This week on Lights, Camera, Leonie, it’s a full pop culture sweep — from cult movie comebacks to celebrity reinventions, royal TV moments, and a Hollywood loss hitting 90s fans hard.

We’re joined by Leonie Thomas — the Gossip Girl Unleashed Queen — to break down what’s trending, what’s strategic, and what’s just pure headline chaos.

• Practical Magic 2 bringing back a 90s cult favourite with a darker twist
• Nicole Kidman’s unexpected move into death doula training and what it says about grief and modern celebrity
• Harry & Meghan’s Australia visit — including a surprise MasterChef appearance
• The death of 90s TV star Patrick Muldoon and why soap-era fame still resonates
• And the bigger question: why nostalgia and celebrity reinvention are dominating culture right now

From witches to royals to reinvention arcs — this week is all about what comes back, what changes, and what refuses to leave the spotlight.

Lights, Camera, Leonie: Nostalgia, Royals & Reinventions Everywhere

Two issues, both politically charged — and both raising questions about timing, priorities, and real-world impact.

In this Morrison Brief, Brent speaks with Jason Morrison about the federal government’s long-overdue crackdown on the NDIS, and whether reforms are coming too late for the people who rely on it most.

Plus, a new proposal around gender-neutral public toilets is sparking debate — is it modernisation, or policy overreach that’s missing the mark?

It’s not just the salt shaker on your table — it’s what’s already hiding in your food.

Today we’re unpacking how everyday habits, packaged foods, and “just a pinch” cooking routines can quietly push sodium intake far higher than most people realise — and what that means for long-term heart health.

We’re joined by Dr Emma Beckett, nutritional scientist, to break down where salt is really coming from, why we overuse it without noticing, and how small changes can make a measurable difference over time.

The Silent Add-On: Are You Eating More Salt Than You Think?

With ANZAC Day this Saturday, one of Australia’s most iconic traditions is back in kitchens across the country — the humble ANZAC biscuit. But behind the oats, golden syrup and coconut is a story rooted in wartime care, resilience, and community connection.

We’re joined by Amanda Colwell from the Coonamble Evening Country Women’s Association to unpack the original recipe, the best way to get that perfect chewy-or-crunchy finish, and why this simple biscuit still carries such meaning more than a century later.

From soldiers overseas to family kitchens today — this is one recipe that’s never just been about baking.

CWA of NSW Anzac Biscuit Recipe
150g (1 cup) plain flour
220g (1 cup) sugar
100g (1 cup) rolled oats
90g (1 cup) desiccated coconut
125g butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and lightly grease two baking trays.
