This week, we’re diving into some hot topics, starting with the outrageously sexist remarks made by Triple M’s Marty Sheargold during prime time radio. We discuss his shocking comments about the Matildas and his claims that endometriosis is a fabricated issue.

In the true crime realm, Caitlin shares her thoughts on the gripping documentary series, Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke. This three-part investigation reveals the harrowing story of Ruby Franke, a former YouTube vlogger and mother of six, who was arrested for child abuse in August 2023 and sentenced to prison in February 2024 after pleading guilty to aggravated abuse against her children.

On a lighter note, we discuss Mindy Kaling’s brand-new comedy series on Netflix, Running Point. This entertaining 10-episode series stars Kate Hudson as a reformed party girl who unexpectedly takes charge of her family's pro basketball team and must prove her mettle as a businesswoman.

For book lovers, Danika reviews her two latest reads: The Reformatory by Tananarive Due and The Widow’s Husband’s Secret by Frieda McFadden. Plus, we’re excited to announce our March book club pick: The Spirit Collection of Thorne Hall by J. Ann Thomas.

Netflix’s highly anticipated true crime documentary American Murder: Gabby Petito was released last week, looking at the infamous 2021 murder of Gabby Petito at the hands of her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. 

Despite Caitlin’s negative review of the first 6 episodes of Love is Blind season 8, she pushed through and watched the latest episodes, recounting the drama for us all, including the concerning number of toxic men who are simply looking for fame who were cast.

We finish this week’s episode with our weekly recap of Married at First Sight Australia.

First up, we dive headfirst into LIV Golf 2025 and our official realisation that we’re done with lining up for things. 

In the world of Australian TikTok drama, we dissect the Jordan Tan vs. Jack McIntosh drama, unpacking the cringeworthy encounter and the important conversations it sparked about consent, boundaries, and male ego. We also call out Kayla Itsines for her hypocritical rant about "hyper-sexualised" fitness content, given her own history of profiting off women's body insecurities. 

We’re drowning in reality TV lately. This week, we share our lukewarm takes on the latest season of Love is Blind. With the biggest cast ever, this Minneapolis season is surprisingly boring and forgettable. We're also back in the Hamptons with Summer House, discussing Paige and Craig's breakup, the cheating rumors, and Lexi and Jesse's hilarious dynamic. And of course, we can't forget MAFS. We break down all the couples, from Carina & Paul to Jacqui and Ryan and their "crazy eyes" drama. Plus, we discuss the brewing cheating scandal with Sierah and Adrian, and Morena's explosive appearance on Abbie Chatfield's podcast, where she spilled some serious tea (and maybe broke contract?).

Finally, we wrap things up with Danika’s latest read: The Wrong Daughter by Dandy Smith. This popcorn thriller about a kidnapping, family secrets, and unexpected twists is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, or Sally Hepworth.

It was the Grammys for the girls last week, with huge performances and wins by Docheii, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, plus Beyonce FINALLY went home with her first ever Album of the Year award.

Netflix’s latest series, Apple Cider Vinegar, was released over the weekend too and Caitlin shares her initial thoughts on the dramatised look at the life of wellness guru Belle Gibson, who had a large social media following, where she pretended to be suffering from cancer but keeping the disease under control using self-care therapies. She confessed that none of it was true.

We recap a week of MAFS, with the couples entering challenge week. As always, the men proved to be weasels while the women were starting to realise they are too good for their ‘husbands’. 

We wrap this week’s episode with Caitlin’s review of The Reunion by Bronwyn Rivers: Ten years ago, six teenagers hiked into the Blue Mountains wilderness - and only five came out alive. The survivors have barely seen each other since the tragic bushwalk. Yet when an invitation arrives to attend a 10-year memorial of their friend's death, Hugh, Charlotte, Alex, Laura and Jack find themselves travelling back into the rugged landscape where it all began. The weekend at an isolated homestead in the bush - no phone signal, no distractions - should be a chance to reflect and reconnect. But each of the friends has been carrying secrets from the fateful hike. And someone will stop at nothing to get the truth.

This week's episode is packed with drama! First, we spill the tea on a huge influencer feud: Australian influencer Mikaela Testa's explosive 9-minute video exposing fellow influencer Anna Paul for alleged manipulation and exploitation of her young followers to boost OnlyFans subscriptions.

After all that reality TV drama, we're switching gears to discuss the critically acclaimed film We Live In Time starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. Prepare for some unpopular opinions on this highly popular movie – you might be surprised by what we have to say!

Finally, we're sharing what's on our reading lists: The Wrong Daughter by Dandy Smith and The Reunion by Bronwyn Rivers.

WELCOME TO THE DELULU DIARIES BOOK CLUB!

Each month, we will be releasing a dedicated episode to our book club read for that month, and to kick things off, we're starting with The Ledge by Christian White.

When human remains are discovered in a forest, police are baffled, the locals are shocked and one group of old friends starts to panic. Their long-held secret is about to be uncovered.

It all began in 1999 when sixteen-year-old Aaron ran away from home, drawing his friends into an unforeseeable chain of events that no one escaped from unscathed.

In The Ledge, past and present run breathlessly parallel, leading to a climax that will change everything you thought you knew. This is a mind-bending new novel from the master of the unexpected.

This week, Caitlin is starting us off with a detailed review of her latest podcast obsession, The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby by CBC & BBC World Service about a woman conning doulas with multiple fake pregnancies.

We take a look at the 2025 Oscar nominations to see who is up for awards and who got snubbed (cough cough Challengers) before diving right into our viewing for the week. Despite our busy week, we managed to watch the first episode of the three part reunion for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City S5 (Hayu) and Apple TV’s newest series starring Leo Woodall, Prime Target.

We take an early look at an exciting new series by Mindy Kaling starring Kate Hudson called Running Point (Netflix), a basketball themed, workplace comedy dubbed the next Nobody Wants This by Mamamia. 

We wrap this week’s episode with Danika’s review of Rebecca Yarros’ Iron Flame and our first thoughts on the third installment in the series, Onyx Storm.

Happy Monday girly pops! With Onyx Storm releasing this week, Danika is crashing out trying to finish Iron Flame. She's also discovered a new hidden talent: tarot card reading.

Caitlin dives right into the major news story of the week: the arrest and charging of an Australian influencer for poisoning her baby girl to elicit donations and boost online followers.

We then jump into our latest viewing: Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action (Netflix), Molly Mae Behind It All (Amazon Prime) and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale (Hayu), which might we add, was the most batshit and iconic finale ever (thanks Angie K).

Caitlin reviews one of our latest reads: an advanced readers copy of Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart, coming out March 13.

This week, Caitlin talks about her experience braving Sounds by the River with the oldies in 37-degree heat while Danika decompresses from her first week back at work. 

We discuss the tragic and terrifying fires in LA, from the TikToks we have seen to the celebrities impacted by the devastation and Spencer Pratt's unexpected success after losing his home. In a complete 180, we talk about Lily Allen's split from her husband, David Harbour, after finding him cheating on her.

Earlier in the week, we made a visit to our favourite place on Earth, the cinema, and saw Nosferatu starring Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Nicholas Hoult. We deep dive into the history of the film and our thoughts on this gothic tale of a horny vampire.

Caitlin reviews the 2023 film, Bottoms, starring Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri before we dive into our latest reality TV viewing: Selling the City (Netflix), Southern Charm (Bravo) and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (Bravo). 

To wrap up the week, Caitlin talks about her latest read: Talking at Night by Clarie Daverely, while Danika talks about her qualms with Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros.
