Superstars and Neighbours alums Daniel MacPherson and Remy Hii drop in to chat about their new stage production, 2:22: A Ghost Story, and reveal their own spooky encounters with the unexplained.

BL and WM delve into the Logies Awards and what Sonia Kruger's divisive win of the Gold says about Australian TV and the public's short memory of not-so-long-ago transgressions.

Plus, we banter about the cultural phenomenon of The Bear and Jeremy Allen White's short-shorts, and look at The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart and the challenge of telling stories of family violence on screen.

Geek culture IS popular culture now. And in the next 15 years, we’ll hit the point where superheroes as a concept have been around for a century. But you know what’s weird? Not many people know about the masked vigilante who started it all: The very first super hero. The Phantom. We're taking you into the murky world of publishing in the early 20th century (like Mafia murky) and into the origin story of the purple suit wearing, jungle dwelling, justice seeking hero; Kit Walker a.k.a. The Phantom

On this the first day of the 25 Days of Christmas (don't sue us ABC Family -- I mean Freeform!) we begin our month of Holiday Deviations kicking it off with a holiday favorite, The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star!

We are once again joined by Vanessa Hudgens, Vanessa Hudgens, and *drum roll* Vanessa Hudgens(!!!), playing Stacey, Margaret, and Fiona, respectively. And this time the limelight is all Fiona's! 

This movie has everything! 

• Vaguely Christmas related
• An African Cardinal (A man of God and a man of color)
• THE VATICAN'S STAR OF PEACE FROM SAINT NICHOLAS HIMSELF
• A security laser lights scene to rival Cameron Diaz's in Charlie's Angels
• A 2000s-esque dance credits montage"blooper reel"
• The "Switch" we all came here for
• The inconsistencies we have all come to expect, and dare I say....Love?

Join us as we breakdown the plot and many characters of The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star (who is, we think....Peter?)!

Millions of Australians are in lockdown, the national covid vaccine rollout is confusing to say the least — but we’ve got you, dear listeners!

BL + BW have prepared a care package of highlight interviews from the first half of 2021 for a safe, no contact delivery in your audio feed. 

Crazy Rich Asians actor Remy Hii, veteran of three quarantines, shares some tips on surviving lockdown and shares his vision for what’s next in Australian storytelling.

Randall Park of WandaVision, Fresh off The Boat and Always Be My Maybe shares a sense memory of being hugged by Keanu Reeves.

Malcolm Spellman, showrunner for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, talks about writing Black Lives, displacement, and systemic inequality into the MCU series.

It seems Ramsay Street may not be so neighbourly after all. Indigenous actors Shareena Clanton and Meyne Wyatt have gone public with experiences of racism and toxic behaviour while working on the set of Neighbours. Fremantle Media, which makes Neighbours, now says it has ordered an independent review of Neighbours and its production process.

Actor Remy Hii (Marco Polo; Crazy Rich Asians; Aftertaste) joins BW + BL to talk about how he made it through three stints of quarantine, his foodie passions and how he hopes to see the Australian screen industry take more risks.

And finally BL + BW blitz through some recent screen hits: Godzilla V Kong; Peter Rabbit 2; Supernova; and the Bluey Easter special.
