A Brutally Honest Review Of Kim Kardashian’s Legal Drama All's Fair
The time has come. The first season of Ryan Murphy’s legal drama Alls Fair has come to an end and we desperately need to talk about it.For better or worse (and a lot of people will say worse) this has been one of the most talked about shows of the year, after dismal viewers and then record breaking audience numbers.So now we need to honestly critique Kim Kardashian’s acting performance in her first lead role and dissect the scenes in this over the top drama that had us both screaming and laughing (and not always for the right reasons).From the glorious fashion, to the significance of the guest stars and the award winning actresses who actually came through, here’s everything we can finally say about Alls Fair. If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — the National Sexual Assault, domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service.THE END BITSLove binge-watching TV?

Why Beyonce Really Came Out Of Hiding & The Mistress Calling Out Lily Allen
After a ten-year hiatus, Beyonce is finally returning to the Met Gala - but the timing is suspicious. We’re digging into the theory that she’s been brought in to "save" the event from its recent tech-billionaire rebrand and what her return means for the fashion hierarchy.Plus the woman who inspired Lily Allen’s hit song "West End Girl" has broken her silence, accusing the singer of spinning a false narrative that’s led to serious harassment. We break down the fallout from Lily's new music and why the internet is letting the famous husband at the centre of the scandal off the hook.And Amy Schumer has officially confirmed she’s divorcing Chris Fischer. After months of tabloid speculation about her weight loss and their marriage, here’s why her chaotic, joke-filled confirmation was actually a masterclass in controlling the narrative.THE END BITSLove binge-watching TV?

The 6 Life Changing Movies Every Woman Should Watch Before The New Year
We have a list of movies that could genuinely change your life before the new year — but fair warning, Laura and Em interpreted this brief very differently, so buckle up for emotional whiplash.From picks of pure whimsy to surprisingly sharp lessons about figuring out what you actually want in life... this list has something for everyone. One even prompts the girls to dive into the panic and poetry of hitting a certain milestone age, sending both hosts spiralling (in a cute way) about nostalgia, pressure and reflecting on how far they've come.And of course… a few rogue curveballs no one asked for but somehow make perfect sense. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, and might just give you the exact movie you need to watch before the clock hits midnight.THE END BITS Our podcast Watch Party is out now, listen on Apple or Spotify.
