We kick off this week's ep with some pop culture bitties; Sofia Richie Grainge is pregnant, Millie Bobby Brown launches a clothing line and our take on the Oscar snubs and noms. 

The biggest story of the week was that Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were snubbed by the academy for their work in Barbie. We discuss the ~discourse~ that surrounded this, including the online outrage. We reference 'The Barbie Snub Outrage Proves That When It Comes To Diversity, We’re Only Thinking Of White Women' by Alexander Koster for Refinery29 Australia. 

Next, why is TikTok shouting about the need to ditch trends altogether in favour of personal style? Is this mission misguided? We break down the takes from TikTok users Alina Timo and Mina Le as well as Flex Mami's latest video essay. 

For recommendations, Jas loved the 2023 remake of The Colour Purple, while Maggie read Love Stories by Trent Dalton. 

See you next time! Jas and Mags xo
