INTERVIEW | Sebastian Catalano, co-founder and Financial Director of YAFF

Is Channing Tatum lying when he says his supposed Instagram burner isn't actually his? Ruta, Connor, and Ella discuss, but not before taking a quiz to find out what their musical ages are (spoiler alert: it's nowhere near their actual ages)! Ruta brings a variety of strange vegan dishes into the Cereal Box for the Blind Rank Game, leading to some controversy in the studio as to whether ear-shaped mushrooms would taste good. The team also welcome into the studio Sebastian Catalano, the co-founder and Financial Director of the Young Australian Film Festival, to discuss giving young Australian filmmakers a platform as they enter the industry.

FULL SHOW | I'm nosy... in private.

Movie Mondays

Sam, Hannah and Makenzie kick off with a double pop culture update covering G Flip, Taylor Swift, the AFL Grand Final, the Glee reboot, Olivia Rodrigo's tour and Noah Kahan dropping new music for the new Hunger Games movie.

Movie Monday revisits The Social Network ahead of The Social Reckoning hitting cinemas and marks Gone Girl turning 12, complete with a breakfast rating.

Noah Kahan coming to Melbourne sparks a conversation about songs that hit differently once you've lived them, sad boy energy and the go-to tracks for both a bad day and the recovery after.

The Murchison meteorite anniversary raises an important question. If one lands in your backyard are you reporting it or keeping it? Google's birthday prompts the simplest things they've ever googled and the strangest Wikipedia rabbit holes before Mission Monday has the group sharing what they get as into as others get into the AFL Grand Final.

Plus the Heaps Decent track of the week is DJ Keavsz.

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Makenzie Clark, Hannah Bachelard and Lilyana Talarico

Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour and Sam Kelly
