MAFS Chat: Nah Seriously, Where Is Elizabeth?

Sam has the chicken pox and Ines wants to touch them because…who knows. Virgin Matt tries to do a little Q&A with Loz and it’s, well, boring.  Particularly compared to Loz’s news that she used to date women and wants to “unleash the beast.” Mark is auditioning to be the next Commando Steve and Ning is confused because she thought they were one a reality TV show, not training for the SAS. And does anyone know where Elizabeth is? Clare and Jessie Stephens are here to investigate.

MAFS Chat: Ines Broke John Aiken

The week is almost over, which means one thing. Clare and Jessie Stephens are here to recap the week that was Married At First Sight for your entertainment. And boy, has there been some entertainment this week.  Let's start with Virgin Matt, shall we? He's hydrated and he's finally gotten with Lauren. But isn't losing your virginity on national TV a little...awkward? Not as awkward as having the world know you are constipated it seems.  Ines gets called The Hulk but takes it as a compliment...even though it wasn't. But let's just move on from that, shall we?   And Elizabeth puts a piece of pizza in a toaster and proceeds to make the whole country explode.  Yep, it's a big episode so let's get cracking...

Travels With My Father

There aren't many shows that can elicit a genuine 'laugh out loud'. But we're willing to guarantee this is one of them.  In this comedic travel-documentary style Netflix series, British comedian Jack Whitehall drags his somewhat old-fashioned father, 78yo producer and talent agent Michael Whitehall, around Asia (Season One) and Eastern Europe (Season Two). So is Travels With My Father the funniest series on Netflix, or a poor man's version of An Idiot Abroad? What's the running production feature that makes us feel uncomfortable throughout the whole show? And why are we left asking a big question about Travels With My Father and the success of Jack Whitehall's series at the end?

MAFS Chat: Ning's Nasty Surprise

Mark got his willy out and it's far too soon for Ning...and for all of us really. Melissa is making the most her Fijian honeymoon with Dino by yelling at him for talking about the Hindu God, Shiva before 8am. And thank goodness this guy knows how to meditate because...ALL THE YELLING! Jessika is more interested in seeing how many more followers she's attracted since going on a reality dating show and Mick is starting to think she might not be here for love....DUH. The Married At First Sight couples have been matched, married and are now knee deep in their fake honeymoons. That means it's time to get this MAFS Chat party started with our resident experts/reality TV hostages, Clare and Jessie Stephens.

The Bold Type

Scarlet Magazine isn't real. But according to former Cosmopolitan Editor Mia Freedman, it's as close to real as a television drama can get. If you're not too sure what we're talking about, you obviously haven't watched The Bold Type. But we're here to tell you that you need to.  The Bold Type on Stan was inspired by the life of a former Cosmopolitan Editor-In-Chief Joanna Coles, and it follows three 20-something women, Sutton, Jane and Kat, who work at Scarlet magazine, a glossy title that’s moving away from centering on beauty and fashion, and championing a new focus on feminism and politics (and a whole lotta racy sexy tips.)  It touches on work wives, relationship dramas, career progression, sexuality, the #metoo movement and white privilege. It's captured the hearts of LOTS of Australian women. But does it live up to all of the hype? Should it be compared to Sex And The City? And was it really like working at Cosmo? Rachel Corbett, Mia Freedman and Amy Clark discuss...

Bodyguard

It's your gripping British cop drama with an unpredictable twist or two (as well as a few predictable ones). Stan's Bodyguard tells the fictional story of Police Sergeant David Budd (Richard Madden), an heroic British war veteran living in London with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Budd's new job sees him working in a specialist branch of London's Metropolitan Police Service, protecting British Home Secretary Julia Montague (played by Keeley Hawes). If you're murder/mystery/drama tragic, this series is right up your alley. We unpack the the Bodyguard plot points that have everyone talking, and dive deep into the major plot holes we can't get over.

Dumplin'

Dolly Parton, beauty pageants and a message we'd love to see on the big screen more often. That's Dumplin', the film produced by Jennifer Aniston's company Echo Films following charismatic teenager Willowdean Dickson (Danielle Macdonald) on a song-filled journey of self-acceptance. Driven by the passion of her late Aunt Lucy, Willowdean struggles with identity, her overbearing Pageant-Queen-Mother (Jennifer Aniston), and body image issues far too common amongst teen girls. And with a splash of Dolly Parton thrown in for good measure, this is a feel-good discovery film with a twist we need to talk about.

From his early days dabbling in small-scale drug smuggling operations to the height of his blood-soaked cocaine empire, Narcos Seasons 1 and 2 looks at the life of one of the world's most infamous men, Pablo Escobar.

Bach Chat: WE MADE IT!

