    A Diva's guide to Appreciating Trash Cinema | Ep 65 | Okay Diva Podcast

    Trashy movies, B-grade cinema, creature features, and the eternal question: is Sharknado art? Episode 65 is Sam and Brock get into the most beloved, deranged, low-budget films ever made. It starts with Forbidden Fruits (With Lily Reinhardt, whoserole on "Riverdale really was her Juilliard"), spirals into whethercreature features are the pinnacle of trash cinema, takes a detour through The Killer Condom, Rubber The Killer Tyre, Velocipasta, Leprechaun, Cocaine Bear and a knock-off Disney list that makes no sense, and ends with a passionaten defence of the Real Housewives of Melbourne as legitimate Australian cinema. Brock watched all five Sharknados in one weekend. We also debate whether Batman and Robin, Pirates of the Caribbean and Donnie Darko count as trash. And of course, how can we talk trashy movies without bringing up the icon Abby Lee Miller, yes lowkey a terrible person, but an incredible diva. Too many iconic moments. Too many.

    Anne Hathaway's Generational Film Run: A Diva Deep-Dive | Ep 63 | Okay Diva Podcast

    The fiercest celebrity comeback moment of the year: Anne Hathaway's generational run on the silver screen, coming in swinging with five film releases in 2026 alone: Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, and Verity. Beautiful, talented and showstopping as always but is there something else going on…? Why now? Why so many? What's the reason? We ask all the hard-hitting questions about our DIVA. This episode is a full breakdown of Anne Hathaway's film career; all the way back to the beginning, we're unpacking which movies of hers raised us from foetus to fierce sis and open the floor to question what her most impactful character has been to date. We rank her entire filmography through moans cause she's hot, it makes sense gurl. Princess Diaries, Hoodwinked, Ella Enchanted, The Devil Wears Prada, Interstellar, Brokeback Mountain, Ocean's Eight, Alice in Wonderland and more, every era covered, every film rated, every hot take aired. We also get into why Anne disappeared for a while, why The Witches felt like the beginning of the end, and why 2026 is her comeback, she disappeared for a bit but has come back with five films in a single year including Christopher Nolan's epic. We discuss whether Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway look the same from behind, and whether Hoodwinked is the single most important film ever made for a child's development. It is. That's not up for debate. And naturally we reveal all the personal lore attached to her, you'll want to get into it. Is this Anne's most iconic moment of her career? Or is something else going down with our diva? Drop your take below.

    So Gay, So Bae, So Tony T, Brisbane's Most Fab Radio Host | Ep 62 | Okay Diva Pod

    This week the Divas finally have professional HOMOSEXUAL Tony T on the couch; Brisbane radio host, Bay FM LEGEND, creative director of Bay Pride and host of the ICONIC So Bae Party Mix (Sunday nights 6-10 on Bay FM 100.3). This episode covers the full story of Bay Pride; how Tony pitched it to Wynnum Fringe on a whim, expected 50 people, got 5,500, and got protested by a chopped group carrying a Virgin Mary statue through a children's playground. Diva the horrific ankle-length beige outfits were genuinely mortifying, scarring more children than anything the gays were doing. We also get into So Bae Party Mix and how to slide Trixie Mattel into a Saturday morning rock show without anyone noticing (radio is not a visual medium babe, but it is divalicious), the Drag Race Down Under Debrief podcast origin story, our favourite sleep paralysis demon Bianca Del Rio, and the Drag Roast recap featuring Thorgy, William, Raja and Kween Kong.Plus: Pop World opening night review, the Trixie Motel honeymoon, a midnight Rocky Horror screening in LA, Willam's balls framed above the dirty laundry, and the philosophy that separates people who have ideas from the people who actually build them.Were you at Bay Pride?

