Pitch Perfect 3: Ciao, Bellas

Mamamia Reviews ·

2018/01/01

Listen up, Pitches. It’s time to say goodbye to our beloved Barden Bellas. But not before our favourite singing, dancing, pun-making franchise turns into an action flick! We had a lot of questions going in to Pitch Perfect 3. Can Ruby Rose actually sing? Will our most shipped couple Beclo ever get together? Can Rebel Wilson do action beyond horizontal running? And on a more serious note, do these movies have a problem with racism and stereotyping? Join Laura and Clare as they break down the

Can Suits Survive Without Meghan Markle?

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/12/25

Goodbye Rachel Zane, it was sweet while it lasted. With Meghan Markle flitting off to sip tea and wear crowns (or whatever the royals do) we’re deep diving into the tv show that made her a household name. With key players Rachel, Mike Ross and Jessica Pearson all leaving the legal drama, could this actually be the best thing that ever happened to Suits? The central storyline has always been Mike’s big secret, so what new characters and storylines will this make room for? And what will

Is Wolf Creek Season Two Just Too Gory?

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/12/18

What happens when a busload of tourists visit the Aussie outback and encounter the infamous Mick Taylor? A whole lot of murderous fun is what! Season two of Wolf Creek strayed into almost comedic territory but still managed to scare us silly with its suspense and brutal killing scenes. We speak to Tess Haubrich (Rebecca) about filming in the desert and what happened when the cast encountered a group of living and breathing tourists. (Spoiler - they survived!) Plus, we discuss why after two movies

The Biggest Lie The Crown Ever Told

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/12/12

We learnt a lot from season two of The Crown that you won’t find in the pages of a history book. For instance, the cream always comes before the jam on scones. Joining us on The Binge, Margaret herself - Vanessa Kirby - shares the alternate ending that you never got to see, describes the princess lessons she had to attend and shares the biggest acting challenge of her life - smoking 60 cigarettes a day. This season, Netflix's royal drama delved into the story of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II

Greenleaf is the Most Watched Drama on Netflix

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/12/04

Holy Oprah, how did we miss this gem? Netflix just released its most watched shows for 2017 and apparently Aussies can't get enough of this juicy religious drama. Starring and produced by TV royalty Oprah Winfrey, Greenleaf follows the unscrupulous world of the Greenleafs, a family teaming with scandals, secrets and lies. And while a show set in a church may sound fairly tame, don't be fooled - it has steamy infidelity, gradually revealed homosexuality and teen drug use without high-handed

Veronica Mars is the Smartest Teen Show Around

Be still our teenage hearts, we finally get to talk about the greatest detective show to ever grace our screens. And if you don’t know what we’re talking about, get your butts straight over to Stan, watch Veronica Mars, then report back for our deep dive. Join two diehard Marshmallows and one Veronica Mars rookie as we discuss the brilliant characters of this cult show, whether Veronica and Logan really were an epic love story, and how the sexual assault storylines eerily resemble the

There's a Major Plot Hole in The Sinner

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/11/20

The Sinner nailed everything Gypsy couldn't which is why this sleeper show is one of our favourites for the year. It’s eye-covering, sinfully good viewing, but there was one big plot hole that we need to break down. We deep dive on Jessica Biel’s acting chops and, more importantly, her fringe. Plus, the graphic moment that was even more unwatchable than the murder. And we’ve got all the news about season two of The Handmaid’s Tale, plus a well-timed departure for one of the

BONUS: Pimps, Scientologists and Riots with Louis...

2017/11/17

How do you watch someone in trouble and not extend your hand to help them? What scares a man who’s interviewed pimps, serial killers and neo-Nazis? These are just some of the questions we had for the best documentary maker of all time. Best known for his work on Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, Louis Theroux has a brand new series on the way called Dark States. Across the documentary series, Theroux visits three American cities and examines a uniquely devastating human crisis in each - heroin

If there's a giant, red Handmaid's Tale-shaped hole in your heart, Netflix is about to fill it. Alias Grace is an even darker Margaret Atwood adaption that will have you captivated from the start right through to the twisty, ambiguous ending.Plus, step into our 2018 TV crystal ball as we bring you all news from the Channel Ten upfronts.

