What new hockey romance series is everyone talking about?
For too long, Australian law didn't just fail survivors. It forced them into silence. Nina Fennell is a Walkley Award-winning journalist and a survivor who helped overturn damaging gag laws in the Australian justice system. She was the driving force behind the campaign that allowed women to finally speak their own names. Her work doesn't just tell stories, it drives change. Hi, I'm Gemma Bath, host of True Crime Conversations. And this very special two-part episode isn't just about the justice system. It's about what happens when women are finally heard. A raw, honest look at the power of a single voice, how silence is shaped and how women push through it. Hear my conversation with Nina Fennell on True Crime Conversations.

You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast.
From Mamma Mia, welcome to The Spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura Brodnick. And I'm Em Burnham.
And I'm Manisha Aswaran. Our producer Manisha's on this episode and she's still trying to fix her microphone.
It's all sorted now. Bear with us. Maybe it's the ghost that we introduced to the audience on yesterday's episode.
Becoming a member of the bench of The Spill team.
Yeah, please write in with your names of suggestions for the ghost. Or things you'd like the ghost to do or things you'd like the ghost to recommend.
Maybe her name can be Spilly.
I was just going to say Spilly. I was literally just going to say Spilly, not to take credit, Em.
Okay, well, it's Spilly. It's two against one.
Okay.
Well, maybe the ghost doesn't want it, so maybe it could be two against two.
I'm going to say it's a woman. The poor woman's already dead. Now you've given her a terrible name.
Definitely a woman.
Anyway, welcome to We Can Watch, where we talk about the best new TV shows and movies that have come out this week. The reason we've got three people today is we have three recommendations. We've all been watching new things. So we've got some hot new – well, mine's hot. Yours is hot too, I think. Hot. Adjacent. Mine's hot, hot, sexy. That kind of hot. Boys in naked showers as a little teaser. So we're going to recommend that. But first, Manisha, you have a movie rec.
Is yours hot?
Oh, not really.
The costumes look hot from what I've seen from the trailer.
The costumes, you could say, are hot. Yeah. Not like a sex kind of hot. Okay. A different kind. It depends what you think is hot. Like, everyone's different.
Getting into politics.
Well, this movie I was really excited to see because I kept seeing the trailers for it. Like, it was playing before Devil Wears Prada, every movie I went to. Obviously, it's the year of Anne Hathaway. So it's called Mother Mary. I think a lot of people would have seen the teasers for it because it looks super weird, which is why I wanted to see it. Like, very trippy. Yeah. So they call it a musical melodrama, but it's like a very serious, dramatic indie vibe meets pop star energy. So there's a lot going on. It's A24.
How does the hockey series blend romance and drama?
Artsy. Yeah, very artsy. So I would say this is a recommendation if you're in the mood for a bit of a like artsy, interesting vibe. It's basically about, so Anne Hathaway is a pop star. Her pop star name is Mother Mary. And she reconnects with her former costume designer, who's also her estranged friend. It's a murky history. There's also kind of like low-key vibes, like sexy vibes a little bit too. And she's played by Michaela Cole. Wow. I love Michaela Cole.
Me too. That's one of the reasons I really wanted, I'm so sad that I couldn't go to the screening, but everything I've seen at this movie, like the Anne Hathaway and Michaela Cole of it all. I didn't know she was in it. Yeah.
Oh my God, I love her.
They're like besties now. Have you seen her and Anne Hathaway on the press tour in their incredible outfits?
Anne Hathaway's so lucky.
Yeah. She's so lucky. Yeah.
Michaela Cole's so good at doing that kind of creepy vibe as well. She always plays like, yeah, creepy.
She's good at everything, that girl.
