For another week of Musical Thursdays, Ruta and August spoke to John Xintavelonis, the actor playing Cal in the Australian tour of Waitress the Musical. John discussed his past roles, pie orders, advice for aspiring actors and even gave a few spoilers for the musical, which made us in the Cereal Box all the more excited to go and see Waitress for the first time, or once again.

Ella and Sam are joined by Rhian and Bill, director and producer of brand new Australian Documentary, Rodeo Dreams, premiering at the Sydney Film Festival next week. We hear about the process of creating a deeply personal documentary in the raw and tumultous environment of the Mount Isa Rodeo, how the story was born, and what Rhian and Bill hope audiences can take away from such an empowering and intriguing documentary.

Ella recounts a deeply traumatic fishing trip where a hook ended up in her cheek — Sam relates immediately, sharing that his brother had a nearly identical experience with his nose. That's not even Sam's actual confession though. His real one is simpler: is it weird that he's best friends with his mum? The more he notices how similar they are every day, the more he's leaning into it. Listeners, he needs to know if he's alone on this one.

Matilda and Natalie kicked off the morning with a round of chats inspired by today’s national days. For National Sorry Day, they reflected on this week’s question around rebuilding friendships and reconnecting with old connections.
Tit for Tat Tuesday brought a big choice to the table: would you rather give up all your favourite movies and TV shows, or give up social media forever? Matilda and Natalie made up their minds pretty quickly, but still had plenty to say.
Since it’s National Paper Airplane Day, the pair took a nostalgic turn into paper crafts, from origami to the little creative projects they made growing up. World Dracula Day also made an appearance, with some vampire talk and a quiz to find out what kind of vampire they would be.
And because it’s Blueberry Cheesecake Day, they wrapped the chats with some very important cheesecake preferences. Finally, they closed out the show with festivals and events happening around Melbourne this week.

This week in the Get Cereal Studio, we’re asking the age-old question, “Ya like jazz?” That's right, just like Barry Benson, we've decided to “shake it up a little”, absolutely buzzing to have a yap about this one, the infamous ‘Bee Movie’

Another beloved animated movie hits the studio in honour of World Bee Day on Wednesday; we've garnered a mixed bag of opinions in the studio…

Turns out one Get Cereal member has apparently been a secret bee enthusiast this entire time and finally gets their moment to shine. Another is still trying to figure out what the actual plot of this movie is, because genuinely, what on Earth is going on?

And our final team member experienced the cinematic masterpiece for the very first time this week. This groundbreaking movie sparked some surprisingly heated discussions in the studio today. Tune in as we unpack one of the most chaotic animated movies ever made.

Sam, Maddy and Natalie kick off with a packed pop culture recap — Cannes Film Festival updates, the FIFA World Cup announcement, and the news that Dice are heading back on tour in Australia.

It's World Bee Day so Movie Monday goes full Bee Movie, and Geek Pride Day has the group sharing the niches that make them genuinely light up — Pokemon, birds and video games all make an appearance.

Mission Monday delivers the results of last week's AI message challenge — who got fooled and who saw straight through it. Next week's mission is food themed, whether that's something new in the kitchen or a food they've never tried before.

Maddy closes out with everything happening around Melbourne this week.
