On the show today…

There’s something peculiar going on with Australian TV ratings at the moment. One long-running reality TV show has suddenly skyrocketed in the ratings, while another reality staple seems to be crashing at an alarming rate.

And Britney Spears, who is still battling to have her 13-year conservatorship removed, has announced that she is severely cutting back on the content she will be posting to her Instagram account and judging by what her family has also been posting, it’s for a pretty messy reason.

Plus, Melissa McCarthy was asked a question about the birthday video she filmed with Meghan Markle while doing press for her new TV show. Melissa heaped glowing praise onto Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, but then she answered a question that has left people seeing the royal couple in a whole new light.

MORNING TEA: The Bezos Met Gala Backlash & The Boyband Moment That Broke The Internet

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/5507bf6f-9ede-4b90-b30d-b43d000486ae/transcript

It's the Netflix comedy from Mindy Kaling starring Kate Hudson that is equal parts glossy, chaotic, and completely addictive. Yep, we’re diving headfirst into Running Point Season 2!

It’s a sports show, a family mess, a workplace comedy, and a rom-com experiment all at once — and somehow we’re still fully invested. We unpack why Isla Gordon is such a compelling disaster of a lead, why Season 2 pushes her even further into chaos, and why we can’t decide if we want to be her or run from her.

We get into the love triangle that keeps collapsing under its own “perfect vs passion” logic, why Lev stops feeling so perfect this season, and how Coach Jay suddenly becomes a lot more interesting than expected. Plus, the friendship storyline that quietly becomes the emotional centre of the entire season, Cam’s slow villain energy, and the cameos that feel like Mindy Kaling collecting icons for fun.

And then there’s that finale — the betrayal, the twist, and the very obvious setup for Season 3 chaos.

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.

A Brutally Honest Review Of Running Point Season 2

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/80d39434-cdc3-467d-a88a-b43600119f64/transcript

This weekend, we’ve got one movie Em couldn’t finish… and one we’ve been counting down to for years.

First, a chilling new thriller set frighteningly close to home, where a solo wilderness trip turns into a full-blown nightmare. Think high-stakes survival, a relentless predator, and the kind of tension that will have you questioning every outdoor plan you’ve ever made.

Then, the sequel that’s been decades in the making has finally arrived — and yes, we have thoughts. From long-awaited reunions and career shake-ups to shocking betrayals and emotional moments that genuinely land, we break down what works, what doesn’t, and whether it lives up to the legacy.

Test your knowledge with our Devil Wears Prada quiz here and let us know how you go!
