Bang On

Myf wakes Zan up at a ridiculous hour in Germany, where she’s been busy trying to get into all the coolest clubs, before she begins her judging duties for the ANCHOR – Reeperbahn Festival International Music Award. We celebrate Hannah Gadsby’s Emmy win while questioning how Beyonce missed out on six awards. As well, suggested new rules for dealing with trolls have us thinking about the best way to deal with nastiness online. And of course we do what everyone’s doing and throw our faces into Imagenet Roulette, with the appropriately inappropriate response.Berghain http://berghain.de/Beyonce snubbed at Emmy’s and her fans are upset: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/15/entertainment/creative-emmys-2019-beyonce-homecoming-trnd/index.htmlThe world stans Hannah Gadsby after her Emmy win and this is her response: https://twitter.com/Hannahgadsby/status/1173381950293381120Muting trolls is the future of social media: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/sep/16/stop-engaging-with-online-trolls-altogether-public-figures-sayImagenet Roulette:  https://imagenet-roulette.paglen.com/The Hunting: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/the-hunting?cx_cid=od:search:gg:convert:thehunting:v2:prog&gclid=CjwKCAjw5fzrBRASEiwAD2OSV-Y-SPYruYXLFdxMSBp-OtfEMnPDy4guLYwM5zbZGwlv22nEbEjmwxoCeMYQAvD_BwEHow to deal with "German Directness" https://www.dw.com/en/how-to-handle-german-directness-an-experts-guide-to-mastering-manners/a-47967311

Myf and Zan are dealing with another bad take by a repeat offender, and going in to bat for the chicken parma. A long read in The Cut has the internet ablaze, but why are we so thirsty for watching public take downs? And the unveiling of a statue of AFLW player Tayla Harris speaks for more than just one woman. We’re banging on about a gripping new podcast, and there’s some big Bang news to share with the Bang Fam too.Show notes:Chicken parma is the worst dish ever: https://www.goodfood.com.au/eat-out/news/chicken-parma-is-the-worst-dish-ever--heres-why-20190909-h1huphIn defence of the chicken parma: https://www.goodfood.com.au/eat-out/news/adam-liaw-writes-in-defence-of-the-chicken-parma-20190911-h1hxi9I Was Caroline Calloway: https://www.thecut.com/2019/09/the-story-of-caroline-calloway-and-her-ghostwriter-natalie.htmlTayla Harris statue: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/sep/11/tayla-harris-has-been-immortalised-in-bronze-it-is-a-win-for-womens-sportSnowball: https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/truecrime/snowball/Shrill: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/shrillHamburg: https://www.anchor-award.com/en/jury-2019Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

#122: Flume, Taylor vs Tool, Unwanted KissesMyf and Zan sink their teeth into another big week, and it’s a real peach. Flume has been setting the internet on fire with his antics at Burning Man, Taylor Swift fans don’t know or understand Tool and it’s a vibe. Meanwhile an unwanted kiss at a charity event sparks a conversation around the different greetings men and women receive, and the earliest invasions of personal space. And we have a fashion update. Oh yes we do.Flume: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/music-festivals/flume-performs-sex-act-on-stage-at-burning-man/news-story/a37474794c1d861e526c0fe34e7d3dd5Taylor Swift and Tool: https://junkee.com/taylor-swift-tool-fans/220788The Kiss: Let’s Revise the Rules of Engagement: https://www.smh.com.au/national/the-kiss-let-s-revise-the-rules-of-engagement-20190903-p52nmn.htmlBig Toe Heels: https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1167173538261995520Lana Del Rey: https://open.spotify.com/album/5XpEKORZ4y6OrCZSKsi46A?si=Ia7PiU_TQmWAZrzb3GS9CwSand Talk: https://www.textpublishing.com.au/books/sand-talkEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

What a smorgasbord of hot topics Myf and Zan have this week. The MTV VMA’s have given us eye candy for days, and peaked with two killer performances from legends, new and old. Someone has mapped and analysed Taylor Swift’s journey “London Boy”, and we’re here for it (and how much it’d cost), and a food video has taken things too far. Meanwhile the G7 is on, and the tenets of sexism are on full display with the leaders wives.Show notes:Missy Elliott at the VMA’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9I-ut1TXoATaylor’s London Boy song, mapped: https://twitter.com/EthanDuffmanB/status/1164960418688831489Pizzadilla: https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1165370248377393152G7 wives: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/aug/28/the-g7-was-the-final-straw-world-leaders-wives-should-refuse-to-travel-with-their-spousesBen Folds: A Dream About Lightning Bugs: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/594446/a-dream-about-lightning-bugs-by-ben-folds/9781984817273/Diary of an Uber Driver: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/diary-of-an-uber-driver

Myf and Zan start their week with a story about dogs watching musicals, and go from there. A piece on how podcasts are pitching products has us thinking about the creative (and sometimes insidious) ways brands are selling. And a conversation between Pharrell Williams and Billie Eilish has us punching our fists in the air for the present. Meanwhile the 200th anniversary of a dictionary strikes a chord, and Myf is banging on about ponies (up there with Paddle Steamers). Oh and we fall into an ASMR tangent.Show notes:Good boys: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/20/us/service-dogs-theater-canada-trnd/index.htmlWould You Like a Podcast With Those Fries: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/20/business/media/branded-podcasts.htmlBillie Eilish: https://vmagazine.com/article/v121-billie-eilish-by-pharrell-part-2/Convict Slang: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/aug/20/is-that-bum-trap-missing-a-flesh-bag-a-guide-to-australias-convict-slangOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeMaP8EPAAEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

