The internet has become obsessed with Wicker, the peculiar new film starring Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage. We finally watched the trailer together, unpack why everyone's thirsting over a wicker man, and reveal the weird fictional characters we can't stop crushing on.

Then, Ariana Grande's new album petal has arrived, and we're diving into our favourite tracks, the themes that run through the record, and the emotional announcement she made alongside its release. We also unpack the growing scrutiny surrounding her public life and why she's choosing to step back from the spotlight.

Listen to Laura Brodnik and Tina Provis on The Spill talking about Ariana Grande here.
