Harry Styles is confirmed to star alongside Emma Corrin in a movie based on My Policeman, a story about a married man who falls in love with another man during the 1950s. The book is told from the wife’s perspective and deals with love, marriage, and the homophobia of the time. We talk about the importance of queer people telling queer stores and dig into the directing/producing history of the team telling this story (big thanks to Stef for this one!). We also have fun looking at behind the scenes photos for Don’t Worry Darling, the movie Harry is just wrapping filming for, starring Florence Pugh and directed by Olivia Wilde. Neither of us have read the script yet so we make guesses as to what the blood stains mean on Florence's dress, why Harry’s head has fake blood, where Harry’s tattoos went and how long it took them to cover with makeup, why Harry is wearing a floral apron, and whether or not there is a time jump in the movie based on one picture where their outfits seem to look like something one may see today. We also talk about Olivia Wilde’s interview/conversation with director of Promising Young Woman, Emerald Fennell, for Variety. Wilde talks about her approach to directing and the emphasis she puts on creating a comfortable, non-hierarchical, warm environment for all crew and actors on her sets. She seems like a damn good person and an awesome director! Check out Talk Direction Down Low (TDDL) on patreon.com/talkdirection for EXTRA PODCAST CONTENT!!

On this week’s episode we catch up with Zayn! He is apparently filming a music video in New York City for a new song that will be on the Aladdin soundtrack. Will he be singing a Disney classic like A Whole New World or will it be a song Zayn wrote? Zayn also released a very scenic music video for his song Stand Still. Is he going to release a music video for every song? We then play James Corden’s game Kiss, Marry, Cruise with 1D songs (ie. She’s Not Afraid, Girl Almighty, & Woman). It gets quite silly as I am sure you can imagine! Recently we asked listeners on twitter which 1D and Harry songs describe their personalities. We read listener responses and choose songs for ourselves. Plus, we introduce a new game where one person says a word, for example 'love', and the other has to sing a 1D lyric with that word in it (trust me it is MUCH harder than it seems!). Finally, we finish off the episode with a classic round of 1D as…QUEER EYE!!! We don’t quite agree with Matt Bellassai's choices!

Will we be getting a summer BOP from him soon? -Louis is set to perform at the Free Radio Hits Live on May 4th in Birmingham. What songs will he be performing? -Harry inducted Stevie Nicks into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a heartwarming speech. Stevie and Harry also performed her song Stop Draggin' My Heart Around and they sounded fabulous together. We can't wait for the ceremony to air later this month so we can get a high quality version of their duet. Harry has also had some ICONIC fashion moments as of late, which we deemed essential to discuss: fluctuating nail polish colors, headphones worn over two hoods, a velvet blue suit, and a witchy airport look!

In honor of halloween month we are re-visiting a song that we did an episode on last year, Two Ghosts! We both love this song so much and wanted to discuss it again.

Included in this episode are lots of little musical clips of two ghosts and other songs/instruments we reference!

We all know that Harry Styles' performance outfits are out of this world, but his street style is also spectacular.

We also talk 1D as Harry Potter and SpongeBob characters with our guest hosts TuneMuses. Can you guess which boy we think would be Larry the Lobster and which would be SpongeBob's Grandma?!

Zayn's debut album, Mind of Mine, is FiNaLly out!! Caitlin's sister, Jessica, guest hosts the news as we discuss Niall getting Snapchat, Simon Cowell's statement, "I don’t know if it’s a hiatus or a breakup, to be honest", and the BeFoUr music video. Then for the main discussion Cara and Caitlin go through each song on Mind of Mine and talk music, lyrics, and overall impressions. We talk about Kehlani, featured on wRoNg, our opinions on the lovely slow ballads, BLUE and fOoL fOr YoU, and what we think tRuTh and sHe are about. Let us know your opinions because these are really just our first reactions!

On this episode we talk about Liam's new sleeve tattoo and the Horan and Rose charity event coming in May. Zayn did an interview with Complex Magazine and we discuss some of the questions asked  Is Zayn going to go to University? How does he feel about the upcoming Mind of Mine release? We also discuss what we think BeFoUr is about and how it relates to Zayn's experience leaving 1D. Then, we get serious and talk about some really important things related to the 1D fandom, including the recent iCloud leak and misogyny in and out of fandom culture. These are all huge topics and we would love to hear what you guys have to say!

