The Unhinged Movie Plot Twists Em & Laura Never Saw Coming

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 04:30:00 +0000

Off the back of the internet’s collective obsession with the plot twist in Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s new movie The Drama, it got us thinking: when did movies stop playing by the rules?

In this special Friday roundup, Laura and Em dissect the movies that lured us in with the promise of a stock standard story, only to hit us with a reveal that had absolutely no right to be there. From the rom-com reveal that everyone in the cinema was gasping at to the one ending so notorious it still makes people’s faces darken with rage, we’re covering it all.

Weekend Watch: A Gripping New Chapter In The Handmaid's Tale & A Sun-Drenched Rom-Com Escape

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:00:00 +0000

If your idea of a perfect weekend involves an Aperol Spritz and a sun-drenched Italian villa, we have a spot-on recco of the film that gives strong Eat Pray Love vibes. From Rege-Jean Page’s posh accents to the whimsical vineyard frolicking, learn why this cheesy rom-com is exactly what the world needs right now.

We’re also talking about the return of a series that asks: What if the world’s biggest superheroes were actually the villains?. With the final season officially underway, we discuss the ‘bloody’ stakes for a show that we need more girls to watch.

Finally, we return to a familiar dystopian world for a new chapter set 15 years after we last saw June. This sequel focuses on the next generation navigating a chilling regime, and we reveal why this version of the story feels surprisingly more like an "action-adventure" than the original nightmare.

Listen to Laura's chaotic story of interviewing Regé-Jean Page and Halle Bailey here.

Does The MAFS Finale Prove You Can Actually Find Love On Reality TV?

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 04:15:00 +0000

On the show today, we’re breaking down the two-part finale of Married at First Sight Australia, and even if you think you’ve seen it all, you are going to want to hear about the secret footage that didn’t make the final edit.

This week we saw the rise of the "out-victim the victim" strategy and a dinner party that felt more like a scripted movie than reality, and we need to talk about the fallout from Gia and Scott’s explosive exit.

Plus, the aftermath of the final vows was brutal, with one groom delivering a mic-drop line that left us cheering and his bride flailing. We need to explain why Bec’s "delulu" behaviour in the forest had us screaming at the screen and what "cross-pollination" means for the upcoming reunion.

A Deep Dive into Bridget Jones 25 Years On & Lisa Kudrow Says We Should Still Be Watching Friends

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:04:45 +0000

Lisa Kudrow has spent decades being one of the most famous faces on TV, but she recently spilled that there was a time when “nobody cared” about her career. We’re loving her refreshing attitude while on her current press tour, and we round-up her fresh take on why sitcoms have become too safe, and the intentional way she used to rage-bait her most famous co-star.

And an iconic duo has finally reunited for a high-powered magazine cover that addresses a long-standing cinematic rumour. We dive into the unexpected hobbies that keep these two powerhouses grounded, their thoughts on the workplace juggle and why being ‘method’ can cause tension on your favourite movie set.

Plus as the 25th anniversary of Bridget Jones’s Diary approaches, we’re looking back at the film that redefined the modern rom-com lead. We remember the best behind-the-scenes facts and unpack why Bridget’s "messy" authenticity remains so beloved today.

What It’s Actually Like To Be A Reality Star (From An Insider) & Zendaya’s Massive Update

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:12:21 +0000

The final trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has dropped (excited!) and we break down every juicy detail, like which celeb cameos we’re expecting and whether Andy will finally turn on Miranda Priestly with a definitive exposé.

Plus we’re loving the reveal about how many babies have come from Survivor US crew members finding love behind the scenes of the show. Lucky we have our own reality TV expert Tina Provis to answer the most asked questions she gets - like whether contestants are actually "manipulated" by producers and what really happens during those mysterious "dark days" when the cameras stop rolling (intense!).

And with Euphoria season 3 back on Monday, we cover everything you need to know before it starts, like the off-screen friction between Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney and how social media "thirst traps" may be fuelling one of Hollywood's most speculated feuds.

If you like Euphoria, you'll love Mamamia's new Euphoria podcast! Here are links to our first podcast ep that you need to listen to before you watch Season 3 on Apple and Spotify.

Australia’s Petition Against Meghan Markle & The Drama Behind Zendaya’s New Movie

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 03:34:26 +0000

Taylor Swift made her first big publicity appearance since the release of The Life of A Showgirl, and everything from her outfit, to her speech, and the way she acted around Travis Kelce is being dissected.

Plus, a petition has been launched regarding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s upcoming visit to Australia. Now the royal couple has responded, and reading between the lines of their response, they are quite unhappy about the whole thing.

And the all-encompassing press tour for Robert Pattinson and Zendaya’s new movie The Drama is coming to an end with the movie’s release this week, but now some real-life drama has bubbled up behind the scenes.

The Problematic Movie Romances We Secretly Love

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:34:34 +0000

We’ve spent the week spiralling over the Suddenly 30 reboot, and it’s led us down a rabbit hole of our favourite romcoms with problematic premises, that we love wholeheartedly nonetheless. It turns out "romance" in the 90s and early 2000s was often just a crime set to a peppy soundtrack, and we're here to admit it.

We're unpacking the supposed romantic "grand gestures" and breaking down the gap between what we want in real life and what we find "hot" on film, from the sex work of Pretty Woman to to why the teacher-student plot in Never Been Kissed still stops us in our tracks.

Plus, we have thoughts on the 2026 "Whimsy Drought." We’re unpacking why modern movies feel too polished and why we’re self-medicating with the messy, high-stakes lying of movies like How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. It’s a deep dive into the absolute classics that might just save you from a boring weekend.

Weekend Watch: A Horror From The Makers Of Stranger Things & Your Childhood Favourite Comes To Life

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Today we’re diving headfirst into the fantasy epic based on Enid Blyton's classic series, delivering magical worlds, a massive enchanted tree, and the kind of spectacle that makes you wish your living room was a cinema. While some of the modernised elements split us down the middle, the visual world-building is exactly what we dreamed of as kids.

And Em has a review of the new slasher film that’s currently tearing up the cinema. With a Harry Potter fave taking on a wild new role and a plot full of gory surprises, we break down whether this hotel horror delivers or if it's just too bloody for its own good. Is it actually scary? Did Em spend the whole time covering her eyes? And why is this the perfect group cinema experience.

Plus, we’ve started the new horror series from the Duffer Brothers - and it’s moodier, more claustrophobic, and far more unsettling than you’d think. It's a high-stakes wedding mystery that is so bingeable you’ll be up until 2am like Laura trying to figure out the twist. Three very different vibes. One very stacked weekend.

The One Comment That Made Us Turn On This MAFS Man

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 03:30:00 +0000

We’re nearing the end of Married At First Sight and a week of home visits have caused fresh drama for these fake married couples.

From a pillow that could have exposed a cheating scandal, to a fishing trip we found oddly romantic and the most awkward car ride and break-up we’ve ever witnessed, it’s time to unpack all the drama and (unintentionally) hilarious moments from this week.

Then it’s on to the dinner party, and boy, is there one doozy of a fight that we need to discuss that highlights one of the biggest issues with dating straight men in 2026.

Miley Cyrus’ Family Is Back In The Headlines & A Warning For Jennifer Garner

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 03:30:00 +0000

In huge news for Bridgerton fans (which is most of us) it has been confirmed that the lead for the upcoming season will be Francesca. Some people are not happy with this news, but now we need to talk about why the stakes for this series have never been higher.

And we never thought we’d say this, but we have some beef with Jennifer Garner. It has been confirmed that a Suddenly 30 reboot is on the way, and the star of the original, Garner, is involved behind the scenes. Now it’s time to ask, how could she do this to us? Is this new cast up to the task? And why can’t anyone make a good rom-com anymore?

Plus, The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special has aired, and Miley Cyrus fans have been given a huge dose of nostalgia and some brand new gossip. From Miely’s headline-making family taking part to what happened behind the scenes, here’s everything to know about the special.

Meghan Markle’s Australian Visit Is Already Cursed & Timothée Chalamet Loses His Biggest Fan

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 03:54:43 +0000

On the show today, the cast for Netflix’s upcoming live action Scooby-Doo series have been announced and the franchise’s biggest fan Em Vernem has some thoughts. Plus, Meghan Markle will soon be paying a visit to Australia and while many people are thrilled about this (including us) it appears there is already a curse over her visit and the headlines chronicling her stay have already been written. And young Timothee Chalamet took a bit of a hit during Oscar’s season with the backlash to his interviews and campaign strategy, but we believed he would be ok. Until his most famous fan also turned against him.

New Comfort Watches & What Really Happened When Laura Met Kurt Russell And Michelle Pfeiffer

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 03:30:00 +0000

On the show today, Laura is back from a whirlwind trip to New York City for the premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s massive new series, The Madison. We have the exclusive debrief on what it’s like to interview Hollywood royalty like Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, including the awkward moment Laura had to explain her "origin story" to Kurt (let’s just say he has some... interesting thoughts on the Gold Coast).

Plus, we’re diving into why the show is basically a more dramatic, high-stakes Schitt's Creek and how the cinematography makes the Madison River Valley feel like a living, breathing character. Laura also reveals a mind-blowing behind-the-scenes secret about those epic Michelle and Kurt love scenes and we break down the editing magic that stopped us in our tracks.

And, we need to debrief our absolute favourite sub-genre: the high-society "Fish Out of Water." From the rich girls forced to milk cows to the high-powered consultants accidentally falling for the local union leader, we are obsessed with a city mouse in a country house. We’re deep-diving into the movie gems that prove moving to a small town is the ultimate cure for a bratty attitude.

See more of Laura's dress debacle in New York here.

The One MAFS Couple We Need To Call Out & Timothée Chalamet's Comeback

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 03:30:00 +0000

It’s that glorious time of the week… yes, we’re back in the Married At First Sight trenches.

Today, we’re unpacking the text message scandal that refuses to die, the dinner party confrontation that changed everything, and the couple we were all rooting for who may have just completely fallen apart. Plus, we get into the relationship that feels more fake by the minute — and why one cast member might have finally gone too far.

But first, there’s a brand new trailer for one of the biggest movie franchises in the world, which leads us into a very important chat about Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and why being a Hollywood golden boy can survive almost anything.

