Itâs been a while, but the theme of season 2 is unplanned and thereâs a lot to talk about. Weâve been watching Spider-Man: Homecoming, Wonder Woman, Love Island, Summer Break and The Bachelor, leading to an in-depth discussion of reality tv. Plus we take on romance in fiction, the depiction of Sylvia Plath and the state of feminism today.
