The Accidental Hiatus Explained- Plus Justin Baldoni V Blake Lively & MAFS!
WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAACK! And it seems we have some explaining to do...We know we kind of fell off the face of the earth at the end of last year, but hear us out okay? We had good reason! Or at least that's what we're telling ourselves.We then get straight back on our bullshit, playing a good old fashion game of "Who's the Arsehole?" in the Justin Baldoni/Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds saga. Is Ryan Reynolds a manic control freak? Will the case make it to court? Or will Justin Baldoni accept a healthy cheque and never speak of the matter again? Only time will tell...Discussion turns to the devastating Los Angeles fires and the disturbing #EatTheRich mentality existing online, or perhaps not-so-rich when it comes to Spencer & Heidi Pratt.We then discuss the Jerry Springer doco on Netflix, which explores the ethics (or lackthereof) involved in producing the landmark 90's talk show. We ask the big question: "Can you have a successful TV show that is both wholesome AND outrageous?" Alex also reveals some MAFS BTS juice on how a change in production and staff lead to a shift in tone (and overall success) of the show.At this point, we're both a glass of Rose deep, but we vow to pause recording, watch the MAFS premiere & come back to debrief.Listen to our unfiltered and slightly delirious take on the new batch of contestants who are clearly all there for the RIGHT REASONS and not to become influencers.Follow us on socials @thatsshowbizbaby.pod Hosted on Acast.

"I won't be treated like a second class citizen!"
We recount our oh-so-glamorous experience at the Chemist Warehouse brand showcase, where we were treated like second class citezens in favour of influencers and reality TV contestants. Because who doesn't love feeling like a nobody next to someone who gets paid to post selfies? Alex was irate but Jordy resigned herself to this reality of showbiz long ago...Tom Gleeson responded to our snarky video exposing him as a liar, but Jordy still isn't convinced he'll come on the pod.We discuss the Oasis reunion, an infamous spat between 2 Neighbours cast members & question whether we'll ever know the truth about Harry & Meghan. Jordy has been watching Netflix doco Popstar Academy, and recounts the time she was almost in a movie musical about a girlband titled, "The Chickabees". Spoiler alert: the movie never received funding, so naturally we're starting a campaign to get it off the ground!Rate, review, subscribe & stay up to date on socials @thatsshowbizbaby.pod !!!