A Warning For The Beckham Family & Why The Buffy Reboot Was Really Cancelled

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 04:04:57 +0000

ARN Media has released a statement saying they have terminated his contract following an on-air argument with his co-host Jackie O. Now Kyle has released his own strongly worded statement, and we have to unpack what happened over the last few days that led to this moment.

Plus, Laura is absolutely reeling over the cancelation of the Buffy reboot. After four years of development, the pilot has been axed, and the way Sarah Michelle Gellar found out has stopped us in our tracks. We debrief on the "toxic" executive who reportedly bragged about never seeing the original show and why this was a catastrophic business move.

And, is Harper Beckham the next Kylie Jenner? At just 14, the youngest Beckham is reportedly launching "Haiku," a beauty line inspired by South Korean skincare. We look at the trademark paper trail and why the choice of name is already raising red flags for the family.

The Oscars Scandal We Need To Discuss & The Win That Destroyed Us

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 04:07:25 +0000

On the show today... we are officially shells of human beings. The 2026 Oscars finally happened, and between the historic wins and the high-stakes snubs, we are going through it. We need to debrief why the "two-movie race" between Sinners and One Battle After Another left us with a major adrenaline headache.

Plus, we are crumbling over Michael B. Jordan’s Best Actor win. It felt like our team won the Super Bowl, and we have thoughts on his emotional speech (and Timothée Chalamet’s very polite "loser" face). We’re breaking down the history-making cinematography win that stopped us in our tracks and why the Academy is finally, slowly, getting over its fear of horror movies.

And, the weirdest moments that have us obsessed: Why was Sean Penn a total no-show? What was with the awkward Zendaya and Rob Pattinson presentation? And we need to discuss "Oscars Leo"—because Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't looked this good since the 90s and we have theories.

Laura And Em Rank The Best & Worst Looks From The Oscars Red Carpet

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 04:29:04 +0000

The Oscars red carpet is always a spectacle, but this year had a few moments that truly stole the show. From Chloe Zhao’s stunning, gothic black gown to Wunmei Musaka glowing in sequins, and Elle Fanning in her first-ever nomination dress, we’re breaking down the looks that had us swooning—and the ones that left us wishing for more colour and drama.

We also get caught up in some unforgettable red carpet chaos: a hilariously awkward moment with Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams, plus the real nerves, excitement, and insider moments that come with award season behind the scenes.

Tune in for all the fashion highs, the funniest red carpet moments, and our very human reactions to one of the year’s biggest nights in Hollywood.

And you can find all the looks we spoke about right here.

The 5 Oscar Nominated Movies Actually Worth Your Time

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 03:30:00 +0000

The Oscars race is more chaotic than ever this year… which means there are a lot of movies people are telling you to watch. But which ones are actually worth the time (and the price of a cinema ticket)?

Laura and Em are giving their brutally honest reviews of some of the biggest films in this year’s Best Picture race — separating the genuinely great from the ones that might only impress the film bros.

There’s the blockbuster spectacle Em loved that Laura still can’t believe made it into the Oscars, a devastating drama that left an entire cinema quietly sobbing, and a bizarre twist-filled film the girls almost can’t discuss without ruining it.

Plus, the wild sports movie everyone’s suddenly obsessed with, a comeback performance that could steal the night, and the one film both hosts agree we’ll probably still be talking about long after the Oscars are over.

Weekend Watch: A Unique New Dating Show & Colleen Hoover's Latest Adaptation

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 19:00:00 +0000

We have it all in this edition of Weekend Watch. First, a dinosaur doco narrated by Morgan Freeman that’s equal parts thrilling and educational.

Then, a reality dating show exploring age-gap romance like you’ve never seen it before, with 40 singles hiding their ages, commitment rings, and plenty of awkward, heartwarming moments.

Plus, an action-packed, team-based military movie where elite rangers take on a mysterious killer machine — explosions, guns, and just a touch of supernatural chaos make it impossible to look away.

And finally, a new Colleen Hoover adaptation brings her signature emotional twists and on-screen chemistry to life — perfect for anyone who loves romance, drama, and the moments that make you ugly-cry. Four very different vibes. One very stacked weekend.

Here are the bloopers from Em's Dinosaur doco that she thinks are hilarious.

The MAFS Sex Reveal Absolutely No One Asked For (But We Can't Look Away)

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 03:30:00 +0000

First up, Ed Sheeran joined Benny Blanco on his podcast for a brutally honest conversation about being “normal looking guys” in an industry full of heart-throbs.

Then… we need to talk about MAFS. This week’s couples retreat was meant to be romantic, but instead delivered one of the most chaotic storylines of the entire season. From explosive fights and shifting alliances to a very awkward intimacy revelation that dominated multiple episodes, we’re unpacking the moment everyone’s talking about — and why the fallout has completely split the group.

Plus, we unpack the couple who finally left the experiment (and why viewers were relieved), the “I love you” moment that didn’t quite land and the shocking teaser that suggests next week could expose secret messages between the brides.

On the show today, we are debriefing on the teen stars who are finally taking back their narratives. First, Hilary Duff is in her "comeback era," but it’s the human behind the headlines that has us talking. She’s opened up on her years-long estrangement from not only sister Haylie but also her ‘unloved’ relationship with her parents.

Plus, Cody Simpson has sat down for a marathon confessional to air his dating laundry. He has opened up on his year-long romance with a Kardashian to his candid reflections on being Miley Cyrus’ "lockdown relationship". Plus we learn the ‘trick’ he used to land his first date with Gigi Hadid.

And we’re getting emotional over the first trailer for Miley Cyrus’s 20th anniversary special. We discuss her return to the iconic blonde wig, the rebuilt Stewart family living room, and the peace offering to her father, Billy Ray, that has fans in their feels.

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 03:30:00 +0000

On the show today, Nicola Coughlan has told why she’s done being the internet’s poster child for a cause she never asked for. We unpack the one specific word she’s banning from her press tours and the "mortifying" fan encounters that pushed her to the edge.
Plus, Daryl Hannah has broken her silence in a rare (and scathing) essay for The New York Times, taking aim at Ryan Murphy’s latest biopic, Love Story. She’s setting the record straight on a "grotesque" portrayal and the cocaine-fueled scenes she claims are total fiction. We debate if the show has gone too far and why Daryl is calling it a "tragedy-exploiting" mess.
And finally, we’re checking in on the Beckham family rift after Brooklyn’s 27th birthday. Is a "no-win" social media post making things worse? Plus, the new skin-crawling series starring Nicola Peltz Beckham that everyone is talking about.

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:36:56 +0000

On the show today, has the Timothée era officially come to a screeching halt? A clip of his dissing ballet and opera has the arts world in a spin, and Bree has the direct tea from the Australian Opera group chats. We unpack his "gaslighting" rebrand from a sensitive artsy kid into a "film bro" who thinks he’s above the genres that made him famous.

Plus, Harry Styles’ "Kissco" era has officially arrived, but the rollout is unlike anything we’ve seen before. We go inside the high-security briefing for his new album to break down the sonically different sound. We also discuss his bizarre choice to ditch traditional music PR for covers of Runner’s World and Better Homes and Gardens, and why he’s prioritizing live "moments" over beating Taylor Swift’s chart records. Read Bree's incredible review of Harry Style's new album here

And with the Oscar race entering its final week, we look at the new "no-skipping" rules for Academy voters and the bizarre "cat-themed cancellation" of Jessie Buckley that nearly derailed her campaign.

First, the monster movie that’s split critics right down the middle. It’s brutal, strangely beautiful and far more emotional than you expect — with performances that will absolutely give you something to argue about in the group chat.

Then, season two of a series that chronicles the re emergence of Godzilla is finally here, delivering bigger battles, sharper character drama and the kind of spectacle that makes you wish your TV was the size of a cinema screen.

Plus, we’ve started the new origin story about a very famous teenage detective — and it’s moodier, darker and far more dramatic than you’d think. Three very different vibes. One very stacked weekend.

What The Hell Is Going On With The MAFS Women?

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 03:45:00 +0000

The original Scary Movie cast is officially back, and we’re unpacking why this reboot is the elder millennial nostalgia hit we didn't know we needed. From Anna Faris and Regina Hall returning to their iconic roles to the Wayans brothers reclaiming the franchise, we break down the "past my prime" narrative that previously sidelined these stars.

Then, we have to talk about Married At First Sight Australia. Between a resurfaced video of Joel drumming with sex toys and the "vicious" dinner party showdown over his childhood teddy bear, the experiment has reached a whole new level of chaos. We’re debating whether Juliet’s reaction was a proportionate response or a total overreaction, and why the "Bear-gate" debate is currently taking over every group chat in the country.

Is it a sign of a “quirky star" trying too hard, or are we just witnessing the most bizarre deal-breaker in reality TV history?

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 03:47:04 +0000

On the show today, are Zendaya and Tom Holland officially married? While they are famously private, an "accidental" confirmation and a very telling Instagram post from Zendaya's mum has the internet convinced the wedding already happened. We discuss why they might have slipped the ceremony in before 2026 kicks off.

Plus, Justin Timberlake is in a legal battle to block the release of 8 hours of body cam footage from his 2024 DUI arrest. Does he have a case, or is this just another example of a rich star trying to protect his image?

And we unpack the massive shift in the Australian media landscape following the official statement from ARN regarding the Kyle and Jackie O Show.

Charli XCX’s New Movie Has A Message For Taylor Swift & A Very Emotional Awards Show

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 03:46:47 +0000

On the show today, the SAG Awards have officially shaken up the Oscar race. We discuss why Michael B. Jordan deserves Academy Award, Timothy Chalamet’s "pang of fear," and whose acceptance speech was a 10/10 moment.

Also we’re taking you inside the premiere of Charli XCX’s The Moment. We talk about whether its a deep commentary on pop stardom or just a high-concept middle finger to the music doco genre. Plus, we analyse Kylie Jenner’s surprising acting debut in the film and whether Charli XCX is about to become a bona fide movie star with five more projects on the way.

Finally, we get into the weeds of the Charli and Taylor Swift "beef" and why the internet is calling this a very un-subtle aim at the Eras Tour.

These TV Shows Have The Best Secret Romances

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 03:30:00 +0000

On today’s show, we’re fresh off the latest wave of period-drama longing and scandal, which got us thinking… what are the greatest secret love stories TV has ever given us?

We’re talking about the couples who had to hide everything. The forbidden romances. The relationships conducted in shadowy corners, behind closed doors, and across enemy lines.

