Ugly Female Friendships & A New Red Carpet Theory

Does it matter who a politician is married to? From Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese to defacto US president Elon Musk, we discuss what your partner says about you.

Plus, Season 3 of The White Lotus has given us a new iconic female friendship group. Why Laurie, Jaclyn and Kate’s glossy toxic dynamic is cringingly familiar.

And, with the end of awards season in sight, what do we really mean when we say we’re “worried” about the size of the women on the Hollywood red carpet?

PS: You can't miss Holly's chat about her own Roman Empire... Timothée Chalamet.
