Myf and Zan are back and there’s a lot to catch up on. Like actively choosing to celebrate the headlights being on. Yep, we’re discussing Kimmy K’s nipple bra. Dolly Parton is reportedly going to be presenting an award at the ARIA’s and with both of us heading along we’re wondering if this is our moment. And with Taylor Swift’s “1989” re-recording out, a great long read remembering that time Ryan Adams covered us has us thinking about how women’s pop music is digested differently to men’s...

Hey Bang Fam! We'll be back next week with a big episode.

It’s finally here, Britney Spears highly anticipated memoir “The Woman In Me” is out, and Zan has read it all in one hit. We go in with all you need to know, as Britney reclaims her story. It’s been a big week for Beyonce too, as we mark 10 years since she visited Brunswick, and she releases a new perfume to mark the occasion. Maybe not related, but we’ll say they are. Kings of Leon have come a long way from their southern charm, and are being called out for being absolute dicks at a...

It’s raining memoirs, and we’ve got the dish on Britney Spear’s forthcoming tell all, and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s mic drop revelations in her just released “Worthy”. Dolly is lobbing in too, she loves a good book, and we’re here for it. Nicholas Cage is shooting a movie in south-west WA and we’re living for the reportage around his local spottings. And on the East Coast, the Dugong is being pitched as the perfect Olympic mascot. A grazing sea cow that is a bit shy? Let’s go. Myf has been...

#265: Beckham, Gaffa Banana, Silent Walking It’s been a full on week, and we’re here to give you a little reprieve if you need it. Fat Bear Week is here to help us, we have a winner, she is amazing, and we celebrate Grazer. Meanwhile Bang Fam are rallying around the Peregrine Falcons after their fortunes took a turn. The conceptual art piece “Comedian” (a banana gaffa taped to a wall) is coming to Melbourne for the NGV’s Triennial, so it’s time for Myf’s critical art eye. And for Zan...

Myf and Zan are frothing at the news that Beyoncé will bring her Renaissance tour to the big screen; we share what we know so far. In Vegas, U2 are putting on their own show. In a sphere. We review it (without having seen it). Stevie Nicks is being immortalised as a Barbie, and it’s “goodbye girl boss, hello snail girl” as some women switch their priorities from hustle to hammock. And at Paris Fashion week there’s much bravery and courage as women ditch the make-up and stop getting their...

Myf and Zan are back after a break and catching up on the last two weeks of music, art, life and stuff. A lot has happened. Split ups, bears in Japan, brush-turkeys at Myf’s house… The writers strike has ended too, but one star broke early and the backlash against Drew Barrymore’s decision to return to work has been sizeable. Meanwhile Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner has decided that if you’re not male or white you’re not a master, and all those covers and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

Wow, what a week. We really do cover it all on Bang On and partake in a healthy amount of googling, too. Yep, Myf and Zan are back to make sense of the week that was; music, art, life, and birds. Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s rumoured dating has been publicly confirmed in the VIP tower at Beyonce’s LA show. Smooching and smoking was just the pressie she wanted. Meanwhile down the road in Nevada people have been stranded at Burning Man after an unseasonable downpour. Are we allowed...

It’s a big week for Bang On, and a lot can happen in seven days. Last ep the revolt against Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales was just kicking off, since then there have been calls for his dismissal, rallies in the street, hunger strikes, and a fair dose of blokes claiming victim hood. We catch up on it, and an excellent piece by Annabel Crabb that explains and eviscerates it all. The commercial value of women in sport, entertainment and business has been ignored for too...

Myf’s made her road trip north and has all the news from life on the road with Vyv. There’s heaps to catch up on too, as Myf and Zan reunite to reflect on the Matildas wins and how they celebrated. There’s a lot of talk of legacy too, and the changes being made in women’s sport overall. One thing that hasn’t changed is inappropriate behaviour at the workplace: Spanish Football Federation boss, we’re looking at you. Meanwhile in the AFL, a 4 Corners story on gay players within the league...

The nation is screaming “goooooooooooooal!” as the Matildas bring in the numbers and we froth over football in the Women’s World Cup. Myf and Zan are revelling in it all, and what this moment will do for girls in the future. If you’re always being told you’re wasting your time on your phone, get ready for a hot take from The Atlantic that has us shoot. Were we always wasting our time? And a 1st gen iPod from 2001 has sold for almost US$30k! Why? Why not? Only Murders in the Building...

Myf and Zan went to the Logies and we have goss. The wild red carpet, the neverending awards ceremony, and which celebs Zan pulled a netball manoeuvre on. Meanwhile Doja Cat has been going off on one on socials, we dig into why – and how parasocial relationships are changing the invisible contract between artist and fan. But was there one in the first place? Have you ever put deodorant on your face? Our minds are blown this week (with roll on) and Myf is on board, and MSCHF are up to...

Myf and Zan wake to the sad news of Sinead O’Connor’s death, and reflect on her power, her protest, and her extraordinary voice which lifted us and gave a voice to so many without one. Barbie has made history at the box office, with Greta Gerwig pulling in the biggest opening weekend by a female film director ever. But some conservative are in an absolute tizz about it. Meanwhile Myf’s questions are finally answered as Vanity Fair launches an investigation into why movies are so long....

