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.

#295: Tenacious D, Shannen Doherty, Katy Perry

Myf and Zan are back and we've got heaps to unpack. Tenacious D's tour cancellation, Katy Perry's confusing comeback single, and some hot rumours about sequels and surprise appearances.

We're going deep on BRATS too, the new doco on The Brat Pack, and we have thoughts. And speaking of coming of age memories, the sad death of Shannen Doherty has us reflecting on her roles in our lives.

Zan has a big debrief of London fun too, including a robot ABBA review, and Balenciaga are trolling us again with their latest collection.

Need something to binge? Myf is banging on about new Aussie series Fake, and Zan is raving about the Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie, and Emma Stone series The Curse.

#297: Opening Ceremony, Wax Figures, Hoof Boots

It's been a very EXTRA week, and so we're going early cos frankly we're busting to unpack it all.

The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony is camp AF and we're here for Blue Man Group Dionysis, Renaissance horsewoman, a ménage a trois nod, and death metal beheadings of Marie Antoinette. Obvs we're on the floor watching Celine's return. Wow.

CD's are having a renaissance of their own, thanks mainly to T Swift, but a sweet editorial has us reminiscing about the beloved compact disc and the memories they hold. And on the anniversary of Sinead O'Connor's death, a wax figure has been unveiled in Dublin. It's not good.

Bang Fam have been DM'ing us the Alexander McQueen hoof boots left right and centre too, and trotting down the runway with this hairy FARSHUN. And we're banging on about the Von Dutch doco and Nick Cave & Sean O'Hagan's beautiful book of conversations.
