#288: Nicole Kidman, Jerry Seinfeld, Cosmopolitan

Whoosh, 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. Bang Medicine.
