The Spill

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.

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?

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.

We are doing a weekly Reality Recaps show - listen to them all here...

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.
