Bang On

It's our last episode for a while, and we're sliving with unhinged energy. We'll wrap the big events of the week and year - yep, we're winding up with our big "Year in Review". Get ready to be reminded of all the cooked and wonderful things that happened in 2024. From the Willy Wonka Experience to Baz Lurhmann's unfiltered street chat, the powerful spectacle of the MONA Ladies Lounge case to Troye Sivan's bottomless bowl. Relive it all with us.As we step back from hot takes and embrace a bit of "me time", we asked you what you're making time for in 2025, and we'll share some of our favourite messages. And we wouldn't leave you without some juicy bang ons! A couple of wonderful watches, and a book that might just help you switch off as well.Bang On wouldn't be possible without an array of Bang Babes, Bang Boys, and one Bang Man; some brilliant producer brains. Many thanks to Kyran Nicholson, James Findlay, Cassie Walker, Corynne Tait, Caitlin Nienaber, Gabrielle Burke, Liza Perkovic, and Ryan Egan.Bang Fam, we wouldn't exist without your support, feedback, love, and community. Thank you for listening to Bang On over the past (almost) 8 years. Thank you for your emails, DMs, and crop dusting of "Bang Fam" out in the wild. We are so grateful, and so emo about you. We love you heaps! Thank you for everything. xWarning: This episode contains strong language.The Comedian for sale: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-18/how-a-viral-duct-taped-banana-came-to-be-worth-1-million/104614148Beyoncé halftime show: https://variety.com/2024/music/news/beyonce-nfl-halftime-show-netflix-christmas-game-1236212814/The Last Showgirl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZDs_lLGrTUThe viral "age gap" article: https://www.thecut.com/article/age-gap-relationships-marriage-younger-women-older-man.html#commentsIdeal film running time: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/29/ideal-movie-running-time-is-92-minutes-poll-claimsWilly Wonka Experience: https://www.thecut.com/article/willy-wonka-experience-glasgow-fyre-fest.htmlMONA Ladies Lounge: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-27/mona-ladies-lounge-decision-tascat-supreme-court-decision/104403720Baz on the streets: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-31/baz-luhrmann-tiktok-god-worthy/103920448Troye's bottomless bowl: https://www.buzzfeed.com/mychalthompson/troye-sivan-bottomless-bowl-reactionsMoo Deng: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/moo-deng-livestream/Pesto: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3w4nld5e3oBallarat homework: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81764579Trace podcast on Greg Lynn: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/abc-news-daily/the-trial-of-campsite-murderer-greg-lynn/104026272Martha: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81479059How to Do Nothing: https://www.blackincbooks.com.au/books/how-do-nothingSomebody Somewhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ompmd8tGRh0Bang On Live in Ballarat: https://comedy.com.au/tour/bang-on-live-with-myf-warhurst-zan-rowe/Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

It's another big week but all good, Myf and Zan are here to make sense of it all for you. And oh boy, the internet has delivered.In Detroit, a Bridgerton themed "experience" is drawing comparisons to the Wonka debacle early 2024 (and obvs we are all in). Speaking of period drama, Wuthering Heights is getting another remake, but fans aren't too happy about the casting of Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.Live streams are going off for a Thai zoo and we have Moo Deng to thank. The baby hippopotamus is still at her adorable, CBF best (ahead of her deadly, will kill anything that crosses her era), and we can't look away. But Pesto is coming in hot, a cuddly big boi of a penguin closer to home.We're unzipping Double J's "Filthy Fifty" to see if the list of the best f**king songs correlates to our own soundtrack, and banging on about new TV comedy The English Teacher, and French TV show La Maison.This episode contains strong language.Kylie Minogue tour: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-19/kylie-minogue-2025-australian-tour-dates-new-album-tension-ii/104373652Take 5: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/take-5-with-zan-roweDetroit Bridgerton Party: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-25/bridgerton-ball-detroit-disappointment/104393770Wuthering Heights: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/wuthering-heights-javob-elordi-margot-robbie-cast/Moo Deng: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/moo-deng-livestream/Pesto: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3w4nld5e3oFilthy Fifty: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/doublej/music-reads/features/filthy-fifty-50-great-sex-songs/104371738La Maison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnJ_HEM1CB4The English Teacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfvKrsaZrEA&ab_channel=FXNetworksBang On Merch Store: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveBang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

We love a red carpet, we love an awards ceremony, we love the Emmys. TV's night of nights had some real highlights, and we go in on the big winners, the interesting category choices, and of course the FARSHUN.The Office gets a local reboot, and we get a squiz at the first trailer.

