A Brutally Honest Review Of The Barbie Movie
On the show today ... We’re throwing out our normal episode structure in order to discuss a movie and pop culture moment that has derailed our lives recently. The Barbie movie is here and we have some pretty extreme thoughts about it. So now we need to chat through the funniest moments, the scenes we absolutely hated, the meaning behind a very emotional cameo, and whether or not the surprise ending really worked. From a debate about Ryan Gosling stealing the show, to a forgotten plot device and a need to dissect the movie's infamous monologue scene, join us to honestly review the Barbie movie.

An Unpopular Opinion About Florence Pugh’s Hair
On the show today ... The ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike has halted all movie and TV productions in Hollywood, but a few high-profile names have managed to find a loophole. Plus, Lily Allen has made some pretty serious allegations against a well-known UK entertainment reporter and it’s opened up a conversation around how she and other celebrity women were treated at the time. But the conversation is not completely in favour of Lily. And Florence Pugh is being called ‘groundbreaking and empowering’ for the story behind her new haircut, but there’s a piece of the story no one is acknowledging.