From the most controversial teacher-student storyline of the 2010s (yes, we’re going there), to a superhero slow burn where one very specific piece of jewellery kept two people apart for years… we unpack the romances that thrived on secrecy.

Enemies to lovers. Illicit affairs. Hidden identities. Fake suburban bliss. Nothing bonds a couple quite like having absolutely everything to lose.

Plus, Mon desperately wants you to listen to our Brutally Honest Review of Twilight here.

Weekend Watch: The Horror Movie We’ve Been Dying To See And Bridgerton Is Back

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Today we’re diving headfirst into the second drop of a show the whole world has been talking about — and yes, we need to talk about that cliffhanger.

Then, we're dissecting a heartfelt medical show reboot that's been decades in the making. The best part? The cast are still besties off-screen, as well as on set.

Then, it’s time for the horror sequel that’s had 30 years of build-up. With an iconic final girl returning and a fandom obsessed with ghost masks, we break down whether this comeback delivers — or leans a little too hard on fan service. Is it actually scary? Did we guess the killer? And why does this franchise still have such a chokehold on us?

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 03:58:26 +0000

It has been confirmed that Lily Collins will play Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming movie, and there are questions about how the casting process worked. The twist is that she’s making the film herself, and when you look at her past career choices, there is a bigger conversation to have here.

And Hilary Duff has finally responded to Ashley Tisdale’s viral essay about her ‘toxic mum group,’ and when you decipher her response, it’s the most scathing thing she could have said.

Plus, it’s time to delve into the latest week of Married At First Sight Australia, because three new couples joined the experiment this week, with one man leaving us cringing and the other leaving us terrified.

The Real Fallout For Tyra Banks Following The Next Top Model Netflix Doco

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:05:43 +0000

One of our hosts had a panic attack this morning when the first teaser trailer for Netflix's upcoming adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice dropped. Here’s everything you need to know.

Plus, the documentary Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model dropped last week and quickly became one of the most talked-about shows in the world. Now the judges and contestants featured in the doco have given follow-up interviews about what happened behind the scenes while filming this tell-all, and it’s not looking good for Tyra Banks. From the reason why she was never supposed to appear in the documentary to what her fellow judges are saying about her now, the controversy around this show is far from over.

And Australia’s most famous radio duo have been in the headlines this week thanks to a very vulnerable on-air disagreement. Here’s why we are sure this is not a publicity stunt.

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 03:58:09 +0000

The leading lady for the upcoming movie Beach Read, based on the novel of the same name by Emily Henry, has been confirmed, and it’s what fans have been dreaming of. Now we’ve got a lead on which actor will be starring opposite her, and you might not like our findings.

And on paper Timothée Chalamet and Matthew McConaughey might not seem like the same person but they absolutely are. The two actors did a joint and very rogue interview this week, and we need to unpack all the reveals, including one that scarred us for life.

Plus, Hilary Duff has embarked on an extensive press tour to promote her album and upcoming tour, and she’s uttered a few sentences we never expected her to say. From family drama to insecurities about her marriage and the viral Ashley Tisdale essay about their mum group, there’s a reason why she’s choosing to speak on these subjects at this particular moment.

The Hate Against Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard Has Intensified & An Awards Season Surprise

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:06:16 +0000

The BAFTAs have shaken up awards season… and the internet has turned on one of Hollywood’s most “relatable” couples.

On today’s show, we’re breaking down everything that went down at the BAFTA Awards — from the surprisingly safe red carpet to the wins that have completely blown open the Oscar race. One Best Actor upset has left Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio’s awards hopes looking a little less certain.Plus, the film dominating the night might just be the one that defines this year in cinema.

Then, we need to talk about Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. A viral essay dissecting their marriage — and the idea of being “hated by your husband” — has reignited long-simmering criticism of the couple. Their celebrity friends have rushed to defend them, but is this backlash actually about something bigger? We have thoughts.

A Brutally Honest Review Of Wuthering Heights

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 03:40:16 +0000

We’re diving headfirst into Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights — a movie that’s as stylish and visually wild as it is divisive. And yes, our hosts have thoughts… plenty of them.

We unpack the twisted romance of Cathy and Heathcliff, Emerald’s bold (and sometimes baffling) costume choices, and the way the movie navigates sex, consent, and obsession. Plus, we discuss how some characters get a total makeover from the book — and how that changes the story entirely.

From moments that made us gasp, to scenes that left us questioning “what did I just watch?” — we cover it all. Strap in for our brutally honest review of the movie that dares to turn a classic gothic tale into a TikTok-ready romance.

Weekend Watch: An Erotic Mystery & The Series That'll Make You Call Your Bestie

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Time to dive into a mix of toxic romances, grocery store mysteries, and the ultimate tribute to lifelong female friendship.

First, we’re checking in on the Tell Me Lies fandom, which is currently "going through it" after its shock cancellation. With all three seasons now available on Disney+, we discuss why this collegiate drama is the perfect, albeit triggering, binge for anyone who loves a messy, narcissistic romance.

Then, things get steamy and suspicious with a new erotic mystery thriller on Amazon Prime. Based on a best-selling novel, this eight-episode series follows a couple who meet at a supermarket (suspicious!) and stars Dove Cameron and Avan Jogier. It’s the perfect blend of grizzly murder and high-intensity chemistry.

Finally, we head to Northern Ireland for the new caper from the creator of Derry Girls. It’s a hilarious, fast-paced love letter to millennials that will make you want to call your mates immediately.

Plus, a little PSA: Our Brutally Honest Review of Wuthering Heights is dropping in the feed this afternoon at 3pm.

Plus get a sneak peek on what you’ll soon be bingeing, from a new Heartbreak High to a Willy Wonka reality series.

Then, we dive deep into the MAFS dinner party from hell. After a week of forced intimacy, the cracks are wider than ever. We discuss the cringey "Love Actually" moment that went wrong for Rachel and Steven, and why Steve (the silver fox) has officially become the most hated man on the show after his condescending treatment of Rebecca.

Plus, a massive bomb has dropped in the Married at First Sight world, with bride Brook officially confirming her pregnancy and engagement to her ex while she’s still appearing on our screens in the experiment. We unpack the messy timeline, whether she was "fake" the whole time, and Tina Provis shares her own behind-the-scenes secrets from life after Love Island (including how long you actually have to hide from the paparazzi after winning a show).

7 Galentine’s Movies That Will Stop You Texting Your Ex

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 03:45:00 +0000

We’ve put together the ultimate Galentine’s movie list designed to do one very important thing: stop you from spiralling into your notes app and texting someone who absolutely does not deserve access to you anymore.

From comforting rom-com classics to surprisingly emotional slow burns, laugh-out-loud comedies and even a few “why did you pick this?” wildcards, Laura and Mon interpret the brief in wildly different ways — resulting in a list that swings between empowering, unhinged and deeply confusing (in the best way).

Plus… a few truly rogue entries. Including the film Laura says made her never want to speak to another human again.

From romance to comedy, and even a kids’ movie moment nobody saw coming — this list is chaotic, cathartic, and might just be the thing that saves you from reopening that old thread.

Weekend Watch: A Dark Suburban Mystery & A Scandalous Celebrity Romance

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

This weekend, we’ve got two brand-new releases that are already making waves — and one must-know movie drop you won’t want to miss.

First up, a dark suburban comedy about a young couple moving out to the suburbs for a quiet life... only to discover that the street, the house across the road, and the new neighbour are all seriously unsettling. It’s funny, creepy, and packed with twists — plus, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo to spot.

Then, we’re diving into the latest Ryan Murphy series, which chronicles one of the most iconic love stories of the ’90s. Think glamour, media frenzy, heartbreak, and all the drama that played out in the public eye. It’s messy, fascinating, and completely binge-worthy.

Plus, a little PSA: Wuthering Heights hits cinemas this weekend — and don’t worry, we’ve got a brutally honest review coming next week.

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 04:01:33 +0000

James Van Der Beek has sadly passed away at the age of 48, and many people are mourning the loss of an actor and a series that shaped their young adult lives. So now it’s time to talk about his real-life romance that the world became obsessed with, his greatest role that nobody ever talks about, and how his co-stars are remembering him.

Plus, we’re in the second week of Married At First Sight Australia, and the honeymoon is well and truly over for most of our couples. Now we have some burning questions to answer, like is the hatred against one of the women really justified, or is it all just a setup for the show? And why do all these men look so alike? Something strange is going on here.

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 03:30:50 +0000

On the show today, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are taking the Wuthering Heights press tour global, but one $12 million diamond necklace has sparked a massive historical backlash.

And, Tina has her notebook ready because we are decoding Opalite. Taylor's new music video is here, and it’s basically a giant "I’m actually very likable" campaign. We explain the secret meaning behind the pet rock, the "trash" metaphors for Kim Kardashian, and the "resting Cillian face" that launched a thousand memes.

A Scandalous Update From A Beckham Family Insider & The Grammys Look That Terrified Us

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 03:49:45 +0000

Legendary actress Catherine O'Hara has sadly passed away at the age of 71, so now we need to talk about her legacy and the significance of the stories her co-stars are telling about her.

And the Beckham family drama continues this week, with one of Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriends giving a tell-all interview and another being barred from speaking to the press. Plus, a member of another famous family has weighed in on Nicola’s intentions, and it’s all getting even messier than we could have predicted.

Plus, the Grammy Awards red carpet just took place, and holy moley do we have (some potentially controversial) opinions on what everyone chose to wear. From the good, the bad, and the downright dangerous red carpet looks that were on display, we’re here to bring you some unfiltered red carpet commentary.

A Brutally Honest Review Of High School Musical As It Turns 20

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 04:23:34 +0000

We’re heading straight down nostalgia lane because High School Musical is officially 20, and yes, it still rules. And you can bet, Emily's ready to walk Laura through the movie that basically made her who she is today.

We unpack our favourite characters, call out the ones who might be a little too “pick me” in hindsight, and relive out the musical numbers we’ve been singing (hell, maybe belting) for two decades.

Plus, some hard truths: what High School Musical actually teaches us about life, love… how to juggle basketball AND a musical theatre career. Spoiler: the franchise might be deeper than you remember.