On this episode we talk about the prospect of Harry acting in Christopher Nolan's new film, Dunkirk. Do we think he will be good at acting? What will happen to his hair?! We also discuss the similarities between Zayn's new song 'Like I Would' and 1D's old song 'I Would'. Then, for the main discussion we talk feminism and the not so good messages in 'Little Black Dress' and 'Little White Lies', both of which were on One Direction's third album, Midnight Memories.

tHiS wEeK oN tAlK DiReCtIoN we talk about Niall's return to civilization, Zayn's intriguing tracklist, and we do a lyrical analysis of one our favorites off Made in the A.M. -- End of the Day!

In this episode we talk the Brit awards, Zayn's new It's You music video, and our current feelings about the 1D break! We also sort the boys into Hogwarts houses using the Official Pottermore Sorting Hat. What would each boy's favorite Hogwarts subject be? What job would they hold in the wizarding world? And which Quidditch position would each boy play? We are huge Harry Potter fans and combining 1D and HP is pretty much the best thing that could happen in our minds!

This week we cover a much-requested topic -- the boys' hair journeys over the years! We begin our hair trek in the ancient times of X-factor all the way up to present day! These boys have had a whooooole lot of hair styles. We also talk about Zayn's new song, 'It's You,' Liam and Louis at the Brits, and Louis' new selfie habit!

Of course we discuss Zayn's new pink hair, whether or not we think Made in the A.M. could win a Grammy next year, and One Direction on Jimmy Kimmel's Mean Tweets segment (and the more fun #1DRoast)! Our main discussion on this episode is a song analysis all about Diana from Midnight Memories. Should this song have had a music video? How does it compare to songs off Made in the A.M.? and finally, Who is Diana? Make sure to let us know what you think!

This week we do something a little different-- we ordered the tracks off Made in the A.M to create a story!

SO MUCH HAPPENED THIS WEEK! We try to talk about it all -- Zayn's new song 'PILLOWTALK,' the History music video and Louis' baby!

The Fandom Episode is finally here! We decided there’s too much to cram into just one episode so this is part one of two! In this episode we discuss why only some people are drawn to fandom, what makes the 1D fandom different from others, fan fiction, fan art and more!

This episode of Talk Direction we discuss Liam's Attitude Magazine interview, a possible new music video, and all the details of our On the Road Again Boston show!

This week we discuss Niall mysteriously fracturing a bone, Zayn’s new found love for social media, and a great article defending fandom! This isn’t The Fandom Episode™, but it’s basically like a prequel to it!

This week we discuss the boys being cute on twitter, the action/1d fan video and we have a chat about Girl Almighty and Steal My Girl! (We’re holding off on the fandom episode because we want to leave submissions open for a bit longer so we can make the episode really great for you guys! Hope you understand!) On this episode– - The boys tweeted about the break, assuring fans that it’s only a break not a break-up. We talk about our thoughts on the hiatus now that the dust has settled. - We talk about Louis’ great taste in emojis. - Liam’s feeling twenty-twoooo ? and he had an awesome Harry Potter cake to celebrate another year on planet Earth, reminiscent of one Cara made Caitlin a few years back. You can see Caitlin’s cake on our twitter @talk_direction - Liam got two new tattoos! - Julian Bunetta, a producer and co-writer for 1D, gave an interview talking about the break, Zayn, and a “sexually charged” song off the new album. No Control: The Sequel? We’d be down. - Clips that fans submitted were spliced together to make a great action/1d video! We’re still super excited about this project and can’t wait to see where else the boys will take it. - For our main discussion in this episode, we compare Girl Almighty and Steal My Girl -- the lyrics, the message, the vibes. We had fun discussing it and we’d love to hear your thoughts as well! - We take a Sugarscape quiz titled ‘How much have One Direction dragged you down over the years?’ We probably didn’t need a quiz to tell us how far down we’ve gone, but it was fun nonetheless! - QUESTION OF THE WEEK: 1. What do you think about comparisons we made between Girl Almighty and Steal My Girl or what other thoughts do you have on the songs? 2. Please write in for our fandom episode! Feel free to write in about anything– friends you’ve made, fan fiction, fan art, fan projects, favorite fandom inside jokes, etc!

