Weekend Watch: A Bone-Chilling Romance, Keke Palmer’s Wild New Role & A Period Prequel Drama

You know her, you love her, and somehow it’s been 25 years since Bridget Jones’s Diary first hit screens. And honestly… we have thoughts. Because what was once sold to us as a cautionary tale about dating, work, wine consumption and embarrassing yourself in public? Yeah… we accidentally took it as aspirational. And we need to talk about it.

We unpack our own complicated relationship with Bridget, revisit the behind-the-scenes facts and iconic bits of lore that still shock us to this day (yes, Em is still recovering), and ask the big question: how is this movie problematic in hindsight yet more beloved than ever?

Plus, we get into the parts of Bridget Jones’s Diary that absolutely don’t hold up today — and why, despite all of it, we still can’t help but love the film with every fibre in our beings. And finally, the one big takeaway from Bridget’s world that we firmly believe you should hold as your north star...

Want more Bridget Jones content? Listen to more deep dives into the movie as it approaches 25 years since release. Link here.

A Brutally Honest Review Of Bridget Jones's Diary As It Turns 25

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/a5494570-7c63-41e0-a4b3-b42d00493ccb/transcript

First, a PSA for one of the most critically acclaimed (and genuinely laugh-out-loud) shows on television, which has just returned for its final season. If you’ve somehow missed it until now, this is your sign to finally start - because the hype is very real.

Then, a terrifying cult-favourite series is back, dropping us into a mysterious town no one can escape… where the real danger only comes out at night. It’s creepy, addictive, and not for the faint-hearted.

Plus, a brand-new comedy about a young woman whose life takes a chaotic turn after an unexpected pregnancy - leading her into a very unconventional career path. It’s sharp, funny, and packed with big performances and even bigger family dynamics.

Three TV shows. Zero excuses to leave the house.

Weekend Watch: A Sexy Dramedy, A Thrilling Horror And The Best Comedy On TV

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/7afc5808-c966-4a23-8fa5-b4280023492c/transcript

We’re breaking down the chaotic Married at First Sight reunion, and if you thought the finale was dramatic, nothing could prepare us for the secret audio that caught one groom’s terrifying true colours.

This week, the scorecard for the season was officially tallied - and with only one couple walking in together, we need to talk about why this year felt like an exercise in public humiliation for the women involved.

Plus we discuss the fallout from the Danny/Steph/Bec triangle. We’re dissecting the story they told about those leaked bikini photos and how that aggressive off-camera audio proves why this groom might be one of the most manipulative contestants the show has ever seen.

Plus, we’re unpacking the logic behind Steven’s "seasonal" approach to romance (spoiler: there is none) and hear why his pathetic excuses had us feeling "broken but hopeful" for the end of the season.

Love binge-watching TV? The Spill has launched a new podcast called Watch Partywhere we deep dive into the shows everyone’s talking about. Follow the feed on Apple or Spotify now.
