Jonathan Van Ness Makes History with Cosmo Cover

Verity is one of the biggest movies in the world right now, and as you’d expect from a blockbuster Colleen Hoover adaptation starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, there is a lot to talk about.

Laura and Em are giving you their completely unfiltered review of the movie — from the performances they couldn’t look away from and the twists that genuinely shocked them, to the darker moments Laura found particularly confronting. They unpack what worked, what absolutely didn’t, the choices they’re still trying to make sense of and whether the movie ultimately lives up to all that hype.

And Em has come armed with receipts. Having read the original novel, she takes Laura through some of the biggest differences between the book and the movie, including the scenes and storylines she was stunned to see disappear, the changes that completely surprised her and whether Hollywood’s version of Verity actually improves on Colleen Hoover’s original story.

A Brutally Honest Review of Verity

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/645e3691-3d53-4e5e-9b51-b4d600345cbd/transcript

Need something to watch this weekend? Laura and Mon have two very different recommendations — one that will make you question everything your algorithm is feeding you, and another that may permanently change how you feel about dark bodies of water.

First, Aaron Sorkin is returning to the world of The Social Network with The Social Reckoning, starring Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and an intensely committed Jeremy Strong. Based on the true story of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, it’s a smart, unsettling look at what was happening inside the company as its algorithms began pushing users towards increasingly extreme content.

Then, Josh Hartnett is back in Below, a wildly atmospheric new Netflix series about a remote island community being terrorised by something enormous lurking beneath the water. There’s family drama, a surprisingly educational amount of ice harvesting and a genuinely horrifying sea monster — which, naturally, means Laura absolutely loved it. 

Plus, The Kardashians are back for season eight, so Laura delivers a very important PSA about what she does — and absolutely does not — want from the new season.

WEEKEND WATCH: Josh Hartnett's Chilling New Series & The Movie That'll Make You Question Your Algorithm

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/6947446a-fc8d-4dee-b52f-b4d600343b90/transcript

Michael Douglas' new memoir is here, and it's confirming a Hollywood rumour that's been denied for 40 years. We're unpacking his torrid on-set affair with Kathleen Turner, the drunken Golden Globes outburst that started a decades-long feud with Julia Roberts, and the five 'quick phone calls' he had to make before committing to Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Plus, Kylie Jenner has landed the lead role in a new murder mystery series developed with Kim Kardashian, and something needs to be said about what it means for TV right now.

And the Hunger Games stars are heading to Australia, as McKenna Grace pays tribute to Katniss with a very important dress.
