It is probably algorithms but I am seeing a lot of anti-Disclosure Day posts. I am seeing it Gold Class 🥂 Monday so will let you know what I think.

Rohan Lund told the Financial Review in May that he wanted Southern Cross to be a “trusted brand” (like Aldi and Bunnings). Not sure staff would be feeling the trust right now.
Tears are flowing at Channel 7 after a purge of the station’s on-air female talent — including two journalists who were on maternity leave when they got the tap. > bit.ly/43uMcUs

The Christophers is a very enjoyable two-hander starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel (with James Corden and Jessica Gunning in small supporting roles). From Steven Soderbergh. In Aussie cinemas now.

Obsession has fired up in Australia as well as the US. Current Aussie box office is $12,770,111. Surged 91% in second weekend and a further 68% in third weekend as word-of-mouth kicked in. Screen count upped from 155 to 233 nationally.

Probably the two worst words you can see on X are “for you” because an algorithm will send you a hundred variations on a post you liked (thinking that is the only topic/subject that could possibly interest you). Nah.

If anyone needed more evidence of the rise of YouTube/Internet creators after the success of Backrooms and Obsession then the fact that The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act (based on Aussie independent web toon series) topped the US box office Thursday is it.

Those contestants on The Block would be getting smacked today. Not great weather on the Mornington Peninsula and they are exposed to the bay. 🌧️💨⛄️❄️

This is why I worry about The Odyssey - Christopher Nolan has said that his favourite film of 2024 was Gladiator 2. Say what? That movie was rubbish. When I see The Odyssey trailers I think Nolan might be using G2 as a template. Yikes!

Huge drop last night from Home and Away (average 1 million viewers nationally) to SAS: Aus V England (390,000). Yikes!

There are so many AFL footy analysis programs on Aussie TV these days. It feels like overkill.

Will be interesting to see if Channel 10’s strategy of having so many international versions of The Traitors on its streaming service - Ireland just added - helps give the rebooted Aussie series with Gretel Killeen a ratings boost. Can’t hurt I suppose.

I’m baffled. Brenton Thwaites’ and Phoebe Tonkin’s new romantic Aussie drama is centred on the their characters having eight dates (with one date per episode) to see if they match. Eight Dates would be the logical title but Paramount has given it the generic Two Years Later. 🤔

I’ve watched countless Taskmaster Australia promos and haven’t laughed once. Is the show any good?

The Bold and the Beautiful has been introducing a lot of younger actors lately (presumably to attract younger audience) and I have to say that most of them are pretty bad.
