The Way They Were

Listen on

Episode notes

Rejoice, rejoice for the day has finally arrived when we're allowed to go misty-eyed at the reverie of a VERY special pair of Hollywood exes, all thanks to this week's incredible guest, the fantastic comedian, Desiree Burch!

Desiree takes us all the way back to the beginning of the 1990s, when Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins were couples goals for everyone in and outside of Tinsel Town. But, how on earth could such a holy alliance fail?

Well, as always Grainne's rigorous research and Chantal's encyclopedic knowledge give us all a pretty good idea of what probably went down and how then-child star Saoirse Ronan may (or may not) have been the catalyst which ended this once-solid couple.

We also get to find out why Ms Sarandan is forever linked with the world of ping pong - and it's got nothing to do with the movies!
