On this week's Periodical Prattle, Ben and Gio go back to February 17, 2017 to talk about the Pet Shop Boys! They received the NME's Godlike Genius award in 2017, which leads into a deep discussion into their remarkable career. Ben and Gio also spend some time in the present by going into the line-up for California goth music festival Cruel World, and give a hearty recommendation to Rose Matefeo's BBC3 comedy Starstruck. They also get into some wild tangents which we'll let you hear for yourself, and they wrap it all up with a talk of 1996's Big Night, directed, written and starring Stanley Tucci.
