The Real Pod assembles to dissect the week in New Zealand pop culture and real life, with special thanks to Nando’s.

The dream team is back together to cover all the breaking news topics you need to know this week. Which Aladdin star was spotted at Laneway? Which of our favourite celebrities made cameos in Jane Yee’s 40th birthday video? And what the hell have Cadbury done to their bloody marshmallow eggs?

Beyond that, we recap an intense week on both The Bachelor US and The Casketeers, do some furniture shopping with Pordy and break down the Sue Nicholson stoush of the decade. Oh, and we are so excited for Married at First Sight Australia that we can hardly breathe. Tune in next week for the full rundown of four nights of mayhem.
