Shoe’s loosened & Dua Lipa t-shirt on, we begin this episode with 2 things that have annoyed Em and both are tied to lazy journalism and click baiting. The first involves former Superman actor Dean Cain, the second, the creepy reporting of the recent AFLW Best and Fairest 2023 Awards. After that it’s props and a ‘Good For Her’ Award for Dolly Parton’s choice of a Dallas Cheerleaders outfit for her NFL Halftime Thanksgiving performance. Then we get to witness Micheal squirm as we delve into the reviews for Baz Luhrman’s TV series ‘Faraway Downs’, a reworking of the ‘Australia’ movie, now streaming on Disney+. The highlight, Michael being forced to review it and arriving at it being Hugh Jackman’s hottest moment on screen and a bunch of other equally beige and non committal observations. There is much pressing of the RuPaul Shade button. Finally, we move onto Barbra Streisand’s tell all ‘My Name Is Barbra’, Michael has finished it and is ready to offer up his final thoughts. Plus Em and Michael stumbled on Barbra’s 1986 concert filmed in the gardens of her Malibu mansion, to an audience of the 80’s most elite celebrities. There’s SO MUCH to unpack and it’s glorious in all the most delightfully delusional ways Barbra is famous for, bless. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
