About this episode

On the show today…

In two interesting hits of TV news, Netflix has confirmed they have renewed the notorious series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story for two more seasons, while Channel Seven has revealed the premiere date for Kath & Kim: Our Effluent Life. Here’s everything you need to know.

Plus, Rebel Wilson has shared the beautiful news that she is now the proud mother of a little girl. But before she shared the news, another story about her personal life was doing the news story rounds.

And there’s one entertainment story captivating Australia this week, and it has to do with the 2022 season of The Block coming to a very controversial end. From allegations of cheating to a nasty case of racism against two pairs of contestants, we’re joined by a Block expert to break down exactly what happened.
