We’re sifting through and making sense of the week that was, while looking with our eyes and listening with our ears.
No Time to Die has finally opened, and Zan has her spoiler-free hot takes on the new James Bond (and what phone he’s using).
The tragic death of eight people at Travis Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ festival raises questions about how why it happened, and if the artist holds the ultimate responsibility in keeping punters safe.
A seasoned art critic has completely missed the context of a major work, and his ownership of that blind spot is truly a delight.
And Joe Biden has executed a long fart in the company of Camilla Parker-Bowles. Why do we know this?!
Meanwhile we’re getting excited for House of Gucci, and Myf is bingeing L’Opera while Zan is at the movies to watch the Anthony Bourdain doco.
