The Spill

Twenty-eight years later, the Owens women are back and we're emotional wrecks about it. As fans, we came ready to feel everything, and Practical Magic 2 delivered.

We get into the two deaths that destroyed us (one goodbye literally turns to glitter), the critics-versus-fans split repeating itself all over again, and the curse logic that we need to unpack.

It's messier, lighter and more sentimental than the original, and we still cried buckets. Whether you think it earns its place or dilutes a perfect film, you'll want to argue about it. Practical Magic 2 is in cinemas now.

Listen to Laura's interview with Nicole Kidman about Practical Magic 2 here.

The fourth instalment of Netflix's blood-soaked true crime anthology just dropped, and it's the first to put a woman at its centre. Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's daughter takes the lead, with Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, Billie Lourd and Sarah Paulson rounding out a very starry ensemble. We give an honest take on whether this gruesome, glamorised retelling lands.

On the big screen, a video-game horror reboot - but you absolutely don't need to know the game to enjoy it. Starring the breakout from 'Weapons', it's genuinely terrifying (all practical effects) but so funny you'll be cackling between screams. The rare scary movie even the horror-averse can survive.

Plus a quick PSA for Outlander fans: season two of the sexy prequel lands on Stan this Saturday, and you can jump straight in even if you've never watched the original.

We survived Emmys week, but while we were busy talking red carpets and acceptance speeches, the celebrity news cycle went into overdrive. First, we unpack the controversy engulfing Ed Sheeran’s tour after Macklemore was dropped from the line-up, the statements and withdrawals that followed, and how one viral speech set off a much bigger conversation.
Then, Aaron Rodgers has unexpectedly dragged his former relationship with Shailene Woodley back into the headlines with some very intimate claims about their engagement and breakup. Years after they split, we break down exactly what he said, how it compares to Shailene’s version of events, and why the internet’s reaction hasn’t gone quite the way you might expect.
And finally, the moment we’ve been dreading has arrived: AI actress Tilly Norwood is officially doing celebrity interviews. From her deeply unsettling press tour to a Leonardo DiCaprio joke nobody asked for, we need to discuss what happens when an entirely fictional celebrity starts behaving like a very real one.

Taylor Swift didn't turn up to the Emmys, but she still managed to hijack the whole night. Her pre-filmed sketch with host Mariska Hargitay was stuffed with Easter eggs, cryptic phrases and one repeated clue about something "hiding in plain sight," and Swifties have been decoding it overnight. We're unpacking what it all means for a certain long-awaited re-release.

Then there's the one real scandal of the ceremony. Matthew Rhys made history with two acting wins in a single night, but it's what he didn't do that set the internet alight. No kiss, no thank you, no acknowledgement of wife Keri Russell either time, and suddenly everyone was convinced their beloved love story was over.

Plus the Widow's Bay sweep that rewrote the record books, Jean Smart's history-making run, and the deeply uncomfortable pattern across this year's winners that we can't stop thinking about.
