This week, Brodie is joined by Isobel Beech, the author of a true See Also FAVE book Sunbathing, to discuss the work of another a fellow auteur, Jennifer Lopez. Issy is trying to start a movement, and spread the word about JLo's "feature film" This Is Me … Now and its companion making-of documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told. So consider this episode activism.

We discuss the way she handles mud, her obsession with "The Block", how insuring your butt was 2000s culture, the "Zodiacal Council", and everyone dressing like they're extras on Younger. Brodie pitches a Freaky Friday reboot with her and JLo, and Issy declares, "There's nothing that JLo does that can't be done by someone else" … except this movie!!!

Right in with RHONY news: they're all back, minus Cass Bird. BL had an aborted trip to Sircuit, visited country Victoria again and tries to explain a techno event collab slash dinner that gets Very Melbourne. And Jinxy spent Easter going The Most Sydney: on a boat. Also: Girls 5Eva is Kate's favourite band.

Go see Zoe Coombs Marr's show Every Single Thing in My Whole Entire Life.

Then, we discuss the end (?) of the TradWife, and follow its threads into "DIML" content, the flattening of a life for clicks and what happens when all an audience can wonder about it is "where'd you get it?" We talk about hiding our content, out-of-pocket DMs and why subscribing for specific content is good, actually?

Speaking of: Members of the Hogg Hive get a bonus segment this week, recapping how we went with our plans for Q1.

This week, Kate and Brodie have been tootin' around regional Victoria. Jinxy gives a scene report of the local weirdo's bazaar in Chewton, and BL recaps her spending at the Alba Hot Springs restaurant. A quick Top Chef (show, not dog) update, recommendation for the rom-com Upgraded and a(nother) discussion of the wild decisions that went into the film Anyone But You.

Then: biceps up. It's LOVE LIES BLEEDING TIME! To avoid spoilers, skip from 24:28 – 54:22

We discuss the audience reaction, the pulpy energy, the merch (and missed opportunities), the macho sluts, Anna Baryshnikov comedy genius, Jenna Malone perfect casting, the better Franco brother, Ed Harris's hair. And Brodie, shockingly, explains the plot of Stepmom to Kate.

This week, Brodie was assigned the identity of a passenger who died the Titanic and it was GREAT!!! Jinxy had a recent perfect weekend itinerary with her sister. Do any straight men listen to this podcast???

Brodie explains the Tones and I origin story to Kate (sorry) then they discuss Two Weeks' Notice (important movie for girls who eat and poo a lot and fall) and cowabunga-ing at Timmy riding the worm in Dune. The girls have been watching: Southern Charm, The Regime, Mary and George.

THEN it's time to discuss the arguments between society women past and present: first in RHOBH, which wrapped this past week, and Feud: Capote vs the Swans.

Prepare for next week by going to the movies to watch Love Lies Bleeding – next week we're talking about every set, rep and pump.

Happy anniversary to us! Jinxy and BL debrief of the discourse around "girlhood" culture in light of the Barbie oscars snub, Gracie Abrams bows and Sofia Coppola of it all. They chat about TikTok users' blatant attempts to go viral with girl-branding ("Sleepy Girl Mocktail"), previous girl culture moments that did more than just wear pink. "Can we just go ahead and have IBS without making it into some signifier of hot girlness or cute little babyness?"

Tweet by @ronantyche: "barbie movie discourse is so funny because it's just a fun silly movie for the girls until you say anything against it, then it's modern day feminist text, and then when you critique it like feminist text youre misogynistic and insulting something fun and silly for the girls".

Kate and Brodie recap their viewing, visiting, dining and doing habits since Jinxy's return from Berlin. But first: Jinxy went to the Gold Coast Golden Globes aka the AACTAs! No Margot sighting though, sadly. Jinxy ate at Sway in Neukoln, got chicken in her "vegetarian miso bowl" and discovered some troubling reviews of a sauna. Between them, she and BL watched Awakenings, Primal Fear & The Devil's Own, the new Mr & Mrs Smith series, Safe and The Iron Claw. Brodie appropriated comedy culture and would like to apologise to the community.

Then! Spoiler alert! They do a full-season recap of True Detective: Night Country. The unreliable narrators, phone-detectiving, "heterosexual jump scares", frozen scientists, lost tongues and Billie Eilish theme songs our North Country girlies had to endure.

Skip to 1:08:53 to avoid True Detective spoilers.

This week, Kate and Brodie are being so decadent, so silly, so Mary! They're going deep on Daisy Von Scherler Mayer's 1995 cult classic, Party Girl, a movie that follows Parker Posey as Mary, who would like a nice powerful mind-altering substance, preferably something that will make her unborn children grow gills, before learning the Dewey Decimal System. We get into designer vs vintage, Liev Schreiber's British accent (better or worse than Brodie's BE HONEST?!), building main characters from all the side characters in other films, meeting the party girls in our own lives, Sisyphus being totally famous, the truth of the film's cultural insensitivities, where has pashing on screen gone, being daffy, The "Lady" Bunny as Itself, getting sick of all the street fashion in London … all those hats, librarians getting silly on the dancefloor. Am I a freak?!

It's a very special holiday Poodle episode! This week, for Valentine's Day, Brodie is joined by Monica Heisey, author of Really Good, Actually and the brains behind the new romantic comedy series Smothered (on Binge in Australia!) to discuss the iconic chain-smoking spinster, Bridget Jones and her titular Diary.

Together they discuss Hugh Grant's aversion to being a heartthrob and his tendency to be HACKED OFF, how getting a leatherbound diary is a rite of passage for women writers, Helen Fielding as the UK's Candace Bushnell, getting sprogged up (yuck), Mark Darcy's "work wife", when would Daniel ever have told Lara Bridget was thin?, getting a job in telly, aspiring to be a cigarette smoking woman with an apartment, we have so much to thank Richard Curtis for, and does the rom-com need a rebrand or do we just need to show them some goddamned respect.
