Ben and Mikey kick off this week’s jam-packed episode by celebrating the warm response to the show’s launch — including an endorsement (of sorts) from JADE herself. With music, film, and TV all delivering big headlines, the duo round up the week’s most buzzworthy releases and announcements.

Highlights include: Ariana selling out The O2 in just 15 minutes with The Eternal Sunshine Tour; rising fan expectations (and prices) around tickets; Taylor Swift’s return to the big screen with The Official Release Party of a Showgirl; the questionably titled Something Beautiful (Deluxe); the comeback of The Morning Show with overdogs Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon; one-take wonder Adolescence sweeping the Emmys; the upcoming — and correctly titled — The Celebrity Traitors; and the debut of a brand-new segment: Man of the Week.
