Bleak In Review

Welcome back, Bleak-starved heathens! Matt and John are out on assignment, so Kevin kicks things off this week with some rambling about the FBI and the latest Hollywood crimes. Then, actor Ethan Lawrence (@EthanDLawrence) joins Kevin for the first time from Across the Pond to discuss the US versus UK political climate, whose country has more transphobes, and various accent related shenanigans! Bruv!

Kevin kicks off this week's Bleak with chatter about American injustices and comedian assaults. Then, Matt and Kevin welcome comedians John Fahy and Radostin Zahariev back to the podcast for a no-holds barred riff sesh on all types of silly nonsense. Too much to describe, really, but it's a real doozy of a good time.
