Ben and Mikey weigh in on the online discourse surrounding Lily Allen’s arena tour for her fifth studio album. What worked? What didn’t? And how much can an audience reasonably expect when they’ve paid triple figures for a ticket?

Meanwhile, the boys were more than satisfied — and more than a little surprised — by Take That’s revival of their most ambitious tour, seventeen years after it first hit the road. What was it that made it a night to Never Forget?

In this bonus episode, the boys share their thoughts on the latest blockbuster from Steven Spielberg. What left Ben unexpectedly emotional? Why does Mikey question whether it’s really a sci-fi film? And what is it about extraterrestrial life that continues to captivate us?

Elsewhere, they shine a spotlight on End of the Rainbow, starring Jinkx Monsoon as Judy Garland, before returning to Confessions Corner to discuss Madonna’s latest cover shoot and sit down with Interview magazine, and the rumours that she could be set to make an appearance at London Pride.
