Did you hear that Myf has the Prime Minister on her Spicks and Specks team this weekend too? She'll give you all the goss.

Oct 03, 2024•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's another big week but all good, Myf and Zan are here to make sense of it all for you. And oh boy, the internet has delivered.

Take 5 has been nominated for a Logie (!) and we're looking at you, Bang Fam, to nab the win. Charli XCX has invited Lorde onto a remix of a song reportedly about her. What results is one of the most beautiful displays of radical vulnerability we've heard, and it gets us thinking about the pitting of pop stars against one another, and how the new guard of stars is rewriting the rules. Justin Timberlake has had a "tough week", while...

Jun 11, 2024•10 min•Transcript available on Metacast Just when we think it's been a quiet week, the internet proves us wrong. A TikTok comedian has gotten answers to the questions many journo's have been asking of Baz Luhrmann, streetside in Sydney. Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have launched a new reality TV show about their lives (in strange timing...), and the Tillies squad has been announced for the Paris Olympics. It feels like it's been a bit of a pile on for J Lo lately, and it speaks to a whole lot more than poor ticket sales. Why is women's am...

May 27, 2024•9 min•Transcript available on Metacast Myf and Zan are back and there is plenty to catch up on. Most importantly, the annual Westminster Dog Show, the pranciest event of the year. Sage has won, and rightly so. Speaking of winners, Grace Tame has proven once again she's unstoppable; winning a 60km ultramarathon and capturing the experience of the run so poetically. ChatGPT have released new chatbots, one of which sounds frighteningly similar to Scarlett Johansson. So we're watching HER again, and finding out the full story. And a Kans...
May 23, 2024•44 min•Transcript available on Metacast Zan’s been whisked away on secret special business this week, so she and Myf have a bonus bang all the way from their show at Brisbane Comedy Festival. This time, they’re picking apart the very horny tennis movie Challengers starring Zendaya, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Woodies or Porky’s, but somehow they weave their way into this very silly conversation.
