The Spill

We’re closing out the year with Laura and Em bringing you their absolute favourite films of 2025 — from two girls whose actual job it is to watch everything.From the blockbuster no one thought would hit this hard, to the unsettling sci-fi surprise that completely rewired our expectations, to the movie that quietly became the most talked-about watch of the year, this round-up proves that 2025 delivered in ways we did not see coming.And because it wouldn’t be an Em-and-Laura movie episode without a fight, things quickly derail when one pick sparks a very real debate about release dates, eligibility for today's theme, and whether “vibes” should count more than rules (Laura has thoughts).Consider this your must-watch list before the year ends — emotional, surprising, occasionally unhinged, and very on brand.THE END BITS Love binge-watching TV?

Today we are celebrating the man who made so many of our favourite ever movies. We’ll explain how he shaped the romantic comedy genre - and reveal the one scene he regretted filming.Plus, is this year's Goop Gift Guide the recession indicator no one saw coming? Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest gift guide features an "Under $100" section for us "normies," and frankly, we’re terrified. We break down the strange pivot to affordability and find the few remaining items (like a $500 bathroom accessory) that prove she’s still out of touch. Phew. And we’re digging into a strange new trend of male actors setting boundaries around intimacy scenes. With George Clooney and allegedly Callum Turner both opting out of on-screen romance, we’re asking: are we entering a new, unsexy era of cinema? THE END BITSLove binge-watching TV?

The time has come. The first season of Ryan Murphy’s legal drama Alls Fair has come to an end and we desperately need to talk about it.For better or worse (and a lot of people will say worse) this has been one of the most talked about shows of the year, after dismal viewers and then record breaking audience numbers.So now we need to honestly critique Kim Kardashian’s acting performance in her first lead role and dissect the scenes in this over the top drama that had us both screaming and laughing (and not always for the right reasons).From the glorious fashion, to the significance of the guest stars and the award winning actresses who actually came through, here’s everything we can finally say about Alls Fair. If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — the National Sexual Assault, domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service.THE END BITSLove binge-watching TV?