Mindhunter, Riverdale and Mums on TV

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/11/06

Looking for your next true crime obsession? Mindhunter might just fill that void, but there's a problem with its treatment of women. And speaking of violence and darkness - when did it infiltrate teen dramas? We're four episodes deep in season two of Riverdale and trying to figure out how a show based on the wholesome Archie comics got so twisted. Plus, everyone is calling 2017 the year of women on TV but from SMILF to The Let Down and even The Handmaid's Tale, we think it's actually the year of

Stranger Things, Smilf & Alias Grace

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/10/30

The second season of Stranger Things was released on Friday and we spent the whole weekend watching it but was it worth the 15-month wait? Plus, if you can’t hold on for the second season of The Handmaid’s Tale - good news, Netflix has developed another Margaret Atwood classic Alias Grace, and it’s dropping later this month. And Stan released the first episode of Smilf three weeks early and we can’t wait to see the rest of the season... Show Notes This episode is hosted by

Bach Chat #8: Love is as Fickle as a Vasectomy

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/10/26

Just when our opinions about Jarrod finally shifted... It was too late. That was truly the dumping to end all dumpings. And we are not okay. Our cynical hearts momentarily thawed when Stu finally admitted his love for Sophie. But then our romantic sensibilities waned and we returned to our original stance. We just don’t buy it. We were impressed by the respectful way he handled questions about his ex and his playboy status though, so you get some points Stu. Treat her well. Shownotes Today's

2017/10/25

Ugg boots and opera. She’s a woman of contradictions.We were seriously impressed with Sophie's appreciation of the finer things in life, but TBH, we probably would have spent that whole date Instagramming the view. By Apollo's time frame, Sophie will be popping out babies at 60. At least maybe Stu would actually be single by then. Speaking of Stu, is our view of him a bit clouded by... something? The $500 million dugong in the room is kind of hard to ignore. And then there's Jarrod. Is there

Bach Chat #6: We’ve All Been Ciao’d By a Blake

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/10/19

How a man responds to rejection says a lot about his character. So Blake… Ciao, douche. It also makes us really miss sweet, kind James. Apparently nice guys finish fifth. Plus, it was the great lie of The Bachelorette 2017… Jarrod’s vineyard. The chicks may dig a winery but at the end of the day he’s just a bloke living with his mum and dad. And Stu finally confessed to the big snip. But not to worry, a vasectomy reversal is just like a $10,000 bunch of flowers for rich

The Wrong Girl, Dynasty & Star Trek 2.0

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/10/17

The first episode of the new look Dynasty dropped on Netflix over the weekend, and reminded us all why we’re becoming obsessed with a show that is so good and so bad all at once. Plus, Star Trek has made a come back and it has one of the strongest leading ladies we have ever seen. And The Wrong Girl is wrapping up this week - the Channel Ten show based on the book by Zoe Foster Blake has had mixed reviews, but are we overlooking one of the best characters on Australian TV right now?

Sophie Monk got her smize on this week and fearlessly showed four men the door. But we're not quite ready to let go yet, so let's talk about Luke. Zara got it OH SO WRONG. Did anyone see it coming? And Sam has finally gone back to his nephews, possibly the only people in this world who will appreciate his 'magic dust'. So let's talk about the least attractive words we've heard in our lives - pretty much everything that comes out of his mouth. Plus, can someone please stop Stu before he goes ahead

If you've been craving the good old Offspring days (we’re talking the Patrick years, people) then you are in luck. Australia is about to get a fresh new drama called Sisters starring Lucy Durak, Barry Otto and Magda Szubanski - so what do we know about it? And is it as good as it seems? Plus, there’s a huge problem with teen TV shows these days, and Laura has a solution for them. And The Good Place brings two of our favourites back to our TV screens, but Clare doesn’t think it is

Bach Chat #4: James is a Giant Peach

Mamamia Reviews ·

2017/10/05

When did our straighty-180 financial planner James get so cool? The bloke can breakdance and we just want to ask him for a smooch. You know who we don’t want to smooch? Sophie’s exes. That girl has been HURT. And now that we’ve got rid of Ryan, who will win? Will not-quite-single (but filthy rich) Stu be Sophie’s dream man? Only time will separate the roses from the pricks.
