In the week that Afghanistan fell to the Taliban we’re processing the stories and images being beamed out of the country and how we get our news. In particular, a TikTok explainer made by Guardian Australia Matilda Boseley has gone viral — why are so many people talking about it?

All My Friends Are Racist is a new ABC comedy series about zoomers, friendship, politics and cancel culture. BW + BL talk to series co-stars Davey Thompson and Tuuli Narkle who play on screen besties Casey and Belle.

HBO’s The White Lotus finale dropped quite a load on us: showing us who dies, who wins and who loses during one hectic week at the luxury Hawaiian resort. SPOILER ALERT: BL + BW discuss the finale in detail.

And finally, the Jeanaissance has arrived: we love Jean Smart in Hacks and so should you.
