There's no shortage of surprises on the new Bluey album Dance Mode out worldwide TODAY - and Joff Bush's feline finesse is high on the list!

Puppets (aka Do We Know the Meaning of Life Yet?)

2023/04/13

How's it goin', salad dodgers?! Whether you've been dodging salad or not, you might want to know why that's a shout-out to the original Bluey pilot (now leaked!) - and Gotta Be Done wouldn't mind advice on ending the salad dodging by obstinate kiddos, also? Puppets has bigger issues than salad to dodge though - and of course Mary and Kate dive straight in! From voicing your children's toys to who's pulling whose strings, and what makes life a lie (or otherwise, hopefully?!), Unicorse is triggering

She's played keepy uppy on the stage of Madison Square Garden, floated down Sixth Avenue, and beamed into millions of homes around the globe on the daily - but strap yourselves in kids, Bluey's only getting bigger!

Fairytale (aka An Accurate Historical Document)

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2023/03/30

It's the Heeler history we all need to believe in, and Gotta Be Done is fact-checking and fetishising every glorious 80s moment! From montages to hazy memories, violent consequences of jinxes and whether child discipline should be depicted for historical purposes, Mary and Kate have a fairytale's worth of half-baked theories. Also, this Fairytale poster by Bluey animator Mark Paterson, art director Costa Kassab's reimagining of little Bandit and Chilli, and the sun, the moon, the prickles, the

So it's ONE MONTH until the new Bluey album lands - who likes to Dance Mode?! (And second single, the Rain score WITH JAZZ D'ARCY'S LYRICS is dropping on streaming services TODAY, make sure you are following Bluey to hear it!) Of course Gotta Be Done can't wait to talk about piece of musical gloriousness (out globally 21 April 2023!), but while we wait, we're going back in time to when we deep-dived the original Bluey the Album - with the original Aussie blokes Bluey recap podcast, The Hammerbarn

2023/03/16

Are you triggered by time outs? What about televisual content that recreates pandemic lockdown conditions? Unequal distribution of parenting? Or the sight/ thought/ mention of people/ dogs on the toilet? Well, dial in and get ready for Muffin (Cupcake) Heeler levels of outrage - because Gotta Be Done goes there! So who are the villains when parenting is being hogged? (Inequitable kids!) What are the pitfalls when boundary-setting with kids? (Stripe nails them all!) And what's the Franco-Prussian

Tina (aka And Yet, And Yet...)

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2023/03/02

Nice to meet you Tina... or should Mary and Kate say, SEASON 3'S ASPARAGUS?! Okay so three years on Gotta Be Done has come to the party (animals) of their previously least-favourite Bluey. But what happens when there's another contender?? Tina sparks questions about giving kids responsibilities, rights, riot permission, plus the weaponising of toilet hands and commentary on large ladies. Will they talk themselves into actually liking it though? She's a whole lotta unlikely! ++ Gotta Be Done is

BONUS EP (Gotta Be Done x Mums Work & Chaos)

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2023/02/25

We know Bluey is beloved/imitated/talked about the world over. So when a British mum, talking on a podcast, and channelling all the Bluey in her parenting, suggests a chat - well, it's gotta be done! Louise Salih is a mum of three and the host of new podcast Mums Work & Chaos. Strap yourselves in kids for plenty of great questions for Gotta Be Done's Mary on this fun cross-over ep. There's furious agreement about the new standard Bluey sets for kids tv/ life in general, deep-dives on the

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2023/02/23

It was a break that threw up more than a few roadblocks... but at Gotta Be Done, obstacles don't block the path, they are the path! So Kate and Mary are back, maybe not with a lot of newfound wisdom, but would reading/ swallowing a Little Book of Calm help? Plus, money-hungry children, force-feeding good qualities or modelling quads, and the gloriousness of Wendy. Remember, great works are performed not by great strength, but by perseverance. Also, somewhat chaotic podcasts and

So Gotta Be Done has been gone too long, but don't think for a second that Mary and Kate have stopped talking about Bluey! Thanks so much to amazing Tim at Pub Trivia Experience who hosted Gotta Be Done (original Bluey recap podcast) AND Two Bandits Watching Bluey (original upstate New York recap podcast!) for an epic Bluey showdown! There's musical mysteries, trifficult title cards, character conundrums - and it's brain-meltingly good, by Toutatis! If you like this ep, Pub Trivia Experience has

It's the final Gotta Be Done for 2022, and Mary and Kate are wrapping up in musical style, and on the beat!

