A clip of his dissing ballet and opera has the arts world in a spin, and Bree has the direct tea from the Australian Opera group chats.

We go inside the high-security briefing for his new album to break down the sonically different sound. We also discuss his bizarre choice to ditch traditional music PR for covers of Runner’s World and Better Homes and Gardens, and why he’s prioritizing live "moments" over beating Taylor Swift’s chart records.

Weekend Watch: A Monster Movie You Need To See & The Return Of Godzilla
First, the monster movie that’s split critics right down the middle. It’s brutal, strangely beautiful and far more emotional than you expect — with performances that will absolutely give you something to argue about in the group chat.Then, season two of a series that chronicles the re emergence of Godzilla is finally here, delivering bigger battles, sharper character drama and the kind of spectacle that makes you wish your TV was the size of a cinema screen.Plus, we’ve started the new origin story about a very famous teenage detective — and it’s moodier, darker and far more dramatic than you’d think. Three very different vibes. One very stacked weekend.THE END BITSLove binge-watching TV?
