#169 Cheugy, Billie Eilish, Drag Race Down Under

We have a new word and we’re not afraid to use, or be it. Are you a little bit cheugy too?

Everyone has an opinion on Billie Eilish’s transformation (including us it seems), and we’re loving the arrival of Ru Paul’s Drag Race Down Under. Especially the swears!

Britney Spears has spoken directly to her followers about those documentaries, and Ben Affleck is being ghosted online.

Meanwhile the Bang Box overfloweth with suggestions for us to check out a very particular dress, and we’re banging on about a new SBS series on domestic abuse, and Kate Winslet’s incredible turn in Mare of Easttown.
