Bang On #264: Beyoncé’s Renaissance film, U2’s Sphere, Stevie Nicks’ Barbie
Myf and Zan are frothing at the news that Beyoncé will bring her Renaissance tour to the big screen; we share what we know so far. In Vegas, U2 are putting on their own show. In a sphere. We review it (without having seen it).
Stevie Nicks is being immortalised as a Barbie, and it’s “goodbye girl boss, hello snail girl” as some women switch their priorities from hustle to hammock. And at Paris Fashion week there’s much bravery and courage as women ditch the make-up and stop getting their roots done.
Bang On has been obsessed with bears of late, and it continues this week cos it’s officially Fat Bear Week! Where Myf goes with this one, you have to hear.
And we’re banging on about the Sentimental Garbage podcast, and season 3 of Only Murders in the Building.