On this week’s episode we talk about 1D taking a break, the twitter spat between Calvin Harris and Zayn and the Drag Me Down music video! On this episode– - Zayn and Calvin Harris had a bit of a disagreement over music streaming services and since it’s the modern age, the whole thing happened in public and we all got to witness it. Technology is weird. - Liam, seemingly accidentally, made a heteronormative comment on stage the other night. We talk about it. - The boys are headlining the Apple Music Festival and the livestream is free! So much good packed in one tiny sentence. - The #NiallGetASnapchat campaign that’s going on currently in the twittersphere is a worthwhile one to get behind. Imagine the selfies he’d share! One Direction didn’t win Choice Selfie Takers at the TCA’s for nothing. - The Sun posted an article about the boys taking a (well-deserved) break next year. We discuss how it’s a bit sad but definitely necessary. - The Drag Me Down music video was released! Here’s a link to the video if you haven’t seen it yet! We talk about their outfits, the crouch-and-run thing the boys’ seem to love, and how we wish aliens would have been featured. #ROBOTALMIGHTY - We do another round of “1D as…” This time we’re thinking up what the boys would be as things found in the kitchen as well as which social media platforms they’d be. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Please write in for our fandom episode! Feel free to write in about anything– friends you’ve made, fan fiction, fan art, fan projects, favorite fandom inside jokes, etc!

This week we’re talking all about the boy’s fashion choices -- from ankle-baring pants, to dad shirts, to modern-day Prince Eric looks, to everything in between! #HarryBringBackTheYellowShorts (Also please note that we love these boys with a passion of ten thousand fiery suns and all the comments we make come from a place of love! Fashion is a very personal thing and we are always 100% for anyone wearing what they want to wear.) On this episode– - We ask if any of our listeners happen to be selling or know someone who’s selling tickets to the Boston show because we’re a bit desperate, friends. - One Direction won a ton of awards at the Teen Choice Awards! They even went down in history for one of them -- thanks to the awesome fandom! - The charity event Louis hosted happened on August 10th and he was great prince to all the kids (even if he sadly did not dress like Prince Charming). - Zayn dyed his hair gray, tweeted a shirtless puppy selfie, and retweeted a not-so-subtle diss at his ex-fiancée, Perrie Edwards... We talk about it all. - Our main discussion this week is all about the boys’ style in the Midnight Memories/ FOUR era. (Thank you to tumblr user Orharry for the request!) - We talk about our favorite casual look, red carpet look, their most interesting fashion choice, what clothing item we’d steal from them, and what we’d like to see them wear in the future. - Big thank you to dresslike-1d.tumblr.com for being an invaluable resource for this episode!

On this week’s episode we discuss our second hand embarrassment from recent interviews, the great Rolling Stone article that recently came out, and how One Direction fans can never sleep. Ever. (By the way— we’re still recording over Skype and even though you won’t be able to tell, the connection was preeeeetty bad so if it seems like we’re ignoring each other just know we’re not! We probably just couldn’t hear the other one well enough to respond.) On this episode– - The boys performed on Good Morning America! We talk about how they sounded and what they wore (Niall with the fringed plaid shirt! What a look. We love it.) - They did quite a few interviews that day and we talk about the Good Morning America one, The View one, and the Nightline one. (The View one was hard to watch but we powered through and we’re stronger for it, we think.) - We also talk about what’s going down in Zayn’s world from ending his engagement with Perrie Edwards, his new tattoo, and his newfound love for twitter. - We talk about what happened on August 7th in 1D history, which is really just an excuse to talk about these pictures of Harry after a jog with a dog. (thank you to thisdayin1dhistory.tumblr.com!) - Our main discussion this week is an in-depth discussion about the Rolling Stone article ‘16 Reasons One Direction Are on Top of the Stadium Rock Game.’ It’s probably one of our favorite 1D articles of all time. - Again, thank you so much for the kind feedback, it always makes our day! QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Have you seen the boys live – if so, what was your experience like? If not– what has been your favorite moment from the concerts you’ve seen in videos or gifs?

