Ok, emergency might be a strong word... but we finally watched Don't Worry Darling and had to discuss our thoughts!

It's the movie everyone's been talking about for months, but did it live up to the hype? 

And don't worry (darling) since it doesn't officially hit Australian cinemas until Thursday, this is a spoiler-free episode.

An EMERGENCY Don’t Worry Darling Episode

North West is Dazed's new cover star, and the internet has a LOT to say. At 13, Kim Kardashian's eldest is being raked over the coals for her styling, her adults-only itinerary and a music tour that quietly collapsed, and we're unpacking why this cover has reignited the child-star debate all over again.

And we're mourning the death of the original idea. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are reuniting for a How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days sequel, and while we love them, we're asking the bigger question: is Hollywood ever going to greenlight anything new again?

Plus, we pay tribute to the late, great Tim Curry — the shape-shifting genius behind some of our most formative (and most terrifying) childhood characters, and the films worth revisiting to remember him.

MORNING TEA: The Sussexes Are Back In The UK & Emily In Paris Has A Final Date

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/a71503d6-84d2-4952-a476-b4ac0056ceec/transcript

Today we're farewelling the truly irreplaceable Dolly Parton, and celebrating the parts of her legacy that don't always get the spotlight: the songwriting, the philanthropy, and the doors she kicked open for every female artist who came after her.

Plus, Taylor Swift just sat down for a rare, heavily-controlled interview, and if you listen closely, she's quietly told us exactly what's coming next. We're decoding the looking-back, the throughline she keeps returning to, and the very deliberate play she's making for one final piece of her legacy.

And for the obsessives: the Season 3 teaser for The Pitt has dropped, and the eagle-eyed clues buried in it - a changed timeline, a missing wedding ring, and one very welcome return have us spiralling ahead of January.

Read the celebrity tributes flowing in for Dolly Parton here.
