TV RELOAD: WICKER – A Bizarre, Beautiful and Unconventional Love Story

What happens when the perfect husband isn't a man at all, but something made entirely from wicker?

This week on TV Reload, Ben Norris and Brose Avard step into the wonderfully strange world of Wicker, a darkly funny fantasy romance starring Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Elizabeth Debicki and Peter Dinklage.

At the centre of this unconventional fairytale is a lonely fisherwoman who commissions a husband woven from wicker, setting in motion an extraordinary love story that challenges everything we think we know about relationships, happiness and belonging.

Ben and Brose unpack the film's wonderfully eccentric premise, exploring its surprising emotional depth, offbeat humour and the fascinating questions it raises about jealousy, loneliness, love and society's expectations of what a relationship should look like.

The conversation also turns to the film's impressive performances, particularly Olivia Colman's captivating portrayal of a woman determined to find happiness on her own terms, and Alexander Skarsgård's remarkable physical transformation into her unusual romantic partner.

Inspired by a short story by Ursula Wills-Jones, Wicker blends fantasy, romance and social satire into something unlike anything else at the cinema.

But does this bizarre love story weave its magic, or does the whole thing unravel?

Join Ben and Brose as they explore the film's hidden meanings, standout performances, creative choices and whether this wonderfully weird romance deserves a place on your must-watch list.

🎙️ BIG BROTHER AUSTRALIA 2026: PHOEBE SPILLS ON HOUSE SECRETS, BETRAYALS & BEHIND-THE-SCENES DRAMA!

Fresh from her dramatic eviction from the Big Brother Australia house, Phoebe joins Benjamin Norris on TV Reload for a revealing conversation about the friendships, fallouts and explosive personalities dominating this year's season.

Phoebe opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of living inside Australia's most famous house, admitting that despite entering as a confident extrovert, she found herself becoming increasingly withdrawn as she struggled to find her voice among some of the show's biggest personalities.

And then there's Ebony! Phoebe reflects on their complicated friendship and the shock decision that saw Ebony save Matthew instead of her. Was it a betrayal, a strategic move or simply the harsh reality of playing Big Brother?

The conversation also dives into some of the season's most controversial moments, including:


🔥 Ryan vs Matthew: The heated gaslighting debate and what Phoebe really made of the confrontation.


👀 Ebony vs Kyrah: The ongoing tension, divided loyalties and how the drama affected everyone living under the same roof.


💔 Friendships and betrayal: Who could Phoebe genuinely trust, and how did the experience change her?


🚨 The Big Red Button: How one unpredictable twist changed the course of the eviction.


🏠 Life behind the cameras: The challenges of living with strangers, navigating strong personalities and finding your place in the house.


🏆 Who will win? Phoebe shares her predictions and reflects on which housemates have what it takes to go all the way.

Beyond the drama, Phoebe also opens up about rediscovering her confidence, what the Big Brother experience has taught her about herself and whether a return to the stage could be on the cards.

It's an honest, entertaining and revealing conversation that goes beyond the television edit to explore what really happens when friendships, personalities and the pressure of the game collide.

When does journalism become entertainment… and when does the pursuit of justice cross the line?

This week on TV Reload, Ben Norris and Brose Avard take a dark and fascinating dive into PRIMETIME, starring Robert Pattinson.

Inspired by the cultural phenomenon To Catch a Predator, the film explores the disturbing intersection of true crime, television ratings, celebrity and the ethics of turning real people's darkest moments into must-watch entertainment.

🎥 In this week's episode, we unpack:

🔴 Robert Pattinson's compelling performance and the complicated figure at the centre of the story.

🔴 The blurred lines between investigative journalism, public humiliation and entertainment.

🔴 Whether exposing wrongdoing on national television is genuinely about justice — or chasing ratings.

🔴 The film's unsettling cinematography, claustrophobic atmosphere and standout performances.

🔴 Our own fascination with true crime and why audiences can't seem to look away.

Was television exposing predators, or exploiting them for entertainment? And can both things be true?