We made it everyone! It's finale week!! After a season of Magic Mike wannabes, avocado funerals & the word FIT being so overused we never want to hear it again, it all came down to Todd and Taite. Bill was sent home (finally) after lying about his ex/current girlfriend Amy and Todd told Ali she wanted her to be the mother of her children. Which pretty much guaranteed he was dead man walking. The family met the final two and Taite told Ali he wasn't sure about all this marriage and babies talk. Then, once again, we saw someone who'd done exactly what the Bacherolette asked him to do get his heart torn into a million tiny pieces. Ain't love grand. Jessie Stephens is away so Clare is joined by Rachel Corbett to dissect the final moments of Ali's search for love. Bach Chat is a podcast by Mamamia.

Bach Chat: Jog On Paddy

Paddy has left the Bachelorette mansion and hopefully that's the last time any of us ever have to hear the word "FIT." Osher's weird games have made a return and it looks like there's a new front-runner...Todd. We had a group date filled with horrible dancing (and Ivan wasn't even there), a visit to a fake apocalyptic wasteland and Ali beat up Charlie.

Bach Chat: Magic Mike Has Left The Building

This week on The Bachelorette, Ali farewelled two perfectly good avocados along with Ivan, Jules and Danny.  I think it's safe to say the next reality TV show we won't be seeing Ivan on is Masterchef. We were treated to bike building, a scavenger hunt and Ali's mates showed up to judge her taste in men.  Bill survived the dreaded double date and Patty's stopped saying "FIT"...at least for now.

Dawson’s Creek Was A True Story

Whether you were Team Dawson or Team Pacey, every 90s teen (and let’s be honest, adult) was hooked on the drama and PG angst of Dawson’s Creek.

Goodbye Rachel Zane, it was sweet while it lasted. With Meghan Markle flitting off to sip tea and wear crowns (or whatever the royals do) we’re deep diving into the tv show that made her a household name. With key players Rachel, Mike Ross and Jessica Pearson all leaving the legal drama, could this actually be the best thing that ever happened to Suits? The central storyline has always been Mike’s big secret, so what new characters and storylines will this make room for? And what will become of Jessica in her Chicago spin-off?

Is Wolf Creek Season Two Just Too Gory?

What happens when a busload of tourists visit the Aussie outback and encounter the infamous Mick Taylor? A whole lot of murderous fun is what! Season two of Wolf Creek strayed into almost comedic territory but still managed to scare us silly with its suspense and brutal killing scenes. We speak to Tess Haubrich (Rebecca) about filming in the desert and what happened when the cast encountered a group of living and breathing tourists. (Spoiler - they survived!) Plus, we discuss why after two movies and two TV series, John Jarratt is still the perfect villain. He ticks the crucial two requirements - he's menacing AND loveable. But most importantly, he never loses and he never dies.

The Biggest Lie The Crown Ever Told

We learnt a lot from season two of The Crown that you won’t find in the pages of a history book. For instance, the cream always comes before the jam on scones. Joining us on The Binge, Margaret herself - Vanessa Kirby - shares the alternate ending that you never got to see, describes the princess lessons she had to attend and shares the biggest acting challenge of her life - smoking 60 cigarettes a day. This season, Netflix's royal drama delved into the story of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and had us madly Googling the plot lines to divide the facts of the real royal family, from the fiction of The Crown. Did Prince Phillip really have an affair with a Russian ballet dancer? Was he responsible for his sister’s death? And was there actually a scandalous portrait of Princess Margaret?

Greenleaf is the Most Watched Drama on Netflix

Holy Oprah, how did we miss this gem? Netflix just released its most watched shows for 2017 and apparently Aussies can't get enough of this juicy religious drama. Starring and produced by TV royalty Oprah Winfrey, Greenleaf follows the unscrupulous world of the Greenleafs, a family teaming with scandals, secrets and lies. And while a show set in a church may sound fairly tame, don't be fooled - it has steamy infidelity, gradually revealed homosexuality and teen drug use without high-handed judgment. If you're one of the 3 million people who've devoured this show, pull up a pew. We've got a lot to talk about.

Join two diehard Marshmallows and one Veronica Mars rookie as we discuss the brilliant characters of this cult show, whether Veronica and Logan really were an epic love story, and how the sexual assault storylines eerily resemble the current state of the world.

There's a Major Plot Hole in The Sinner

The Sinner nailed everything Gypsy couldn't which is why this sleeper show is one of our favourites for the year. It’s eye-covering, sinfully good viewing, but there was one big plot hole that we need to break down. We deep dive on Jessica Biel’s acting chops and, more importantly, her fringe. Plus, the graphic moment that was even more unwatchable than the murder. And we’ve got all the news about season two of The Handmaid’s Tale, plus a well-timed departure for one of the main characters in Transparent.

