I don't know about you but after last week's topics I really needed some fun and joyful content so this week for Mood for News we are covering only POSITIVE popculture news stories from the last couple of weeks. We start with the latest deets from Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's wedding festivities in Palermo, Sicily. Then we talk about New Zealander Tim Payne being classed the 'main character' for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I fangirl about Hudson William's iconic acceptance speech at the Canadian Screen Awards. Noah Cyrus and Frankie Jonas got the cutest matching Ponyo tattoos ever and I reveal why I haven't really watched Studio Ghibli so far and lastly Mattell is releasing full length Barbie movies on YouTube, this is not a drill!!
Tell me what childhood film traumatised you and most importantly - let me know what you think!
Support the show on Ko-fi all funds go towards upgrading my podcast gear!
Also, for those interested the tea I mention is Twinings New York Breakfast - Caramel flavoured black tea.
