This week, I am revisiting Lucifer and looking at the most recent episodes released on Netflix as of the 28th of May 2021. This review is as spoiler-free as I can make it – in other words, I reveal pretty much nothing that will have you running away screaming I spoiled the show for you....
In this, the first-ever episode of The Bookshop I look at the first book in Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows Duology, appropriately titled Six of Crows. I talk nothing but books in this spin-off of Not Before Coffee! So settle back and listen as I talk about this 2015 YA novel. Also, I mention an...
Welcome to season 2, brand new format, brand new concept, same old Raye! This week I am talking about the 1999-2001 TV show, Spaced. I also tell you all about the changes that come with the new season and go into a bit of detail about anxiety attacks. I’m so glad to be back!
In the finale of Season 1, I am talking about the new Netflix series, Shadow and Bone. Starring Jessie Mei Li and Ben Barnes, this is an adaptation of a book trilogy I have never read (I know, gasp, shock, horror). I also talk about a destructive pattern in my life I need to get...
This week I am looking at another 1995 film in Clueless. Has it stood the test of time? Will I find it creepy watching as a fully grown adult who is analysing it, or will it never lose its charm? I also talk about my viewing for the coming week, my plans for the long...

This week I have a guest, Griff from the Paul and Griff Show as we talk about 2005’s The Wedding Date. We also cast the remake – you know, just in case! Featured Podcast: The Paul and Griff Show
We’re out of March, which means that Chris Evans Season is over. So, this week I am talking about 2010’s Easy A, starring Emma Stone and Stanley Tucci (love Stanley Tucci). I am also talking about a brand new (to me) author, Keri Arthur and her 2017 book, Blood Kissed. There’s also a journey into...
This week, in a departure from most of the films I have done, I am looking at a blockbuster. Yes, for the last episode in 2021’s Chris Evans Season I am going straight for the big guns with 2012’s Avengers Assemble. I will also be talking about Madeline Miller’s 2018 book Circe as well as...
