Myf and Zan finally make the pilgrimage to Brisvegas, for a special live recording of Bang On and boy howdy, do the Bang Fam show up! It’s our first date with Brissie so, with some help from the Guardian, we make all the right choices about etiquette. Tarantino’s latest epic hasn’t come out yet but – much like the internet – we’re here to dish some hot takes without having seen it. And a brilliant piece on the handbag being a weapon for the patriarchy has us absolutely razzed. Special guest Yumi Stynes drops by to bang on, as does Beryl! Oh what a night. Where would we be without our beautiful Bang Gang?
