Our TV Show Recommendations for 2025 - Plus the Black Plastic Panic

What are you watching on TV these days, and have you heard about the dangers of black, plastic utensils?

This week on Wine Chats, it was all about our favourite movies and shows at the moment, and where we thought we'd be really similar, we're actually wildly different! And on ChatterBox, Billi discovered a headline that changed her kitchen drawers forever - but was it all baseless?

Let's get stuck into what we've been chatting about this week, including some fun TV show recommendations for 2025 and a deep dive into the black plastic concerns that caught our attention.

What have we been watching?

We're pretty similar in most ways, we're literally the type of friends who finish each others sentences and our dinner menus are basically identical - so how are we so different when it comes to streaming watch lists and TV show preferences?

While Billi’s currently in the deep in the moody world of Dept. Q on Netflix, Lyndsey's living her best glam life with The Kardashians. But then we hit a snag as we discuss the TV show that's set to rip our friendship apart - The Handmaid's Tale.

Listen now and tell us — what have you been watching lately? And what are your must-watch picks for binge-worthy TV shows this year?

Are black utensils dangerous?

Moving on to our ChatterBox episode this week, Billi brought something to the kitchen table that Lyndsey wasn't expecting — the dangers of black plastic utensils!

After seeing a headline on Taste — in fact, she didn’t even read the full article, only the headline — Billi immediately threw away her black plastic spatulas and bought wooden sets.

But what's the real story behind these alarming headlines? Is there any truth to claims about black plastic safety and the risks involved? Listen on, and we'd love to know — are you still using your black utensils, or have you switched over too?

Ok black plastics - but what about micro plastics?

Let's talk microplastics — bad, right?

We're throwing it back to season 5 with this beauty, because we all know that being surrounded by plastic pollution is terrible for us. But then we find out that not only are we surrounded by the plastic we see — there’s a whole other world of microplastics you’ve probably never even heard of... #scarystuff

We hope you enjoy this throwback and let us know in the comments — are you terrified of microplastics too? Or are you taking steps to reduce plastic waste in your lifestyle?

Behind the scenes

This week, we've finally made the move to Fansly! We will no longer be posting on FeetFinder, as we mentioned  last week. It was kind of a creepy place for us to be. So very exciting to finally move on from our OnlyFans journey and look forward to building up a fan base on Fansly.

In other news, just as we sat down to record our ChatterBox episode for next week, Billi thought she'd be diligent and clear our Rodecaster SD card with previous episode recordings - only to realise a second too late that she had also just deleted the episode we had just recorded for ChatterBox - and there is no way to retrieve it.

Exact moment Billi's heart dropped — a true podcasting nightmare!

So, unfortunately, that means there won't be a ChatterBox episode next week — but it made for an amazing Wine Chats episode, fuelled by regrets and Limoncello.

We hope you've enjoyed spending this week with us and we hope you'll be back for the next. Wishing you an amazing weekend!
