#290: Amy Poehler, Brat Pack, Jerrod Carmichael

Bang On

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.
