I stumbled across this show thanks to a work colleague and it's been the highlight of my 2022 so far.
The concept is solid; A variety show that mixes pop culture with current entertainment news and movie trivia while introducing audiences to members of the Australian entertainment industry. And it's not just actors or directors. Past guests have been entertainers from all walks of life, promoting a sense of unity and community among the members of the show.
The show is hosted by Richard Lovegrove, an actor/entertainer. Richard has been the host since the first episode and has done a cracking job at enticing viewers to tune in.
Recent episodes have introduced a second host into the mix in the form of Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons, an actress/author and season 1 reigning champion.
These two together have an undeniable chemistry that make for great viewing. Their witty and flirtatious banter is a huge highlight of the show and aids in making the guests feel welcome. Rhiannon is a walking encyclopedia of movie knowledge and she manages to find ways each week to floor us with her incredible trivia. Richard's charm is always on full display, making both the audience watching at home and the guests who appear on the show feeling incredibly comfortable, proving he is leading man material. They are the perfect duo. Their smiles and laughter is infectious. If you're in a bad mood when you begin watching the show, you won't be in one for long.
The show has the guests playing four rounds of random, fun games. Nothing is off limits as the games range from music-inspired guessing games through to straight movie trivia, where Rhiannon's terrifying knowledge is on full-display. I've played one final tournament and have been absolutely crushed by her. No wonder she's the QUIZarenaQUEEN (I hope I got that right).
There are special events linked to the show including two virtual escape rooms, a New Years Eve special in which Richard and Rhiannon teamed up to ring in 2022 together in a "Get-To-Know-Us" episode. There is even a couple of gaming specials for upcoming soon-to-be-released video games.
Moral of this long-winded review is the show is highly entertaining and I recommend you taking a chance and tuning into the next live stream. You won't be disappointed.
I look forward to seeing this show grow and following the careers of all who have been involved.
