The Handmaid's Tale: The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword

Mamamia Recaps is the podcast that deep dives on the biggest shows on television episode by episode.

TV & Film

Well… Married At First Sight is over for another year. So what are we expected to do with our lives now? 
In an explosive finale episode that took approximately 7 years to air on our televisions, we got to see all the couples discover exactly how much they now hate each other and who’s been attacking who on Instagram. 
It turns out; Steve still doesn’t understand how he hurt Mishel, Connie believes the experiment has made her a better person and Stacey continues to lie about her one-night stand with Mikey. But that’s okay, because who doesn’t love watching a grown woman lie on national television?
Join experts Clare & Jessie Stephens as they wrap up the season and discuss what we can expect from our favourite reality-TV contestants next...

MAFS: 25 Broken People

With only a few days left until the explosive finale of award-winning documentary series Married At First Sight, we’re on the edge of our seats.
This week, Mishel finally had an awakening, dumping Steve on national television before throwing her ring on the ground (which the producers ran to pick up because they need that for next season). 
And in the 700th ‘final’ dinner party, things got heated after Vanessa dropped a massive bombshell on the group and exposed yet another cheating scandal.
Join the real experts, Jessie and Clare Stephens, as they dissect all the MAFS drama...

MAFS: The Cheating Court Is Back In Session

Well, we’re definitely at the pointy end of the season now and Married At First Sight has never been so deliciously dramatic.
This week, best friends Hayley and Stacey were reunited and got on like a house on fire…. Not. 
Plus, Ivan had gossip that he absolutely wouldn’t reveal so instead muttered, “that’ll change” obsessively whilst staring at the wall...Okay. 
And the final dinner party was everything we hoped for… full of honesty, awkwardness and cringe-worthy moments.
Clare & Jessie Stephens are here to explain what the heck is going on...

MAFS: The Accidental Break Up

Married At First Sight stops for no one… especially not a global pandemic. Regardless of what’s going on, MAFS will continue to be our dose of weeknight trash, that serves as a reminder of all that is good in the world.
This week, Jonethen tries to leave the experiment for the third time and Connie, don’t you understand, he doesn’t want to be here.
Plus, KC and Drew’s homestay goes down like a lead balloon after her family waste no time asking the most intimate questions about their relationship. 
And in Mishel & Steve land, some sexy texts have been sent and we’ve never seen Trish so excited in her life. Calm down Trish.
Your resident reality-TV experts, Clare & Jessie Stephens, are back to break down this week's madness from their bedroom cupboards...

MAFS: The Show That Stops For No One

Sometimes we think MAFS couldn’t possibly get juicier but then it turns around and surprises us.
This week, Ivan called out the experts after he’d had enough of their intimacy questions. And all we’d like to say is...Trish, we told you so. 
Speaking of Ivan, he was absolutely heartbroken when Aleks didn’t jump for joy at the plate of meat and one breadstick he put together for their date.
And in other news, the dinner party lived up to its usual dramatic standard and exposed both a big sex lie and a cheating scandal. 
Clare & Jessie Stephens are here to share their gut feelings on what went down...
