The Spill

Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls have been friends for 15 years. Now there are cryptic comments, talk of broken girl code and, allegedly, Tom Brady at the centre of it all. Laura and Tina trace the rift, unpack the rumoured backstory and agree on one thing: Joan should be as petty as she likes.
Then Taika Waititi has hit back after Clara and the Sun landed a 28% critic score, calling critics “sad, lost souls” who couldn’t make it as artists. Laura is furious. Tina is considerably less rattled. And it sparks a bigger question about what criticism is actually for, and whether anyone can still have an honest opinion when bad reviews chase clicks and glowing ones chase invites.
Plus, Jamie Dornan has been cast as Aragorn in The Hunt for Gollum. Laura sees “a weakness to that man”. Tina sees a future classic and has made a Photoshopped image to prove it. Laura calls it uncanny valley Viggo. Tina would frame it.

Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson and Niecy Nash-Betts are on The Spill for an Australian exclusive, and Laura has some unfinished business with the women of All’s Fair.
Last time Laura interviewed the cast, she walked away convinced Kim Kardashian hated her. This time, she gets a second chance — and thankfully, the vibes are very different.
With season two of All’s Fair about to arrive, Laura asks the cast what we can expect after a first season that was absolutely savaged by critics but became a huge ratings hit anyway. And yes, she asks Kim and her co-stars how it actually felt to read those brutal reviews, leading to a surprisingly candid response from Kim.
Then Laura and Tina unpack everything that happened in the interview, the very different energy in the room this time around, and why Laura can finally retire her one-sided feud with Kim Kardashian.

Laura and Tina agree on almost nothing in pop culture, except Stardust. For the (very loosely timed) 19th anniversary, we’re finally unpacking our joint favourite movie, and rewatching it as adults was a lot.

We break down why this movie quietly teaches us that the heroes are young and hot and the villains are old and haggard, and why Michelle Pfeiffer’s star-eating witch might actually have a point. We revisit the wagon romance we swooned over as teens and ask some very uncomfortable questions about Dunstan, then watch his son repeat history with a chained-up Claire Danes.

Plus, the cast nobody clocked at the time, from a pre-Daredevil Charlie Cox to a moustached Henry Cavill, and the Robert De Niro role we’ll defend forever. Chaotic, magical and deeply problematic, it’s still our comfort movie. Stardust is available to rent on Prime Video.
