On the show today, Em’s diving into Predator: Badlands — the new chapter in the iconic sci-fi franchise that’s taken a whacky turn she never saw coming.

Then, our entertainment writers drop by to share their weekend picks. One of which is a haunting drama featuring two of our very favourite actors.

And finally, Squid Game: The Challenge is back. But can a real-life version of the world’s most dangerous game live up to the phenomenon that started it all? We’ve got thoughts.

Weekend Watch: A Surprising Sci-Fi Sequel, A Haunting Thriller & The Return Of Squid Game

The book-turned-Netflix rom-com that has the internet in a chokehold… it’s time for our brutally honest review of People We Meet On Vacation. 

We’re unpacking Emily Henry's beloved novel and putting it head-to-head with its Netflix adaptation — from what translated beautifully on screen to what absolutely did not. We get into the cast, the chemistry (or lack thereof), and Emily’s very strong gripe with main character Poppy (… can someone say Pick Me?).

Plus we're breaking down the one scene that never should’ve made it into the film, and another that's we’re genuinely devastated was left on the cutting room floor...things get so heated at one point that Emily nearly walks out of the room. Honestly, we almost lost a host today.

If you’ve read the book, watched the movie, or are just here for the mess — this one’s for you.

THE END BITS

The Spill has a new podcast thats devoted to TV bingeing! Our latest ep contains all the fan theories, cast reveals and easter eggs about the new series of Bridgerton to get up to date before  Season 4 comes out. Listen now on Apple or Spotify or the Mamamia app.

A Brutally Honest Review Of People We Meet On Vacation

This week is stacked with new TV and movie releases, so we’ve rounded up the ones worth watching (and the releases everyone will be talking about).

First up, book lovers have been dying for this new series, hooked on a family full of sisters, to air, and it’s finally available to watch in Australia.

And Marty Supreme is sure to win Timothée Chalamet an Oscar, and it marks Gwyneth Paltrow’s return to the big screen as a leading lady, but is it actually as brilliant as everyone says it is? We’ll give you our honest verdict.

Plus, the new Game Of Thrones is here (yes, really, it’s in the same universe and based on the same books) and Em is ready to tell you exactly why you should watch it…with a bit of colourful commentary added in.

Weekend Watch: A Cosy Family Drama, The New Game Of Thrones Is Here & And An Honest Marty Supreme Review

We’re right back into the Beckham family drama today, because after eldest son Brooklyn Beckham posted a series of scathing statements about his family, a number of sources have come forward. Mostly to explain what really happened during the ‘inappropriate’ mother and son dance (and we have a wild theory about this to share with you).

Plus, the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal drama has ramped up with a number of legal documents containing scandalous emails and text messages between Hollywood A-listers (including Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) being leaked, and now we need to dissect their contents.
Among the documents are also text messages between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, including one heartbreaking text message exchange that signals the end of their friendship.
