  Our Favourite Iconic Teen Movies Based On The Classics 16.10.2026 51m

  Em revisits the 2000s take on Twelfth Night that basically got her through high school English, while Laura makes the case for a beloved Taming of the Shrew adaptation she’s watched at least 30 times.Then, in an extremely rare reversal of roles, Em gets to be the one who drops a piece of pop-culture knowledge that genuinely shocks Laura, as she discovers in real time that a critically panned movie starring two real-life sisters was actually an adaptation of Sense & Sensibility. And frankly, Laura and Em would like to remind the critics that a movie doesn’t have to be a masterpiece to be an extremely good time.Plus, Em tells a story about taking a bus that has almost nothing to do with any of this, but may be the most important contribution to the episode.Listen to our Brutally Honest Review of Clueless here Listen to our Brutally Honest Review of Bridget Jones's Diary here.  Skip the 12-week waitlist.

  The Hug That Ended Sofia Vergara's Marriage & The Real Reason Lena Dunham Is Bringing Back Girls 14.10.2026 40m

  Joe Manganiello’s new memoir was meant to be about his health battle, but it’s his explosive claims about Sofia Vergara that everyone’s talking about. A refused hug, a tiny chihuahua and a cryptic ‘narcissist’ post later, we’re unpacking the messiest celebrity divorce fallout we’ve seen in years. We’re also spiralling over the announcement nobody saw coming: Girls is back. Lena Dunham has reunited Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshana for a new limited run, and we’re digging into why now is finally the right time (and who might not be invited back). Plus, the first trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew has landed, and with Meryl Streep voicing Aslan and a reported $280 million budget, we’re asking whether the magic is actually there.Read Lena Dunham's Substack here. Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.

  A Brutally Honest Review of Verity 09.10.2026 1h 5m

  Verity is one of the biggest movies in the world right now, and as you’d expect from a blockbuster Colleen Hoover adaptation starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, there is a lot to talk about. Laura and Em are giving you their completely unfiltered review of the movie — from the performances they couldn’t look away from and the twists that genuinely shocked them, to the darker moments Laura found particularly confronting. They unpack what worked, what absolutely didn’t, the choices they’re still trying to make sense of and whether the movie ultimately lives up to all that hype. And Em has come armed with receipts. Having read the original novel, she takes Laura through some of the biggest differences between the book and the movie, including the scenes and storylines she was stunned to see disappear, the changes that completely surprised her and whether Hollywood’s version of Verity actually improves on Colleen Hoover’s original story.

  WEEKEND WATCH: Josh Hartnett's Chilling New Series & The Movie That'll Make You Question Your Algorithm 08.10.2026 23m

  Need something to watch this weekend? Laura and Mon have two very different recommendations — one that will make you question everything your algorithm is feeding you, and another that may permanently change how you feel about dark bodies of water. First, Aaron Sorkin is returning to the world of The Social Network with The Social Reckoning, starring Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and an intensely committed Jeremy Strong. Based on the true story of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, it’s a smart, unsettling look at what was happening inside the company as its algorithms began pushing users towards increasingly extreme content. Then, Josh Hartnett is back in Below, a wildly atmospheric new Netflix series about a remote island community being terrorised by something enormous lurking beneath the water. There’s family drama, a surprisingly educational amount of ice harvesting and a genuinely horrifying sea monster — which, naturally, means Laura absolutely loved it.  Plus, The Kardashians are back for season eight, so Laura delivers a very important PSA about what she does — and absolutely does not — want from the new season.  Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.

  Kylie Jenner’s New Career Move Has Us Fuming & A Decades-Old Hollywood Scandal Confirmed 08.10.2026 47m

  Michael Douglas' new memoir is here, and it's confirming a Hollywood rumour that's been denied for 40 years. We're unpacking his torrid on-set affair with Kathleen Turner, the drunken Golden Globes outburst that started a decades-long feud with Julia Roberts, and the five 'quick phone calls' he had to make before committing to Catherine Zeta-Jones. Plus, Kylie Jenner has landed the lead role in a new murder mystery series developed with Kim Kardashian, and something needs to be said about what it means for TV right now. And the Hunger Games stars are heading to Australia, as McKenna Grace pays tribute to Katniss with a very important dress.

  Meghan Markle's New Video Has a Lot to Unpack & Kim Kardashian's Surprisingly Candid Interview 07.10.2026 35m

  Meghan Markle has given us an unusually intimate look behind the scenes of her new life, from making jam with Lilibet to beekeeping in Montecito and preparing As Ever's very expensive Christmas collection. We unpack everything hidden in the new video, before getting into the latest headlines surrounding Meghan and Harry's return to the UK — including the extraordinary level of scrutiny being placed on one seemingly innocent pub lunch.  Then, Kim Kardashian has given her first major magazine profile since confirming her relationship with Lewis Hamilton, and there is a lot to unpack. From the reality-TV ambition she had long before the Kardashians became an empire to her five-nanny household, parenting North in the age of TikTok and the surprisingly relatable reality of trying to fit far too much into one life, we're breaking down the revelations that made us look at Kim a little differently.  And Hailey Bieber has accidentally started an international investigation into one very important question: is Justin Bieber actually French? We have gone approximately 400 years into the family tree to find out.Read the Kim Kardashian profile here.

Plus, why her friendship with Dakota Johnson runs deeper than you think. We're also unpacking Bree's exclusive sit-down with Benson Boone, where he gets candid about the internet's version of him, the Harry Styles and Freddie Mercury comparisons, and a Kardashians answer that didn't go to plan.

  The Craziest Movie Plot Twists We’re Still Not Over 05.10.2026 44m

  In this replay of one of our favourite ever Friday roundups, Laura and Em dissect the films that promised a safe, simple story and delivered a reveal nobody asked for. There's the beloved rom-com twist that had entire cinemas gasping, the swoony drama with an ending so hated it still darkens people's faces, a kids' movie hiding something far more layered, and a festive love story with a twist so disturbing Laura's not sure if it's romantic or deeply unwell. Plus, Em sneaks in a pick that sparks a genre-rules showdown.Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.

  A Brutally Honest Review Of The Love Hypothesis 02.10.2026 49m

  We lit the candles, poured the wine and went in with an open heart, but one of us came out wanting her time back. This is our brutally honest (and genuinely divided) verdict on the rom com everyone's talking about. We dig into the chemistry problem between two actors who sparkle with everyone else, and the shakiest fake dating excuse we've ever heard, where a dog, a house or one single friend would have solved everything.We break down where the slow burn went, from a sunscreen scene that should have sizzled to a red dress moment that deserved a staircase, plus the one word in the sex scene we cannot stop talking about.It's nostalgic, it's frustrating, it's a masterclass in marketing. The Love Hypothesis is streaming now on Prime Video, and with the sequel on the way, we'll be back to see if anyone took our notes.Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.
