Ok how many people googled "The Joker" song after seeing Gaga sing it this week? Myf and Zan are here to unpack the week that was, and investigate whether Lady Gaga is a hornbag for Kath & Kim's theme song.
The courtroom saga of the MONA Ladies Lounge is the gift that keeps giving, and we debrief on the artist's win. And a great read in the New Yorker unpacks the trends, algorithms, and servitude we offer up to Instagram in our quest to be seen.
Bit of coin chat this week too, and we've been nominated for an award! Get behind us, Bang Fam! And we're banging on about the new 90's Vogue doco, and chef Ben Shewry's new memoir Uses for Obsession.
