The Spill

We are officially in our Emily Henry movie era! With People We Meet On Vacation dominating the timeline this week, everyone is looking for that next great story to get lost in.
If you’ve been staring at your bookshelf feeling uninspired, this episode is your emergency rescue kit. We are revisiting the six specific books guaranteed to drag you out of a reading slump, no matter how dire it is.
We’re talking about:
The modern romance that rivals Poppy and Alex’s chemistry.
A tear-jerking family saga that feels like a movie in your head.
The obscure romantasy series we bet you haven’t heard of (but will obsess over).
Consider this your prescription for the long weekend: put down the phone, pick up one of these books, and prepare to be unavailable.

The Spill has a new podcast thats devoted to TV bingeing! Our latest ep contains all the fan theories, cast reveals and easter eggs about the new series of Bridgerton to get up to date before Season 4 comes out. Listen now on Apple or Spotify or the Mamamia app.

Spillers, we've got a special treat for your Sunday listening, from our sister podcast Watch Party - which you can find now on Spotify and Apple.
We are officially in our "professional yearning" era. Bridgerton is almost back and in this episode, our superfans go beyond the trailer to discuss the massive production secrets, the showrunner swap, and why this season is being called the "steamiest" yet.

You'll learn more about:
Production Deep Dive: We break down the 8-month shoot, explain why the show is moving from pastel springs to a "classic rock" autumn aesthetic, and reveal what to look out for when Season 4 Part 1 drops.
The Cast Shake-Up: Who is back (and who isn't), the "curated" chemistry of the press tour, and the fan theory about a potential queer romance for a surprising character.
Fan Theories & The "Beyond": who will we see more of? Will someone die?! And will we really see a Kanthony comeback?
It’s your essential briefing on the scandals, the cast changes, and the romance before the carriage arrives for Season 4.
If you love this episode, make sure you’re following the Watch Party feed! We’ll be dropping new breakdowns when Part 1 drops on Thursday 29 January and again for Part 2 in February.

The book-turned-Netflix rom-com that has the internet in a chokehold… it’s time for our brutally honest review of People We Meet On Vacation.

We’re unpacking Emily Henry's beloved novel and putting it head-to-head with its Netflix adaptation — from what translated beautifully on screen to what absolutely did not. We get into the cast, the chemistry (or lack thereof), and Emily’s very strong gripe with main character Poppy (… can someone say Pick Me?).

Plus we're breaking down the one scene that never should’ve made it into the film, and another that's we’re genuinely devastated was left on the cutting room floor...things get so heated at one point that Emily nearly walks out of the room. Honestly, we almost lost a host today.

If you’ve read the book, watched the movie, or are just here for the mess — this one’s for you.

This week is stacked with new TV and movie releases, so we’ve rounded up the ones worth watching (and the releases everyone will be talking about).

First up, book lovers have been dying for this new series, hooked on a family full of sisters, to air, and it’s finally available to watch in Australia.

And Marty Supreme is sure to win Timothée Chalamet an Oscar, and it marks Gwyneth Paltrow’s return to the big screen as a leading lady, but is it actually as brilliant as everyone says it is? We’ll give you our honest verdict.

Plus, the new Game Of Thrones is here (yes, really, it’s in the same universe and based on the same books) and Em is ready to tell you exactly why you should watch it…with a bit of colourful commentary added in.
