THE WATCH: Emily In Paris Season 3
Welcome to this bonus episode of The Spill! This month we just had to talk about the show some people love to hate, and some people love to watch over and over again on an endless loop...which of course is Emily In Paris, season three on Netflix. In this episode, we talk through the biggest plot twists from the latest season, and why some of them happened last minute, the best and worst characters (yes there is an official ranking), and where the show is going next. Of course, we also talk though through the ludicrous fashions, the real-life hair decision that changed the course of the show, and an unpopular opinion about the main love story.

Em Rata & The Shame Of Public Dating
On the show today... Julia Fox has shared a very intimate look inside her home on TikTok and it’s gone viral, but everyone is focusing on the wrong aspect of her home to be stressed about. And Emily Ratajkowski has released a new episode of her podcast, detailing what it’s like to date in the public eye, her complicated feelings towards the paparazzi, rumours about her, and her thoughts on Taylor Swift. It’s an interesting look into the mechanics of dating as a celebrity, but not quite as relatable as she’d like us to think. And it’s Weekend Watch time! Today we have a superhero show with a very adult twist to recommend to you, along with an addictive new murder mystery.

The Famous Women The Oscars Rejected
On the show today... The Razzies nominations have arrived 'celebrating' the worst releases in Hollywood this year, and we are floored by the A-listers who made the unfortunate cut. And the highly anticipated biopic of music legend Madonna has been scrapped (but the joke is on you if you thought this movie was ever going to happen). Plus, the Oscars nominations are here! So we need to dig into the biggest snubs and surprises, including some very famous names that were left off the list. We also talk about the history-defining nominations that appeared on the list and why a particular type of movie is finally being recognized.

Blake Lively's Biggest Failure
On the show today… Kylie Jenner has finally shared her son's name nearly a year after his birth, confirming that the baby formerly known as Wolf is now called Aire, but there's been a bit of backlash to it. And the Sundance Film Festival took place over the weekend, premiering a bunch of prestigious new movies and bringing together some A-List celebrities. But all anyone can talk about is Dakota Johnson and a cannibal joke. Plus, Blake Lively has given an interview about her new drinks brand, and in has shared what it was really like behind the scenes of her biggest business failure (just quietly we know Anna Wintour is to blame). But is it helpful when celebrities share their worst moments or just another type of privilege?

Here’s everything you need to know. And a viral video of Britney Spears acting “manic” in a restaurant has been doing the rounds, adding to the growing online conspiracy theories that the singer is either being held captive, filming on a green screen, or, in the more extreme cases, dead and replaced by a clone. Everyone from Sam Asghari to Paris Hilton have now weighed in on the headlines and theories, but the story behind it all is far from glamorous. Plus, it’s the first Weekend Watch for 2023! And we’re starting the year off with a bang because we have a buzzy new TV show and a controversial blockbuster movie to recommend to you.

Should This New Channing Tatum Interview Even Exist?
On the show today… Meryl Streep is officially joining season three of Only Murders In The Building and we just have a few questions about the way Selena Gomez announced it on TikTok. Plus, a recent episode of The Bachelors has introduced a polyamorous relationship via one of Felix’s chosen ladies and it’s opened up a conversation around how topics like this can actually play out on reality TV. And Channing Tatum is Vanity Fair’s new cover star, with an accompanying interview that goes into his retreat from the spotlight, his divorce from Jenna Dewan, and an awkward social media moment with Zoe Kravitz. But it’s really the introduction to the interview that we need to unpack because it’s something our eyeballs maybe should not have seen.
