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?

What The Hell Is Going On With The MAFS Women?
The original Scary Movie cast is officially back, and we’re unpacking why this reboot is the elder millennial nostalgia hit we didn't know we needed. From Anna Faris and Regina Hall returning to their iconic roles to the Wayans brothers reclaiming the franchise, we break down the "past my prime" narrative that previously sidelined these stars.Then, we have to talk about Married At First Sight Australia. Between a resurfaced video of Joel drumming with sex toys and the "vicious" dinner party showdown over his childhood teddy bear, the experiment has reached a whole new level of chaos. We’re debating whether Juliet’s reaction was a proportionate response or a total overreaction, and why the "Bear-gate" debate is currently taking over every group chat in the country.Is it a sign of a “quirky star" trying too hard, or are we just witnessing the most bizarre deal-breaker in reality TV history?
