MORNING TEA: Sam Smith Is Engaged & Miley Cyrus Has A Brand New Era

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/db0e7f6e-501c-4f3d-9360-b49100415401/transcript

There was SO much to say about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey that we couldn't fit it into one episode — we tried, we failed miserably, and honestly we're thrilled about it, so you're getting a two-parter.

This is Part 1, where we set sail into the three-hour epic everyone's been waiting for. We get into the Trojan Horse reimagining that traces back to the Troy movie Nolan never made, and the brutal sacrifice that recontextualises the whole opening. We defend the Cyclops (hear us out — on a rewatch, he's the victim).

We break down the slow, skin-crawling transformation scene that out-brutals every battle. And we get into why the first woman to translate The Odyssey, absolutely hates this film — the missing sex, the grim food, all of it. It's epic, brutal and occasionally unhinged. Part 2 drops soon.

A Brutally Honest Review Of The Odyssey (Part 1)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/40df25ed-96e5-44b3-9d60-b4910042d635/transcript

The cult Aussie rom-com everyone's been quietly obsessed with is back for its third and final season, and if you've somehow missed it, now's the time to catch up. Its real-life married co-creators have the kind of chemistry you can't fake, backed by a scene-stealing cast of chaotic families and coworkers. 

Plus, The Spill team hit the premiere of the biggest superhero movie of the year — don't worry, we're keeping things spoiler-free, but we're unpacking why even the Marvel-fatigued are walking out obsessed, one surprise appearance we're still not over, and the very human story underneath it all.

And if you're after something completely different, we've also got a recommendation for a  tense new shark thriller set inside an underwater cave system. Think claustrophobia, friendship drama and one very angry bull shark.

Weekend Watch: An Unmissable Comedy, The Marvel Movie We’ve Been Waiting For & A Thrilling Shark Film

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/28c4d8d2-3a06-47b3-89b7-b4910042bf48/transcript

Ariana Grande told some alleged hackers she'd see them in jail, and now she's actually following through. We're unpacking the lawsuit she's filed over stolen unreleased music, private photos and a multi-year campaign that reached deep into her inner circle. Plus the darker history it drags up: Hugh Grant, the royals, and the 2014 scandal one A-lister has never recovered from.

Meanwhile, a tiny $3 million movie became a cult obsession, and now its brand-new sequel trailer has us clutching our chests all over again. If you're scared of heights, look away now.

Plus, an offhand comment has us spiralling over the one reboot we didn't know we needed. We're getting emotional about Lea Michele's wild attempts at a redemption arc, the cast we lost, and whether some magic is better left untouched.
