What do Belle Gibson, Amanda Riley and Elizabeth Finch have in common? They all faked horrible illnesses to make money, build their brands and advance their careers! The cads! Nick and Kopano have a look at three documentaries about these women and the lengths they went to in order to con thousands of people through appealing to their sympathy and need for hope. Make sure you're not in a bad mood when you start listening. This one's a doozy!

Tariffs and Trigger Fingers
This week Nick and Kopano discuss the 100% tariffs that Donald Trump has announced of foreign films, what they mean, who they will affect, and whether or not they'e even workable. We also watched The Accountant 2, the new action film starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bethnal and Cynthia Addai-Robinson, who Kopano nearly met IRL. Untrue story!

Sinners and Saints (Michael B. Jordan)
This week Kopano and Nick watched Sinners, the new horror film starring Michael B. Jordan and also starring Michael B. Jordan. Kopano loved it because it has Michael B. Jordan in it (TWICE)! Nick liked it because he enjoys horror films and is ambivalent about Michael B. Jordan. Want to know what this film was actually about? Have a listen!

The Kids Aren't All Right
A bit of a dark episode this week as Nick and Kopano get to grips with some pretty disturbing shows. First up, the brand new season of The Last Of Us, in which a young girl tries to survive in a world with feral creatures, hostile humans and crushing disappointments. Then a look at the documentary on kid influencers, Bad Influence, in which survivors tell their stories of exploitation at the hands of a Momager. Really, we didn't know which show was darker...
Kopano & Nick love TV shows. And movies. And books. And video games (well, actually that's just Nick - Kopano not so much). Every week, the pair of them get together to discuss the entertainment that has been keeping their occupied and away from the mess that is current affairs.
