On the show today… It’s our last daily show of 2022 and to celebrate, we’re doing things a little differently today. We put the call out to Spillers to send in their juiciest questions for us to answer and they did not disappoint. On today’s show, we talk through our best and worst celebrity interviews and encounters, how we deal with criticism about the show, and a few behind-the-scenes stories about what goes into making a daily podcast. Thanks for being with us this year, we'll be back with daily episodes in 2023!

On the show today… It’s been confirmed that Taylor Swift has been officially knocked out of the Oscars race for her music video All Too Well, but in a surprise twist she could be taking home a different Academy Award. Plus, Lana Del Rey has a new album coming out and she is promoting it via a single billboard, in the town where her ex-boyfriend lives. There’s a whole backstory to Lana’s actions, and some of it has to do with a PR strategy. And the first trailer for the upcoming TV special Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians has been released and we have some strong thoughts about the show profiteering off Khloe Kardashian’s name. But what’s even more interesting is who is making and screening the documentary behind the scenes.

On the show today… The Love Island Australia 2022 finale took place last night and one happy couple was voted the most in love/most likely to now find fame on Instagram. As reality TV finales go it was pretty standard, until a basket of eggs was brought out. And this month marks the 25th anniversary of Titanic and with James Cameron and Kate Winslet, both currently on the promotional trail for the new Avatar film, some wild stories about the making of the boat movie are starting to emerge. And it’s the viral magazine cover everyone is talking about. New York Magazine’s Nepo-Babies story has opened up a whole new conversation about the tiers of fame in the entertainment industry, but some nepo-babies are now viciously fighting back.

On the show today… In movie news, the first trailer for Christopher Nolan's next film Oppenheimer is here. The film is highly anticipated with a stacked cast, but we're very excited about the box office showdown it's promising. Plus, Amber Heard has announced she has agreed to a legal settlement of her multimillion-dollar US defamation case with former husband Johnny Depp. Here's everything you need to know. And you will have heard the name 'Jeremy Clarkson' a lot recently, in regards to a very disturbing column about Meghan Markle. Now, Clarkson has issued a weak apology, but the whole story has vindicated Prince Harry and Meghan's concerns, and is an example of a much wider issue involving men building media careers out of tearing people down.

On the show today… In TV news, The Project has revealed its full lineup of new hosts for 2023, following the departures of Carrie Bickmore, Lisa Wilkinson, and Peter Helliar. Here’s who you’ll see sitting at the desk next year. Plus, the first trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie, has been released and it surprisingly has ties to a pretty traumatic and famous sci-fi movie. It’s not the mash-up we were expecting, but now we have a pretty good idea of how the movie’s plot will unfold. And the whole world was cooing over the weekend after we got our first glimpse at Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s new baby boy. But now the real story of why the image was shared has come to light, and it says something pretty dark about where paparazzi culture is going.

On the show today… It’s the Hollywood twist we didn’t see coming. Henry Cavill left the blockbuster Netflix franchise The Witcher and was then meant to reprise his role as Superman. But this week it’s been revealed the Superman franchise is moving forward without him. Let’s unpack exactly what happened. And the final three episodes in Netflix’s Harry and Meghan documentary series have been released into the world. As expected they were laden with some serious revelations about the royal family, including naming one villain in the story surrounding Harry and Meghan walking away from their senior roles. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! On today’s show, we have a new romantic comedy and a celebrated drama series based on a wild true story to recommend to you.
