And those up for the job could be forced into an intensive bootcamp led by Madonna. We’re talking singing, acting, and 11-hour dance sessions to answer one question; Is anyone good enough to take on the Material Girl? Plus, A tiny, tiny skirt has taken over the Internet, but how do we react when teenagers want to wear it?  And our best and worst of the week, which include floods, miserable movies and… cats.

Subscribe to Mamamia for unlimited access to Mamamia Out Loud Is International Women's Day Cancelled? An Instagram post from Abbie Chatfield has got us wondering what it is we actually want from IWD. Plus, Hollywood maths is nonsense. Actor Emmy Rossum, who is 35, has been cast as the mother of Tom Holland, who is 25, in an upcoming TV show. Why are women playing the mothers of men who are basically the same age and is it… sexist? And, the reality TV conversation that sparked a storm about the way women speak.  The End Bits: Recommendations: Mia wants you to watch A Moody Christmas, Holly thinks you should check out Starstruck season 2 and Fisk, all on ABC iView Join Holly and Mia for Bec Sparrow's Flood Relief Fundraiser here Sign up to the Out Loud newsletter here Follow us on Instagram @mamamiaoutloud CREDITS Hosts: Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright, Susan Carland Producer: Emma Gillespie Audio Producer: Leah Porges CONTACT US Via our PodPhone on 02 8999 9386 Via our email at outloud@mamamia.com.au  Via our Outlouders Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/329632330777506/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

Australia’s Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has COVID. We’re not doing a segment on that though, because it is so far from the biggest story in the country right now. In fact, it’s been relegated to a quick headline at the bottom of most news sites. If anything though, it signifies a massive shift in how we think, and talk, about COVID. Have we lost all patience? Plus, it’s 2022, we’re getting back in the skies and apparently, we still want to make flight attendants wear heels and make-up. And our fascination with pregnant celebrities - what does it tell us about the bodies we ‘allow’ to be visible in the world?
