Russell chatted with Susie Porter, who starred in The Travellers, a new Aussie film shot in regional WA. Also featuring Bryan Brown and Luke Bracey, and directed by Bruce Beresford, the film followed a stage designer who returned home to farewell his dying mother, only for the trip to spiral into chaos as he faced family tensions, old flames, and one very irritating sister. Susie spoke about filming in WA, reuniting with Luke Bracey and Bruce Beresford, and more.

Brisbane is officially title town after sweeping the AFL, NRL, NRLW and State of Origin, with the Broncos led by 23-year-old Reece Walsh beating the Storm. Back in Perth, the Dockers Club Champion Awards saw an emotional farewell for Nat Fyfe and Sonny Walters, with Barra calling Fyfe equal to Pavlich as the club’s greatest despite never winning a premiership; Caleb Serong claimed his third straight Doig Medal over Andy Brayshaw, while Patrick Voss was named Best Clubman. Meanwhile, 60,000 packed Optus for the Bledisloe Cup where the All Blacks’ Haka thrilled before handing the Wallabies an 11th straight defeat — Australia hasn’t held the trophy since 2002, 23 years ago.

Everyone loves The Rock, and now he’s teamed up with Ben Safdie for The Smashing Machine. Ben O’Shea popped in to give Russell the lowdown and it did not disappoint. The film sees The Rock step into the role of an MMA fighter, with Emily Blunt delivering a fantastic performance alongside him. What the movie does especially well is capture the emotional struggles behind the sport, though it stops short of exploring its moral complexities of the sport. Tune in to hear the full review.

Barra was left stunned by the price of showbags at this year’s Royal Show - $30 a pop? No thanks. He reckons the scariest thing isn’t the rides, but the ATM. His money-saving tip? Pray your kids come down with something during show week so you can skip the trip altogether. Barra also shared his thoughts on chore rosters and asked Russell if he’s gearing up to loan his kids money for their future mortgages.
