We’re sifting through and making sense of the week that was, while looking with our eyes and listening with our ears.No Time to Die has finally opened, and Zan has her spoiler-free hot takes on the new James Bond (and what phone he’s using).The tragic death of eight people at Travis Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ festival raises questions about how why it happened, and if the artist holds the ultimate responsibility in keeping punters safe.A seasoned art critic has completely missed the context of a major

2021/11/04

We’re coming off a weekend of moving house and not moving much, and there’s plenty to chat about. Zan finally finished the latest Sally Rooney book, and has some thoughts. Meanwhile chatter about the “Great Resignation” happening in the States makes us wonder if it’ll happen here, and we once again embrace our new found roles as careers counsellors. Reality is getting a reboot, as is Facebook, with the launch of the “Metaverse”… What is going on with those videos? And we’re banging out about season

2021/10/28

Zan and Myf are back to wrap the week that was, and oh boy it went all over the place. Adelaide United football player Josh Cavallo came out publicly; a rare event in Australian sport and we couldn’t be more stoked. TipTop bread is trending on Twitter but why? And a brilliant piece exploring different people’s inner voices has us wondering about the scenes going on in our own heads. DK Khaled “playing” the guitar has also brought us much joy this week, as has everyone leaning into Halloween. Have we

2021/10/21

One of the best shows ever is back, and we’re digging into the visceral one-liners, the power, the politics, all of it, as Succession returns. A well rounded read on the crossover of the wellness industry and conspiracy theorists has us thinking about what leads us (all of us) to different ways of thinking. And as lockdown lifts in Melbourne, and greater freedoms are felt all over Australia, we’re reflecting back on how we’re feeling coming out of the cave. Spoiler alert: many things. We’ve been

#191: 4 Corners, Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly, Vigil

Bang On ·

2021/10/14

Last week’s discussion of work and worth got a big response from the Bang Fam, and this week we’re digging deeper into how we spend our lives and how to become time millionaires. It’s a thing. A 4 Corners story investigating allegations of toxic work culture and abuse within Sony Music Australia reignites conversations around what’s next. And a GQ feature on Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s love affair has everything we crave: dramz, quotes, and fashun. Meanwhile Zan has no fingernails left after

2021/10/07

The Gouldian Finch is holding strong in the final moments of Bird of the Year; will this rainbow pom pom take the crown? Tweets have definitely been louder this week, that’s for sure, after Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp went offline for hours, leaving people to flock to Twitter. What did the outage say about our daily habits and addictions? Meanwhile an epic long read about a Bad Art Friend has the internet in a tizz, but if you’re seeing it and CBF reading it don’t worry, we got you. Squid Game

2021/09/30

Bird of the Year is back and the twitchers in us are absolutely frothing. Will the Ibis rise (from the bin) to claim the crown? The humble Magpie? What about the Tawny Frogmouth? Myf and Zan will reveal who they’re backing and why we love this annual poll of winged creatures. When we’re not bird watching, we’re binge viewing. But many streaming services are turning away from the mass dump of series in one go. Why? And the narrative forming around Gabby Petito’s tragic murder is leaving a bad taste

2021/09/16

Fashun is back! And we are kids in the candy store of the Met Gala. The lewks, the themes, the references, all of it unpacked in this week’s ep. Away from the red carpet, a new reality show has activists pitted against one another but is it as bad as it sounds? And we’re back in New York for a new show which teams Steve Martin and Martin Short together once again, and in the woods where we’re all Alone. Show notes: Met Gala slideshow:

Bang On ·

2021/09/09

It’s been a heck of a week for words and actions, with the Women’s Summit in Canberra being met with a lot of criticism. Next door, Minister Alan Tudge wants the curriculum to view history more favourably, and we look at who indeed that favours, and why. Thankfully $1.50 Kmart plates have provided welcome relief, a true sign that we have run out of things to talk about. And we’re banging on about a new Netflix show with Sandra Oh, and a page turner called The Midnight Library.Show notes:Britney

Kanye’s long awaited new album is finally out, and launched with his most provocative live streaming event so far. What does DONDA say about him as an artist, and the art he’s communicating to the world? Meanwhile, a longread on pop producer Dr Luke is a thorough case study on how the music industry is broken, and what we need to do to fix it. But also a discussion on how we as fans make ethical choices about the music we enjoy. And while we’re sinking our teeth into some heavy stuff, never fear,

Bang On ·

2021/08/26

It’s another wild week and we’re keeping our heads above water making sense of it all with the Bang Fam. Qantas have made a big push for us to get vaccinated, and subsequently have us bawling. A brilliant piece on the unbearable nature of being a female pop star nails it, meanwhile we’re questioning our own addictions in a new look at dopamine and digital media. And there are claims that ‘tea towel’ is not a uniform term. Excuse me, what? We’re banging on about a couple of great watches too, CODA

Myf and Zan are throwing a big bear hug around the Bang Fam with our best coping techniques in a rough time. Some choice words from Nick Cave have us high-fiving the prince of darkness, and a debrief with White Lotus writer/creator Mike White answers a lot of questions and begs a few more. Alex Lahey’s impassioned plea to the PM to keep our music industry alive hits hard, while the conversation around celebrities bathing habits opens an absolute can of worms. And we’re banging on about some

Everyone’s frothing on the social satire White Lotus and frankly we don’t want it to end. Myf and Zan share some good news for fellow fans, and an insight into the music that makes the show. Meanwhile Dolly is telling more stories with the news of her debut novel; we’re ready to tear into it. A new film based on the story of Amanda Knox’s conviction and acquittal is about to come out, and the woman herself has thoughts on who gets to tell her story.

Stadiums are a big theme of the week too, with the news that Kanye has allegedly moved into one to finish his DONDA album.
