    #287: Taylor's TTPD, Troye's Bowl, Baby Reindeer

    Myf and Zan are back with our recap of the week in music, art, life, and stuff and all boxes are ticked this week. The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame have announced their 2024 inductees; hear who made it, who didn't, and who cares.

    ICYMI Taylor Swift released a new album, then another one a couple of hours later. And there's a lot of conjecture on TTPD. We debrief on the conversations around music's most famous billionaire.

    David Beckham has gifted the internet with a Spice Girls reunion and isn't he chuffed about it? And a new release from Troye Sivan's homewares range has everyone talking.

    Speaking of art, a huge scale incredible work from Kamilaroi Bigambul artist Archie Moore has just taken out the top prize at the Venice Biennale! And 30 years on, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is getting a sequel.

    We've set homework for our Brissie Bang On Live shows too, and we're banging on about new series Baby Reindeer and Italian film La Chimera.

    Bonus Bang! One Day

    Myf and Zan are on the road, taking Bang On to towns and cities across the country with Bang On Live.

    They’re setting homework for audiences everywhere they go and in Bendigo they debriefed on the Netflix series ‘One Day’ starring Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod.

    Get ready to hear about all the tears, tunes, nostalgia and spoilers…

    #286: Coachella, Courtney Love, Scoop

    #286: Coachella, Courtney Love, Scoop

    It's been a large week, and Myf and Zan are here to take you into a happy place, and make sense of the sillier side of the internet. Much to celebrate too, as Double J turns 10 and a house party is planned. We're setting the homework for our Brissie Bang On Live too, so make sure you're up to speed.

    The defamation trial brought by Bruce Lehrmann has ended, and we reflect on the outcome, the process, what's left behind.

    Coachella's first weekend has brought plenty to the social media feed, and we dive into all the random surprises in the desert. And a new podcast series from Courtney Love has been getting attention for all the wrong (and predictable) reasons.

    As the reviews roll in for Back to Black, Laura Snapes has a particular gripe about the Amy Winehouse narrative that Zan is behind 100%. And get ready for even more music biopics, as we left you know what's in production (including some breaking news).

    The Willy Wonka experience continues to give us life; it's now on tour to Los Angeles and Zack Galifianakis is on board to boot! And it's Olympic FARSHUN week with Australia's official kit revealed. What message does it send the world?

    Big week! We're also banging on about Netflix movie "Scoop" and excellent podcast series "The Gatekeepers".

    Bonus Bang! Tom Gleeson

    Myf and Zan are smack bang in the middle of their national tour, so this week we’re throwing back to where it all kicked off in Adelaide.

    Their special guest was self-proclaimed Bang Fam hype man Tom Gleeson who talked about why he reckons Adelaide's having a big joke behind Australia’s back.

    Get ready to learn all about bin night, find out what a ‘man-bang’ is and hear Tom bang on about Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.

    #285: Back to Black, Sam Mostyn, Gen Z are Charlottes

    Myf and Zan are back with the week in music, art, life, and stuff and we've got it all this week! The new Amy Winehouse biopic comes out today, and Zan has had a sneak preview. So, what's the verdict?

    It's a big week for art, as we catch up on the MONA Museum court ruling for their Ladies Lounge. Over in Munich, another artist is trying his hand at disruption, and we love this fella's energy in hanging his own piece next to the greats.

    Sex and the City has landed on Netflix and so have the hot takes on whether Gen Z can handle it. We've sifted through them all to find our favourite. And speaking of FARSHUN, Zendaya is owning the red carpet (on grass, clay, and hardcourt) for her new film Challengers.

    And we're banging on about some good reads from The School of Life, and Annabel Crabb's brilliant editorial on the appointment of Sam Mosytn as Governor General.

    Bonus Bang! Anyone But You

    The Bang On live tour continues! And recently in Perth, Myf and Zan recapped the blockbuster rom com ‘Anyone But You’.

    They’ve got thoughts: on plot holes, nudity, unexpected c-words, controversial bra strap placement and much more…
