Mamamia Reviews

In an episode that makes absolutely no sense, we have one wedding but also two honeymoons. Justin the Entrepreneur tries selling his ice cream machine to some Pacific Islanders, and tennis coach Troy only gets weirder. Plus, why does one bride have a burger tattoo?

Two more weddings are upon us, which is unfortunate because we're pretty over weddings now. Fitness Instructor Nasser likes op-shops and would like to share stories about his shoes, while it all becomes a bit much for his bride-to-be's sister. Plus, tennis coach Troy's pre-nuptial Tuna comes back to bite him the morning after.

John from last season is back, and it turns out he’s still not Polynesian. He’s paired with the lovely Mel, and while the experts claim the match is based in science, it's obviously because John and Mel are the only two people in the experiment over 50. Plus, a groom named Troy loves tuna, and tries seducing his new bride’s mum.

It's HONEYMOON TIME. Our first round of couples are off travelling together and obviously Jo is the most excited anyone's ever been to go somewhere. Sean's disinterest in the relationship only grows, while Dean comes up with another sexist term for his new wife's breasts.

It's time for two more couples who've never met each other to be married! So get ready to delve into the cringeworthy best man speech, the bride who's clearly only in it for the Insta followers and why helicopter mum, Ruby might be the hero we never knew we needed.

It's time for two more weddings, but STOP. This is already ridiculous. Because Sean and Jo are the least compatible people to ever appear on this show. Either the experts pick the names out of a hat, or they're straight-up trolling them. Plus, a bride arrives first to a wedding (gasp), and a producer definitely gives a groom the wrong sized pants on purpose.

Strap on your skates and your spangly skirt, because we’re diving into the treacherous world of competitive figure skating. There's no sporting story more steeped in controversy than that of Tonya Harding, accused of a brutal attack on her opponent Nancy Kerrigan.

But is the movie version of the events true to life? And why has it been billed a comedy? We talk about Margot Robbie's brilliant performance and make-under as the uncouth and unstyled Tonya, the way she's portrayed as a villain whose side we can't help winding up on, and the showstopping scene that was never supposed to make it into the movie.

We are BACK, recapping another season of Australia's most ridiculous reality show, Married At First Sight. Join Clare and Jessie Stephens as they debrief on the most conversation-worthy points from the first night including the two weddings, some 'evil' brothers, and a misogynist on the hunt for a womb.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Now that the profanities are out of the way, let's talk about Netflix's brand new teen show. But it's not just teens that will love this dark comedy - the Bonnie and Clyde-esque adventures of Alyssa and James hit us adults in the heart, too. 

It's been called the new 13 Reasons Why, for its grim subject matter, but are these comparisons fair? And how can a show about rape, murder and a would-be psychopath be so damn funny?

Plus, we watched that soul destroying ending several times to provide you with the definitive answer to what the f**k just happened. You're welcome.

The BBC's remake of the cult classic Louisa May Alcott novel is a peculiar one. While it's beautifully shot and feels like a warm, comforting hug - there are plenty of moments that miss the mark in this modern adaption.

So how does it compare to the '94 flick? Did celeb offspring Maya Thurman-Hawke do justice to the character of Jo? And what would our favourite literary spinster Alcott think of this interpretation?

Join Laura Brodnik and Brittany Stewart as they try to figure out whether Little Women was a triumph or a tragedy. Then call your sister and tell her you love her!