Myf and Zan are back with a whole lot of music chat this week. As we press record the 40th annual MTV VMAs are on; always the most cooked red carpet of the year. The CMA Awards announced its nominations, and Beyonce is a glaring omission... We explore why.Kendrick Lamar has been announced as headliner for the sports concert with the Super Bowl Halftime Show as it's crowning moment. And Taylor Swift has come out and officially endorsed Kamala Harris (we are here for her sign off).Meanwhile Dave Grohl has knocked language out of the park with his weasel word announcement of an affair, and it's a loving farewell to the voice of our childhood: the iconic James Earl Jones.And we're digging into the wild docuseries Chimp Crazy, and banging on about an Isabelle Allende book and Netflix's new series A Perfect Couple.Beyonce CMA snub: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/09/arts/music/beyonce-cmas-nominations-cowboy-carter.html?smid=url-shareKendrick Lamar Superbowl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIEKK_j0fss&ab_channel=KendrickLamarTaylor Swift endorsement: https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/p/C_wtAOKOW1z/?hl=enDave Grohl affair: https://www.instagram.com/davestruestories/p/C_v4WBbyxnd/?hl=enJames Earl Jones: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-10/james-earl-jones-star-wars-the-lion-king-the-simpsons/104331850VMAs red carpet: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-12/vma-red-carpet/104336406Chimp Crazy: https://binge.com.au/shows/show-chimp-crazy!30032The Soul of a Woman: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54075385-the-soul-of-a-womanThe Perfect Couple: https://www.netflix.com/title/81474158Bang On Merch Store: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveBang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

Wait till you hear Myf's story about him.We're catching up on hot goss since we last hung out too, including Logies chat and Myf's run in with a plover. Speaking of birds, we have some key Peregrine Falcon updates for the new series. Who would have thought when we started back in 2017 that "music, art, life, and stuff" would actually mean "and birds"?We'll celebrate our milestone with some funny memories too (thank you Bang Babe Caitlin), and we're banging on about a coupla great books.

We’re living in the era of the music documentary. From the big screen to streaming to social media, films about our favourite artists are everywhere. But where to start? Well, Myf and Zan have done God’s work and watched a bunch of them.Inspired by the great lineup of music docos on the Melbourne International Film Festival program, this week Myf and Zan are talking about some of their faves.There’s new films about electro punk pioneer Peaches and cult Irish hip-hop act Kneecap; films that chart the rise and fall of icons like ABBA and Whitney Houston; and there’s those goosebump-inducing moments on film that capture transcendent performers at their peak.Melbourne International Film Festival: https://miff.com.au/Double J’s 19 music documentaries you can (legally) stream for free right now: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-23/stream-music-documentaries-free/12178630ABBA: Against the Odds: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/abba-against-the-oddsFreddie Mercury: The Great Pretender: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-program/freddie-mercury-the-great-pretender/1350182979700Whitney: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/whitney20 Feet From Stardom: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/20-feet-from-stardom/1985674819552Blasko: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/blasko/video/AC1541H001S00The Greatest Night In Pop: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81720500?src=tudumWham: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81137188?src=tudumABC Logie Awards Nominees 2024: https://iview.abc.net.au/collection/1374Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://www.abc.net.au/abceventsBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

