#290: Amy Poehler, Brat Pack, Jerrod Carmichael

Myf 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: [email protected] 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.