    The Scene, The Stage and The SMELL of Drag Ft.. Vyse Versa | Ep 60 | Okay Diva Podcast

    Welcome back to the divalicious Aussie pod - Okay Diva and this week we finally have drag and burlesque queen Vyse Versa on the couch! The diva we've been trying to book since we started having guests. Worth the wait. They walked in with an evil laugh they've been training to do in everyday conversation and we were immediately in love. Vyse is a drag and burlesque performer based in Brisbane who came up through an acting degree, graduated, looked around, and decided that a different stage was calling their name. They found burlesque, took one class, and was performing as a soloist within months. The rest is rhinestones. They break down how drag and burlesque combine into something completely their own, the difference between the two communities, and what it felt like to host at Clutch West End in front of a circle of screaming queers and feel completely in their element. We also get into Vyse's genuinely undefeated hot takes: AI in creative spaces is evil and will not be tolerated (seeing an AI generated bio at the Tootie is busted af), and performers need to be aware of how they smell. Clock it girl. Vyse is coming up on some massive milestones: competing at the Australian Burlesque Festival in Melbourne for the first time, and hosting Altimate Tootie at The Brightside. They also gives flowers to their burlesque mother, the incomparable Mara Maraschino, as diva of their life and the woman who taught them what diva actually means. Follow Vyse Versa on Instagram @and.vyse.versa and catch them at tootie the last Friday of every month at Hello Gorgeous.

    Ariana Grande Messaged Her Impersonator & We Have Thoughts | Ep 59 | Okay Diva Podcast

    One of the most quietly fascinating celebrity moments of the year: Ariana Grande personally messaging her impersonator Paige Nieman to tell her she's beautiful as herself without all the makeup trying to make her face look like someone else's. Sweet or shady? We genuinely cannot decide. This episode is a full breakdown of the Ariana Grande and Paige Nieman situation — what Ariana actually said, whetherit was a genuine act of kindness or a very polite cease and desist, and why the whole thing raises bigger questions about celebrity impersonation culture in 2026. We discuss where the line is between a talent and an obsession, why impersonating someone as a stage act hits differently to building an entire social media career on looking like someone else, and whatit actually means when your most famous quality is that you resemble another person. We also get into the impersonation vs biopic debate and why embodying a real person who already exists is a completely different skill set to playing a character, whether biopics evencount as impersonation, and what happens when you get so good at being someone else that people stop being able to tell the difference. Plus: Paige looks more like Ariana did five years ago than Ariana does now, and that raises questions everyone’safraid of. And then naturally we spiral into Sam's Jennifer Coolidge impression that he has tragically lost, the Michael Jacksonimpersonator who spends his days judging other people's Michael Jackson impressions on the street, and the full philosophical question of what you do with your life when your talent is being someone else. Was Ariana being kind or was she being shady? And should celebrities be able to ask people to stop impersonatingthem?

    Caboolture To Curtain Call: Actor Frankie On Eshays & Dating | Ep 58 | Okay Diva Podcast

    Frankie Kershaw is an actor, a writer, an eshay whisperer, and the girl whose mum became Debbie Ryan's spa bestie so Frankie didn't have to introduce herself at the meet and greet. She is the main character of her own life and has been since grade five when no teacher could tell her what to do and she has never once considered changing that. This episode goes from Disney programs at 13, to eshay short films, to whether men should pay for dinner (they should, it's a safety tax, end of discussion), to the manosphere. We cover it all honey. Frankie is currently writing an eshay short film where a Victorian era woman who time travels into a Caboolture eshay's house (and we need it made immediately). She dropped the hottest diva take on first dates we've ever heard on this pod: men paying for dinner isn't chivalry, it's a safety tax. You're a deer sitting with a lion. The least he can do is cover the meal. From there we go deep into the manosphere, black pill ideology, why the incel pipeline is genuinely terrifying when you look at it closely, and what it actually feels like when someone on a date is mirroring you versus actually showing up as themselves. Frankie clocked manipulative tendencies in her own past and course corrected. We love the self awareness. We love her. Men paying for dinner: chivalry or safety tax? Drop your take below. Frankie Kershaw is an actor and writer based in Brisbane.