Spoiler alert! This week, it’s all about woman of the moment Celine Dion and the new documentary that’s given us all a new appreciation of the superstar singer.I Am: Celine Dion follows Celine as she deals with the aftermath of her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome. It’s a confronting look at the harrowing physical toll the illness has taken on her health and her voice.We learn about her upbringing as one of 14 children, go behind the scenes into her warehouse of extraordinary farshun, and get a peek into her everyday life - from the most orderly sock drawer you’ll ever see to her kids’ bonkers gaming room.And of course Myf and Zan have LOTS of thoughts: about celebrity, health, ageing, perfection and an an old-school entertainer who’s given an extraordinary window into her life.Celine Dion: I Am: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/I-Am-Celine-Dion/0KESUWINP6U93HJ0FEZUVWNDZKBang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auProduced by: Caitlin NienaberBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

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.Show notes: Kasey Chambers book: https://www.hardiegrant.com.au/au/publishing/bookfinder/book/kasey-chambers-just-don_t-be-a-d__khead-by-kasey-chambers/9781761451027Opening Ceremony highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pe5xlUgyzkCD sales are growing: https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jul/28/cd-sales-rise-taylor-swift-collection-nostalgia-90s-oasis-bashy-metronomy-kitty-livSinead O'Connor wax figure: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-27/sinead-oconnor-wax-figure-taken-down-over-poor-likeness/104150802Wax celebrity figures: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/g19664055/bad-celebrity-wax-figures/?slide=4McQueen hoof boot: https://www.alexandermcqueen.com/en-us/pr/hoof-boot-808119WLAAB1779.htmlVote for Take 5 in the Logies: https://www.tvweeklogies.com.au/The Curse of Von Dutch: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0QYBYKB3RIIMODVVT5YT82791P/ref=atv_dl_rdr?tag=justau2tuk-22Faith, Hope & Carnage: https://www.nickcave.com/faith-hope-and-carnage/Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://comedy.com.au/tour/bang-on-live-myf-warhurst-zan-rowe/Bang On Merch Store: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveProduced by: Caitlin Nienaber & Nick GerberBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

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.Show notes:Katy Perry at AFL GF: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-25/afl-grand-final-entertainment-katy-perry-announced/104139812Celine and Lady Gaga in Paris: https://deadline.com/2024/07/celine-dion-paris-speculation-perform-olympics-opening-ceremony-1236018839/Tillies: https://www.pedestrian.tv/sport/matildas-australia-paris-olympics-uniform/No nuggies in Paris: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/22/chicken-nuggets-paris-2024-olympic-games-food-healthEmily in Paris S04: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLPk8yRq9_cKamala is brat: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/article/2024/jul/22/kamala-harris-coconut-tree-memeChappell Roan steps back?: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-22/icymi-chappell-roan-the-boys-finale-fangirls-eminem-taylor-swift/104125894#roanTrixie Motel: https://trixiemotel.com/Twisters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm27YjLnPHcBang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://comedy.com.au/tour/bang-on-live-myf-warhurst-zan-rowe/Bang On Merch Store: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveProduced by: Caitlin Nienaber & Ryan YoungBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

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.Show notes:ABBA doco: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/abba-against-the-oddsV&A exhibitions: https://www.vam.ac.uk/whatsonTenacious D: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-16/tenacious-d-trump-joke-cancel-australia-tour/104105448Devil Wears Prada sequel: https://puck.news/devil-wears-prada-sequel-is-in-the-works/Celine for Olympics: https://www.sortiraparis.com/en/news/olympic-games-paris-2024/articles/314513-paris-2024-olympics-celine-dion-star-of-the-opening-ceremonyKaty Perry: https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jul/12/katy-perry-womans-world-reviewBRATS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxVNQkRM5QwShannen Doherty: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-14/shannen-doherty-90210-charmed-star-dies/103796370Shannen's podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-be-clear-with-shannen-doherty/id1718531401Balenciaga festival wristband: https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jul/11/festival-wristband-balenciaga-3000-poundsWyong homework - America's Sweethearts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16IBBTd9iJMFake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_1Akqhjy6MThe Curse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tui5vl13GqgBang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://comedy.com.au/tour/bang-on-live-myf-warhurst-zan-rowe/Bang On Merch Store: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveProduced by: Ryan Young & Caitlin NienaberBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