Weekend Watch: The New Bridgerton Season Is Here & A Horror Movie Em Actually Likes

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Dear gentle reader, Bridgerton has returned. We have your first look at season 4 of the much loved Netflix drama. With all the delicious Regency era language (we are petitioning for "rake" to be the word of 2026) and a hot new leading man (without mutton chops). Loosen your corsets, this is going to be steamy.

Plus, Em recommends a horror movie?! Our resident scaredy cat loved this latest cinematic release starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. A little bit Survivor, a little bit slasher it might be the perfect first date movie.

Need a refresher before watching Bridgerton Season 4? Listen to our all new Bridgerton podcast on Spotify and Apple.

Victoria Beckham’s Calculated Move Against Brooklyn Beckham & A Tyra Banks Confession

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 03:31:00 +0000

On the show today, Netflix is gifting us with a tell-all America’s Next Top Model documentary, and it includes a surprising confession from Tyra Banks. But why is she choosing to speak now? We have an answer.

Plus, the Oscar nominations have been revealed, and we have some deep (and potentially controversial) opinions. From the A-List actress who campaigned her way into a nomination, from the most surprising nominees, and why Wicked was left out, here’s everything you need to know.

And Victoria Beckham is having a very public-facing week, the first time we’ve seen her since the scandalous allegations made by her son, Brooklyn. Victoria has made a calculated move against her son’s allegations, and he has released a video to cement his claims, so now we need to dissect it all.

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 20:00:00 +0000

Spillers, we've got a special treat for your Sunday listening, from our sister podcast Watch Party - which you can find now on Spotify and Apple.

We are officially in our "professional yearning" era. Bridgerton is almost back and in this episode, our superfans go beyond the trailer to discuss the massive production secrets, the showrunner swap, and why this season is being called the "steamiest" yet.

You'll learn more about:

Production Deep Dive: We break down the 8-month shoot, explain why the show is moving from pastel springs to a "classic rock" autumn aesthetic, and reveal what to look out for when Season 4 Part 1 drops.
The Cast Shake-Up: Who is back (and who isn't), the "curated" chemistry of the press tour, and the fan theory about a potential queer romance for a surprising character.
Fan Theories & The "Beyond": who will we see more of? Will someone die?! And will we really see a Kanthony comeback?

It’s your essential briefing on the scandals, the cast changes, and the romance before the carriage arrives for Season 4.

If you love this episode, make sure you’re following the Watch Party feed! We’ll be dropping new breakdowns when Part 1 drops on Thursday 29 January and again for Part 2 in February.

A Brutally Honest Review Of People We Meet On Vacation

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 03:57:39 +0000

The book-turned-Netflix rom-com that has the internet in a chokehold… it’s time for our brutally honest review of People We Meet On Vacation.

We’re unpacking Emily Henry's beloved novel and putting it head-to-head with its Netflix adaptation — from what translated beautifully on screen to what absolutely did not. We get into the cast, the chemistry (or lack thereof), and Emily’s very strong gripe with main character Poppy (… can someone say Pick Me?).

Plus we're breaking down the one scene that never should’ve made it into the film, and another that's we’re genuinely devastated was left on the cutting room floor...things get so heated at one point that Emily nearly walks out of the room. Honestly, we almost lost a host today.

If you’ve read the book, watched the movie, or are just here for the mess — this one’s for you.

The Text Message That Could End Taylor Swift & Blake Lively’s Friendship & New Beckham Family Drama

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 04:16:53 +0000

We’re right back into the Beckham family drama today, because after eldest son Brooklyn Beckham posted a series of scathing statements about his family, a number of sources have come forward. Mostly to explain what really happened during the ‘inappropriate’ mother and son dance (and we have a wild theory about this to share with you).

Plus, the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal drama has ramped up with a number of legal documents containing scandalous emails and text messages between Hollywood A-listers (including Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) being leaked, and now we need to dissect their contents.
Among the documents are also text messages between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, including one heartbreaking text message exchange that signals the end of their friendship.

Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi’s Sexy PR Plan & Amanda Seyfried Just Ruined Her Oscar Campaign

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 03:30:00 +0000

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have kicked off the press tour for their highly anticipating new film Wuthering Heights and so their PR plan has just been revealed. Let’s just say it’s got us both laughing and blushing.

And we need to have a word with the current fandoms, because two of the currently most famous (and hot) men in the world are being tortured by the people who say they love them the most, and this is not the first time we’ve seen this happen.

Plus, Amanda Seyfried was in the mix for the Best Actress Oscar race this year, until she just said the quiet part out loud about what those awards really mean.

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 04:15:24 +0000

First things first, the woman named as Keith Urban’s new live-in girlfriend has finally addressed the story, but we’re still questioning the motive behind how this all started.

And now, to the biggest story of the day (and possibly the year), Brooklyn Beckham has released a lengthy statement blasting his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, for mistreating his wife Nicola and ruining their lavish wedding.

Now we need to go through the most brutal allegations from Brooklyn, the stories we’ve heard from behind the scenes, and discuss an angle everyone has missed when it comes to discovering who has actually been leaking these stories over the years.

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 03:52:00 +0000

The 2026 season of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here has kicked off, and now we need to go through the surprising cast list. Plus, we discuss the production change that has left some viewers furious.

And there has been an avalanche of rumours that Keith Urban has a new girlfriend, and she’s not only much younger than him but a famous name in her own right. Now we need to unpack these rumours and discuss how different Keith’s post-divorce moves have been compared to Nicole Kidman.

Plus, the first photos of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft have been released, and there’s been a slight mixed reaction to the pics (which is to be expected with such an iconic franchise.) But there’s also another story involving a famous woman lurking behind this photo that we need to discuss.

A Brutally Honest Review Of Emily In Paris Season 5

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 03:45:20 +0000

We’re diving into one of Laura’s all-time favourite shows — and yes, both Laura and Em have some serious thoughts to unpack. From Emily’s Italian escapades, to the problems with this season's love interest, to the question nobody can ignore: why on earth was that girl truffle hunting in heels?

We break down the best and worst fashion moments, the Mindy storyline we genuinely couldn’t believe made it to screen, and whether this season delivered the escapism and chaos we expect — or finally pushed our suspension of disbelief too far.

And with Emily in Paris officially renewed for Season 6, we’re unpacking what we’re most excited to see next (and what absolutely needs to change). Grab a croissant (or a negroni) and join us for our spoiler-filled, brutally honest review of Emily in Paris Season 5.

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 03:44:01 +0000

Ali Wong and Bill Hader have quietly called it quits after two years together, and fans are revisiting everything from their surprisingly sweet origin story to new reports about why the split happened — and what Bill is really like behind the scenes.

And Kendall Jenner got candid on a podcast this week, opening up about her life growing up, addressing long-running internet rumours that she’s secretly a lesbian, and explaining why so many people still refuse to believe her when she talks about the cosmetic procedures she has (and hasn’t) had done.

Plus, Disney has officially unveiled the cast for its upcoming live-action Tangled, directed by the mind behind The Greatest Showman. With a fresh Rapunzel, Hollywood nostalgia in overdrive, and Gen-Z audiences in mind, we dive into whether this remake will capture the magic.

What’s got the world spiralling, the internet buzzing, and every group chat full of screaming? It’s Heated Rivalry — and today, Laura & Em are joined by our pop culture editor Tina Burke (aka the show’s biggest superfan) to break it all down.

We’re diving into why this book-to-series adaptation has taken over the world, how its previously unknown cast are now the boys of the moment, and the intense, heartbreaking, jaw-dropping moments that had all three of us bawling.

From the groundbreaking storytelling and the queer romance representation that matters, to the very real emotional chaos we felt episode after episode, we’re unpacking why Heated Rivalry is everything everyone’s talking about — and why you might need tissues.

WEEKEND WATCH: The Best Romcom In Years, A Thrilling Limited Series & A Musical Even The Haters Will Love

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

We found a romcom to rival When Harry Met Sally (maybe). In the first episode of Weekend Watch for 2026, Tina Burke gushes over this book adaptation. With a gorgeous cast, great writing and steamy scenes, we think it deserved a cinematic release.

Plus, Em is losing her head over a musical thats in cinemas. Recorded in the same style as Hamilton, its the perfect way to get your theatre hit without the price tag. Don't let the fact that its a musical discourage you, this show is basically a Spice Girls concert.

And a new limited series has Laura hooked. Starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, this thriller is full of twists and turns. No spoilers, but Em is pretty sure she knows how it ends.

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 03:30:00 +0000

These Are The 10 Best Movies Of 2025

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 03:30:00 +0000

We’re closing out the year with Laura and Em bringing you their absolute favourite films of 2025 — from two girls whose actual job it is to watch everything.

From the blockbuster no one thought would hit this hard, to the unsettling sci-fi surprise that completely rewired our expectations, to the movie that quietly became the most talked-about watch of the year, this round-up proves that 2025 delivered in ways we did not see coming.

And because it wouldn’t be an Em-and-Laura movie episode without a fight, things quickly derail when one pick sparks a very real debate about release dates, eligibility for today's theme, and whether “vibes” should count more than rules (Laura has thoughts).Consider this your must-watch list before the year ends — emotional, surprising, occasionally unhinged, and very on brand.

The Tragedy Of Gwyneth's Goop Gift Guide & Remembering A Hollywood Legend

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 04:31:44 +0000

Today we are celebrating the man who made so many of our favourite ever movies. We’ll explain how he shaped the romantic comedy genre - and reveal the one scene he regretted filming.

Plus, is this year's Goop Gift Guide the recession indicator no one saw coming? Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest gift guide features an "Under $100" section for us "normies," and frankly, we’re terrified. We break down the strange pivot to affordability and find the few remaining items (like a $500 bathroom accessory) that prove she’s still out of touch. Phew.

And we’re digging into a strange new trend of male actors setting boundaries around intimacy scenes. With George Clooney and allegedly Callum Turner both opting out of on-screen romance, we’re asking: are we entering a new, unsexy era of cinema?

A Brutally Honest Review Of Kim Kardashian’s Legal Drama All's Fair

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 03:58:19 +0000

The time has come. The first season of Ryan Murphy’s legal drama Alls Fair has come to an end and we desperately need to talk about it.For better or worse (and a lot of people will say worse) this has been one of the most talked about shows of the year, after dismal viewers and then record breaking audience numbers.So now we need to honestly critique Kim Kardashian’s acting performance in her first lead role and dissect the scenes in this over the top drama that had us both screaming and laughing (and not always for the right reasons).From the glorious fashion, to the significance of the guest stars and the award winning actresses who actually came through, here’s everything we can finally say about Alls Fair.

