#288: Nicole Kidman, Jerry Seinfeld, Cosmopolitan

Whoosh, it's been a big week and a half and we're here to make sense of it for you and provide a bit of respite. The exhaustion and anger felt by women in the last couple of weeks can't go unmentioned, and we share our thoughts about this endless, frustrating conversation around women's right to live safely.Cosmopolitan magazine is making a return as an actual glossy, our Nicole has just made history in America, and Myf is vindicated by the public's feelings on the perfect movie length.Jerry Seinfeld has joined the ranks of blokes of a certain age with opinions on political correctness, so we're going to match him by giving our thoughts on Unfrosted. Yep, his Netflix film on Pop Tarts is also your homework for the Sydney Bang On Live show, fam.Apparently there's a bunch of people who don't shower daily, or even weekly, and Zan is fascinated. And socks and sandals (also jandals) are making a big comeback! So are piss stained jeans. It's FARSHUN.We farewell a literary giant in Paul Auster, and we're banging on about a brilliant read from Anna Funder, Wifedom, and a fun watch on Bon Jovi.

#286: Coachella, Courtney Love, Scoop

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".Show notes:Double J turns 10: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/doublej/music-reads/music-news/double-j-10th-birthday-party/103731046Challengers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VobTTbg-te0Julia Baird on the Lehrmann case: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-16/bruce-lehrmann-defamation-case-culture-war-shameful-episode/103728572Annabel Crabb on the Lehrmann judgement: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-17/annabel-crabb-lehrmann-judgment-a-lesson-in-shades-of-grey/1037290101800 Respect: https://www.1800respect.org.au/Lifeline: https://www.lifeline.org.au/Coachella: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-15/coachella-2024-moments-no-doubt/103708604Courtney Love: https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/courtney-love-bbc-6-music-interview-taylor-swift-b1151094.htmlCourtney Love's women: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001y3rrLaura Snapes on Back to Black: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/12/its-a-grotesque-insult-for-back-to-black-to-suggest-amy-winehouse-died-of-heartache-over-her-childlessnessMusic biopics: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-18/bob-marley-amy-winehouse-beatles-movies-music-biopics-boom/103735628Willy Wonka experience in LA: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/10/glasgow-willy-wonka-chocolate-experience-recreated-los-angelesAustralia's Olympic uniforms: https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/australia-s-olympic-uniforms-go-for-gold-by-ditching-the-green-20240404-p5fhbs.htmlScoop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZcHc3zEEocThe Gatekeepers: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-gatekeepers/id1728044298Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://www.abc.net.au/abceventsBang On merch: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

#285: Back to Black, Sam Mostyn, Gen Z are Charlottes

Myf and Zan are back with the week in music, art, life, and stuff and we've got it all this week! The new Amy Winehouse biopic comes out today, and Zan has had a sneak preview. So, what's the verdict?It's a big week for art, as we catch up on the MONA Museum court ruling for their Ladies Lounge. Over in Munich, another artist is trying his hand at disruption, and we love this fella's energy in hanging his own piece next to the greats.Sex and the City has landed on Netflix and so have the hot takes on whether Gen Z can handle it. We've sifted through them all to find our favourite. And speaking of FARSHUN, Zendaya is owning the red carpet (on grass, clay, and hardcourt) for her new film Challengers.And we're banging on about some good reads from The School of Life, and Annabel Crabb's brilliant editorial on the appointment of Sam Mosytn as Governor General.Show notes:MONA's Ladies Lounge ruling: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-09/mona-loses-bid-to-exclude-men-from-ladies-lounge/103687390German museum: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/09/german-art-museum-fires-worker-for-hanging-his-own-painting-in-galleryGen Z are Charlottes: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/apr/05/sex-and-the-city-netflixBack to Black: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/09/her-demons-were-probably-worse-does-back-to-black-reveal-the-real-amy-winehouseYasmin Jeffery on Back To Black: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-11/back-to-black-amy-winehouse-biopic-review/103691974Amy Documentary: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/amyZendaya's tennis farshun: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/fashion/fashion-news/g60429517/zendaya-challengers-tour-wardrobe/The School of Life: https://www.theschooloflife.com/Annabel Crabb on Sam Mostyn: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-10/sam-mostyn-governor-general-viceregal-drama/103686858Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://www.abc.net.au/abceventsBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
