It's been a large week, and Myf and Zan are here to take you into a happy place, and make sense of the sillier side of the internet. Much to celebrate too, as Double J turns 10 and a house party is planned. We're setting the homework for our Brissie Bang On Live too, so make sure you're up to speed. The defamation trial brought by Bruce Lehrmann has ended, and we reflect on the outcome, the process, what's left behind. Coachella's first weekend has brought plenty to the social media feed, and we dive into all the random surprises in the desert. And a new podcast series from Courtney Love has been getting attention for all the wrong (and predictable) reasons. As the reviews roll in for Back to Black, Laura Snapes has a particular gripe about the Amy Winehouse narrative that Zan is behind 100%. And get ready for even more music biopics, as we left you know what's in production (including some breaking news). The Willy Wonka experience continues to give us life; it's now on tour to Los Angeles and Zack Galifianakis is on board to boot! And it's Olympic FARSHUN week with Australia's official kit revealed. What message does it send the world? Big week! We're also banging on about Netflix movie "Scoop" and excellent podcast series "The Gatekeepers".

Myf and Zan are smack bang in the middle of their national tour, so this week we’re throwing back to where it all kicked off in Adelaide.

Myf and Zan are back with the week in music, art, life, and stuff and we've got it all this week! The new Amy Winehouse biopic comes out today, and Zan has had a sneak preview. So, what's the verdict? It's a big week for art, as we catch up on the MONA Museum court ruling for their Ladies Lounge. Over in Munich, another artist is trying his hand at disruption, and we love this fella's energy in hanging his own piece next to the greats. Sex and the City has landed on Netflix and so have the hot takes on whether Gen Z can handle it. We've sifted through them all to find our favourite. And speaking of FARSHUN, Zendaya is owning the red carpet (on grass, clay, and hardcourt) for her new film Challengers. And we're banging on about some good reads from The School of Life, and Annabel Crabb's brilliant editorial on the appointment of Sam Mosytn as Governor General.

It's been a big week for music, and we're all in with Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter". Myf and Zan celebrate the highlights, unpack the songs that don't quite hit the mark, and share some easter eggs from the album too. Lizzo quit, then didn't, and we're confused. Meanwhile Billie Eilish is getting some backlash after calling out special edition vinyl, but y'know what? She'll be the one inheriting the earth that Rolling Stones fans have filled with plastic. A longread on The Cut has the world talking and the comments section aflame. We try and make sense of the writer praising marrying old (up) and its warped feminist bent. And we're banging on about new Netflix series "3 Body Problem" and comedy festival season!

Myf and Zan are debriefing on the week of music, art, life, and stuff and this week the stuff is preserved moss art. We'll explain. More details have dropped on Beyoncé's country album, and we'll unwrap all the easter eggs in the track titles she revealed overnight. And Splendour in the Grass is the latest festival to cancel in 2024. Why does this keep happening, and what does it mean for our local scene? Balenciaga have come through with another absolute piss-take in the FARSHUN stakes, and we're off to the local hardware store to get one immediately. And Princess Kate has revealed the reason behind her absence. How do the cards fall now the truth has been revealed? We're banging on about some big life stuff too; a new podcast called Grave Matters, and Ken Loach's latest and final film The Old Oak.

Myf and Zan are wrapping the week that was, and the countdown clock is set for Beyoncé's country album. We unpack her statement of intention, and an alternate cover for the record which shows she'll be educating us again with this release. The case of a man not allowed in a Ladies Lounge at MONA has us fascinated, not least because the whole thing has become a work of art itself. And in the Netherlands a fish doorbell is being pushed via webcam all over the world. Don't worry, we'll explain. We'll dive into the latest #KateGate theories and piccies too cos y'know, there's more. And we're banging on about HBO miniseries Love Has Won, and Apple TV series Palm Royale.

A lot can happen in a week. The last time we met, the conspiracies around Princess Kate's MIA status were being met with caution. Then... well, a lot happened. Myf and Zan unpack the timeline of what's gone down, while trying not to gurgle down the drainpipe of conspiracy themselves. Twitter is back, and can you believe the royals resurrected it? Huge week for the other illuminati too, with the Oscars being dished out and the ceremony giving us life. We catch up on the highs, the lows, and of course the FARSHUN. Hollywood's Walk of Fame got a new star this week as well, and wait till you hear Zoe Kravitz absolutely roasting her dad Lenny at the unveiling. And it's time to check in on the gays, as the queer community recovers from Kylie joining Madonna on stage in Los Angeles for a long awaited duet. How very Padam. We've been watching good stuff too, with Myf banging on about the new Feud series: Capote Vs the Swans, and Zan watching Academy Award winning film The Zone of Interest.

Welcome to March, things are just as wild as ever. Myf and Zan unpack the week that was including the news of Hacks' return, the sad loss of iconic Iris Apfel, and Our Kylie being made to do a shoey. Kate Middleton AKA the future Queen of England, hasn't been seen in a while and oh boy the conspiracy theories are poppin' off. And prestige drama has taken hold on TikTok in the most unlikely of ways; long form videos asking the valid question "who the f**k did I marry"? Resident TikTok consumer Myf explains it all. It's fashion week somewhere (every week), and Paris is freeing the nipple in a big way, while Zan is banging on about a great fashion doc and Myf is watching American Fiction.

