·33 min·2 clips

The spa has an Experian shower that releases essential oils and hits you from different angles like "X-Men."

1. Rage Whale's Round-Up episode covers entertainment news, reviews, and recommendations across film, TV, and personal weeklies. 2. The hosts named in the episode are three friends who trade opinions, and Kev and James anchor most of the news-and-recommendations sections. 3. The episode is built to catch up listeners on new trailers, casting announcements, and recent watches without a single interview guest. 4. The opening block ranges from a spa visit at the Grand Hotel in Brighton to laser tag and a London trip to Elvis Evolution near Canary Wharf. 5. The spa details include an Experian shower, fake candles, a water cannon, steam room, and essential oils. 6. The laser tag story includes James saying he came second and third, and that he was shooting other people's kids. 7. The Elvis Evolution segment mentions AI Elvis, actors on a production set, cocktails, and a 60s-style bar. 8. The movie news starts with Timothée Chalamet's Marty Supreme trailer and his table-tennis preparation. 9. The hosts say Chalamet has been learning table tennis for years, turned his living room into a table-tennis area, and trained during Wonka and Dune Part Two. 10. They also talk about long, panning shots and a refusal to fake the sport with AI or heavy cutting. 11. The episode then moves to awards talk about Teyana Taylor in One Battle After Another being pushed for lead actress. 12. They describe that move as a strategic awards choice because a lead-actress slot is tougher than supporting. 13. Ocean's 14 comes up next, with the original cast discussed alongside George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and references to the two brothers and Bernie Mac. 14. The Beatles biopic series is another major topic, with Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan, Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Amy Lou Wood, and Mia McKenna-Bruce named. 15. Sam Raimi's Send Help gets a detailed trailer breakdown with Rachel McAdams, a misogynistic boss, a plane crash, and island survival. 16. The hosts mention that the story shifts toward violence, control, and horror after McAdams' character is stranded. 17. The tone is casual, chatty, and review-heavy, with interruptions, jokes, and quick pivots between news items. 18. The format mixes personal catch-up, recent-viewing reactions, and short recommendation bursts rather than structured segments. 19. People who follow film trailers, casting news, and TV recommendations would like this episode. 20. People wanting a tightly edited, single-topic deep dive might skip it.
