#242: Succession, Eurythmics Nepo Baby, Pope’s Puffer

Myf and Zan are back to wrap the week that was, including Myf’s debut on the big screen and some ch-ch-changes in Zan’s world. It’s looking certain that White Lotus S03 will be set in Thailand, while in New York City the Roys are back for Succession’s final season. We discuss all we know so far.

Gwyneth Paltrow is the gift that keeps giving, and her civil trial for a skiing mishap has been one of the most entertaining and ridiculous stories of the week. We lean in, in category 5 neutrals, and share our favourite moments from the Utah courtroom. And speaking of privilege, a new nepo baby has been discovered in the audition room of American Idol.

Farshun gets a look in too. Did Pope Francis really don a couture puffer jacket? Or is AI to blame/thanks? There’s Bang On justice with the release of new iPhone emojis, and Myf has been frothing on Back in Time for the Corner Shop, while Zan is listening to the new podcast from the Serial team.
