What do movies like The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, George Of The Jungle and Cruel Intentions all have in common?

Well, they are all heavily featured in this episode about the unexpected movies and TV shows from our childhoods that sparked a sexual awakening.

From slightly embarrassing confessions about animated characters we fell in love with (don’t pretend it hasn’t happened to you), to movies we really shouldn’t have been watching as kids and childhood classics you’ll never look at the same way again. Please enjoy this slightly NSFW episode.

Welcome to Weekend Watch, where we give you the heads up on the best new TV shows and movies that have been released this week.

This week, we have to talk about the return of one of TV’s most beloved franchises (think apocalypse vibes) and a must-watch comedy series from the creator of Knives Out.

Plus, three of our favourite actors, Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, and Kelly Marie Tran, have teamed up to star in a new movie, and now we desperately need to discuss it. Along with an unmissable new series starring a very sexy (and crime ridden) Jon Hamm.

Read Chelsea Hui's review of The Wedding Banquet:
Bowen Yang's new movie will make you want to call your family.

On the show today, our feeds have been flooded with images from this year’s Met Gala but there’s only one photo that truly matters, because it’s hooked on the greatest celebrity feud of all time.

Plus, we cannot ignore the truth any longer...the Beckam family is currently locked in an intense family feud. The feud is seemingly hooked on Victoria and David’s oldest sons, our favourite nepo babies, Brooklyn and Romeo. Now allow us to explain to you exactly what’s happened.

And Tom Cruise has a very famous new girlfriend, and since we know exactly what the stages of dating Tom are (thanks to his other famous girlfriends) we have some notes/warnings for her before things get too serious.

Welcome to our Met Gala special! The biggest night for the fashion and entertainment industry took place this week and there are so many juicy stories for us to unpack.

From a series of scandals, to some new celebrity feuds and some very questionable outfit choices, there are so many moments that the cameras missed that we need to talk about.

Along with the romantic moments that had us squealing, and a few moments that had us rolling on the floor laughing, this might be one of the most eventful Met Galas of all time.
Listen to our review of this year's Met Gala red carpet.

On the show today the 2025 Met Gala gifted us all a surprise celebrity pregnancy reveal and now we need to discuss the backstory to it.

Plus, we are joined by a special guest to break down the best, most surprising and most underwhelming looks from this year's Met Gala. From the significance of the theme, to the hidden meanings behind the most iconic looks and so much more, our most important fashion recap of the year is here.

And we need to have a brutally honest discussion about where concert culture is at, which will explain why Beyonce’s latest concerts have been filled with empty seats.

Follow the fabulous Glynis Traill-Nash here and hear her telling our Nothing To Wear podcast How To Nail A Designer Look Without The Designer Price Tag.

On the show today, Saturday Night Live had a slightly divisive musical guest on this week’s show, and Em Vernem has some brutal feedback for them.

And, just when you thought it was starting to die down, The White Lotus cast feud has erupted once again, except now there are three people involved.

Plus, Blake Lively has given her first interview since her legal battle with Justin Baldoni started making headlines and if you listen closely, there’s one comment that will completely change how you think about her.

On the show today, one of our hosts watched a terribly reviewed rom-com on Netflix (just a little film starring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron) and secretly loved it.

So it got us thinking, what are the other movies that critics and fans alike agree are terrible that we still love to watch (even though we’ll never admit it out loud).

From action movies, to horror flicks and romantic comedies with A-list stars these are all the terribly reviewed movies that we secretly love.

On the show today we need to tell you about the wildest new movie of the year (that you can now stream from the comfort of your own home) which is filled with murder, fashion and real life feuds.

Plus, a new action movie with an all-star cast has been released in cinemas this week, but can it save the largest movie franchise in the world? We actually have the answer.

And Netflix have dropped a highly anticipated new series just in time for the weekend, and it’s written by Tina Fey, so you know it’s going to be excellent. Here’s our honest review.