BONUS: Pimps, Scientologists and Riots with Louis Theroux

How do you watch someone in trouble and not extend your hand to help them? What scares a man who’s interviewed pimps, serial killers and neo-Nazis? These are just some of the questions we had for the best documentary maker of all time. Best known for his work on Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, Louis Theroux has a brand new series on the way called Dark States. Across the documentary series, Theroux visits three American cities and examines a uniquely devastating human crisis in each - heroin addiction, sex trafficking and murder. Clare Stephens spoke to the British documentarian ahead of the release of Dark States, and it was pretty much the best day of her life.

Looking for your next true crime obsession? Mindhunter might just fill that void, but there's a problem with its treatment of women. And speaking of violence and darkness - when did it infiltrate teen dramas? We're four episodes deep in season two of Riverdale and trying to figure out how a show based on the wholesome Archie comics got so twisted.

Bach Chat #8: Love is as Fickle as a Vasectomy

Just when our opinions about Jarrod finally shifted... It was too late. That was truly the dumping to end all dumpings. And we are not okay.  Our cynical hearts momentarily thawed when Stu finally admitted his love for Sophie. But then our romantic sensibilities waned and we returned to our original stance. We just don’t buy it. We were impressed by the respectful way he handled questions about his ex and his playboy status though, so you get some points Stu.

Bach Chat #7: Sophie Monk is the Most Cultured Bogan Ever

Ugg boots and opera. She’s a woman of contradictions. We were seriously impressed with Sophie's appreciation of the finer things in life, but TBH, we probably would have spent that whole date Instagramming the view. By Apollo's time frame, Sophie will be popping out babies at 60. At least maybe Stu would actually be single by then. Speaking of Stu, is our view of him a bit clouded by... something? The $500 million dugong in the room is kind of hard to ignore. And then there's Jarrod. Is there room for chivalry in a modern relationship? And should the word ‘nice’ ever come into a conversation about love? Sorry mate, we think you just got friend zoned.

Bach Chat #6: We’ve All Been Ciao’d By a Blake

How a man responds to rejection says a lot about his character. So Blake… Ciao, douche. It also makes us really miss sweet, kind James. Apparently nice guys finish fifth. Plus, it was the great lie of The Bachelorette 2017… Jarrod’s vineyard. The chicks may dig a winery but at the end of the day he’s just a bloke living with his mum and dad. And Stu finally confessed to the big snip. But not to worry, a vasectomy reversal is just like a $10,000 bunch of flowers for rich blokes. Right?

Bach Chat #5: The One With the Tyra Banks Rose Ceremony

Sophie Monk got her smize on this week and fearlessly showed four men the door. But we're not quite ready to let go yet, so let's talk about Luke. Zara got it OH SO WRONG. Did anyone see it coming? And Sam has finally gone back to his nephews, possibly the only people in this world who will appreciate his 'magic dust'. So let's talk about the least attractive words we've heard in our lives - pretty much everything that comes out of his mouth.

Bad news for anyone who is afraid of the dark, because horror is making a return to the small screen.

The Other Guy, Will & Grace, and A Typical

It's the show that Australia didn't even know it needed. The Other Guy, Matt Okine's new show, is a raw, refreshing and tragic look at modern dating, and it breaks all the rules of network TV. We go behind the scenes with the breakout star, Harriet Dyer, who tells us exactly why it's so different. Will and Grace is the latest show to jump on the reboot bandwagon - but has the world moved on from the 90’s sitcom? Plus, is A Typical on Netflix the most important representation of Autism we have ever seen on screens? Or does it miss the mark? And remember when Pacey on Dawson's Creek slept with his teacher?

BONUS: Orange Is The New Black Season 5

Season Five of Netflix's most-watched show packed a bigger emotional punch than we’ve ever felt before. Join Laura Brodnik, Nicolle Stuart and Kelly Glover as they talk you everything that happened in the 72-hour riot at Litchfield Penitentiary. The bottleneck season was brave. But did the suspension of reality go too far? We finally spent time focussing on a different character (hello Tasty), but what does this mean for Piper? And the final episode lit a fire and burnt all we have ever loved down. Which makes us think our favourite show will never be the same again...Show Notes This episode is hosted by Laura Brodnik, Nicolle Stuart and Kelly Glover The Binge is produced by Elissa Ratliff for the Mamamia Podcast Network.

It’s hometown week. Which means things are about to get super serious.

Kancelling Kardashians, Amanda Knox and Diversity in Aussie TV.

The Kardashian Kerfuffle Kould mean the show is Kancelled. For a family whose fame was built on publicity, what now?

Bach Chat Week 8: When My Baby Goes to Bali.

What is it really like not being the chosen one on The Bachelor? We speak to last year's runner up Lana Jeavons-Fellows to find out. She was the intruder with the amazing eyes who (almost) gave Snez a run for her money. And she has some pretty amazing stories, too. Plus, we had temples and Buddhas and a whole lot of serenity. From the opening credits of the episode it became very clear that we weren't in Sydney anymore. And Amy Cooper could not be happier. Mainly because she got to speak Indonesian in this episode.
