A long weekend is a perfect time for bingeing amazing movies and for many reasons, life is feeling a bit tough right now for most of us. So we’re calling in the power of movies because we’re all in need of some escapism and pleasant distraction. 

From epic romances to fantasy adventures and movies that will have you dancing on a bar, these are the films that will immediately fix your life (at least for a few hours).

On the show today, we need to discuss a new slasher movie that will soon be on our screens and we have a very unexpected opinion about the new And Just Like That Trailer.

Plus, Kathryn Hahn recently appeared on Amy Poehler’s podcast and the two women had a conversation about friendship that will leave you floored.

And one of Hollywood’s biggest publications has published a very damning report about Justin and Hailey Bieber’s life, tellings some stories the singer cannot recover from.

Today on the show, Khloe Kardashian opens up about her exes' betrayals and shares a shocking story about a trust violation that kept her away from therapy for nearly a decade.

Liz Hurley has a new man in her life, and his connection to one of music's most famous families has everyone talking. We dive into Liz's fascinating dating history that has absolutely no pattern whatsoever. It’s wild. We like it.

Plus Emily’s Paris circle is getting smaller, with Em’s favourite character not returning for Season 5.

Sure - the Pope passing away isn’t the sort of gear we usually discuss on The Spill, but it is when it links to one of Em’s FAVE ever movies! On the show today - we dive into the fascinating ritual that's straight out of your favorite Netflix drama - complete with secret ballots, chimney signals, and centuries-old traditions that even non-Catholics can't help but be captivated by!

Plus, Coachella 2025 is finally over after what felt like a month-long fashion parade. We break down what you missed, including the two Aussie podcasters turned up in literal Bunnings fits and won the entire festival.

And why is everyone talking about "Sinners"? Maybe because Michael B. Jordan playing TWIN BROTHERS in a 1930s vampire thriller is the movie magic we didn't know we needed! Despite incredible box office numbers and rave reviews, there's drama brewing behind the scenes about the director's creative control. The film that's changing the Hollywood game deserves your immediate attention!

There’s nothing we love more than a movie with a plot twist that shakes us to the core, so much so that we have to sit down and watch it a second time.

It got us thinking about the movies with plot twists so intense and storylines so cleverly crafted that we just had to hit the rewind button immediately and sit through them again.

As we head into the Easter long weekend, we've compiled the ultimate watch guide to see you through those blissful days off.

First up, the apocalyptic drama everyone's talking about returns for a second season with a shocking time jump, while the ultimate eye candy offering hits cinemas this weekend with not one but TWO Michael B. Jordans (Em is in heaven).

We're diving into the superhero series for people who don’t like superhero series - it’s more Suits meets Succession and it’s so bingeable. Plus we’ll tell you about a new edge-of-your-seat thriller that drops this weekend starring everyone's favourite White Lotus breakout in a game of digital cat and mouse - it'll have you second-guessing your next dinner reservation.

And if you’re seeking prestige drama, there's a beautifully crafted Australian war series featuring television's favourite brooding heartthrob in some rather... intimate scenes. Based on a prize-winning novel, it's the perfect emotional journey to justify that second (or third) chocolate egg.

On the show today, two juicy new trailers dropped onto our screens today, so now we need to discuss a slightly scandalous new movie and the return of a fav Aussie show.

Plus, once upon a time Addison Rae was just another girl riding the opening high of TikTok, now she’s cemented herself as the best kind of manufactured pop star and her recent stunt at Coachella deserves our attention.

And after 11 full minutes in space, the first all female space crew have returned to Earth, bringing with them an avalanche of memes and viral clips. Now we need to talk about how Katy Perry turned the event into a publicity opportunity, and the famous women who have slammed the trip as ‘irresponsible’ and ‘gluttonous’.

On the show today, news of a Pride and Prejudice remake coming to Netflix has reached our ears and people are losing their minds at the casting (including us).

Plus, fans are fuming at a survey distributed by Travis Kelce’s podcast that references Taylor Swift. But we’re less invested in that ‘scandal’ and more interested in why the world’s most famous woman has gone into hiding.

And The Kardashians is over for another year, but the latest season of the reality show has left a bad taste in the mouths of some diehard fans. The Kardashians are more famous than ever before, so let's talk about what’s really driving this perceived downfall.
