England beat Mexico in what was one of the best games of the tournament, Norway was stressful, and now they're facing Argentina in the semi-final with the fate of the nation on the line. James finally meets his Queen, Anne Mitchell, Dolly Rawlings from Widows, 40 years in the making, at a matinee in London. The Wes Anderson evening at the Hollywood Bowl was an absolute beautiful mess. Madonna becomes the first female US artist to have number one albums in five consecutive decades, the Rolling Stones release a new single, Line of Duty gets an urgent classic TV recommendation, and the tarot card this week is The Master. Kate thinks it means England are winning the World Cup.

This week on Two Ginger Gems, Kate and Mikki are broadcasting from Palm Springs, James is still in Derbyshire, and between them they have watched almost every World Cup 2026 match, including one of the greatest games Kate has ever seen in her life, Cape Verde vs Argentina. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married in a castle inside Madison Square Garden, Adam Sandler officiated, and Hugh Grant was inexplicably in attendance looking deeply unimpressed. The Bear is finished and Kate is bereft. There's a fabulous 1964 classic film called What a Way to Go! with Shirley MacLaine, Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Dean Martin, Dick Van Dyke and the most astonishing Edith Head costumes you've ever seen. Plus Arrested Development finally gets the recommendation it deserves, James interviewed Shirley MacLaine in her Malibu house and found Warren Beatty's phone number on the fridge, Mariah Carey's lighting demands on American Idol, Kate used to be Cilla Black's lighting fluffer, and Palm Springs gets a getaway guide with vintage shops, restaurants, and where to stay. The card this week is We Are The World, and it couldn't be more fitting.

Recorded on Zoom across two continents!

This week on Two Ginger Gems, World Cup fever, more Marilyn, and the Bear is back. James is broadcasting from a heatwave-ravaged England while Kate and Mikki hold it down in LA, and between them they've watched basically every World Cup match, with a special shoutout to the legendary Scottish fans in Boston. There's the Marilyn Monroe exhibition deep dive, Sleepless in Seattle turns 33, The Bear returns for its final season, the ITV drama Believe Me is a gut punch, and a one-night-only pop-up with pizza legend Chris Bianco was a genuine treat. Plus England's 1,200-year-old Major Oak has died, and Kate finally gets her hands on the tarot deck again after weeks of asking everyone else to pick. The card is The Source.
