The Spill

The leading lady for the upcoming movie Beach Read, based on the novel of the same name by Emily Henry, has been confirmed, and it’s what fans have been dreaming of. Now we’ve got a lead on which actor will be starring opposite her, and you might not like our findings.

And on paper Timothée Chalamet and Matthew McConaughey might not seem like the same person but they absolutely are. The two actors did a joint and very rogue interview this week, and we need to unpack all the reveals, including one that scarred us for life.

Plus, Hilary Duff has embarked on an extensive press tour to promote her album and upcoming tour, and she’s uttered a few sentences we never expected her to say. From family drama to insecurities about her marriage and the viral Ashley Tisdale essay about their mum group, there’s a reason why she’s choosing to speak on these subjects at this particular moment.

The BAFTAs have shaken up awards season… and the internet has turned on one of Hollywood’s most “relatable” couples.

On today’s show, we’re breaking down everything that went down at the BAFTA Awards — from the surprisingly safe red carpet to the wins that have completely blown open the Oscar race. One Best Actor upset has left Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio’s awards hopes looking a little less certain.Plus, the film dominating the night might just be the one that defines this year in cinema.

Then, we need to talk about Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. A viral essay dissecting their marriage — and the idea of being “hated by your husband” — has reignited long-simmering criticism of the couple. Their celebrity friends have rushed to defend them, but is this backlash actually about something bigger? We have thoughts.
