About this episode
Bonjour! It's a tres bien Bang On this week and we're all in on everything Olympics: Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, nuggie ban, and the farshun. Oh and the sport, that too.
Emily is in Paris again for S04, but she's also in Rome. We have the latest updates on Myf's fave soap opera and speaking of sports, Katy Perry has been announced as pre-game entertainment for the AFL Grand Final. Fingers crossed Left Shark makes the trip down, too.
Kamala is brat and we go in on the most joyful part of the US election race thus far. And Chappell Roan is stepping back following some parasocial relationship boundary crossing. How to be a pop star today? With great difficulty.
We're also banging on about reality series Trixie Motel and blockbuster remake Twisters. Think of us as a familiar silly salve, in this wild world.
