Shameless

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS:

Everyone’s talking about hot takes, but a viral TikTok video got us thinking about lukewarm takes. ‘Cos you know, not everything is so serious all the time, etc., etc. We’ll take you through some of our favourite ones!!!! And then, the very funny, very terrifying clip from the AFL’s Instagram this week. And to finish: Slow News Week.

This week, Mich recommended watching ‘Trust Me: The False Prophet’ on Netflix, and also, a product! L'Oréal Elvive hair products. Zara recommended reading Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. And these fake flowers!

Thanks so much to Apple TV and its latest hit, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, for making this episode possible. Margo’s Got Money Troubles is streaming now, only on Apple TV, so make sure you’re signed up and tuning in. It’s definitely a must-watch.

And shoutout to Myer and Myer’s My Beauty Sale, too! It’s happening this weekend from Saturday April 18th until Sunday April 19th – so you can stock up with 20% off beauty from iconic brands.

Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1).

MONDAY ANALYSIS:

This week, a Courier-Mail headline caught our eye: “Margot Robbie, stop pretending you’re not a mum.” What happens when women in the public eye become mothers – but don’t show their kids on camera? With the justified push to take kids off camera, are we creating a world where the actual experience of motherhood is hidden from view as well?

Huge thanks to Pandora for making this episode of Shameless possible. Also, shout-out to Samsung!

THURSDAY QUICK AND DIRTY:

Olivia Rodrigo’s new album has been announced!!!! We have so many thoughts and theories to walk you through in deep, deep detail. A judge has dismissed most of Blake Lively’s claims against Justin Baldoni, and Brian Cox was profiled in The Times UK (we have mixed feelings about it). Chloe Fineman told a really weird story in a Vanity Fair interview, and finally, the time has come: we’re talking about Role Model and Dakota Johnson.
