The Exact Age A "Hot Mess" Is No Longer Cute

Is it time we retired the 'loveable disaster' trope? With Bridget Jones returning to our screens — still chaotic as ever — we're asking why society gets uncomfortable when women don't grow out of their Hot Mess Era. When does burning the spag bol stop being endearing and start being... annoying?

Plus:

📚 Your next great read: Mia and Jessie share the books you'll want to add to your bedside table.
📺 Holly's comfort TV recco for when you need to switch off.

And in Best & Worst: Red carpet drama, epic tantrums, and a heated debate about Bunnings' sausage sizzle etiquette. 🌭

    And, revenge is so hot right now. It’s dancing on the stage at the Superbowl and it’s dripping from Taylor’s thigh… Welcome to the gloves-off era.

        SUNDAY SPECIAL: No Filter —Mia Freedman & Kate Langbroek
        FEB 8, 2025
        SUNDAY SPECIAL: No Filter —Mia Freedman & Kate Langbroek

        OutLouders, last week Mia shared the news that after 10 incredible years, she's passing the No Filter baton to Kate Langbroek. Today, we're flipping the script - Mia's in the guest seat, and Kate's asking the questions.

        When these two powerhouses tried to record this conversation last year, the timing wasn't right. Now, they're diving deep into why — a raw discussion about burnout, grief, and what happens when you finally listen to yourself.

        This isn't just a story about endings. It's about courage, new beginnings, and the unexpected paths that lead us there. Plus, Kate shares her vision for No Filter's next chapter.

        Consider this your all-access pass to a conversation between two broadcasting legends.

        THE END BITS:

        "Mummy, I Can See Her Bum"
        FEB 7, 2025
        "Mummy, I Can See Her Bum"

        "Sorry, can't come. I've got too much work on." We're diving deep into the glorification of hustle culture, examining what a 'balanced' life actually looks like in 2025, and exploring why some of us genuinely love living for the work (no judgement, just questions).

        🍿 Your weekend sorted: We've got the new Aussie show everyone's talking about, the American comedy that's giving us joy, and the Oscar contender that's worth every minute of its runtime. Trust us.

        ✨ And in Best & Worst: Mia has some thoughts about her boobs (spoiler: it's a journey), an icon's empire crumbles, and a TV cancellation has us questioning everything.
