Anora is the movie that swept the Oscars this year, taking home Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing.

It’s also one of the wildest movie watching experiences we have ever had, so now it’s time for a brutally honest review on the movie that everyone is talking about. From the unexpected story behind the film’s plot, to the many controversies that surrounded it’s release and some eyebrow raising stories from how it was filmed, the conversation around Anora is just as intriguing as the movie itself.

Plus, we need to talk about the film’s ending, and how it left our entire cinema speechless.

It's been 20 years since we first met Meredith Grey and the surgical interns at Seattle Grace Hospital, and Grey's Anatomy is still serving up plenty of medical miracles, romantic entanglements, and catastrophic disasters.

Joining us to Brutally Honest Review the Shonda Rhimes hit series is our in-house Grey's expert Grace Rouvray, as we dissect everything from the most underrated moments to the character deaths that broke our hearts. From the iconic friendship between Christina and Meredith that gave us "you're my person," to the questionable storylines that had us rolling our eyes, we're examining what has kept viewers like us coming back for 20 seasons.

Plus, we reveal the dramatic behind-the-scenes controversies, debate which doctor was truly the hottest (are you Team McSteamy or Team McDreamy?), and discuss how the show's treatment of female ambition has aged in the era of the "pick me girl."

The fourth Bridget Jones movie, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, landed in cinemas a few weeks ago and now we must passionately discuss it.

From hidden costume details, to the story around a celebrity cameo that went viral, and an unpopular opinion about Hugh Grant’s character, there are so many juicy behind the scenes details that we have to reveal to you.

Plus, we need to debrief on the movie moments that brought us to tears, made us laugh…and then made us cry about the state of dating millennial men.

Brace yourself, because in Em's own words - this episode is 90% brutal. We have some very strong words for Belly and the Fisher boys. From the love triangle antics that had us yelling at the screen to the plotlines we couldn’t get enough of (and the ones that… let’s just say, tested our patience), we unpack it all. 

Yep, we’re diving headfirst into a brutally honest review of The Summer I Turned Pretty’s final season.

Plus, we spiral over the fact the universe isn’t over - thanks to Jenny Han, there’s a movie on the way, and we’re here for it.

Call Her Alex has landed on Disney+, offering a glossy, tightly curated look at the rise of podcast juggernaut Alex Cooper, but just how honest is the series really?

In this episode, we dive into how Alex's role in shaping the narrative we get to see as viewers. We also unpack her childhood and explore how she built one of the most influential media brands in the world, along with the unexpected role her husband plays in the empire.

Plus, we get into the moments that felt raw and revealing… and the ones that felt like they were left on the cutting room floor. Let’s just say, there’s a lot going on beneath the surface of Call Her Alex, and we get into it all.

Read the substack we explore about the lack of diversity among Call Her Daddy guests here.

The moment you've all been waiting for is finally here… our brutally honest review of And Just Like That Season 3 – the very last time we’ll see Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte on our screens.

We break down the character arcs, what really worked (and what didn’t), and unpack that shocking ending. Was this truly how it was supposed to end? Or was the finale cut short because the show was cancelled? The speculation is everywhere, and we have thoughts.

If you’ve been watching from day one, this is the farewell episode you don’t want to miss.

Today’s episode is a crash course in 90s pop culture Em never saw coming. After confessing a major entertainment knowledge gap when it comes to The Spice Girls, Laura decided it was time for an education.

From the origins of the world’s biggest girl group to the scandals, the hits, and the drama that dominated headlines while Em was still learning to walk and talk - this is the brutally honest Spice Girls history lesson we all need to brush up on. Get ready for nostalgia, girl power, and a deep dive into the 90s lore everyone should be across.

Sirens, starring Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, and Julianne Moore, has been one of the most-watched TV shows in Australia for the past week, so now it’s time for a brutally honest (and very emotional) review.

From where the story began, how it was adapted for Netflix, and what the cast really went through bringing this story to life on screen (let's just say the main actress lost some toe nails) we’re here to talk through all the behind the scenes stories that will change the way you see Sirens.

We also need to talk about those glaring plot holes in the series, the unexpected scene that gave us chills, Kevin Bacon's villain story, and then unpack exactly what happened in that surprise finale scene, along with why the show needs to come back for a second season.

Today we’re breaking our own rules to bring you a brutally honest review of We Were Liars. It didn’t just drop — but the amount of DMs we’ve had from Spill listeners demanding this ep was too wild to ignore.

We unpack the chaotic characters, the eerie mystery at the heart of it all, and the twist that left people gasping (spoiler alert: we have thoughts). Plus, the nepo baby casting you might’ve missed and the sneaky easter eggs that hinted at the ending all along.

This one’s messy, dramatic and full of opinions — just how you like it.
