The Spill

Today we are unpacking our absolute hyper-fixation on a buzzy new sports-romance adaptation that shattered streaming records within days of its debut.

We break down the glorious absurdity of the main plot hook - featuring an early-2000s style music scholarship - and share a very unpopular, brutally honest opinion about why the main couple's first big kiss left us completely cold.

From our intense obsession with a certain culinary-minded side character to the unhinged fan fiction we are already spinning about the cast, this is the ultimate post-binge debrief you need this weekend.

A beloved comedy favourite has finally returned to our screens with its highly anticipated second season, but it is navigating a truly heartbreaking cast departure. We unpack how the series explores the messy fallout of a long-term friendship group fracturing after a major loss, all while maintaining its signature razor-sharp wit. Plus, we interviewed Tina Fey about it, and you can read that here.

Meanwhile, an iconic Hollywood wildcard has taken on a bold new project on a major streamer that looks and feels completely out of this world. Wait until you hear about the brilliant visual gimmick that lets viewers alternate between colour and a stunning black-and-white aesthetic on this show.

Plus, a scandalous and raw new homegrown reality docuseries has dropped, exposing the inner workings of a multi-million-dollar industry. We dive into the massive group chat drama and behind-the-scenes feuds unfolding in a luxury coastal playground. Read our review of the show here.

A shocking new industry study has exposed a massive crisis for Hollywood women, and one of our absolute fave British icons has thrown her support behind a new campaign to fight this erasure, sharing her own experiences with vulnerable on-screen moments.

Meanwhile, a viral video of Russell Crowe confronting a crowd outside his hotel has ignited a massive online debate about celebrity boundaries. We unpack the intense double standards at play and look at why public reactions look so different when a leading lady tries to say no.

Plus, the reality television reunion the entire world has been waiting for has finally dropped, and the fallout from an ultimate friendship betrayal is completely unhinged. We dissect the shocking moment a star was caught out by her location data, leaving her former best friend devastated in the street while the man at the centre plays the silent coward.

One beloved reality TV institution is being "rested" and we're debating whether that's a sign of the times — or just the cost of keeping audiences hooked on drama.

Plus, the AMAs red carpet delivered the fashion chaos we've been starving for, and one particular look has us absolutely obsessed (hint: hair is doing a lot of heavy lifting).

And, a completely made-up celebrity feud spiralled into the week's biggest tabloid saga, and we're furious about how easily people bought it as fact. Find out how a recycled photo and wishful thinking created an entire fictional storyline.
