#290: Amy Poehler, Brat Pack, Jerrod Carmichael
May 30, 2024Tap to summarizeMyf and Zan are unpacking a huge week, and welcoming a surprise new member of the Bang Fam. Yes, the one and only Amy Poehler drops in for a chat and you won't believe what she's banging on about.We've got great news for our Bang Fam in the Top End too! And for southerners, Ramsay St is about to get a surprise new resident. A new doco on the Brat Pack, spearheaded by Andrew McCarthy, has us reliving our fave coming of age movies, while reflecting back on how this gang of actors was maligned back in the day.And a piece on pop culture, art, and amateur sleuths opens up a convo on authenticity, trauma, and emotional evolution that surprises us both. In Tassie, the most expensive album ever sold is about to spin at MONA for a lucky few, and on the streets of New York we're heading into our hot orthopaedic summer.And we're banging on about the compelling new Jerrod Carmichael "Reality Show", and the new season of Heartbreak High.Show notes:Amy Poehler: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7lNoLNROtq/?igsh=MWowdGNyaGo3c3Vudw==Darwin Bang On Live: https://www.darwinfestival.org.au/events/bang-on-live/Chrishell joins Neighbours: https://variety.com/2024/tv/global/selling-sunset-chrishell-stause-neighbours-cast-1236018632/Brat Pack doco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUjGATC7tWsAndrew McCarthy guest essay: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/27/opinion/brat-pack-andrew-mccarthy.htmlOriginal Brat Pack article: https://nymag.com/movies/features/49902/Amateur sleuths: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/article/2024/may/25/pop-culture-overshare-baby-reindeer-taylor-swiftWu-Tang at MONA: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-28/one-of-a-kind-wu-tang-album-to-be-played-at-mona-gallery/103900466Dr Scholls shoe of summer: https://nymag.com/strategist/article/dr-scholls-sandals-shoe-of-the-summer.htmlJerrod Carmichael: https://binge.com.au/shows/show-jerrod-carmichael-reality-show!26496Heartbreak High S02: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj5-uPt8718Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://www.abc.net.au/abceventsBang On merch: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

May 2, 2024Tap to summarizeWhoosh, it's been a big week and a half and we're here to make sense of it for you and provide a bit of respite. The exhaustion and anger felt by women in the last couple of weeks can't go unmentioned, and we share our thoughts about this endless, frustrating conversation around women's right to live safely.Cosmopolitan magazine is making a return as an actual glossy, our Nicole has just made history in America, and Myf is vindicated by the public's feelings on the perfect movie length.Jerry Seinfeld has joined the ranks of blokes of a certain age with opinions on political correctness, so we're going to match him by giving our thoughts on Unfrosted. Yep, his Netflix film on Pop Tarts is also your homework for the Sydney Bang On Live show, fam.Apparently there's a bunch of people who don't shower daily, or even weekly, and Zan is fascinated. And socks and sandals (also jandals) are making a big comeback! So are piss stained jeans. It's FARSHUN.We farewell a literary giant in Paul Auster, and we're banging on about a brilliant read from Anna Funder, Wifedom, and a fun watch on Bon Jovi.

#195: 007, Travis Scott, Roadrunner
Nov 11, 2021Tap to summarizeWe’re sifting through and making sense of the week that was, while looking with our eyes and listening with our ears.No Time to Die has finally opened, and Zan has her spoiler-free hot takes on the new James Bond (and what phone he’s using).The tragic death of eight people at Travis Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ festival raises questions about how why it happened, and if the artist holds the ultimate responsibility in keeping punters safe.A seasoned art critic has completely missed the context of a major work, and his ownership of that blind spot is truly a delight.And Joe Biden has executed a long fart in the company of Camilla Parker-Bowles. Why do we know this?!Meanwhile we’re getting excited for House of Gucci, and Myf is bingeing L’Opera while Zan is at the movies to watch the Anthony Bourdain doco.Vote for us in the Listeners Choice of the Australian Podcast Awards: https://australianpodcastawards.com/voteShow notes:No Time to Die: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw2FOYjCz38&ab_channel=JamesBond007Travis Scott’s “Raging” Made Him A Star: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/08/arts/music/travis-scott-astroworld-concerts.htmlDo Not Fart Near Camilla Parker-Bowles: https://www.thecut.com/2021/11/do-not-fart-near-camilla-parker-bowles.htmlI Missed the Point of a Major New Artwork: https://www.theage.com.au/culture/art-and-design/i-missed-the-point-of-a-major-new-artwork-but-does-it-matter-20211109-p597bx.htmlHouse Of Gucci: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGNnpVKxV6s&ab_channel=MGMJanet Jackson Superbowl Doco: https://consequence.net/2021/11/malfunction-janet-jackson-super-bowl-documentary-hulu/L’Opera: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/loperaRoadrunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihEEjwRlghQ&ab_channel=FocusFeaturesEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.

#139: The Kardashians, AI, I Hate Suzie
Sep 10, 2020Tap to summarizeIt’s the end of an era as Keeping Up With The Kardashians calls time. We reflect back on the empire (and wealth) this family has built, and why now is the right time to finish. An op-ed penned by robot AI has the human world in a tizz, meanwhile a phenomenon around bookstores and toilets has us oversharing. And everyone is talking about Billie Piper’s incredible performance in I Hate Suzie.Show notes:Keeping Up with the Kardashians: https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-ending-season-20-e-kuwtk-1234762635/Travis Scott Meal: https://www.vulture.com/2020/09/travis-scott-meal-mcdonalds-review.htmlMariko Aoki Phenomenon: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/629625/mariko-aoki-phenomenon-pooping-at-bookstoreA Robot Wrote This Entire Article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/08/robot-wrote-this-article-gpt-3AI Media Hype: https://thenextweb.com/neural/2020/09/08/the-guardians-gpt-3-generated-article-is-everything-wrong-with-ai-media-hype/The Circus: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/the-circusI Hate Suzie: https://www.stan.com.au/watch/i-hate-suzieEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.