It’s a huge episode this week, as Myf and Zan finally see the Barbie film and we’ll give you our (spoiler free) thoughts. Zan backed it up with Oppenheimer too, so dig into that movie sandwich. Both films squeezed in their premieres just before American actors joined their writer colleagues in a strike; we unpack what it all means for the people who create all the stuff we bang on about every week, and the future of the industry (and what will be on on our screens in a year’s...

It’s been a big week for showing the receipts. If you’re catching up on what is going on with Jonah Hill and his ex GF Sarah Brady, we’ll fill in the blanks. But will we be talking about it in Threads? A week in from Zuckerberg’s take on Twitter and we’re wondering what it’ll be and how much time we have for more social media apps. Speaking of which, a TikTok food trend “girl dinner” has a lot of people talking, and Britney Spears’ highly anticipated tell-all memoir has been given its...

Myf and Zan are back and Zan has the goss from the Barbie press conference in Bondi last week. It’s the first film to come from Mattel’s film arm, but it certainly won’t be the last. We discover the plans for Polly Pocket, He-Man, and some toys you never imagine could be movies. People are throwing more unhinged stuff on stage, and we try to understand this cultural “moment”, meanwhile women can finally wear non-white undies at Wimbledon. That’s progress. And speaking of shades, why...

It’s been a huge weekend at Glastonbury with all kinds of wild things going down. We wrap it all; from Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett’s cameos, to Lana and Lewis singalongs. Not to mention Rina Sawayama’s pointed take down of Matty Healy. While we’re talking live music, people seem to be throwing stuff at musicians of late. Notably, phones. Why? And we’ve watched the first two eps of “And Just Like That”, we’ll share our thoughts. A tour through Barbie’s Dreamhouse on Architectural...

It’s a treat for the eyeballs this week, as Zan gets a preview of the new Indiana Jones film. You’ll hear her take, and what Phoebe Waller-Bridge does for the franchise. The trailer for Sophia Coppola’s “Priscilla” movie just dropped too, and we are ready, Taft in hand. An Australian lolly is about to be discontinued, and Myf has some hot takes on the chewy classic, and with the Sussex’s Spotify deal coming to an end, we wonder if the ex-Royals will ever be able to move forward if people...

It’s been another bumper week, and we’re here to unpack it all with you. Zan saw Jennifer Coolidge and Mike White in convo with an 8000 strong crowd of high end gays, and gives you the highlights of a life affirming conversation. The Idol has been getting attention for all the wrong reasons, specifically one of the worst sex scenes in TV history. We bring in a special guest to unpack it. Meanwhile Netflix has opened a pop up restaurant; what show do you want to eat? Miriam Margolyes...

It’s our 250th episode and a bumper Bang! A very Padam to you all, yep we’ll chat about the epic career of Kylie who continues to hit the charts. Danni is doing pretty well too, while we’re here. Given it’s a special occasion, a special guest and member of the Bang Fam is dropping by. Virginia Trioli (AKA DJ Trigger) shares her thoughts on Sex and the City, female friendships, ghosting, all of it. What a treat. The meme machine has been in overdrive at Apple’s announcement of it’s Augmented...

It’s been a big week of finales, and we celebrate the iconic winner of Alone Australia and those moments following the reveal. Succession and Ted Lasso have wound up too, but don’t be scared; Myf is still catching up on Succession, and Zan on Lasso, so no spoilers here for now. As we hit record, breaking news about Samantha AKA Kim Cattrall’s appearance on the Sex In the City reboot has us shook (and jazzed). And speaking of reboots, The Office will be getting a local makeover with it’s...

Just hours after we hear the news, Myf and Zan pay tribute to Tina Turner; an icon of music, a survivor who became a Queen, and an inspiration to so many. From our personal recollections, to chatting with her collaborators about working with her, it’s all about Tina as we reunite for Bang On this week. Beyoncé has also been living large this week, after Zan caught her incredible set on Saturday night in Edinburgh. You’ll get the full debrief. Curious about the blue couch meme doing the...

It’s a UK Hun, I mean, BANG! Myf is in Liverpool in the thick of Eurovision 2023 and has the kind of access we’ve come to know and love. Come for the gossip, stay for Croatia’s entry. We take the temperature on the ground and online after the King’s Coronation. That was weird. In more exciting news, an attendee at the LA Philharmonic is having a euphoric time out and about. The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductees have been announced and there are some legends in the list, while Dolly...

As we hit record, the official trailer for S02 of “And Just Like That” (aka the Sex and the City reboot) has dropped. Do we care? Of course we do. Next door on HBO, a new Harry Potter series is brewing with some changes afoot. The death of Barry Humphries has drawn different reactions from all corners. Sammy J captures the complexities of farewelling the comic who said some crook stuff in his final years. And we’ve got an update from Matthew Perry and his relationship with Keanu after the...

The world of pop culture really delivered this week. If you’re confused, we got you. Kicking off with why Mischa Barton (yes, of The OC) is coming to Erinsborough. Yep, the Neighbours reboot just got bigger. With the coronation of King Charles on the horizon, and commemorative dish has been announced, but Myf is not impressed. Meanwhile in the States, the Coachella Music Festival’s first weekend had some highs and lows, with everyone talking about Frank Ocean’s headline set. We dig into...
