The Delulu Diaries Podcast

Anora

Happy Monday, chickens! This week, we unpack the Remi Bader drama. We dissect her recent announcement on Khloe Kardashian's 'Khloe in Wonderland' podcast that she underwent SADI-S gastric bypass surgery in December 2023 after years of claiming natural weight loss and the subsequent internet backlash that’s erupted.
Moving onto the F1 drama of the week, we chat about Liam Lawson's challenging start and the subsequent decision to replace him with Yuki Tsunoda for the 2025 season. 
As Southern Charm wraps up season 10, we talk about part one of the reunion and Craig Conover announcing he is dating someone new following his recent split from Giggly Squad’s Paige Desorbo.
Finally, we review two new movies this week: the critically acclaimed film, Anora, directed by Sean Baker, and starring Mikey Madison and Mark Eydelshteyn and the divisive thriller Locked, starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins. 
We wrap up this week’s episode with our April book club pick announcement!

Adolescence

We’re rested and re-energised baby! Obviously, we give you a full recap of our trip to Melbourne for the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, including an unplanned footy game at the MCG. 
Speaking of footy, with the AFL season now well underway we chat about the past two weeks of jaw dropping, absolute landslides by our favourite teams. Be prepared folks, it looks like we might be needing to book annual leave for September! We also share our initial boyfriend league draft picks and those who didn’t make the 2025 cut.
In the spirit of Formula 1, we chat about season 7 of Netflix’s Drive to Survive before diving into Hugh Grant’s latest film Heretic and a more melancholy yet incredibly important watch, Adolescence — the new four part Netflix series that has the entire world talking, and for good reason.
Don’t forget to join our book club on Fable as we read our March pick, The Spirit Collection of Thorne Hall by J Ann Thomas.

The Fox Hollow Murders

So sorry for the late episode this week folks, we were busy jetskiing and watching footy at the pub. 
This week’s shambles of an episode starts with the girly pops guide to the Australian Grand Prix (F1), before jumping into a recap of the Oscars earlier in the week. 
We both watched yet another true crime documentary, this time looking into one of the most insane and under-the-radar serial killer crimes of the 80s and 90s: The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer. The four-part series follows Jeff Jellison as he launches a new investigation decades after thousands of bones were found in the woods behind Fox Hollow Farms. Using new DNA technology, they work to identify the human remains, bringing closure to victims' families.
Turning to Reality TV, we discuss this week’s episodes of Bravo’s Summer House and Southern Charm as both explore the depths of friendship. We then talk about Mike White’s inspiration from Southern Charm for White Lotus Season 3.

Devil in the Family: the Fall of Ruby Franke

This week, we’re diving into some hot topics, starting with the outrageously sexist remarks made by Triple M’s Marty Sheargold during prime time radio. We discuss his shocking comments about the Matildas and his claims that endometriosis is a fabricated issue.
In the true crime realm, Caitlin shares her thoughts on the gripping documentary series, Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke. This three-part investigation reveals the harrowing story of Ruby Franke, a former YouTube vlogger and mother of six, who was arrested for child abuse in August 2023 and sentenced to prison in February 2024 after pleading guilty to aggravated abuse against her children.
On a lighter note, we discuss Mindy Kaling’s brand-new comedy series on Netflix, Running Point. This entertaining 10-episode series stars Kate Hudson as a reformed party girl who unexpectedly takes charge of her family's pro basketball team and must prove her mettle as a businesswoman.
For book lovers, Danika reviews her two latest reads: The Reformatory by Tananarive Due and The Widow’s Husband’s Secret by Frieda McFadden. Plus, we’re excited to announce our March book club pick: The Spirit Collection of Thorne Hall by J. Ann Thomas.

American Murder: Gabby Petito

Netflix’s highly anticipated true crime documentary American Murder: Gabby Petito was released last week, looking at the infamous 2021 murder of Gabby Petito at the hands of her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. 
Despite Caitlin’s negative review of the first 6 episodes of Love is Blind season 8, she pushed through and watched the latest episodes, recounting the drama for us all, including the concerning number of toxic men who are simply looking for fame who were cast.
We finish this week’s episode with our weekly recap of Married at First Sight Australia.

