Why do Aussies still love MAFs? And "woke" Snow White flops - feat. Shanna Whan.
Our special guest is Shanna Whan AM, the founder of Sober in the Country, dog-lover and hilarious country gal.1. AI "Fat" Filter is trending on Tik Tok. Is it just silly... or dangerous?It can seem innocent enough.. we've all played around with filters, that make our face look weird or look like a unicorn ...and had a laugh. But there's a trend on Tik Tok, where people...mainly young people... are using an AI filter that makes them look fat and then posting pictures of themselves, often laughing at the results. Is this silly fun, or something more harmful?2. Mirror, mirror on the wall, will Snow White cause Disney’s fall?”Disney's live-action re-make of Snow White has finally been released into cinemas... with lacklustre sales... and brutal reviews. There have been multiple issues plaguing the re-make, including a blown-out budget. But the main problem seemed to be in the awkwardness of trying to update a film made in 1937.3. MAFS has topped TV ratings again...but why?Three million Aussies tuned into Channel Nine the other day to watch the MAFS commitment ceremony. And can you believe the show has now been going for 10 years? It's a bit trashy... and there are certainly better ways to find love... so why do Australians love MAFS?About the guest:Shanna Whan (AM) is the rural woman, founder, CEO, and face behind Sober in the Country.
