The Cringe is Real

Bloody G’day Cringe kiddies! The off season continues with a candid check-in with Fatima Sabdia to recap Hallmark’s latest atrocity, ‘A Melbourne Match’. This down under romcom is a hate crime against Narrm and its people so we just HAD to talk about it. Georgie, our girl, is a burnt out travel writer who needs to slow down on the coast and what better way to see Melbs than with an ex-footy plying tradie in a ute. The two tear this film apart and also check in on The Traitors and all the Beckham feud goss.
