Smoggie Queens is our new favorite show, and we're lucky to have the creator and star Phil Dunning on today's episode! You've seen Phil pop up in some of the best shows coming out of the UK: Feel Good, Stath Lets Flats, Am I Being Unreasonable?, Juice, and of course, his own show Smoggie Queens, which just finished its second series on BBC Three (if you don't live in the UK, figure out a way to watch it STAT!). We're calling Phil "the Amy Sedaris of England" because of the wide gap between Phil's sincerity and his characters' grotesquery! We talk all about that, whether Phil needs therapy, how many friends he has (a lot, apparently), secret dating in college, whether you should upload butthole pics to the cloud and SO MUCH MORE!

Toxic Town (Netflix, 4 episodes) is the first of two series this week set in England. Jodie Whittaker stars as one of a group of women in Corby in the Midlands that gave birth to children with physical abnormalities. They subsequently took the local council to court in a battle over compensation to prove that neglect of toxic waste was the cause. Don’t miss a super performance from the wonderful Aimee Lou Wood. Smoggie Queens (Binge/Foxtel, 6 episodes) is a hilarious comedy about the group of LGBTQ friends in Middlesbrough, northern England. The series is written by and stars Phil Dunning as the unforgettable Dickie. He gives many of the best lines though to Mark Benton’s character Mam. The White Lotus (S3 Binge/Foxtel, 8 episodes) has finally turned up on the TV Gold radar. It has taken three seasons, but we are well and truly hitched to the wagon. This season is set in Koh Samui which coincidentally is where co-host James Manning was when this episode was recorded. Some hilarious characters this season led by Jason Isaacs as a wealthy businessman whose business seems to be spiraling out of control. His family includes Parker Posey as his wife and Patrick Schwarzenegger as their eldest son. The most interesting couple are arguably Aimee Lou Wood and her older and richer partner Walton Goggins. This episode also talk about the new streaming service Tubi which is ramping up in Australia and give co-host Andrew Mercado some homework for next week.
