We have taken out our Invisalign, and this is the podcast: Mick Snowden of Behold! rejoins Pop Screen to review Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry. It’s basically a piece of embedded journalism from the household of a very 21st-century pop star, from the day she first uploaded ‘Ocean Eyes’ to being tapped to write a Bond theme at the age of eighteen.
Along the way, Graham and Mick will debate whether 140 minutes is the right length of time to document a career that’s still only one album long, as well as pondering the mysterious name of Billie’s no-mark boyfriend “Q”, appreciating the convenience of having a mother who doubles as a masseuse, sharing a personal anecdote about a Radio 2 DJ and delineating the difference between a guy who has a car and a Car Guy.
Alas, we have yet to achieve the level of success that might make Katy Perry pay attention to us, but if you want to help us get there you can donate to our Patreon and get yourself an exclusive bonus episode every month. You can also keep up to date on our plans for our future (can’t wait to meet her!) on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

“In February, Mark Cunliffe joined the podcast to review That’ll Be the Day, a low budget film starring David Essex as wannabe rock star Jim MacLaine. It was a gritty, down-to-earth take on the early days of rock and roll – certainly, you’d never expect it to have a lavish sequel shot by Nicolas Roeg’s regular cinematographer where MacLaine becomes a megastar, goes to LA and alienates all his old friends while making a prog opera about womanhood“.
