Push is funny, sharp, and full of moments I didn't realise I was missing on screen. I've genuinely never seen two disabled people just having a conversation on a TV show before and not about being inspirational, just... living. I rarely laugh out loud at anything, but this had me actually cracking up.

As someone who now uses a wheelchair after getting long COVID, I related hard. Gig venues have stopped searching me too, and yeah, I sneak in alcohol. Watching people like me being funny, cheeky, and unapologetically themselves felt like something I didn't know I needed.

I've really enjoyed Rosie Jones' writing for radio before, and it's so exciting to see her voice on screen. The cast have great chemistry, the writing is sharp, and it leaves space for both humour and honesty. It's not polished, and that's what makes it brilliant. I hope this is the start of much more.

This film is honestly like nothing else. It's a surreal, trans coming-of-age story mashed up with a parody of the Joker mythos-and somehow it all works. Vera Drew plays a young, closeted trans woman growing up in a world where comedy is regulated by a mega-corporate version of "Saturday Night Live" and Batman is a fascist. The story follows her as she comes out, tries to find her voice, and builds a found family of weird, queer supervillains in a warped version of Gotham.

It's deeply weird, often messy, and completely unapologetic. The animation and live-action blend in this janky, patchwork style that actually makes it feel more personal-not slick, but raw in a way that works. And it's funny in this dry, sad, angry way that queer folks will absolutely get.

More than anything, it feels like a film made entirely for the trans community-like a punk zine come to life. It's angry and joyful and weird and sweet all at once. It's not perfect, but it's perfect for what it is.

Not everyone's going to vibe with it, and that's the point. But if you've ever felt like you don't quite fit into the world you were handed? This one's for you.

Out of Order with Rosie Jones is a proper good time. It's one of those panel shows that doesn't take itself too seriously, and Rosie brings loads of energy-cheeky, loud, and totally in charge of the chaos. The basic idea is that guests have to guess how the public ranked random stuff, and it leads to some very weird and funny conversations.

Some episodes are better than others-it really depends on who's on the panel. When the guests click, it's genuinely hilarious. When they don't... it can drag a bit.

Still, it's fun background telly. Doesn't ask much of you, makes you laugh, and has a bit of Rosie's lovely weirdness running through it.
