Why does the media insist on pitting female co-stars against each other, and how is it affecting our mental health? What’s the perfect way to hard launch a boyfriend on Instagram without spiralling into full cringe? And… why are there suddenly so many talking animals in books and movies, and can we maybe pump the brakes?

These are just some of the very important (and increasingly chaotic) topics Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are unpacking in the latest episode of The WHO Group Chat.

After some quick hit headlines including Sydney Sweeney’s latest American Eagle ad, the girls dive into the age-old narrative of “feuding” female co-stars, after reports that perhaps Sydney and her Euphoria co-star Zendaya have beef. We are unpacking why these rumours persist and who it benefits (hint: not women). 

Then, following Joe Jonas finally putting Tatiana Gabriella on main, we engage in a highly strategic brainstorm, attempting to map out the ultimate plan for Celia’s boyfriend's hard launch. Subtle soft reveal? Full grid debut? Or something so rogue it breaks the internet? No option is off the table.

Next, things take a sharp turn into the bizarre as the conversation lands on talking animals in film and TV, specifically, why they’re everywhere right now and whether we actually asked for this. This somehow leads to Celia revealing a rather paradoxical fear: animals with human bodies? Totally fine. Human bodies with animal heads? Absolutely not. There’s logic there… somewhere.

The girls also weigh in on the upcoming Sheep Detective movie (yes, really), asking the only question that matters: will it be baaaaaaaad or weirdly brilliant?

Finally, Lifestyle Editor Madi joins the chat to talk about the rise of whimsy in dating and why more people are leaning into playful, unexpected ways to connect. Is whimsy the secret ingredient we’ve all been missing? Possibly but, in our defence, we were busy buying tuxedos for our teacup pigs. 

So whether you’re plotting your next post, questioning your stance on animated animals or just here for the chaos, settle in: this is one group chat you definitely won’t want to mute.

What really went down behind the scenes of Laguna Beach and were those secret hook-ups hiding in plain sight the whole time? What counts as a “big mistake” according to Dan Levy? And is Coachella still the coolest place on earth… or has it officially become a very well-dressed endurance sport?
