## Resource

Film critic Katie Walsh joins Katey to talk about meteoric rise of Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, the intense fandom that's developed around them, and what their sudden stardom ought to teach Hollywood. Then Katey talks to Harry Melling about his bold and surprisingly sweet romance Pillion, which required some predictable risks — working with a first-time director, learning to ride a motorcycle — but also the unexpected terror of shaving his head for the first time. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to Prestige Junkie After Party bonus episodes for just $5 a month. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to the Prestige Junkie newsletter.
