It's been a large week, and Myf and Zan are here to take you into a happy place, and make sense of the sillier side of the internet. Much to celebrate too, as Double J turns 10 and a house party is planned. We're setting the homework for our Brissie Bang On Live too, so make sure you're up to speed.
The defamation trial brought by Bruce Lehrmann has ended, and we reflect on the outcome, the process, what's left behind.
Coachella's first weekend has brought plenty to the social media feed, and we dive into all the random surprises in the desert. And a new podcast series from Courtney Love has been getting attention for all the wrong (and predictable) reasons.
As the reviews roll in for Back to Black, Laura Snapes has a particular gripe about the Amy Winehouse narrative that Zan is behind 100%. And get ready for even more music biopics, as we left you know what's in production (including some breaking news).
The Willy Wonka experience continues to give us life; it's now on tour to Los Angeles and Zack Galifianakis is on board to boot! And it's Olympic FARSHUN week with Australia's official kit revealed. What message does it send the world?
Big week! We're also banging on about Netflix movie "Scoop" and excellent podcast series "The Gatekeepers".
