Nick Grimshaw spent the morning a little spooked after watching Linda Cardellini’s new horror series Crystal Lake the night before, and told her so live on air. Cardellini, who plays Jason Voorhees’ mother Pamela in the Friday the 13th prequel, admitted the shoot in the New Jersey woods left her battered and bitten, saying “there’s a lot of ticks in the New Jersey woods” and that every day ended with “a lot of showering” to get the fake blood off. She also looked back fondly on Freaks and Geeks, admitting the show’s cancellation at the time felt “brutal” before it found new life on DVD and streaming.
Earlier in the show Nick shared some happy listener news, revealing that Laura had texted in because her daughter Maple’s 16th birthday treat will be a trip to see Fontaines D.C. next July. He also teased that the band were due to release their first ever guest-vocal track later that day, a collaboration with Rosalía called Where Is Gone, timed for 6.30pm release the next day.
As he handed over, Nick set listeners a challenge for Lauren Laverne’s Six of the Best, asking for suggestions on who influenced Geese, after their singer Cameron Winter’s recent solo material got the pair talking about the band’s musical family tree.
