The Spill

We’re heading straight down nostalgia lane because High School Musical is officially 20, and yes, it still rules. And you can bet, Emily's ready to walk Laura through the movie that basically made her who she is today.

We unpack our favourite characters, call out the ones who might be a little too “pick me” in hindsight, and relive out the musical numbers we’ve been singing (hell, maybe belting) for two decades.

Plus, some hard truths: what High School Musical actually teaches us about life, love… how to juggle basketball AND a musical theatre career. Spoiler: the franchise might be deeper than you remember.

Dear gentle reader, Bridgerton has returned. We have your first look at season 4 of the much loved Netflix drama. With all the delicious Regency era language (we are petitioning for "rake" to be the word of 2026) and a hot new leading man (without mutton chops). Loosen your corsets, this is going to be steamy.

Plus, Em recommends a horror movie?! Our resident scaredy cat loved this latest cinematic release starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. A little bit Survivor, a little bit slasher it might be the perfect first date movie.

Need a refresher before watching Bridgerton Season 4? Listen to our all new Bridgerton podcast on Spotify and Apple.

Plus, Kim Kardashian has finally explained why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry asked to be edited out of Kris Jenner’s birthday party photos. But the way she told the story has us questioning what’s really going on behind the scenes.

First up today, a little bit of TV news. Some key cast members for the upcoming fourth season of The White Lotus have been confirmed and we have a lot to say about this casting. And private text messages sent by Jameela Jamil about Blake Lively have been released and Jameela said there’s a sinister reason why this has all been made public. Plus, Harry Styles has confirmed that new music and a world tour are both coming our way, but there’s one big question he’s been avoiding in recent interviews. Plus, we have some intel on how to score Australian tickets.
