There’s no way around it - this podcast has been a slog sometimes. And no time has that been more apparent to our hero Anthony than this third and final film in the Fifty Shades universe - Fifty Shades Freed. Spoiler alert: He HATED this movie. And now he has to tell us WHY. But more importantly, he has to stay on topic for an entire synopsis! Can he accomplish so rudimentary a task? Will Rae and Ross conspire to knock him off course and talk about random bullshit? Will he sabotage himself with random bullshit?!?

We wanted to understand more about the popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey in the year 2020 - now that we’re leaving that raw b-hole of a year in the fucking dust. Was it our podcast that launched it back into the public eye? We definitely don’t want to take ALL of the credit - but we’ll certainly take MOST of it! And while you’re lavishing us with that credit, make sure to check out this new game Ross has created, pitting the self-styled “King of Fifty Shades” Anthony against “The Girl”, Raeburn. They’ll have to use all of their Google Trends knowledge in a slap-dash competition for vague points in a game show based around incomplete knowledge and a dubious corporations search engine! ——— If you want to reach out, please follow us on Instagram @50weekspodcast - or, feel free to email us at 50weeksofgrey@gmail.com!

It’s time for us to sound the NEW CONTENT ALARM! Anthony and Rae dive into the SECOND film in the Fifty Shades trilogy - and the results are surprisingly entertaining.

This week we want to talk about yet another horrifying sociopath like Christian Grey - but this one at least has the decency to be entertaining.
