Show Notes
Your girls are back and we’re quite devo, tbh. We unpack why the heartbreaking death of our ultimate ’90s movie mum, Catherine O’Hara, over the weekend has hit millennials so hard, triggering a collective spiral about ageing, time passing and the rude realisation that we’re very much the grown-ups now. Ahead of the Super Bowl next week, we are also asking a very important question: who in the what is a Bad Bunny? Lu delivers the crashiest of crash courses on the charming 31-year-old global superstar about to step into the performance of a lifetime. We finally deliver the shoe explainer you’ve been begging for, breaking down the sneakers, flats and heels you’ll actually wear this year, as well as a viral $25 thong heel you simply must know about. And to wrap, Lu’s in for the week is Wuthering Heights-core (but make it accessible), while Bella is channeling a ’90s school mum (Catherine would be proud!). - Mentions: Lily Allen performs West End Girl Down Under: Pre-sale from February 4 | Tickets on sale February 9, https://www.frontiertouring.com/lilyallen The Investigation of Lucy Letby: Netflix, February 4 Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model: Netflix, February 16 The BFF, Twoobs The OG, Twoobs Cushion Toe Post Heels, Kmart Valley Platform Casual Sandals, Betts Follow us: @the_fifth_trimester See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Worth The Hype?!, our brand-spanking-new, snack-sized series where we deep-dive into whatever’s having a major moment in the zeitgeist and ask the million-dollar question: is it actually worth all the fuss? First up, our favourite manic pixie dream boy, Troye Sivan, and his new album, She’s The Best. BB and Lu have VERY opposing views.

Our claim that three kids is the new affluent flex just about broke the internet, but it turns out the finance experts agree with us! Why does Selma Blair keep (allegedly) biting people?

Here’s everything you need to know about Tinashe. Feedback is a gift. We think? We’re deep-diving into some pretty savage feedback BB’s been copping and unpacking why it might just be the toxic equivalent of being told to “smile more!” Finally, our INs and OUTs feature a HUGE bombshell from Lu (introducing Daycare Daddy!), a journey into jorts and THE cool-girl shoes we’re desperately coveting.

This episode discusses alleged domestic violence. If you need help, please call 1800RESPECT Imagine being on death row, only for your execution not to work. That’s exactly what happened to Tennessee woman Christa Pike last week, and we’re certain it’s already being turned into a Netflix true crime documentary. Trigger warning on this one, DLs, as it deals with domestic violence. Former Bachelor star Sam Wood has been charged over an alleged domestic violence incident in Noosa over the weekend. We’re beyond over the problem this country has with violence against women, so where to from here? Then, a silly little palate cleanser.