Love is Blind: Season 8

First up, we dive headfirst into LIV Golf 2025 and our official realisation that we’re done with lining up for things. 
In the world of Australian TikTok drama, we dissect the Jordan Tan vs. Jack McIntosh drama, unpacking the cringeworthy encounter and the important conversations it sparked about consent, boundaries, and male ego. We also call out Kayla Itsines for her hypocritical rant about "hyper-sexualised" fitness content, given her own history of profiting off women's body insecurities. 
We’re drowning in reality TV lately. This week, we share our lukewarm takes on the latest season of Love is Blind. With the biggest cast ever, this Minneapolis season is surprisingly boring and forgettable. We're also back in the Hamptons with Summer House, discussing Paige and Craig's breakup, the cheating rumors, and Lexi and Jesse's hilarious dynamic. And of course, we can't forget MAFS. We break down all the couples, from Carina & Paul to Jacqui and Ryan and their "crazy eyes" drama. Plus, we discuss the brewing cheating scandal with Sierah and Adrian, and Morena's explosive appearance on Abbie Chatfield's podcast, where she spilled some serious tea (and maybe broke contract?).
Finally, we wrap things up with Danika’s latest read: The Wrong Daughter by Dandy Smith. This popcorn thriller about a kidnapping, family secrets, and unexpected twists is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, or Sally Hepworth.

Apple Cider Vinegar

It was the Grammys for the girls last week, with huge performances and wins by Docheii, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, plus Beyonce FINALLY went home with her first ever Album of the Year award.
Netflix’s latest series, Apple Cider Vinegar, was released over the weekend too and Caitlin shares her initial thoughts on the dramatised look at the life of wellness guru Belle Gibson, who had a large social media following, where she pretended to be suffering from cancer but keeping the disease under control using self-care therapies. She confessed that none of it was true.
We recap a week of MAFS, with the couples entering challenge week. As always, the men proved to be weasels while the women were starting to realise they are too good for their ‘husbands’. 
We wrap this week’s episode with Caitlin’s review of The Reunion by Bronwyn Rivers: Ten years ago, six teenagers hiked into the Blue Mountains wilderness - and only five came out alive. The survivors have barely seen each other since the tragic bushwalk. Yet when an invitation arrives to attend a 10-year memorial of their friend's death, Hugh, Charlotte, Alex, Laura and Jack find themselves travelling back into the rugged landscape where it all began. The weekend at an isolated homestead in the bush - no phone signal, no distractions - should be a chance to reflect and reconnect. But each of the friends has been carrying secrets from the fateful hike. And someone will stop at nothing to get the truth.

MAFS Season 12

This week's episode is packed with drama! First, we spill the tea on a huge influencer feud: Australian influencer Mikaela Testa's explosive 9-minute video exposing fellow influencer Anna Paul for alleged manipulation and exploitation of her young followers to boost OnlyFans subscriptions. We then dive headfirst into the chaos of Married At First Sight (MAFS) Australia Season 12! From the weddings and walkouts to the tears and those wedding guests, we're breaking down everything from the first week with our highly opinionated recap. We discuss who we're already loving and who we're already hating.
After all that reality TV drama, we're switching gears to discuss the critically acclaimed film We Live In Time starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. Prepare for some unpopular opinions on this highly popular movie – you might be surprised by what we have to say!
Finally, we're sharing what's on our reading lists: The Wrong Daughter by Dandy Smith and The Reunion by Bronwyn Rivers.

BOOK CLUB: The Ledge by Christian White

WELCOME TO THE DELULU DIARIES BOOK CLUB!
Each month, we will be releasing a dedicated episode to our book club read for that month, and to kick things off, we're starting with The Ledge by Christian White.
When human remains are discovered in a forest, police are baffled, the locals are shocked and one group of old friends starts to panic. Their long-held secret is about to be uncovered.
It all began in 1999 when sixteen-year-old Aaron ran away from home, drawing his friends into an unforeseeable chain of events that no one escaped from unscathed.
In The Ledge, past and present run breathlessly parallel, leading to a climax that will change everything you thought you knew. This is a mind-bending new novel from the master of the unexpected.