What a wild week. Fred again.. announces an arena tour within days, a Wonka Fest in Glasgow gets the Fyre treatment, and Pizza Shapes are now hot cross buns? Don't worry, Myf and Zan are here to explain it all for you.

Whoosh, what a week! Taylor Swift's American fans are freaking out about the MCG's lack of car park, Beyoncé has made history on the country charts, and we are put in our place with Dan Akroyd's musical chops. The new Spider-verse film has opened, and the coverage around Madame Web has been ferocious. Quotes taken out of context, conspiracy theories hatched... the narrative around the press tour has subsumed reviews of the film itself. It speaks to a larger discourse around movies these days, where the internal worlds of production take over meaningful critique of the film itself, and all in the name of clickbait. Oh, we go in. Elsewhere, lawn mowing is viral, the bush is back (again) and big hair's return says more than just hairspray sales. And awards season continues with the BAFTA's which means FARSHUN. Speaking of which, we're banging on about Apple TV +'s new Christian Dior series The New Look, and a brilliant novel The Bee Sting.

It's been a huge week for music cos the Super Bowl is on, and the biggest platforms on screen and off have been dominated by artists. Beyoncé stole the show by dropping her highly anticipated country era, with two new songs and an album to follow. The response has been interesting, and open up a conversation around who 'owns' country and who are the gatekeepers to the scene. This viral moment was a splash in a big pool of Taylor Swift's media domination; likewise, she used the Grammys stage to announce her new album and her dream run of record breaking, awards, album sales (and a Super Bowl win for her beau) has kept her in the headlines non-stop. As she arrives in Australia for her biggest shows ever we dare to discuss: are we getting a little Tay Tay fatigue? How are we complicit in this clickbait era? And when will the backlash begin? Alicia Keys has also been in the headlines, after her stunning performance at the halftime show revealed a smoothing out of her opening bung note, in post. A small thing leads to bigger conversation around shared history, memory, and trust when it comes to our collective experiences. Meanwhile Naomi Campbell is leaning fully into her germophobe vibes with some antibacterial fashion (tongue firmly in cheek), and we're banging on about a doco on "We Are the World", and the brilliant Blindboy podcast.

It's a huge week of music, as all 3.5 hours of the Grammys unfolds. Zan has watched it all, Myf's seen the highlights, and we're here to unpack it all for you. Stick around too, cos we're gonna go deep into the amazing Grammys FARSHUN. The trailer for Amy Winehouse "Back to Black" has been released, and we're in two minds about how we feel about it. Related; the divisive Saltburn is keeping people talking. Not least cos an Australian radio producer and Jacob Elordi have gone head to head on bathwater hunting in Sydney. Meanwhile, did you know you can get a Saltburn bath bomb? Check the ingredients. And we're banging on about some great stories.

Myf and Zan are back for 2024, and it's a big bang! A huge week for music too, with a showdown between Univeral Music Group and TikTok raising big questions around what artists are paid, how they appear, and what AI will do to the music in the future. AI and deepfakes have been in the cycle too, with Taylor Swift and local MP Georgie Purcell. Image based abuse is growing, and often targeted towards women. We unpack everything that went down. In happier news, some big records were smashed and history made in this year's Hottest 100; it was all very padam. And FARSHUN is busting out of the gates with mob wife, eclectic grandpa, and winklepickers. What are winklepickers? Oh we'll explain. And we're banging on about a great podcast full of pearls of wisdom, and Sofia Coppola's new film Priscilla.

Hi Bang Fam! What this? A surprise little gift for you, as we head into Festivus! Back in November Myf and Zan headed to Nagambie Lakes, a beautiful spot about 90 mins north of Melbourne, for a huge comedy weekender called Comedy In the Vines. We did a live version of Bang On, amongst stand up sets from Celia Pacquola, Dave Hughes, Geraldine Hickey, and Susie Youssef. It was very silly, it was a bit windy, and we definitely made a giant cut out of ourselves and forced Luke McGregor to play “pin the wine on Myf and Zan”… but we also had some wonderful Bang Backs with two very funny comedians and mates, and wanted to share that with you. So dive in, as Rhys Nicholson bangs on about a podcast Zan is absolutely bingeing this summer, and Luke… well… you should just hear it yourself. Oh, and we’re very stoked that we’ll finally be bringing Bang On LIVE to the whole country! We’ve just announced a huge national tour, visiting places we’ve never been before and bringing Bang On to capital cities and towns alike. We hope to see you at one of the shows. Until then, have a safe, restful, and beautiful New Years. Thank you for your love and support of Bang On this and every year. We love youse heaps. See you in 2024. x Show notes: Rhy Nicholson’s Dish: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/dish-9781761046759 Keys to the Kingdom: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/keys-to-the-kingdom/id1707091523 Bang On LIVE shows: https://comedy.com.au/tour/bang-on-live-myf-warhurst-zan-rowe/ Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au Bang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

It’s our final episode for 2023 and Myf and Zan are handing over the reins of Bang On to you, Bang Fam, for an epic Bang Back. We love this episode, not just cos we get to hear from our beautiful community of Bang Fam, but also cos you gift us with an epic list of summer recommends. Books, TV shows, podcasts, even beanies get a look in. We check in with some mates across the globe too, including a very special catch up with Suzie. Thanks for your ears, your heart, your support, and your bang backs throughout 2023. We can’t wait to Bang On with you again next year.
