Spillers, this is an exciting new drop from our sister podcast Watch Party! To hear the rest of our Emily In Paris series, make sure you're following the Watch Party feed on Apple or Spotify. 

In this episode, you'll learn about: 

Italian Culture & Fashion:
We explore the clash of cultures, from dining customs to flirting norms, and the ways Italian fashion and cinema-inspired styling reflect Emily’s emotional journey.

Friendships, Romance & Girl Code:
Yep, it’s time to talk about Mindy and Alfie’s tricky dynamic…  we unpack the ethical grey area of dating your friend’s ex and the unspoken social rules of friendship.

Emily’s Evolution & Season 5 Stakes:
We dive into how Emily is growing as a professional and as a person - including the moments that hint at what the rest of the season may hold.

It’s everything you need to know about Emily’s Italian chapter… the friendships, the drama, and the fashion — before you binge the rest of Season 5.

OUR DEEP DIVE INTO EMILY IN PARIS S5 EPS 1-4: Culture Clashes & Broken Girl Code 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/d4fbed6f-faa1-4549-a169-b3b800130c03/transcript

We’re closing out the year with Laura and Em bringing you their absolute favourite films of 2025 — from two girls whose actual job it is to watch everything.

From the blockbuster no one thought would hit this hard, to the unsettling sci-fi surprise that completely rewired our expectations, to the movie that quietly became the most talked-about watch of the year, this round-up proves that 2025 delivered in ways we did not see coming.

And because it wouldn’t be an Em-and-Laura movie episode without a fight, things quickly derail when one pick sparks a very real debate about release dates, eligibility for today's theme, and whether “vibes” should count more than rules (Laura has thoughts).Consider this your must-watch list before the year ends — emotional, surprising, occasionally unhinged, and very on brand.

THE END BITS
