In this week's eppy, we're talking about Raven Leiliani's millenial debut, Luster. We follow Edie (who knew?), a black woman in her early twenties who gets involved in a love triangle with a fortysomething white man in an open-ish marriage. Bizarre. We wash the story down with a Love and Lust cocktail, and Paul substitutes the watermelon for pomegranate juice in solidarity with Sarah and her attention-seeking allergies. Sarah of course deviates from the recipe as usual, leaving Paul with a hole in his pocket (to the tune of FOUR POUNDS AND TWENTY PENCE). But it's ok because the sun is shining and Michael is making Wednesday night margz.
We then talk about Paul accidentally flicking a spider onto a commuting business man, the cultural validity of practical jokes, and the perplexing species of 'the heterosexual man'. We hope you very much enjoy, and that you express that joy financially. (By giving us money, if that wasn't clear.)