After being reunited for one glorious episode, we’re separated again— this time by a hefty 3401 miles. But it’s for a good reason, Caitlin’s in England! She had to go through hell and high-water and a rude concierge to get wifi but no worries, she got it and we were able to talk about the new single! Thank you Internet for making it possible to talk about One Direction even while we’re on different continents. This week on Talk Direction we discuss Louis becoming a prince (even though he’s already king of our hearts), the whole thing with Zayn tweeting #realmusic, and of course, the surprise new single Drag Me Down! On this episode— - Louis is hosting a Cinderella ball for a charity called ‘Believe in Magic.’ We sincerely hope that he’ll dress up as Prince Charming. - Zayn officially signed on to RCA records and talked about his decision on twitter. The #realmusic hashtag he added to one of his tweets had some fans a bit upset. We have differing opinions on the situation which always makes for an interesting discussion. - In other Zayn News— Zayn is working with Frank Ocean’s producer! We’d love a #Zank collaboration sometime in the future. - We also talk about some racist comments someone made towards Zayn on twitter and how he handled them. - Our main discussion this week is of course about the single that One Direction Beyoncéd and dropped out of nowhere, Drag Me Down! - We tried to cover it all— where we were when we first heard it, our initial reactions, whether we’d like the whole album to be in a similar style, our ideal music video, and Harry’s life-changing giggle at the end. - We also read out some of the feedback we received! It was really exciting to know that people wanted to hear our reactions to the song! - QUESTION OF THE WEEK: - Where were you when you first heard about the single? Please let us know! You can get in touch with us by: // sending us your thoughts in our ask box on talkdirection.tumblr.com // tweeting us at @talk_direction // emailing us at talkdirection@gmail.com Also – feel free to send us any thoughts on things we talked about on the show or topics you’d like to hear us discuss!

We’re finally reunited! We’re super excited that once we’re again able to discuss important issues face to face like the state of the economy, and more importantly, Harry’s white pants. This week we discuss who Zayn’s new music partner seems to be, a startling revelation about Fireproof, and our top five OT5 moments in honor of the fifth anniversary of One Direction becoming a band. In this episode: - Liam/Sophia engagement rumors flew around twitter recently, with Liam himself adding fuel to the fire when he retweeted a tweet including #SophiamIsEngaged. Oh, Liam. - Zayn tweeted pictures from a studio, heavily alluding to the fact that he was working with singer/producer MakeYouKnowLove. - The boys helped to write a children’s book for charity about a half-girl/half-dinosaur going on a wacky adventure. (Their next project should be a live-action movie spinoff of this book. Like a Spice World type deal, but where they’re also half-dino. We’d watch it.) - Liam, Niall and Harry’s action1D’s videos were released! - GREAT things have been happening at the concerts recently! Louis ripped open Liam’s shirt (God bless), Harry squawked at the crowd for not kissing each other, and a fan favorite was added to the setlist! - Our main discussion is a special one in honor of the fifth anniversary of One Direction being formed! We discuss our top five OT5 (OTP = one true pairing/ OT5 = one true… five pairing) moments! Let us know yours! - We answer a few fun questions from twitter.com/1dquestions4u - We introduce what might be –okay, definitely is– our most ridiculous segment yet. Basically, we have categories and we decide what each boy would be in that category. In this episode the categories are fruit and candy but the possibilities are endless for this game – plants, home appliances, Wonders of the World, etc. We’re pumped for what’s in store. - We read out feedback about last week question of the week! Thank you to everyone who wrote in! QUESTION OF THE WEEK: - What is your favorite OT5 moment? (It could be one we mentioned or a completely new one!) Please let us know!

Hello beautiful listeners! We’re super excited to bring you our fifth episode! This week we talk about Niall becoming a zombie, the big Louis story, and 1D’s first two music videos– fall color palettes, emo stares, and all. (Note: This episode was prerecorded on Friday and there have been loads of new things going on since then but don’t fret, we’ll cover them all next week!) In this episode: - Fellow boybander Nick Carter asked Niall via twitter if he’d play his brother in an upcoming zombie movie, Dead 7, created by the same people that brought the cinematic masterpiece that is Sharknado into the world. - The Sun posted an article saying that Zayn would be dropped from Syco, the record label One Direction is on. - On July 14th, People Magazine posted an article saying that Louis was going to soon be a dad. This is a huge story so we do discuss it, but we really tried to be respectful and not speculate since this is a very personal story. - We tried to make our main discussion a light and nostalgic one this week! We delved into the 1D vault and re-watched the videos for What Makes You Beautiful and Gotta Be You and talk all about them. Their baby faces, excessive boyband-y pointing, beach frolicking -- we cover it all, pals. - We introduce a segment we call One Direction movie connection where we say movie titles and challenge the other person to think of a 1D song that encapsulates the film. We may go on a few tangents about classic Disney Channel movies but hey, High School Musical was a masterpiece, there’s no denying it. - We read out the feedback we’ve gotten about our questions of the week! Thank you so much to those of you who have written in! Y’all are amazing. QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: Between the first two 1D music videos-- What Makes You Beautiful and Gotta Be You-- which is your favorite and why? Please let us know!

