It’s been another bumper week, and we’re here to unpack it all with you. Zan saw Jennifer Coolidge and Mike White in convo with an 8000 strong crowd of high end gays, and gives you the highlights of a life affirming conversation.
The Idol has been getting attention for all the wrong reasons, specifically one of the worst sex scenes in TV history. We bring in a special guest to unpack it. Meanwhile Netflix has opened a pop up restaurant; what show do you want to eat?
Miriam Margolyes is the cover girl for British Vogue, and that is how it should be, and Paul McCartney has revealed there will be a new Beatles song with a little help from his friends. Namely, AI.
And we’re banging on about Marc Fennell’s new doco The Kingdom, and a fictional story on an Australian cult, “The Clearing”.
