Round 24 - Fan pick episode! What we do like about the nature

This week the girls take aim at a special fan picked topic being what we do like about the nature.............





Every week one of the girls finds a reason to tell their wonderful listeners about why you should not go into the nature. This week, at the request of a fan, the girls discuss what they like about the nature. 

But first, what were we drinking?

Bianca opened with how this topic got her wishing for a holiday and then she put down the shovel, dusted off her fuzzy tail and got back on topic.

Her favourite thing in "The Nature" is the beach and she gave you listeners some insight into topless bathing.

(leg was broken in two places so had to be done, He's perfectly fine!! Just wanted to show how much love Bianca has for the nature)

(FYI Rhino's feel like petting a car tire)


Amy normally spends a good chunk of the episode explaining what she hates about the nature so this episode was completely different for her. For Amy her detest for the nature is not 100% true.

Amy is a vegetarian and tries very hard to protect the environment by recycling and reusing everything she can. In summary, she likes animals (but not too close), nature is a formidable asshole (much like herself), and she likes the positive effect that nature has on her mental health (in short spurts, she still hates camping).

Here are some photos of the animals that inhabit Amy's house

Sarah talks about some of her favourite things she likes to do out in the nature such as hiking, camping and going to the beach during a storm much to Amy displeasure. It looks like Sarah might like the nature the most out of the group.
Here are some photos of the last time Sarah went out into the nature.

Round 23 - Fan pick episode! In a universe where Tim Burton never existed what happens to the careers of Michael Keaton, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter?

This week the girls take aim at a topic picked by a fan and the girls theorise about what would become of actors like Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, and Michael Keaton in a universe without Tim Burton...


Ever wondered what would happen to Michael Keaton, Johnny Depp, or Helena Bonham Carter if Tim Burton never existed? Join the girls as they speculate wildly about what would have happened to the careers of these three in a world where Tim Burton never existed.

But first, what were we drinking?

Amy was drinking Gudilly Pinot Gris

Bianca was drinking Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice Gin

This week Amy introduced the topic by giving a background and filmography on Tim Burton. Admittedly the girls have seen a lot of Tim Burton films so safe to say Mr Burton has three fans here.


Amy then discussed what would have become of Michael Keaton without Tim Burton. Michael Keaton has in fact been in a staggering number of films but only four Tim Burton films which arguably didn't have a career-defining effect on him. Amy concluded that Michael Keaton's career would not have suffered greatly.

Sarah swoons over Johnny Depp as she goes through his extensive career and tries to work out where Johnny would be without Mr Burton and what Johnny's career looked like before Mr Burton.

Bianca discussed the effervescent and vivacious Helana Bonham Carter. Helena has starred in 7 Tim Burton films, in a row! From Planet of the Apes through to Dark Shadows. She has often said in interviews that she loved starring in his films because she had a full creative license to act, look and be fully into the character as she wanted. I think because of this fact many believe that Tim Burton discovered her. So what would her career have looked like if he never existed… Well, Helena started acting in 1983 at the age of 17 playing Lucy Honeychurch in A Room with a View (1985). Her early period roles saw her typecast as a virginal "English rose", a label she was uncomfortable with. For her role as Kate Croy in The Wings of the Dove (1997), Bonham Carter received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in The King's Speech (2010), she won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. For her role as children's author Enid Blyton in the BBC Four biographical film Enid (2009), she won the 2010 International Emmy Award for Best Actress and was nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress. Looking at her career she has starred in 63 films (Bianca did not count them - just a great gift) if you take away the measly 7 Tim Burton films… that leaves 56 Amazing performances remaining… So in my opinion, if Tim Burton never existed, Helana would have been fine. It would not have hurt her career at all.
