Netflix has just unveiled its 2026 lineup, and everyone is talking about Stranger Things: Tales from '85. Laura reveals why the original cast isn't returning to voice their characters and whether it can actually capture the magic of the original world. Plus get a sneak peek on what you’ll soon be bingeing, from a new Heartbreak High to a Willy Wonka reality series.

Then, we dive deep into the MAFS dinner party from hell. After a week of forced intimacy, the cracks are wider than ever. We discuss the cringey "Love Actually" moment that went wrong for Rachel and Steven, and why Steve (the silver fox) has officially become the most hated man on the show after his condescending treatment of Rebecca.

Plus, a massive bomb has dropped in the Married at First Sight world, with bride Brook  officially confirming her pregnancy and engagement to her ex while she’s still appearing on our screens in the experiment. We unpack the messy timeline, whether she was "fake" the whole time, and Tina Provis shares her own behind-the-scenes secrets from life after Love Island (including how long you actually have to hide from the paparazzi after winning a show).
