Drew and Sam are actors. They haven’t won any Academy Awards yet, and neither of them are in line to be the new James Bond (sorry Sam), but between them they do have over half a century’s worth of experience in the industry. Many months ago a combination of boredom, significantly reduced work opportunities (thanks pandemic!) and overactive and under-stimulated imaginations inspired them to create a podcast, and somehow they’re still at it. Join the Drewling Samantics chaps every Sunday (or d ...

Deja Vu “Never go back”. “Seen it all before”. “You can never have too much of a good thing”. “Unfinished business”.