Why Beyonce Really Came Out Of Hiding & The Mistress Calling Out Lily Allen

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 03:54:06 +0000

After a ten-year hiatus, Beyonce is finally returning to the Met Gala - but the timing is suspicious. We’re digging into the theory that she’s been brought in to "save" the event from its recent tech-billionaire rebrand and what her return means for the fashion hierarchy.

Plus the woman who inspired Lily Allen’s hit song "West End Girl" has broken her silence, accusing the singer of spinning a false narrative that’s led to serious harassment. We break down the fallout from Lily's new music and why the internet is letting the famous husband at the centre of the scandal off the hook.

And Amy Schumer has officially confirmed she’s divorcing Chris Fischer. After months of tabloid speculation about her weight loss and their marriage, here’s why her chaotic, joke-filled confirmation was actually a masterclass in controlling the narrative.

All The Secrets and Deleted Scenes From Taylor Swift's New Docuseries

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 04:30:52 +0000

Today we’re going inside the world behind the Eras tour that stopped the world - with a deep dive into the first two episodes of Taylor Swift’s new docuseries End of an Era.

Laura is joined by two MEGA Swifties on the mic as they break down the behind-the-scenes chaos: life on the road, how the show was built, how Taylor winds down after each stadium performance, and the work that really went into making the two-year phenomenon such a cultural beast.

We’re also diving into what the series reveals about Taylor’s inner circle — from rare glimpses of her relationship with Travis Kelce to her “cosy friend” Florence Welch, plus the bond with her dancers and crew (including those headline-making bonuses) and the journey from “can’t dance” to commanding the stage night after night.

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Spillers, Emily In Paris Season 5 drops on December 18 and if you're feeling a little rusty on where we left things... never fear. We have the ultimate hype up episode, to get you across everything you need to know - from the Spill's sister podcast Watch Party.

If you love this ep, make sure you're following the Watch Party feed on Apple or Spotify so you're the first to get all our latest deep dives once Season 5 drops!

In this episode, you'll learn more about:

The Men of Emily In Paris — And Where We Left Them:A recap of Gabriel’s big Michelin moment, Alfie’s new love life, and Marcello’s very smooth, very wealthy Roman influencer — plus our experts predictions on who Emily actually ends up with.

Why Emily In Paris Is Deeper Than You Think:From cultural clashes to gendered criticism, and the Darren Star of it all — we break down why this show is secretly sharp commentary wrapped in a candy-coloured fantasy.

The Fashion Fever Dream:Patricia Field’s iconic influence, why realism isn’t the point, and the reason Emily’s outfits are intentionally chaotic in a way that keeps the show fun, heightened and addictive.

Real-Life Cast Drama + Season 5 Predictions:IRL breakups, what the cast have said, plus new arrivals this season and the fan conspiracies taking over Reddit ahead of the Season 5 premiere.

It’s everything you forgot, everything you missed, and everything you need to know before pressing play on Season 5.

The 6 Life Changing Movies Every Woman Should Watch Before The New Year

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 03:30:00 +0000

We have a list of movies that could genuinely change your life before the new year — but fair warning, Laura and Em interpreted this brief very differently, so buckle up for emotional whiplash.

From picks of pure whimsy to surprisingly sharp lessons about figuring out what you actually want in life... this list has something for everyone. One even prompts the girls to dive into the panic and poetry of hitting a certain milestone age, sending both hosts spiralling (in a cute way) about nostalgia, pressure and reflecting on how far they've come.

And of course… a few rogue curveballs no one asked for but somehow make perfect sense. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, and might just give you the exact movie you need to watch before the clock hits midnight.

Disturbing New Allegations Against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs And Why Everyone Is Panicking Over Netflix

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 04:01:45 +0000

Fans are convinced the Jonas Brothers are on a one-way ticket to broke-ville after the trailer for the revival of Camp Rock dropped this week. But the boys are pushing back - so we’re digging into whether or not we think they’re revisiting the old project out of passion or a serious need for some cash.

And the battle lines have been drawn between Netflix and Paramount… both vying to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, in a major merger that could reshape the entire industry as Hollywood braces for another wave of consolidation. So what will this mean for both creators and consumers?

Plus, Netflix has released The Reckoning, a new four-part documentary about Sean “P Diddy” Combs, featuring serious new allegations, juror insights from his recent trial, and 50 Cent’s very personal involvement behind the scenes — plus the ongoing fallout as more accusations resurface and the industry reacts in real time.

If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — the National Sexual Assault, domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service.

The Olsen Twins Sister Drama & The Celebrity Kicked Off The Tom Cruise’s Cake List

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 03:30:00 +0000

It’s that special time of year when we must revisit Tom Cruise’s strangest (and most iconic) holiday tradition — the infamous ‘coconut cake list.’ We’re diving into how this sugary gift became an elite Hollywood status symbol, who’s made the cut this year, and who’s been heartbreakingly dropped… and is still absolutely devo about it.

Plus, a brand new rom-com is on the way, and the trailer alone has sent us into a full spiral. It stars two actors who were once pegged as the next big thing — and now might be hoping this film is their ticket to a much-needed career revival.

And Elizabeth Olsen has opened up about what it was really like growing up in the shadow of Mary-Kate and Ashley. From childhood fame chaos to carefully distancing herself from nepotism, her new interview paints a picture of one of Hollywood’s most fascinating families.

From clever callbacks to the OG musical to the scene that left Laura with mascara streaked down her face (you know the one), nothing is off the table. It’s the movie we’ve been waiting for all year — counting down the days, watching every trailer, and clinging to every snippet in the press— so trust us, you don’t want to miss this one.

Robert Irwin’s Famous New Girlfriend And Why People Are Ignoring Lizzo’s Emotional Message

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 03:58:32 +0000

Robert Irwin has been crowned the winner of Dancing With The Stars, but that’s not the biggest reveal to come out of the finale. It looks like he’s now dating a very famous Hollywood actress, so allow us to present the evidence.
And, look, we think the pressure on celebrities to tell funny stories on talk shows has escalated to an unmanageable level, because Kate Beckinsale has just shared the wildest story we’ve ever heard, and we need you all to be horrid with us.
Plus, Lizzo has penned an extraordinary essay about her weight loss, the scandal that nearly ended her career, and what she owes her fans. Her statements feel like a battle cry, so why is no one talking about this?

Read Lizzo's substack article here.

Ariana Grande’s Secret Trauma And Matthew McConaughey's Questionable Sex Story

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 03:30:00 +0000

One of our favourite Christmas movies of all time is finally getting a sequel, but there’s one reason why we’re now nervous about what it will look like.

And Matthew McConaughey has shared an interesting story about what led him to his wife, but was it too much of a sexy overshare? We’re ready to fight to the death over it.

Plus, Wicked: For Good has broken box office records across the world, but the movie’s press tour looked wildly different from last year. There’s a reason why the leading ladies are fading into the background, and part of it is linked to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s secret traumas.

Our Favourite Movies You Should Never Watch on a First Date

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 03:30:00 +0000

Laura and Em dive deep into a topic that touches most of us at some point in our lives: first dates and the ultimate way to sabotage them! Inspired by Em’s recent failed first date experience involving a surprising horror film, they're compiling the definitive list of movies you should never watch with a new romantic prospect.

You'll hear:

The horror movie that killed the mood
A rom-com that forces "the talk"
The comedy that could make you hate men
The ultimate anti-marriage movie

This episode will have you laughing, nodding in agreement, and maybe even feeling a little wary of all men! But don't worry, we’ll try our hardest to suggest a movie that is actually nice about men.
Don't forget to bookmark this episode for the next time you're planning a date!

Reese Witherspoon Explains Why Modern Romance Is Failing & The Pettiest Celebrity Breakups Ever

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 03:30:00 +0000

Paddington: The Musical has officially opened on the West End, and yes, that bear has absolutely tugged at our heart‑strings. In fact one of us in particular might just have gotten teary at the trailers.

And newly single Nina Dobrev’s Halloween costume might just be the sneakiest celeb breakup shade we’ve seen this year. But that got us thinking about the pettiest celeb split moments of all time. We’re ranking the one‑upmanship, the look‑what‑I‑did posts and the clap‑backs no one saw coming.

Plus, Reese Witherspoon has gone on record about why she thinks modern romance is in free‑fall We’re reacting (and no, we aren’t sure we agree) — and we might just have planned our own rom‑com revival while we’re at it.

It's Getting Worse For David Harbour & The Roadmap To Jennifer Aniston's New Love

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 03:30:00 +0000

The final season of Stranger Things is overshadowed by news that 21-year-old Millie Bobby Brown filed a formal complaint of harassment and bullying against her co-star David Harbour before filming. We break down everything that’s come out.

After years of intense public scrutiny following her divorces, Jennifer Aniston has gone Instagram official with her new boyfriend, 50-year-old hypnotherapist and wellness coach Jim Curtis. We trace Jen's romantic timeline, from her post-Brad Pitt "defibrillator" Vince Vaughn to her quiet marriage with Justin Theroux.

And what happens when you’re famous, but your sibling is more famous? We explore the concept of Nepo Siblings, the younger, often more competitive counterparts to Nepo Babies.

You know we love a rom-com here at The Spill — and one of the biggest shows in the world has returned for Season 2, taking us from swoon-worthy confessions to the brutal reality of what happens after the honeymoon phase.In this season, we find Joanne and Noah navigating the chaos of real love — diving into what happens beyond the meet-cute montage.

We're also unpacking Joanne and Morgan's iconic sister relationship - the tangled dynamic of being best friends, business partners, and podcasters whose dramatic moments rival the romantic story arcs.We unpack everything from the moments that made us melt to the ending that, let’s just say, the internet (and us) had a lot of feelings about.And, we share a few sneaky behind-the-scenes details about how Nobody Wants This came to be, and one very interesting casting process.

So, is Season 2 still the sharp, heartfelt rom-com we fell for — or has the spark officially faded? We give you our brutally honest review.

In a surprising turn of events, Kim Kardashian is set to be our favourite new TV creator. She’s developing a show set to be the next The OC, and she’s pulled in some very famous names to help her.

