The Super Bowl halftime show took place today (allegedly some football happened around it, but we can’t speak on that). Now we need to talk about the best and worst moments and how Taylor Swift was somehow painted as a villain.

The Critics Choice Awards took place over the weekend and host Chelsea Handler made some wild jokes at the expense of Blake Lively and Ariana Grande. Plus we need to talk about the most surprising wins and acceptance speeches of the night along with a celebrity kiss that had us inappropriately swooning.

And we need to talk about an awards season drama that has changed the Oscars race. Emilia Pérez was set to dominate the Academy Awards and now one story has seemingly destroyed their chances for good.

On today’s show, it’s time to dive deep into the movie that has been consuming our thoughts, conversations, and TikTok feeds, Nicole Kidman’s new erotic drama Babygirl.

From some strange on-set stories that will make you see the movie in a different way to the fascinating reason why Antonio Banderas was cast and the hidden details behind particular scenes, there are so many layers to peel back and discuss when it comes to Babygirl.

And of course, we need to urgently dissect the movie’s viral sex scenes…but our opinions on them might be a little polarising.

And we haven't forgotten about Weekend Watch! Today we have an incredible new TV series starring one of our favourite actresses to recommend to you, and a new Netflix comedy that everyone is talking about.

Plus, Married at First Sight Australia's second week brings us to the infamous photo ranking challenge, where one groom's comments have brought up a very important conversation about dating preferences.

And, we delve into the latest developments in what's being called Australia's biggest influencer feud, as Anna Paul releases a much-anticipated response video.
