    Beyoncé is Bang Fam and we have proof

    We're a US election free zone in this week's episode, so if you want a brain bath and a some silly duffa chat we are - as always - here if you need. And it's a huge week cos we think Beyoncé is Bang Fam?! Is she sending us messages via her Beylloween posts? Closer to home, an obituary has nailed it, and a questionable survey has us chatting interior design. Live, Laugh, Love. Moschino have backed up their baguette bag with a celery clutch and all we can say is TAKE OUR MONEY. And we're celebrating the life and legacy of the late great Quincy Jones.

    When Saoirse Ronan piped up we all heard it

    It's Halloween and we're ghoulishly making our way through the week that was. Myf's been in the presence of The Mescal, while Zan has been singing Khe Sanh with her dad. Janelle Monae is ET and we're patiently awaiting what Heidi Klum will unveil. One of the most viral videos of the week has us chatting too; Saoirse Ronan is all of us in that moment on Graham Norton's couch, trying to explain the realities women face to a bunch of nice guys. Mama Tina has a memoir, The Bear is The Boss, and Lily Allen is making more coin from her feet than her music. We'll unpack it all. Myf's brought in some truly heinous farshun for the holiday, and we're banging on about a great Aussie film and an excellent longread on Netflix.

    Why does everyone hate Lawrence?

    It's a real "because the internet" kinda week, and we're unpacking North West's $20k lol gift for her mum, Meryl and Martin's possible hard launch (thanks Steve), and the plight of Mickey the Cockatoo. A band called Lawrence are drawing attention on TikTok for their singer's huge wail, some people love it some people hate it, everyone is posting their reacs to it. Because the internet. Bieber's love of slippers as outdoors wear has infiltrated high farshun and we are here for cosy o'clock. And we're banging on about new series Rivals and Dan Levy's directorial debut Good Grief.

    Zan just realised The English Teacher is TJ Mack

    Myf and Zan are back to bring some light into your week, and Polly Jean Harvey is gonna help. Did you hear that Myf has the Prime Minister on her Spicks and Specks team this weekend too? She'll give you all the goss. Meanwhile Zan is punishing anyone who'll listen to watch The English Teacher - while also realising it's creator is also TJ Mack. It's a classic Gen X discovery of TikTok virality, a year too late. And a piece on "treat culture" and why giving yourself a fancy smoothie or mani/pedi is the new vacation, has us intrigued. If internet chat is too much this week, look up. It's Aussie Bird Count week and a reminder to get your head outta your phone. We're banging on about the Menendez Brothers series on Netflix 'Monsters', and a fascinating exploration into groupthink with the podcast Hysterical.

    The Met Gala theme is here and we're counting down to May 2025

    Breaking FARSHUN news; the Costume Institute has announced its 2025 exhibition which means we have our Met Gala theme and ooh boy are we pumped. In adjacent gallery news, the long held question "is this art?" has not been asked by a Dutch gallery worker. Whoopsies. Fat Bear Week has crowned its incumbent champion (we luv u Grazer), and a Qantas in-flight entertainment fail has us remembering the olden days of forced viewing. It's shaping up to be a big summer of music movies too, with Paul Kelly, Robbie Williams, Bob Dylan, and Pharrell all having their stories told in different ways. And we're banging on about a heartbreaking film you shouldn't watch on a plane, and the latest season of Slow Horses.

    Lady Gaga is a closet Kath & Kim fan

    Ok how many people googled "The Joker" song after seeing Gaga sing it this week? Myf and Zan are here to unpack the week that was, and investigate whether Lady Gaga is a hornbag for Kath & Kim's theme song. The courtroom saga of the MONA Ladies Lounge is the gift that keeps giving, and we debrief on the artist's win. And a great read in the New Yorker unpacks the trends, algorithms, and servitude we offer up to Instagram in our quest to be seen. Bit of coin chat this week too, and we've been nominated for an award! Get behind us, Bang Fam! And we're banging on about the new 90's Vogue doco, and chef Ben Shewry's new memoir Uses for Obsession.