And as we draw closer to the release of Wicked: For Good, all eyes are on Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater, who fell in love while filming the movies (and after their respective divorces), as their suspected break-up stars to make headlines. Here’s the real story behind the headlines.

Plus, this year's Oscars race is shaping up to be a nominee list packed with underdogs and comeback stories, so why are Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, and Julia Roberts being lumped in with the ‘underachievers’?

Sophie Turner And Chris Martin’s Secret History & The Woman From Lily Allen’s Break-Up Album Comes Forward

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 04:08:33 +0000

Katy Perry and ex-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have hard-launched their relationship during her birthday celebrations, completing their strategic three-prong approach to announcing their new couple status. But was their launch location of choice cheesy or chic? That’s the hard-hitting question we need to debate.

Plus, there’s a rumour gaining traction that Sophie Turner and Chris Martin are dating, even though both their teams have refused to comment on the story. But once you know the secret link between them, the story starts to become more believable.

And Lily Allen’s new album West End Girl is here, a masterpiece chronicling the end of her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour. In one of the songs, she sings about him cheating with a woman named ‘Madeline,’ and now the woman has come forward, but her story has made us deeply uncomfortable.

These TV Couples Have The Best Chemistry Of All Time

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 03:30:00 +0000

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have everyone talking after Nobody Wants This Season 2 dropped this week — but Laura’s convinced there’s another duo involving Kristen that completely blows this one out of the water.

From slow burns to instant sparks, today we’re ranking the TV couples with the best on-screen chemistry of all time. You’ll hear about the pairing that weren't even supposed to happen but were written into shows because of their undeniable connection, the co-stars who said the cutest things about each other off screen, and the couple that still makes us cry because they didn’t end up together.

And of course, Laura crowns the sexiest on-screen chemistry ever caught on camera — and Em tries (and fails) to explain a show she swears she’s never watched. Trust us, it’s priceless listening.This is the ultimate list of TV shows to rewatch if you want to see fireworks unfold right in front of your eyes.

HERE'S WHAT TO LISTEN TO NEXT:
A Celebrity Cheating Scandal, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Revenge & And Emily In Paris Just Floored Us
Every Bombshell From The Tell-All Britney Spears Book & A Celeb Meet Cute
The Comment That Turned The World Against Kristen Bell & Why Jennifer Lawrence Shared A ‘Trashy’ Story

The Comment That Turned The World Against Kristen Bell & Why Jennifer Lawrence Shared A ‘Trashy’ Story

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 03:41:11 +0000

The Golden Bachelor premiered this week and Australia has fallen in love with a single dad named Bear and his new harem of single ladies, but what is it about this series that has everyone back on the Bachelor train? We explore that along with some scandalous behind the scenes gossip.

Plus, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are starring in a highly anticipated new movie together and their press tour is off to a truly impressive start. So, what really prompted Jennifer to tell a ‘trashy’ story about Rob? We have a pretty good idea.

And Kristen Bell wished her husband Dax Shepard a happy wedding anniversary via a message and photo posted to her Instagram account, and it’s left many people furious. Now we need to unpack exactly what led to this message and how much of the anger is justified.

If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.

The Story Kim Kardashian Is Too Scared To Tell & Gwyneth Paltrow Just Took Down An Enemy

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 04:01:59 +0000

SKIMS is back in the headlines — this time with The Ultimate Bush faux hair thong. It’s bold, it’s hilarious, and we’re unpacking whether it’s genius marketing or just straight-up bizarre.

And Kim Kardashian sat down for a long-form podcast interview this week, but there are a few questions that she skimmed over that we now need to unpack. Like what really went down between her and Tom Brady (because it sounds dramatic), why does Kris Jenner act so wildly different behind the scenes, and was she scared to admit what Kanye West really did to her?

And finally, Gwyneth Paltrow opens up about “toxic people” at Goop — and shares a funny personal moment about meeting a certain Hollywood A-lister she barely knew… so little that she didn’t even realize he was dating someone in the Kardashian clan.

Prince William’s Calculated Interview And Our Favourite Celebrity Grifter Is Lying Again

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 04:00:10 +0000

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were looking very in love on a red carpet recently, but before you get too excited, we need to tell you what was really going on.

Plus, Prince William gave a very surprising interview to a beloved Hollywood celeb that was clearly trying to change our image of him (and it might have worked on Em…), so we need to unpack exactly what happened, starting with his questionable electric scooter use.

And Hilaria Baldwin is back in the spotlight in a huge way, appearing on Dancing With The Stars and taking part in tell-all interviews, and she is still clinging to the (alleged) lie that she is Spanish. So what has led to this most recent grift? Well, we need to talk about it.

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 03:33:17 +0000

Paris Fashion Week drew an especially impressive celebrity crowd this year, but what happened outside the shows was more exciting than what was shown on the runway.

Recapping The Most Unhinged Spill Episode Of All Time...

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 03:30:00 +0000

You're a liar if you say you never crushed on an animated character.
Seriously, what do Brendan Fraser's abs in a jungle loincloth, a dreamy cartoon lion, and a certain ghost-turned-human all have in common? They star in the movies that delivered a major, and sometimes highly confusing, dose of sexual awakening.

We’re taking a deep, deep dive back into the archives of our childhood VCR tapes and animated movie collections to reveal the truth about the characters and scenes that changed everything.

Prepare yourself for slightly NSFW confessions about the forbidden films and TV shows your parents probably didn't know you were watching. Plus, one cult-classic teen movie that made one of us walk in a girl and walk out a woman 🥵.

SPECIAL: We Take You Inside The New Amanda Knox Series And Real-Life Case

Sat, 04 Oct 2025 19:00:00 +0000

On a summer night in Italy in 2007, the brutal murder of Meredith Kercher shocked the world. Her American flatmate Amanda Knox, and her new boyfriend Raffaele, were instantly thrust into an international legal saga that spanned years.

For the first time ever, True Crime Conversations host Claire Murphy joins The Spill's Laura Brodnik for a can't-miss crossover that dissects the new Disney+ series, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. Whether you're a true-crime devotee or an entertainment junkie, you need to hear this.

In this episode, we bring you the full forensic detail of the Amanda Knox case, including the vital piece of contamination that crumbled the prosecution's DNA evidence. We also analyse the dramatic new TV series that puts you inside Amanda’s mind, depicting the terrifying interrogation police failed to record.

Discover the unsettling truth about the unflushed poo, the "see you later" text police misinterpreted, and the psychological tricks used to coerce a false confession from an exhausted, non-Italian speaking student.

We explain why the show's creators believe that only a drama - not a documentary or a memoir - can truly clear a name that has been dragged through the mud for a decade, and clear up exactly how Monica Lewinsky got involved.

THE END BITS

Plus, Em has been nearly dying of laughter thanks to a new animated series she has just discovered, and it’s led to a bit of a confessional conversation about the animated shows we still watch as adults.

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 04:42:33 +0000

It has just been confirmed that Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show will be reinstated after being taken off air, following an avalanche of outrage from Hollywood’s biggest stars. But before you start celebrating, there is a catch.

Plus, it appears that the stars of two of our comfort shows, Gossip Girl and Gilmore Girls, are teaming up for a new movie, but it’s not quite above board yet, so allow us to explain.

Speaking of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively posted a seemingly innocent collection of images to her Instagram account this week and the fallout has been immense. From divorce rumours, to new celebrity feuds and even Taylor Swift being dragged back into the fray again, we need to unpack exactly how this all blew up.

The Celebrity Trial We Can’t Look Away From & The Engagement That ‘Might’ Overshadow Taylor Swift

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 05:06:01 +0000

It’s hard to think of an engagement announcement that might overshadow Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but a reveal from his own team might have done just that (we acknowledge that this segment is a reach).

And our favourite new reality show of 2025 came from an unexpected place…Cardi B’s assault trial. Clips from the trial have been going viral, and now that it has come to an end, we need to recap the craziest moments.

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 05:19:35 +0000

Taylor Swift made her highly anticipated debut on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast and it did not disappoint.

We also bring you the most iconic moments from the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, including Ben Platt’s haunting “Diet Pepsi” cover and Renée Rapp’s instant-classic award speech. From cutting celebrity deep-dives to chaotic pop culture celebrations, this episode covers it all.

The Celebrity Mum Coming For Taylor Swift & The Curse Of The Vow Renewal

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 04:45:00 +0000

Today on The Spill, Matty Healy’s mum, Denise Welch, has spoken out on her son's ex Taylor Swift and she absolutely did not hold back. She says she's “glad” she’s not Swift’s mother-in-law, throwing shade over Swift’s songwriting era allegedly inspired by Healy. We break down just how chaotic it got on Watch What Happens Live.

Then, we tackle the growing curse of celebrity vow renewals. Chrishell Stause and G Flip have made renewing their vows an annual tradition. But does this ritual of romance actually jinx relationships more often than bless them? We dive into the history and pattern of celebrity reboot marriages gone sideways.

And finally Harry Styles is dropping a vibrator. Yep, he's come out with a double sided vibrator co-designed with sex educator Zoë Ligon, plus premium lube. We explore how it marks a bold pivot for his brand and why fans are so here for it.

Hollywood Reboots We'd Watch In A Heartbeat & Ones That Would Ruin Everything

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 05:27:06 +0000

Today on The Spill, we’re diving headfirst into Hollywood’s reboot obsession. First up: our reactions to the latest Happy Gilmore sequel—featuring Adam Sandler reprising his iconic role, a mountain of celebrity cameos, and a nostalgia-laden return.

From there, we break down the flood of classic titles headed back to production: a Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in the works. Plus, Bend It Like Beckham 2 is on the horizon, with plans for a 2027 release. Not to mention the Freaky Friday reboot we're counting down the days for. Then comes the big question: Do we actually love this reboot boom, or are our favourite films getting dragged through the nostalgia machine? We weigh in.

We also play a game of which hypothetical reboots we’d greenlight, and which movies are too gold to remake. So whether you’re craving nostalgic comfort or mourning potential movie crimes, this episode has you covered.

A Note About Meghan Markle’s Downfall & The Celebrity Video That Made The World Recoil

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 04:53:19 +0000

Today we kick things off with a wild celeb-in-the-wild sighting that sparked major debate in one of Laura & Em's meetings. Alison Brie photographed cutting her husband Dave Franco’s toenails during a picnic. Intimate? Gross? Brilliant PR? We dig into what it means, especially with their new horror movie dropping.