Myf and Zan are back from Brisbane and still flying high after a Bang Fam reunion in the sunshine state. South Korea’s most famous boy band is taking a breather, and it marks a shift in how the industry treats it’s biggest stars. A piece on art feeding your soul in the age of social media has us jazzed… How can art touch your soul when your soul is busy posing on Instagram? And Myf is continuing on her Rupert Murdoch fix with another TV series.Show notes:BTS take a break: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/aug/12/love-yourself-more-k-pop-band-bts-take-extended-break-to-enjoy-life?CMP=Share_iOSApp_OtherArt and Soul: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/aug/13/how-can-art-touch-your-soul-when-your-soul-is-busy-posing-on-instagram?CMP=twt_a-culture_b-gdnausculture_c-au_g-3Virginia Trioli exits News Breakfast: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-15/virginia-trioli-on-abc-tv-and-news-breakfast-television/11407320Eric Avery: https://www.facebook.com/akooriviolin/Succession: https://www.hbo.com/successionEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

Myf and Zan finally make the pilgrimage to Brisvegas, for a special live recording of Bang On and boy howdy, do the Bang Fam show up! It’s our first date with Brissie so, with some help from the Guardian, we make all the right choices about etiquette. Tarantino’s latest epic hasn’t come out yet but – much like the internet – we’re here to dish some hot takes without having seen it. And a brilliant piece on the handbag being a weapon for the patriarchy has us absolutely razzed. Special guest Yumi Stynes drops by to bang on, as does Beryl! Oh what a night. Where would we be without our beautiful Bang Gang?Show notes:How To Eat On A First Date: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/aug/05/how-to-eat-on-a-first-date-to-make-sure-you-get-a-second-oneRequiem for White Men: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/03/opinion/sunday/trump-white-men.html“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and the Fantasy of Tarantino: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/once-a-time-hollywood-tarantinos-feminist-appeal-1229021Tarantino and the End of Hollywood As We Know It: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/aug/02/over-the-hills-quentin-tarantino-and-the-end-of-hollywood-as-we-know-itHandbags Are the Weapon of the Patriarchy: https://www.thecut.com/2019/07/if-men-carried-purses-would-they-clean-up-messes.htmlJapanese Ear Shovels: https://www.amazon.com/Oriental-Bamboo-Cleaning-Spoon-Q-tip/dp/B001DL7EKYThe Loudest Voice: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/the-loudest-voiceTaking a Break from Drinking: https://www.abc.net.au/life/why-im-giving-up-alcohol-for-a-year/10716540Everything is Better Without Alcohol: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/02/everything-is-better-without-alcohol-and-i-really-do-mean-everything-reader-relationships-with-drinking

With a new season of Queer Eye out, Myf and Zan are digging in and noticing shifts in the Fab Five’s approach to makeovers. A rant online about who should and shouldn’t be at Disneyworld has Zan worked up (and planning her next visit). Meanwhile the September issue of British Vogue has a guest editor who’s turning the focus on others. And we’re banging on about two Australian docos that have us reflecting back on who we are.Queer Eye: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-28/queer-eye-karamo-brown-gets-better-in-season-4/11338062Childless millennials going to Disneyworld is weird: https://nypost.com/2019/07/26/sorry-childless-millennials-going-to-disney-world-is-weird/Meghan Markle’s Vogue: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/shortcuts/2019/jul/29/why-meghan-markles-vogue-is-bang-on-trendWaltzing the Dragon: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/waltzing-the-dragon-with-benjamin-lawThe Australian Dream: https://www.madmanfilms.com.au/the-australian-dream/Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

You’re hot then you’re cold but you’re always bang on. It’s the end of an era for our Masterchef judges and we have some spicy takes on Matt, George, and Gary’s departure. We’re calling into question a “definitive list” of the best bikkies, and have more than a few queries about the movie trailer for Cats. And in 2019, do we really need the category of “world music”? Ahead of WOMAD in the UK, a great opinion piece sparks the convo once again.Masterchef: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-24/masterchef-george-calombaris-matt-preston-gary-mehigan/11341090Definitive ranking of Arnott’s Assorted: https://www.goodfood.com.au/eat-out/news/the-definitive-ranking-of-every-arnotts-assorted-biscuit-from-worst-to-very-best-20190719-h1gcv3Cats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_O8DN1CY_EFeline Questions: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/19/feline-queasy-10-urgent-questions-about-the-cats-trailerWorld Music: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jul/24/guardian-world-music-outdated-globalCrashing: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/crashingBoy Swallows Universe: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37558445-boy-swallows-universeEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au

#115: Princess Di, 007, ChernobylMyf and Zan are reunited after their respective Bali sojourns, and there is a LOT to catch up on. David Campbell truly believes his son is Princess Di reincarnated so there’s that. Meanwhile the internet is buzzing with a new 007 in town, and Lil Nas X checking in with Keanu and Dolly. We’re in front of the box too, banging on about tv shows hyped and hidden online.Show notes:Instagram hiding “likes”: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/instagram-hiding-likes/11318748David Campbell’s son is Diana: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/david-campbell-princess-diana-son-reincarnated/New 007: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/15/lashana-lynch-new-007-james-bond-daniel-craigLil Nas X and Keanu: https://news.avclub.com/lil-nas-x-yodeling-kid-and-keanu-reeves-storm-area-51-1836454570Dolly and Lil Nas: https://twitter.com/DollyParton/status/1151635738846355456Chernobyl: https://www.hbo.com/chernobylFlowers: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81040405Email us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au
