WATCH all our video eps & get other exclusive perks with Emsolation Extra @ https://emsolation.supercast.com/ This week Em joins us via Zoom from Sydney where she’s hosting the National Disability and Inclusion Summit after flying up for Michael’s Halloween Party on Saturday night. Inside this episode you’ll hear about the success of Michael’s Halloween celebration and why Em thinks it’s time to start charging for a ticket. It was a huge weekend for F1 fans after Kimi Antonelli was crowned the youngest ever Formula One World Champion driver, so naturally Em is very keen to update and celebrate that with Michael. Em’s also keen to discuss inhaling back to back episodes of period dramas like ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ and ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ and how it’s changed her aesthetic. Michael meanwhile has been stepping back into the darker side of the 90’s with the Netflix docu-series ‘The One About Matthew Perry’. Michael is also still gently encouraging Em to watch ‘Furious’ and ‘Dustfall’, but she remains uninterested in watching anything that bleak. Michael’s husband Adrian got to enjoy a series of ‘Leviticus’ themed Halloween outfits, Em and Michael reveal their fave Halloween costumes and the uproar over Martha Stewart’s off choice for a costume too. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael make their predictions for the US Mid-Terms and Em wants to work through all the red flags of a cancelled first date she thankfully avoided.