Then, Netflix has released its official mid-year viewership data dump… The most-watched show of 2025 is one no one saw coming, but boy oh boy did it get the whole world talking... while Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series With Love, Meghan didn't exactly make waves. So what do the stats say about what people are actually watching?

Plus, an internet hyperfixation throwback. A new two part doco on the Brit Crew has dropped - a group of Youtubers that blew up the internet when Em was growing up... and she's desperate to tell Laura (and you) all the lore.

A Brutally Honest Review Of Too Much On Netflix

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 05:33:04 +0000

You asked, we delivered. Ever since Lena Dunham’s new Netflix series Too Much dropped, Spillers have been sliding into our DMs dying to hear what Laura and Em think… and today, we’re going deep.

We unpack how the show draws from Lena’s real life, how it stacks up against Girls, and why it’s not really the rom-com it’s being marketed as. From the scenes we loved to the ones that completely wrecked us (yes, one of us cried), it’s a brutally honest review with zero filter.

Whether you loved it or are still unsure what you just watched, this is the post-watch debrief you didn’t know you needed.

Weekend Watch: The Ultimate Teen Romance, A Star-Studded Slasher & The Best Comedy On TV

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

It’s Weekend Watch time! This week, we’re chatting about three new releases that span teen drama, classic comedy and a horror reboot.

First, a much-loved coming-of-age series is back, and we're ready for the love triangle that's spanned three season.

Next, a long-running sitcom returns with a brand new season. It's still outrageous and boundary-pushing, featuring a crossover episode with Abott Elementary to kick off it's 17th season.

And finally, a new take on a cult horror film has landed. It's got blood, it's got gruesome murders, and of course rich teens misbehaving. But does the reboot land as well as the 1997 original?

We Need To Address Charlize Theron's Sex Confession & A New Nepo Baby Couple

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 04:45:00 +0000

Today on The Spill, we’re diving into the phenomenon of nepo baby power couples... and why the internet we're all lowkey obsessed with them.

Plus, there's one nepo baby that has the internet (and us) in a chokehold, and there's a lot you have yet to learn about him, and the lore behind his stardom.

Finally, Charlize Theron just gave one of the most raw, unfiltered interviews we’ve heard in a while on Call Her Daddy, opening up about her career, sex life, and why she's choosing to be single. And let's just say it's got some people clutching their pearls.

On the show today, the list of highest-grossing actors has dropped and a woman is sitting at number one for the first time.

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 04:45:00 +0000

SPILLERS - a little daily surprise coming to you from Monday on this feed at 8am. You're welcome!

Today on The Spill, we’re celebrating the rarest of cinematic gems: movie franchises where every single film is worth watching. No skips, no flops, just pure binge-worthy magic from start to finish.

We swap stories about the iconic series that shaped our youth (and discover a few wild generational gaps), as we break down what makes a movie franchise truly great, and why some still hold up decades later.

And yes, one of our hosts was genuinely horrified to find out the other has never made it through a certain epic fantasy trilogy… and honestly, the friendship may never recover.

The Dark Side Of Child Stardom & Diddy's Verdict Is In

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 05:06:51 +0000

On today’s show, we’re covering the verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial. The hip-hop mogul was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while being acquitted of more severe charges like sex trafficking and racketeering.

Plus, Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died is being adapted into a new series with Jennifer Aniston set to play the role of her controlling mother. McCurdy herself is co-writing and producing the series, which promises to delve deep into the dark side of child stardom.

And speaking of child stars, we’re taking a deep dive into the world of young fame, exploring the journeys of those who navigated the spotlight successfully and those who faced significant challenges. From the pressures of early fame to the support systems (or lack thereof) that can make or break a young actor, we’ll discuss the factors that influence these trajectories.

Khloe Kardashian’s Suspicious Confession & The Pop Star That Left Fans Fuming

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 05:24:14 +0000

Today on The Spill, we’re breaking down everything that went down at Glastonbury, from Harry Styles’ very public kiss to headliner Olivia Rodrigo’s surprise guests, and the backlash that’s erupted over Lana Del Rey’s set. It was a wild weekend, and we’ve got the full rundown.

Then, we’re diving into the rise of concert tourism.

But are we now expecting too much from our pop stars?

And finally, Khloé Kardashian has revealed every cosmetic surgery and procedure she’s had done. But is it really the full story? We unpack the wave of celebrity transparency around plastic surgery, how it’s reshaping beauty culture, and why some stars are still keeping quiet.

The 10 Best Shows Of The Year (So Far)

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 05:03:29 +0000

From buzzy new releases to under-the-radar gems, we’re officially halfway through the year, so it’s time to round up the very best TV shows of 2025 (so far).

In this episode, Laura and Taylah share their top picks for what you should be watching right now. Yes, there are a few big titles you’ll recognise (White Lotus, we see you), but most of these are fresh releases that dropped their first season this year, and might not be on your radar yet.

From Stanley Tucci’s delicious culinary quest through Italy, to an underrated Netflix comedy about love, ageing and awkward family dynamics, and Kate Hudson's fun, sporty series with a big heart, there’s something for everyone to curl up with this winter.

A Brutally Honest Review Of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Season 2

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 05:21:25 +0000

This week, we’re diving pom-poms first into Season 2 of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and let’s just say, it’s not all rhinestones and high kicks.

In our brutally honest review, we break down the fights these women took on behind the scenes, from their long-overdue push for better pay, to the toll of representing one of the most iconic (and controlling) sports brands in the world.

Yes, there’s been progress, but we’re also talking about the areas where the system still gets it wrong, especially when it comes to diversity, body image, and the pressure to be "perfect."

We unpack the surprising twists, the darker moments you might not expect, and the very real power dynamics at play, on and off the field.

Plus, Ksenija shares her insider scoop from the modelling world, drawing some striking (and frankly disturbing) parallels between runway life and the DCC machine: the unattainable beauty standards, the constant critiques, and the pressure to smile through it all.

The Truth About Writing A Celebrity Profile

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 04:45:00 +0000

Today on The Spill, we unpack the surprisingly intense reaction to Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle product launch. What started as a simple jar of jam and a bottle of rosé has spiralled into viral backlash. But is it really about the products, or something deeper?

Then, a high-profile feminist has gone viral for saying she no longer wants to be interviewed by women. We explore what sparked the comment, the reaction online, and whether it speaks to broader tension around how female celebrities are treated in media.

Our hosts also weight in with their tales of what it’s really like interviewing celebrities, and how writing a profile is never as simple as it seems.

The other is a new series that has just landed on Netflix, about a rich and powerful family who make some questionable choices while keeping their business empire afloat. Let’s just say it’s giving us Yellowstone vibes.

Sure - the Pope passing away isn’t the sort of gear we usually discuss on The Spill, but it is when it links to one of Em’s FAVE ever movies! On the show today - we dive into the fascinating ritual that's straight out of your favorite Netflix drama - complete with secret ballots, chimney signals, and centuries-old traditions that even non-Catholics can't help but be captivated by!

Plus, Coachella 2025 is finally over after what felt like a month-long fashion parade. We break down what you missed, including the two Aussie podcasters turned up in literal Bunnings fits and won the entire festival.

And why is everyone talking about "Sinners"? Maybe because Michael B. Jordan playing TWIN BROTHERS in a 1930s vampire thriller is the movie magic we didn't know we needed! Despite incredible box office numbers and rave reviews, there's drama brewing behind the scenes about the director's creative control. The film that's changing the Hollywood game deserves your immediate attention!

First up, the apocalyptic drama everyone's talking about returns for a second season with a shocking time jump, while the ultimate eye candy offering hits cinemas this weekend with not one but TWO Michael B. Jordans (Em is in heaven).

We're diving into the superhero series for people who don’t like superhero series - it’s more Suits meets Succession and it’s so bingeable. Plus we’ll tell you about a new edge-of-your-seat thriller that drops this weekend starring everyone's favourite White Lotus breakout in a game of digital cat and mouse - it'll have you second-guessing your next dinner reservation.

And if you’re seeking prestige drama, there's a beautifully crafted Australian war series featuring television's favourite brooding heartthrob in some rather... intimate scenes. Based on a prize-winning novel, it's the perfect emotional journey to justify that second (or third) chocolate egg.

All The Celebrities Criticising Katy Perry’s Space Trip & The Evolution Of Addison Rae

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 05:10:34 +0000

On the show today, two juicy new trailers dropped onto our screens today, so now we need to discuss a slightly scandalous new movie and the return of a fav Aussie show.

Plus, once upon a time Addison Rae was just another girl riding the opening high of TikTok, now she’s cemented herself as the best kind of manufactured pop star and her recent stunt at Coachella deserves our attention.

And after 11 full minutes in space, the first all female space crew have returned to Earth, bringing with them an avalanche of memes and viral clips. Now we need to talk about how Katy Perry turned the event into a publicity opportunity, and the famous women who have slammed the trip as ‘irresponsible’ and ‘gluttonous’.

The Downfall Of The Kardashians & Why Taylor Swift Is In Hiding

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 04:56:14 +0000

On the show today, news of a Pride and Prejudice remake coming to Netflix has reached our ears and people are losing their minds at the casting (including us).

Plus, fans are fuming at a survey distributed by Travis Kelce’s podcast that references Taylor Swift. But we’re less invested in that ‘scandal’ and more interested in why the world’s most famous woman has gone into hiding.

And The Kardashians is over for another year, but the latest season of the reality show has left a bad taste in the mouths of some diehard fans. The Kardashians are more famous than ever before, so let's talk about what’s really driving this perceived downfall.

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet’s Sexy Weekend Is Ruined & Lady Gaga’s Devilish Performance

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 05:10:50 +0000

On the show today, The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood was parodied on a recent episode of Saturday Night Live and she called out the performance as cruel and cheap. But what’s just as interesting is how another cast member’s behaviour has further fuelled rumours of a feud.

And Coachella kicked off this weekend, bringing together an assortment of our favourite celebrities and pop stars, and now we need to talk through the biggest moments and scandals. From two pop girlies with a difficult past reuniting on stage to the reason why Lady Gaga was accused of a bit of devil worship and the stars of our favourite TV show sharing a cute moment in the crowd, there are so many moments we need to discuss.

Plus, Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were all set for a sexy weekend at Coachella (we saw the photos) but then Timothee brought along a questionable object that demanded our immediate attention.

