In keeping with the royal theme, Gena gets tested on her (lack of) knowledge of the Queen, we talk about Gena’s journey into the Upside Down and Tolani shares her thoughts on TV bullies getting what they deserve. The titles mentioned this week include: Stranger Things Season 4 Love on the Spectrum US Bullshit: The Gameshow Bigger Than Africa Dark Money And of course, we couldn’t leave you without some films and TV shows to look out for over the summer. As a reminder, there’s Floor is Lava Season 2 (3rd June), Hustle (8th June), First Kill (10th June), Halftime (June 14), God’s Favourite Idiot (15th June), Snowflake Mountain (22nd June), Man vs Bee (24th June), Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area (24th June), Stranger Things Season 4 Part 2 (1st July) We’ll (hopefully) be back for another season soon, but until then you can tweet us @SmileGena and @Tolly_T with the hashtag #1010WouldRecommend and tell us your TV and film takes.
