The Anne Hathaway Conspiracy Theory We Can’t Believe She Addressed & Brad Pitt's Rawest Interview Yet
Brad Pitt sat down for a tell-all Esquire cover story and dropped bombshell after bombshell: from confessing he's fallen off the sobriety wagon to admitting to a devastating moment from his past he's never spoken about. We're unpacking the wildest lines from the profile everyone's talking about. Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway's red carpet baby bump has spiralled into a full-blown conspiracy theory, with corners of the internet convinced it's fake. She's since clapped back on Instagram, and we're getting into why this always seems to happen to pregnant women in the spotlight. Plus, new Oscar winner Michael B Jordan and singer Raye were spotted looking very coupley at Six Flags, and honestly? We're rooting for it. Read Brad Pitt's Esquire profile here.

Hear Us Out: The Characters We Shouldn't Be Lusting After (But That Won't Stop Us!)
After that unhinged Wicker trailer sent the whole internet into a spin, we're deep diving the fictional characters we were never supposed to find attractive… and yet. We're talking a gruff saber-tooth tiger with a heart of gold, the Marvel villain whose fan fiction was so unhinged it earned him a spinoff, and the wettest of wet-blanket sitcom romantics who somehow ages into a green flag. Plus the Twilight nobody we should've been rooting for the whole time, a brooding Finding Nemo fish the internet has turned into a full-blown daddy, and the Bear character with the most beautiful arc on TV.

Weekend Watch: The Feel-Good Sports Comedy We've Waited Three Years For & The Show Proving Reality TV Is Back
A beloved feel-good comedy no one expected to see again is back after three years, this time swapping the men's pitch for a women's team. Same warmth, same UK humour, same wholesome heart that made it a lockdown obsession, and stars you fell for returning. Then, reality TV's most chaotic new fixation has one very charming (very red-flag) leading man, 20 women, a 30-day countdown to a proposal, and a Call Her Daddy mogul pulling the strings behind the scenes. Need I say more? Plus if you refer something with a pulse of dread? There's a stylish, deeply creepy 80s-set teen thriller with a supermodel lead, a Hollywood serial killer, and all the sex, drugs and cigarettes the decade promised.

The "Useless Boyfriend" Trope Is Taking Over Hollywood & Did Phoebe Bridgers Write A Gracie Abrams Diss Track?
Miranda Kerr broke down her "day on a plate" on Kristen Cavallari's podcast, and it is unhinged... venison, bison, caviar (no parasites, apparently), but absolutely no eggs, kale or sourdough. We can't stop thinking about it. Phoebe Bridgers' new album has a lyric that sounds suspiciously like a dig at Gracie Abrams, and once you add Paul Mescal and some very specific glow-in-the-dark bed sheets into the mix, this "feud" gets a lot messier. Feud or genius songwriting? We're deciding. Also: have you noticed every movie this year has a completely useless boyfriend? From Devil Wears Prada 2 to Hugh Grant across three separate films, we're asking if Hollywood's newest trope is actually good for women.

The Greatest Rom-Coms You’ve (Probably) Never Seen

No While You Were Sleeping, no repeats — strictly the films they're obsessed with and no one else seems to have seen. We're talking a wedding-season two-hander with the ultimate rom-com nepo baby, a magical crab that turns a woman who can't boil water into a five-star chef, and a very naked, very smart mermaid who accidentally sparked a decades-long baby-name trend. There's a British train-station case of mistaken identity, a French time-travel curveball, and one small-town love triangle so tortured Tina's convinced it's basically Shakespeare.

A Brutally Honest Review Of The Odyssey (Part 2)
We're back with Part 2, where Odysseus finally makes it home — but not before the sirens, a brutal choice between two sea monsters, and a nymph who keeps him around a little too long. We get into why keeping the sirens shrouded in mist works better than showing us what's out there, and Odysseus's secret calculation between two monsters that his crew never forgive him for. And of course, we simply had to chart Robert Pattinson's full pipeline from broody love interest to snivelling coward. That's a wrap on our Odyssey era.

We Unpack Ariana Grande's Big Announcement & A Brutally Honest Review Of Petal
The internet has become obsessed with Wicker, the peculiar new film starring Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage. We finally watched the trailer together, unpack why everyone's thirsting over a wicker man, and reveal the weird fictional characters we can't stop crushing on. Then, Ariana Grande's new album petal has arrived, and we're diving into our favourite tracks, the themes that run through the record, and the emotional announcement she made alongside its release. We also unpack the growing scrutiny surrounding her public life and why she's choosing to step back from the spotlight. Listen to Laura Brodnik and Tina Provis on The Spill talking about Ariana Grande here. Read Holly Wainwright: A tiny woman is at the centre of an enormous conversation here.

A Brutally Honest Review Of The Odyssey (Part 1)
There was SO much to say about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey that we couldn't fit it into one episode — we tried, we failed miserably, and honestly we're thrilled about it, so you're getting a two-parter. This is Part 1, where we set sail into the three-hour epic everyone's been waiting for. We get into the Trojan Horse reimagining that traces back to the Troy movie Nolan never made, and the brutal sacrifice that recontextualises the whole opening. We defend the Cyclops (hear us out — on a rewatch, he's the victim). We break down the slow, skin-crawling transformation scene that out-brutals every battle. And we get into why the first woman to translate The Odyssey, absolutely hates this film — the missing sex, the grim food, all of it. It's epic, brutal and occasionally unhinged. Part 2 drops soon.

Weekend Watch: An Unmissable Comedy, The Marvel Movie We’ve Been Waiting For & A Thrilling Shark Film
The cult Aussie rom-com everyone's been quietly obsessed with is back for its third and final season, and if you've somehow missed it, now's the time to catch up. Its real-life married co-creators have the kind of chemistry you can't fake, backed by a scene-stealing cast of chaotic families and coworkers. Plus, The Spill team hit the premiere of the biggest superhero movie of the year — don't worry, we're keeping things spoiler-free, but we're unpacking why even the Marvel-fatigued are walking out obsessed, one surprise appearance we're still not over, and the very human story underneath it all. And if you're after something completely different, we've also got a recommendation for a tense new shark thriller set inside an underwater cave system. Think claustrophobia, friendship drama and one very angry bull shark.
