Em revisits the 2000s take on Twelfth Night that basically got her through high school English, while Laura makes the case for a beloved Taming of the Shrew adaptation she’s watched at least 30 times. Then, in an extremely rare reversal of roles, Em gets to be the one who drops a piece of pop-culture knowledge that genuinely shocks Laura, as she discovers in real time that a critically panned movie starring two real-life sisters was actually an adaptation of Sense & Sensibility. And frankly, Laura and Em would like to remind the critics that a movie doesn’t have to be a masterpiece to be an extremely good time. Plus, Em tells a story about taking a bus that has almost nothing to do with any of this, but may be the most important contribution to the episode.

Verity is one of the biggest movies in the world right now, and as you’d expect from a blockbuster Colleen Hoover adaptation starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, there is a lot to talk about. Laura and Em are giving you their completely unfiltered review of the movie — from the performances they couldn’t look away from and the twists that genuinely shocked them, to the darker moments Laura found particularly confronting.

Having read the original novel, she takes Laura through some of the biggest differences between the book and the movie, including the scenes and storylines she was stunned to see disappear, the changes that completely surprised her and whether Hollywood’s version of Verity actually improves on Colleen Hoover’s original story.

Need something to watch this weekend? Laura and Mon have two very different recommendations — one that will make you question everything your algorithm is feeding you, and another that may permanently change how you feel about dark bodies of water. First, Aaron Sorkin is returning to the world of The Social Network with The Social Reckoning, starring Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and an intensely committed Jeremy Strong. Based on the true story of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, it’s a smart, unsettling look at what was happening inside the company as its algorithms began pushing users towards increasingly extreme content. Then, Josh Hartnett is back in Below, a wildly atmospheric new Netflix series about a remote island community being terrorised by something enormous lurking beneath the water. There’s family drama, a surprisingly educational amount of ice harvesting and a genuinely horrifying sea monster — which, naturally, means Laura absolutely loved it.

We lit the candles, poured the wine and went in with an open heart, but one of us came out wanting her time back. This is our brutally honest (and genuinely divided) verdict on the rom com everyone's talking about. We dig into the chemistry problem between two actors who sparkle with everyone else, and the shakiest fake dating excuse we've ever heard, where a dog, a house or one single friend would have solved everything. We break down where the slow burn went, from a sunscreen scene that should have sizzled to a red dress moment that deserved a staircase, plus the one word in the sex scene we cannot stop talking about. It's nostalgic, it's frustrating, it's a masterclass in marketing. The Love Hypothesis is streaming now on Prime Video, and with the sequel on the way, we'll be back to see if anyone took our notes.

Taylor Swift dropped four surprise songs on Friday and the internet hasn't stopped spiralling since. We're decoding the shared-ex theory that has everyone pointing at Joe Jonas, the unexpected apology to Tom Hiddleston nine years later, and the one lyric she refuses to actually say out loud.

The Family Stone is officially getting a sequel, with the beloved Christmas family returning to our screens later this year. So naturally, it got us thinking about the movies that perfectly capture what happens when you put one complicated family under the same roof. For this week’s Friday Round-Up, Laura and Em are sharing their favourite movies about messy, chaotic and deeply complicated families. There’s a Disney classic so good we had to include its sequel, the little indie movie that became an Oscar-winning sleeper hit, and a Nancy Meyers favourite that Em had somehow never seen. Plus, we get into what we know about The Family Stone sequel and whether it can possibly recreate the magic of the original.

Greta Gerwig's Narnia first look has landed, and one casting choice has fans spiralling.

The internet has finally handed us something good: Channing Tatum stands accused of running a fake burner account, allegedly caught leaving snarky comments about his exes, glowing reviews of himself and suspiciously sweet notes about his new girlfriend. We're unpacking how one lonely follower blew the whole thing wide open. Then we're deep in royal chaos.

Twenty-eight years later, the Owens women are back and we're emotional wrecks about it. As fans, we came ready to feel everything, and Practical Magic 2 delivered. We get into the two deaths that destroyed us (one goodbye literally turns to glitter), the critics-versus-fans split repeating itself all over again, and the curse logic that we need to unpack. It's messier, lighter and more sentimental than the original, and we still cried buckets. Whether you think it earns its place or dilutes a perfect film, you'll want to argue about it. Practical Magic 2 is in cinemas now. Listen to Laura's interview with Nicole Kidman about Practical Magic 2 here.

The fourth instalment of Netflix's blood-soaked true crime anthology just dropped, and it's the first to put a woman at its centre. Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's daughter takes the lead, with Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, Billie Lourd and Sarah Paulson rounding out a very starry ensemble. We give an honest take on whether this gruesome, glamorised retelling lands. On the big screen, a video-game horror reboot - but you absolutely don't need to know the game to enjoy it. Starring the breakout from 'Weapons', it's genuinely terrifying (all practical effects) but so funny you'll be cackling between screams. The rare scary movie even the horror-averse can survive. Plus a quick PSA for Outlander fans: season two of the sexy prequel lands on Stan this Saturday, and you can jump straight in even if you've never watched the original.
