Bana and Bridgerton

We burn for Bridgerton: The Shonda Rhimes-executive produced period romance is officially Netflix’s most-watched series, ever. Think Pride and Prejudice meets Gossip Girl, with lots of sex and Julie Andrews narrating. Our in-house romance novel expert Rudi Bremer (Awaye!, Little Yarns) knows all things Bridgerton and (spoiler alert), talks us through the series, including that controversial sex scene between Daphne and the Duke. Stop Everything also ushers in the first new show of 2021 with a bona fide Hollywood superstar: Eric Bana, on his film The Dry, and whether Full Frontal’s Poida still lives inside his brain Also - after the summer break - immortal pop culture bin chickens BW + BL arise from the ashes of 2020 to pick over the events of the last six weeks, and talk through all the stuff they watched during the break.
