  • Your Two Favourite TV Stars Are Fighting & A New Spice Girls Scandal
    Jul 7 2025

    Today on The Spill, we unpack the official announcement from Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirming their split and what their joint statement really says.

    Plus, Scary Space Mel B has tied the knot! We get into the details of her wedding, the personal history that makes this moment so meaningful, which Spice Girls showed up… and which didn’t.

    And finally, Meghann Fahy and Penn Badgley are 'feuding' but it's all a play to promote their new rom-com. But are we still falling for these playful PR stunts? We explore the growing trend of ‘manufactured tension’ in Hollywood, and whether it actually moves the needle.

  • The Ultimate Binge: Movie Franchises That Never Disappoint
    Jul 4 2025

    SPILLERS - a little daily surprise coming to you from Monday on this feed at 8am. You're welcome!

    Today on The Spill, we’re celebrating the rarest of cinematic gems: movie franchises where every single film is worth watching. No skips, no flops, just pure binge-worthy magic from start to finish.

    We swap stories about the iconic series that shaped our youth (and discover a few wild generational gaps), as we break down what makes a movie franchise truly great, and why some still hold up decades later.

    And yes, one of our hosts was genuinely horrified to find out the other has never made it through a certain epic fantasy trilogy… and honestly, the friendship may never recover.
