Zan is back from holidays and just in time for the internet to gift us with some Big Dick Energy. It makes sense once you listen. Myf catches up on Zan’s Greek Island adventures, and finds out which tv shows and movies she cried to on the plane. And a new Netflix show has everyone talking.

May 31, 2018 #61: Roseanne, Kim K and Trump, Wild Wild Country
The star of TV’s biggest comeback has just been brought back down to earth, but how much of a surprise is her social media demise? The strangest pic on Trump’s twitter feed has us in a tizz, and there’s a #Farshun update that contains no denim but all style. Meanwhile Myf is watching docos on cults, while Zan is dipping into music industry history.

May 24, 2018 #60: Reverend Curry, Arrested Development, Westworld
Myf and Zan debrief on the epic sermon from Reverend Michael Curry at the Royal Wedding, and ponder the power of that speech. Ahead of the recut new season of Arrested Development, a New York Times interview with the cast has done more harm than good. And Beyonce bought a church. Cos she’s Beyonce.

May 17, 2018 #59: Spotify, The Americans, Jeggings
Myf’s dedication to the Bang Fam knows no bounds as she joins Zan from the London airport lounge to talk post Eurovision goss and the buffet spread highlights. A new Spotify policy has us once again considering the conversation around the separation of art and the artist. Zan has been devouring The Americans final season, why Myf is finding time on planes to read debut novels by Australian musicians. And there’s a farshun update. Of course. It’s Farshun Week.

May 10, 2018 #58: Eurovision, Met Gala, Childish Gambino
Myf is in Lisbon but nothing stops her from joining the Bang Fam for a gossip about the world of glitter, high drama and musical diplomacy. The Met Gala was a treat for the eyes, but was the theme a bit on the nose? And Childish Gambino’s new video (and song) is peak think-piece fodder, for good reason.

May 03, 2018 #57: Michelle Wolf, Janelle Monae, The Handmaids Tale
Myf and Zan have been diving into the many reviews and think-pieces following the White House Correspondent’s dinner monologue by comedian Michelle Wolf. Meanwhile Janelle Monae has released one of the albums of the year, with an “emotion picture” to boot. And the fate of a band’s album was once in the hands of Pitchfork reviews, but does it still have the power to make or break? There’s a bonus pre-bang too, cos we love our Bang Fam (and want to warn you against bad decisions).

April 26, 2018 #56: Royal baby, Avicii, Paddlesteamers
Myf and Zan and every other woman in the world are surprised about the time between childbirth and royal presentation of the new Prince, and have thoughts on that. The death of Avicii causes us to ponder the duty of care in not-so-traditional work environments, and Shania Twain has been copping heat for her perceived support of Trump. Meanwhile, Zan has been in Moscow, while Myf is on the Murray and we’re good with both.