A Famous Family Has Been Keeping A Secret & The White Lotus Stars Are Feuding

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 04:39:21 +0000

On the show day, the dramatic finale of The White Lotus might still be playing in our minds but those crazy scenes are nothing compared to what’s happening to the cast in real life.

And Tom Hanks has always been one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood, along with his famous children. But now his daughter has published a book about their history and a series of secrets have come to life.

Plus, Elton John and Madonna have been locked in an intense feud for years, but now it has seemingly come to an end. But there’s another way this should have gone down.

On today’s show, one of our hosts had an unexpected run in with Jacob Elordi last night and we probably shouldn’t be talking about it (but we did).

Plus, the fallout from Disney’s Snow White continues, including some upcoming live action adaptations being axed because of the ongoing drama. But we also need to talk about the son of a famous Hollywood family blaming Rachel Zegler for the movie’s downfall.

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 04:15:07 +0000

The cast of the upcoming Beatles movies (yes, four movies in total) has been announced and we fear the press tour will be too much for girlies everywhere.

Plus, it’s a bad week to be Kim Kardashian. Headlines proclaiming that she is suing one of her most famous friends have been flooding our feeds, but is it all a distraction from another pre series story?

And Chappell Roan went viral this week after proclaiming that she’d never met a happy parent her age, but there’s another bombshell in that interview that we need to urgently discuss. Hear Chappell’s whole chat on Call Her Daddy on Apple or Spotify.

In the biggest movie news delivered to us this year, the cast of Avengers: Doomsday has been announced and the cast list is stacked with names you never saw coming.

Plus, Prince Harry released a very dramatic statement about why he had to exit the charity he founded, only for the chairperson of the charity to accuse him of bullying her, among other very damaging accusations. There’s a reason you haven’t seen these damning allegations about Prince Harry filling your news feeds, so we’re here to fill you in.

And Sydney Sweeney has been seen hanging out with her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell, after she most definitely called off her upcoming wedding. Is there any truth to this new romance?

A Brutally Honest Review Of Grey's Anatomy - To Celebrate Its 20 Years

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 04:29:29 +0000

It's been 20 years since we first met Meredith Grey and the surgical interns at Seattle Grace Hospital, and Grey's Anatomy is still serving up plenty of medical miracles, romantic entanglements, and catastrophic disasters.

Joining us to Brutally Honest Review the Shonda Rhimes hit series is our in-house Grey's expert Grace Rouvray, as we dissect everything from the most underrated moments to the character deaths that broke our hearts. From the iconic friendship between Christina and Meredith that gave us "you're my person," to the questionable storylines that had us rolling our eyes, we're examining what has kept viewers like us coming back for 20 seasons.

Plus, we reveal the dramatic behind-the-scenes controversies, debate which doctor was truly the hottest (are you Team McSteamy or Team McDreamy?), and discuss how the show's treatment of female ambition has aged in the era of the "pick me girl."

On the show today, we're bringing you three unmissable recommendations. First up, the criminally under-discussed comedy 'Deli Boys' on Disney+ that features two privileged brothers inheriting not just their father's convenience store empire, but also his secret criminal organisation.

Plus we're diving into why the 'Severance' Season 2 finale has completely divided viewers and we're breaking down why Adam Scott deserves all the awards for the show that continues to dominate conversation about work-life balance and identity.

And the confronting but critically important Netflix series 'Adolescence' has become the platform's most-watched show for good reason.We look at why this examination of online radicalisation and its impact on young boys might be difficult viewing for parents, but also why that makes it essential viewing in today's digital landscape.

On the show today, we have two new releases that we are very passionate about. First of all, Australia finally has a new nighttime talk show with a celebrity guest. But are people being too harsh about its first episode?

And the creators of Grey’s Anatomy and Bridgerton have a new murder mystery series out on Netflix this week. But is it worth all the hype? We finally have an answer.

How Scarlett Johansson Kept Her Secrets & Netflix’s Must Watch New Show

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 04:01:11 +0000

There’s a huge debate currently raging around live action Disney remakes that we need to unpack, which has led us to a very odd discussion about the new Lilo & Stitch trailer.

And Netflix has dropped a must watch new series that is unlike anything else we’ve seen before. Now we need to unpack the true story behind it and why people are having such a visceral reaction to it.

Plus, Scarlett Johansson has given a new tell all interview and the deeper we look into it the more interesting her story becomes.

Meghan Markle’s Quietly Calculated Move & Some Risqué The White Lotus Thoughts

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:37:41 +0000

On the show today, the world is obsessed with this new season of The White Lotus, and now we need to unpack some of the more questionable scenes and theories.

Plus, a flashy sporting event was attended by multiple celebrities and influencers in Australia over the weekend, and it has raised a few eyebrows. But here’s why this conversation is about more than just backlash.

And Meghan Markle has announced her next business venture, and predictably it’s been met with a lot of disdain and judgement. But when you look closer at her plan, she’s actually just using an old school playbook.

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 04:15:55 +0000

On the show today, why Doechii’s new music needs to be at the top of your obsession list (and it’s about more than just a TikTok trend).

Plus, a few years ago Chet Hanks was nothing more than a punchline. The son of one of the most famous actors of all time was known for cringey videos and problematic allegations, but now the world has fallen in love with him and we might be part of the problem.

And Kanye West has released a song that features the vocals of his young daughter North West along with an appearance from Sean Combs, who remains in prison due to a number of allegations including rape and sexual assault. Now a leaked message from Kim Kardashian has been shared and it adds an extra disturbing layer to the story.

Simmone Jade McKinnon Is Famous But She's Not Rich

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Simmone Jade McKinnon was - and is, to many - Stevie from McLeods Daughters. She joined that iconic Australian show fresh from another era-defining TV moment, Baywatch, with a Hollywood star fiancé on her arm and a creative career in full flight.

And then everything changed.

Simmone and her son Madigan have been living in a caravan and then a shed in her family’s back paddock for the best part of a decade. She’s been making ends meet with carer’s subsidy, odd jobs like jillaroo and by starting her own small business. When she decided to step out of a dark time and back in front of a camera for a reality show earlier this year it was very clearly with one goal in mind - the prize money.

On this episode, the first MID conversation about money, you'll hear how all that's been going for Simmone. And you’ll hear what it was like to be on one of the biggest shows in the world and get fired for what you refused to do in lingerie on a beach. How she came back from crippling panic attacks during a high-profile break-up to film wedding scenes for our viewing pleasure and, most importantly, how she’s kept moving and dreaming and pushing on as she’s been parenting her son alone on a very minimal income.

Simonne is famous but she’s not rich, and we assume those things go together. Her story might not be yours, but there’s plenty of familiar territory here. Please enjoy MID, Season 2, Episode 3: Money, with Simmone Jade Mackinnon.

Anora is the movie that swept the Oscars this year, taking home Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing.

It’s also one of the wildest movie watching experiences we have ever had, so now it’s time for a brutally honest review on the movie that everyone is talking about. From the unexpected story behind the film’s plot, to the many controversies that surrounded it’s release and some eyebrow raising stories from how it was filmed, the conversation around Anora is just as intriguing as the movie itself.

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 04:16:00 +0000

The Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special took place over the weekend and it was packed with celebrity cameos and musical performances that we need to discuss.

A Brutally Honest Review Of Apple Cider Vinegar

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 03:20:00 +0000

On today's show, we're diving deep into Netflix's gripping new Australian series Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the infamous story of wellness scammer Belle Gibson.

From Kaitlyn Dever's eerily perfect Australian accent to the fascinating creative liberties taken with the real story, there are so many layers to unpack in this six-part drama that has everyone talking. We've broken down how the show manages to turn this well-known Australian scandal into a compelling commentary on the early days of Instagram and the dark side of the wellness industry.

Plus, we need to discuss the controversial portrayal of wellness warrior Jess Ainscough through the fictional character of Milla Blake.

Taylor Swift & Blake Lively's Friendship Fallout & Kanye West Has Gone Too Far

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 03:54:14 +0000

We need to talk about the new royal book that's about to drop, because it incudes revelations about Prince William's bath time and Meghan Markle's early palace days.

Plus, the internet is losing it over Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's supposed friendship breakdown, and we need to unpack why everyone thinks these besties are on the outs. Between that Super Bowl no-show and some legal documents that have surfaced, there's a lot more to this story.

And we absolutely have to discuss Kanye West's concerning Super Bowl weekend meltdown that ended with him vanishing from social media (again). From his attacks on Taylor Swift to some other seriously offensive statements, this is more than just another Kanye moment.

The Super Bowl halftime show took place today (allegedly some football happened around it, but we can’t speak on that). Now we need to talk about the best and worst moments and how Taylor Swift was somehow painted as a villain.

The Critics Choice Awards took place over the weekend and host Chelsea Handler made some wild jokes at the expense of Blake Lively and Ariana Grande. Plus we need to talk about the most surprising wins and acceptance speeches of the night along with a celebrity kiss that had us inappropriately swooning.

And we need to talk about an awards season drama that has changed the Oscars race. Emilia Pérez was set to dominate the Academy Awards and now one story has seemingly destroyed their chances for good.

And of course, we need to urgently dissect the movie’s viral sex scenes…but our opinions on them might be a little polarising.

But Naomi Watts is starring in a new role now…the role of author and advocate and innovator for menopausal women. She’s written an incredible new book, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause. But before she could write it - she had to wrestle with the strong sense of shame she carried around her own experiences - which she shares with Mia Freedman in this special conversation.

You can find Naomi’s book, Dare I Say It, here.

You can follow Naomi on Instagram, here.

Meghan Markle’s Magazine Enemy & The Biggest New Movie Of The Week

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 04:14:56 +0000

This sounds like a fever dream, but Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous ski trial has been turned into a musical and we need to talk about it.

And Vanity Fair has released a scandalous new cover story about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, which the couple refused to be part of and once you know the backstory, you’ll understand why.

Plus, we attended the premiere of the new movie A Great Unknown, and as we unpack Timothee Chalamet’s bizarre promotional strategy for the film, we also need to have a throw-down fight about whether or not it was any good.

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 04:09:33 +0000

It Ends With Us actor and director Justin Baldoni has sued his co-star Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation and extortion (among other things) following her official complaint against him and accompanying lawsuit for sexual harassment (among other things).