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2022/12/01

So Gotta Be Done doesn't need a tourism campaign to tell them Queensland's Glass House Mountains are beautiful/ in Australia... but did tourism dollars help get this Explorers episode to where it was going? Mary and Kate analyse Jack's Dad/ Hamish Blake's career, ambassadorships and performance (and also his excellent new podcast How Other Dads Dad - lots of Bluey chat on Nazeem Hussain ep!) Plus, greatness thrust upon unsuspecting Jack Russells, famous and fabulous guest voices and the plot-twist

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2022/11/17

So, Mary went to Brisbane. You might not be as excited about that as she was, but luckily Bluey's Brisbane duo Lou and Justin were just as excited! And while this crossover is not quite a Bluey tour of Brisbane - as Lou points out, not many Bluey episodes happen at night! - it's a comprehensive tour of three Bluey-obsessed heads, via plenty of places in Brisbane that everyone should want to go! Oh, actually on location under the Story Bridge on the banks of the Brisbane River! (We love Justin and

Chest (aka May Have Missed the Child Prodigy Boat)

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2022/11/10

First things first, when is the right time to teach your kids anything - and is it too late for Kate and Mary to chess master it up? Gotta Be Done dives into the Breneness of looking after hearts, and the Unicorsiness of low-key undermining of your partner's efforts. Plus, the woodwork carving out a place in Bluey fans' hearts! Enjoy (and please remember you're not dead, you're at a pool party!) ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Adelaide/Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we

2022/10/27

Big belts, big heroes of Australian comedy, big plumber's crack - Tradies delivers plenty of big Bluey moments! Mary and Kate explain tradies, sparkies and chippies for the non-Aussie audience, and find Brene moments in talking to your enemies with defences down. Also ice cream, and the Australian feel-good drama waiting to happen (Leigh Sales, call Gotta Be Done!) Plus, the extremely confusing Blueyverse timeline of the fish pond, from Stumpfest and beyond - nice lawn, Bandit! ++ Gotta Be Done is

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2022/10/13

It's the Bluey episode that started in the gutter, but now all of us are looking up at the double rainbows. Rain has so much meaning for Kate and co - and especially in a week where rain and memories are coming down hard. There's also (Mary butchering) the Serenity Prayer, the double rainbow meme (what does it mean?!), Oscar-winning Balance that wordlessly inspired this episode, and its link to this most televisual bit of Aussie music history. And, the girls don't get to say it, but how much is

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2022/10/06

Is Magic powerful, or is magic just power? Either way it comes with great responsibility... and plenty of other half-baked film connection theories, courtesy of Gotta Be Done! Mary's asking how much magic/power/autonomy you can give Bluey/ a six-year-old/ her six-year-old specifically, while Kate's taking it back to ancient Grecian agoras to wonder what magic ethos, pathos and logos can deliver. Oh, and a fun mail bag filled with Minnesotan manes (thanks Stephanie!) and What Makes This Song Great

Driving (aka Phone Handy in Case the Game Gets Boring)

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2022/09/29

Parents are used to having plenty of purpose, but Gotta Be Done wonders about the bored side-effects of the busy. Also, Driving takes Kate and Mary to wild workplaces where staplers are tied down, bangers in the Blueyverse and beyond (like Lollipop Lollipop in Dance Mode Bluey!), and the cats that pee/ scratch/ are the embodiment of evil in a dogs' world. Oh, and spoiler alert - it's gonna take more than five minutes! ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary

Sheep Dog (aka If Fish Mullets Had Hair It Would...

Gotta Be Done - A Bluey Podcast ·

2022/09/22

No doubt Sheep Dog contains important lessons, but is this Bluey at its most simplistic? (Context, text and subtext: Mums just need 20 minutes, dammit!) Kate and Mary wonder what needs more explaining, mullets or shearers (and wonder if there's cutting-room-floor tape of Lucky's Dad singing Click Go the Shears??), delight in the Wendy redemption arc, and get excited about new voice Emily Taheny (just as her genius array of characters on Mad As Hell disappear from Australian screens, sob!)
