TikTok news and The White Lotus finale

In the week that Afghanistan fell to the Taliban we’re processing the stories and images being beamed out of the country and how we get our news. In particular, a TikTok explainer made by Guardian Australia Matilda Boseley has gone viral — why are so many people talking about it?

All My Friends Are Racist is a new ABC comedy series about zoomers, friendship, politics and cancel culture. BW + BL talk to series co-stars Davey Thompson and Tuuli Narkle who play on screen besties Casey and Belle.

HBO’s The White Lotus finale dropped quite a load on us: showing us who dies, who wins and who loses during one hectic week at the luxury Hawaiian resort. SPOILER ALERT: BL + BW discuss the finale in detail.

And finally, the Jeanaissance has arrived: we love Jean Smart in Hacks and so should you.
