A coward's palace

This week on Already Saturday we enter the Big Brother house with special guest James Law, and discuss the VIPs in the house (plus Meghan Markle's brother, who's also there). Big Brother is watching, but is Trump? Omarosa certainly thinks he is tuning in to 7Plus to spy on her, but we aren't so sure. Caitlyn Jenner's reality show experience is paying off big time in the BB house, too. We also have some insight on what her trip to Australia cost her run in the California Gubernatorial Recall Election. We also discuss the latest season of Succession, and wonder why anti-heroes (like Kendall, Shiv, Roman and Logan Roy) rule the small screen in the modern TV era. Already Saturday is an independent podcast, hosted and produced by Sydney-based journalists Phoebe Loomes and Nathan Jolly.

This week on Already Saturday: We discuss Impeachment: American Crime Story, the FX drama series about the Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton scandal.  We talk about that weird, dark time in American culture—pre-mobile and social media, post 24/7 news cycles—and bemoan how brutally Monica was treated by all involved.  We break down her evil best friend Linda Tripp (and Sarah Paulson's performance of her), and laugh at the very-90s idea of chatting on the phone. We're on Team Monica. In this episode we reference this Samantha Selinger-Morris article about Lewinsky; a 2018 Vanity Fair piece Lewinsky wrote; and The Hollywood Reporter cover story about 'Impeachment'.

This week on Already Saturday: Daniel Johns is back and bearing it all in his new Spotify Original podcast Who Is Daniel Johns. We discuss all the revelations from the Silverchair frontman and some of the podcast's guests, including John Watson, Natalie Imbruglia, Paul Mac and Billy Corgan. Plus, we talk about the perils of becoming a star as a young teen, and being footballed around by the media -- and how this dynamic continues to play out with stars such as Olivia Rodrigo. And speaking of football, what kinda Daniel Johns podcast would this be if we didn’t cover the time he unwittingly became part of the Newcastle Knights 1997 Grand Final celebrations?

This week on Already Saturday, we open by bragging about how tough we were to survive the AZ shivers, before diving into a critical look at why this season of The Bachelor isn't hitting the right notes. The ratings are down, the drama is toothless, and all the women keep walking out of the mansion. We have a few theories on why this may be, ahead of the season finale. And because there is no televisual way to Keep Up With The Kardashians anymore, we have done a news sweep to bring you the latest and greatest news about the Kardashian clan and all their extended family. We've got a run for political office, the most boring soft drink range ever, inappropriate middle-aged PDAs, a new swim-wear line, and an ex-flame who's moving back to California.

This week on Already Saturday, we talk about the current seasons of The Bachelor and Survivor. Who will Bachelor Jimmy pick? Does a comment he made on The Project hold the key to who he chose? Why does he take flight simulators so seriously? We discuss all this and more. Survivor is also into the business end of the season, and we discuss George from Bankstown, a Labor political strategist who has found his role in the tribe as annoying but useful guy - it's probably a smart move, given that big game hunters have already picked off a few of the favourites.

This week on Already Saturday, we go deep on the latest season of Beauty and the Geek, and how it's a breath of fresh air during the pandemic. We also discuss Kanye West's latest album, and ask why he is currently living in a dorm-style locker room in a stadium, racing to finish the record. Don't worry, we are as confused by Yeezy Season 2021 as you are. We also check in on the Olympics and discuss Simone Biles' shock exit from the Games, and how fandom can be a possessive pursuit.

This week on Already Saturday, Sydney has been plunged into a lockdown, again. During the week, Britney Spears gave a shocking and heartbreaking testimonial about the controversial conservatorship she is under, and the inhumane treatment she has been subject to. We discuss the bombshell revelations, and how in hell this can all happen legally, and in relatively plain sight. Liz Phair, Justin Timberlake, Rose McGowan, and Tucker Carlson (yup) have also commented on the #freebritney movement, and we comment on them commenting.
