Bang On triple j

Wow it’s been a week aye! A man was swallowed by a whale AND did a Reddit AMA about it. Then the Westminster Dog Show is back and Wasabi the Pekingese is not the only winner.

Meanwhile Batman apparently doesn’t go downtown. We have questions.

An old boys club wants to keep it that way; should the Australia Club and other networking organisations be able to discriminate against half the population?

Speaking of women who have broken through, Julie Bishop has been immortalised as a Barbie, while butts are literally breaking through a new pair of Savage Fenty leggings.

And a brilliant editorial video on the day Facebook ruined the internet has us thinking back to the Geocities era.

Screen time is up this week too, as we bang on about Stan series Eden, and head to the cinema for Cruella.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, work, and learn.

The meme machine has been in overdrive this week, with Lorde dropping new visual clues on her new music, and Gladys pretending to watch the rugby. It’s what we need in these lockdown times, thank you, the internet.

A beautiful piece on senior singles has us contemplating the importance of different kinds of relationships with others, and ourselves.

And a long read on the absence of women in visual art has got us finding our own black spot of understanding.

Crocs have had a cracker this week too, with not one but two high profile collabs being revealed.

And we’re watching a lot, including the new heist show on SBS, The Unusual Suspects, and Hacks starring the incredible Jean Smart.

Plus, it’s a bang bonus! Stick around till the very end as we debrief on Mare of Easttown, by popular demand.

A tennis champion’s decision to not partake in press conferences has got everyone talking, and it raises questions again about old ways falling, and respecting mental health, rising.

Channel 9’s vaccination push has hit a bung note for everyone who doesn’t have straight blonde hair, and the internet is ablaze with millennial Bo Burnham’s new Netflix special, shot through the pandemic last year.

Meanwhile as Myf and Zan continue Lockdown 4.0, there’s plenty to watch and read.

Myf is loving a new show on SBS called Creamerie, while Zan is whipping through Tracey Thorn's book My Rock n’ Roll Friend.

Well what a week it’s been. An all night party at Taika Waititi’s Sydney pad has tongues wagging, meanwhile the Bachelorette is Bi, and men and women will battle it out for her affections.

Reconciliation Week has kicked off, and we reflect on the fight for Indigenous recognition and non-Indigenous Australia’s responsibilities in moving forward.

Sinéad O’Connor has penned a memoir, and spoken with the New York Times about how she saw everything unfold in the early part of her career.

And some short reads on revenge bedtime procrastination and adult apartments have us screaming in agreeance and shame all at once.

Meanwhile Myf is banging on about the Tina Turner doco, and Zan is bathing in public art.

A new TV series on Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s whirlwind romance has Courtney Love calling b******t, and us thinking about how we witness other people’s trauma as entertainment.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues, but it feels as though more people are publicly speaking out about it. We think about what has changed.

A spirited defence of Keanu Reeves has us fist pumping, especially Myf who has had a front row seat to this screen angel’s chill vibe.

And as the mercury drops across the nation, it’s Puffa season. But where did this shapeless cloud coat even come from. We explain.

Meanwhile Myf is lapping up the fashion bio-series on Halston, and Zan is all about the self-love with Rosa’s Wedding.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, work, and learn.

We’re making sense of the world around us once again, including why Matt Damon is hanging out at a TAB, and whether Ben Affleck and J-Lo are having a red hot go at it again.

There’s a Cheugy update and it relates to NFT’s. Don’t worry, we’ll explain.

Extensive research into the harassment, assault, and disrespect of women in Australia’s music industry is in the news again, and while it feels like the volume is being turned up we wonder if and when the reckoning will happen in our local scene.

Meanwhile, Myf is snacking on a new series about a reformed girl group called Girls5eva, while Zan is finally getting around to one of Myf’s recommends from last year.