This week on Talk Direction we’ll be covering what One Direction song ended up in Rolling Stone’s top 25 songs of the year, the Zayn/Naughty Boy twitter drama and what the 1D concert setlist would look like in our ideal universe. (just so you guys know– this was pre-recorded on Saturday so we’ll read out all the answers to our Zayn Question of the Week on the next episode! Don’t think we forgot about you!

We talk about the goals of the program, what we hope comes out of it, and the criticism 1D has faced for their involvement. - Our main discussion was a really fun one for us! We each made our ideal One Direction setlist and compared our answers. We actually didn’t have as much overlap as we thought we would. We’d love to hear what yours would be! (Surprisingly ours wasn’t just No Control 25 times in a row) - Although we recorded this episode on Saturday, we HAD to record an updated segment to talk about the Zaughty twitter drama. - Tweet of the week is back and better than ever (not really, but like, it’s back) This week’s 1D Recommendations– - Caitlin: check out the #1DRoast on twitter - Cara: What Makes You Bootyful Blogilates workout video QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: - What would your perfect 1D setlist look like?

Our third episode is here!

There’s been rumors floating around for a while, the newest one being that he’s going to play Frank Sinatra in an upcoming movie. We’re kind of hoping this is true, so we can see more of the incredible acting skills he demonstrated in the infamous iCarly episode. - Our main discussion this week is all about Zayn’s departure from the band. We attempted to include it all – where we were when we found out, the boys’ reactions, the statements that were made, the ones we wish had been made, the twitter drama between Naughty Boy and Louis, and the two unofficial Zayn tracks that’ve leaked. QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: - What is your favorite Harry Styles outfit or accessory? - Where were you when Zayn left the band?

It’s strange to see Zayn listed separately from the rest of the boys, isn’t it? - Niall and Louis had a little lads’ day out at Glastonbury Music Festival. They were seen watching James Bay’s set. He’s great, we recommend you check him out! - We get a bit of fifth album news! We talk about Liam’s “we finished it in a month” statement as well as the possibility of a summer single! (And maybe a music video? If only it were Best Song Ever Part 2) - In our main discussion we each share our top two favorite tweets from the boys. It’s definitely a bit of a nostalgic chat. - We have a mini discussion where we sort each of the boys into Hogwarts Houses. We know it’s a pretty controversial topic so we’d love to hear what houses they should each be in! - Lastly we discuss Harry’s mysterious thigh tattoo. WHAT IS IT? We have our theories but we want to hear yours, let’s compare notes. QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: - What do you want to see on the new album? Style? Writing? Collaborations? - What Harry Potter Houses should each of the boys be in? - What in God’s name is Harry’s thigh tattoo??? Please let us know!

Hello! We’re super excited to bring you the first episode of Talk Direction, a weekly One Direction podcast! We have big plans for this podcast, friends, BIG PLANS. But for now we’re starting with this episode, where we introduce ourselves, share our 1D origin stories, and discuss what we hope the boys will do in the future, unimaginable, post 1D-world (it’s more positive than it sounds, we promise). A big shout out to Adam over at taylortalk.org for helping us to begin to find our footing in this harsh world of podcasts. He’s a part of a great Taylor Swift podcast called Taylor Talk that you should definitely check out! In this episode: - We share how liking these boys blossomed from a secret shame into a love strong enough to inspire us to record a weekly hour-ish long conversation about them and share it with the internet! - One Direction release a fourth fragrance, ‘Between Us’ and an incredible accompanying commercial. - Zayn made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week! We talk about his outfits, his new hair, and his collaboration with Kanye (jokes… but we’re sure it’s happening somewhere in a better alternate universe) - Zayn’s getting the matching tattoo he has with Louis removed! …or not? - We discuss Harry wearing nail polish for a good cause. You can donate Safe Horizon – an organization that helps more than 250,000 children, adults, and families affected by domestic violence each year. - Our main discussion this week revolves around The Sun article that states the boys are to go on a break next year after promoting their fifth album. We talk about what we hope to see from each of the boys post-1D. - Direction Connection: we introduce a segment where we challenge each other to somehow make a connection from a random word to the band. Some of our connections are maybe a biiiiiit of a stretch but it’s harder than it sounds! QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: - God forbid One Direction breaks up, what would you like to see the boys do in the future? - How do you feel about Zayn’s hair? What color would you like to see him try next? - How and when did you get into One Direction? Please let us know, we’d love to hear from you!
