We're back! After a Bali escape and a very necessary holiday,
Kate and Tansy return to unpack everything.This week, we dive
into Lena Dunham's new memoir Fame Sick, unpack the internet's
outrage over Zendaya wearing ancient Iranian artefacts on the
Odyssey press tour, and discuss why Tom Cruise's latest role
might finally earn him the Oscar that's eluded him for decades.We
also get into Ariana Grande's rumoured reunion with ex-boyfriend
Ricky, the story behind Pedro Pascal's controversial Game of
Thrones audition, and why success in Hollywood is far more
strategic than people like to admit.Then we finish with a
conversation that matters. Following another devastating week of
violence against women in Australia, Kate and Tansy discuss why
women are angrier than ever, why the current response isn't
enough, and why it's time for governments—and men—to stop
expecting women to solve a crisis they didn't create.This week we
discuss:• Lena Dunham's Fame Sick and the Jack Antonoff
conversation• Zendaya's ancient earrings and the ethics of
wearing historical artefacts• Tom Cruise's new film and his
long-awaited Oscar campaign• Ariana Grande's split from Ethan
Slater and rumours she's reunited with Ricky• Did Pedro Pascal
steal his Game of Thrones audition—or simply back himself?• Why
ambition isn't a dirty word in Hollywood• Australia's ongoing
epidemic of violence against women and why meaningful action
