The cult Aussie rom-com everyone's been quietly obsessed with is back for its third and final season, and if you've somehow missed it, now's the time to catch up. Its real-life married co-creators have the kind of chemistry you can't fake, backed by a scene-stealing cast of chaotic families and coworkers. Plus, The Spill team hit the premiere of the biggest superhero movie of the year — don't worry, we're keeping things spoiler-free, but we're unpacking why even the Marvel-fatigued are walking out obsessed, one surprise appearance we're still not over, and the very human story underneath it all. And if you're after something completely different, we've also got a recommendation for a tense new shark thriller set inside an underwater cave system. Think claustrophobia, friendship drama and one very angry bull shark.

Twenty-five years on, we're taking Elle Woods back to court, and this one holds up better than almost anything else from 2001. First up we get into the real-life story the movie is based on: the real law student who felt like an outcast for loving pink and for the fluffy pen she took to class.Then there's the casting chaos that nearly sank the whole thing. Christina Applegate said no, Britney Spears was in the mix, and the studio thought Reese was too "unlikeable" to lead, so we break down the audacious move she pulled to land the role, and why it only works because of her.And finally, the ending you never got to see. In a rare twist, test audiences wanted more, and the alternate version they nearly went with would've turned the whole film into a cautionary tale. We unpack the courtroom perm logic, and the graduation speech Donald Trump allegedly lifted from Elle Woods.Remember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news… OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.In this episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show, I'm joined by Alexa Bigwarfe, USA Today bestselling author, publishing coach, founder of Write|Publish|Sell, and creator of the Women in Publishing Summit.Alexa has spent years helping women and underrepresented voices publish professional books, build author platforms, and grow businesses around their work. But in this conversation, we also get to talk about her fiction side: the romantic comedies she writes under the pen name Lexi Haddock.Alexa shares the story behind her Paris-inspired fiction series, beginning with 4 Days in Paris, a book that was more than ten years in the making. The novel began with real-life inspiration from Alexa's own time living and working in Paris, including a romantic New Year's Eve encounter in 1999. As she says in our conversation, she wrote the story the way she wished it had ended.We talk about what it means to draw from real life while still creating fiction that works for readers. Alexa opens up about the challenge of honouring real people and true memories while also shaping the story into something with enough tension, conflict, and emotional movement to become a satisfying novel. She also shares how friendship, Paris, and even the Eiffel Tower itself became central characters in the book.One of the things I loved most about this conversation is how candid Alexa is about the timing of creativity. She began the original version of the book years earlier, but it wasn't until 2020, while going through a divorce and living through the pandemic, that she returned to it. At a moment when writing something heavy felt impossible, romance gave her a way back into hope, possibility, and joy.We also talk about the other books in the Sparks in Paris series, including the Christmas novella set in Strasbourg, France. Alexa shares how much she loves European Christmas markets, how she brought in elements of her military background, and how a small character from an earlier book found her way into the starring role.Of course, because Alexa is also a publishing coach, we talk about marketing too. She shares what it's like to market her own fiction while also running her businesses, and why tying a book to a theme, season, or reader mood can make a big difference. Her Christmas novella gave her a chance to connect with readers who were already actively looking for holiday books, and she got to see some of the strategies she teaches authors actually working in her own author life.In the second half of our conversation, Alexa shares what's changing with the Women in Publishing Summit and why she's moving toward a more community-based model. We talk about networking, business skills for authors, content strategy, and the importance of having a generous writing and publishing community around you.And yes, there are more Lexi Haddock books on the way, including Back to Paris and a World War II novel set in France.This is such a lovely conversation about romance, reinvention, publishing, community, and the long, winding path a book can take before it finally becomes what it was meant to be.

Everyone on the show is always watching things. Everyone except one person. Well that all changes today. Naturally, he's breaking his streak of not watching things by watching slightly stale rom coms starring Miranda Cosgrove. Also Hoppers. That's relatively new, right?Official discussion hub: https://completedisaster.live/2026/07/06/july-6th-2026/

So it's time to crown the best new shows so far, and we're not holding back.We start off with the Ryan Murphy drama that's turned Paul Anthony Kelly into the internet's collective crush and earned more rewatches than we're willing to admit. Then jump straight into the regency spinoff that we're convinced will make an entire generation obsess over the "ugly sister."Then we dive into a show that might just be a career defining moment for Elle Fanning, unpacking a series with a curse so hectic it's taken over Google, and admitting Mindy Kaling's latest sitcom almost lost us in episode one before winning us back completely.Take The Spill's monthly pop culture quiz here and test your knowledge!Remember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news… OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!

Nancy Meyers' The Holiday is the kind of movie that knows exactly what it's doing: it's polished, sentimental, and very aware of its own charm. It's not subtle, but that's part of the appeal; the movie leans hard into comfort, fantasy, and neatly packaged romance, and for the right audience, that's enough. What makes it stick is how easy it is to watch and how little it asks of you beyond showing up.

This week on Tipsy Casting, we're diving headfirst into our July Q&A with listener-submitted questions from Instagram.We're talking pet peeves, casting hot takes, the box office conversation around Disclosure Day and Supergirl, and what those numbers might mean for what comes next.

For Rec Seg, Matt revisits the grueling, ice-cold dread of corporate culture with a 2019 workplace thriller, while Jordan counters with a classic 1982 Sidney Lumet thriller packed with more twists, turns -- and smooches!
