Bang On

It's been a big week for music, and we're all in with Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter". Myf and Zan celebrate the highlights, unpack the songs that don't quite hit the mark, and share some easter eggs from the album too.

Lizzo quit, then didn't, and we're confused. Meanwhile Billie Eilish is getting some backlash after calling out special edition vinyl, but y'know what? She'll be the one inheriting the earth that Rolling Stones fans have filled with plastic.

A longread on The Cut has the world talking and the comments section aflame. We try and make sense of the writer praising marrying old (up) and its warped feminist bent. And we're banging on about new Netflix series "3 Body Problem" and comedy festival season!

Myf and Zan are debriefing on the week of music, art, life, and stuff and this week the stuff is preserved moss art. We'll explain.

More details have dropped on Beyoncé's country album, and we'll unwrap all the easter eggs in the track titles she revealed overnight. And Splendour in the Grass is the latest festival to cancel in 2024. Why does this keep happening, and what does it mean for our local scene?

Balenciaga have come through with another absolute piss-take in the FARSHUN stakes, and we're off to the local hardware store to get one immediately. And Princess Kate has revealed the reason behind her absence. How do the cards fall now the truth has been revealed?

We're banging on about some big life stuff too; a new podcast called Grave Matters, and Ken Loach's latest and final film The Old Oak.

In Hobart, they caught up with artist and MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) curator Kirsha Kaechele for a conversation that had it all: Antarctic adventures, the Tasmanian forest wars, politics, performance art, cannibalism and much more.

Myf and Zan are wrapping the week that was, and the countdown clock is set for Beyoncé's country album. We unpack her statement of intention, and an alternate cover for the record which shows she'll be educating us again with this release.

The case of a man not allowed in a Ladies Lounge at MONA has us fascinated, not least because the whole thing has become a work of art itself. And in the Netherlands a fish doorbell is being pushed via webcam all over the world. Don't worry, we'll explain.

We'll dive into the latest #KateGate theories and piccies too cos y'know, there's more. And we're banging on about HBO miniseries Love Has Won, and Apple TV series Palm Royale.

The Bang On Live tour recently rolled into Newcastle, where Myf and Zan finally both recapped meme-worthy millennial hornfest Saltburn.

Myf’s still confused, Zan feels dead inside and as always, we can all agree it was too long.

A lot can happen in a week. The last time we met, the conspiracies around Princess Kate's MIA status were being met with caution. Then... well, a lot happened. Myf and Zan unpack the timeline of what's gone down, while trying not to gurgle down the drainpipe of conspiracy themselves. Twitter is back, and can you believe the royals resurrected it?

Huge week for the other illuminati too, with the Oscars being dished out and the ceremony giving us life. We catch up on the highs, the lows, and of course the FARSHUN.

Hollywood's Walk of Fame got a new star this week as well, and wait till you hear Zoe Kravitz absolutely roasting her dad Lenny at the unveiling. And it's time to check in on the gays, as the queer community recovers from Kylie joining Madonna on stage in Los Angeles for a long awaited duet. How very Padam.

We've been watching good stuff too, with Myf banging on about the new Feud series: Capote Vs the Swans, and Zan watching Academy Award winning film The Zone of Interest.

Myf and Zan’s Bang On Live tour of the country is off and running so here’s a taste of their first show in Adelaide where they debuted their travelling ‘jar of hot takes’.

Myf has some odd preferences when it comes to twisties, Zan has feelings about friendship bracelets and Bang Fam offer wisdom on choosing the right colour lipstick.

Welcome to March, things are just as wild as ever. Myf and Zan unpack the week that was including the news of Hacks' return, the sad loss of iconic Iris Apfel, and Our Kylie being made to do a shoey.

Kate Middleton AKA the future Queen of England, hasn't been seen in a while and oh boy the conspiracy theories are poppin' off. And prestige drama has taken hold on TikTok in the most unlikely of ways; long form videos asking the valid question "who the f**k did I marry"? Resident TikTok consumer Myf explains it all.

It's fashion week somewhere (every week), and Paris is freeing the nipple in a big way, while Zan is banging on about a great fashion doc and Myf is watching American Fiction.

What a wild week. Fred again.. announces an arena tour within days, a Wonka Fest in Glasgow gets the Fyre treatment, and Pizza Shapes are now hot cross buns? Don't worry, Myf and Zan are here to explain it all for you.
