Are critics missing the point of Holly Willoughby’s YouTube show? Is Elon Musk leading a new era of Hollywood ‘Wokebusters’? What are the allegations against Jared Leto?

Holly Willoughby’s new YouTube show has provoked scathing reviews and comparisons to Meghan Markle. But are the critics right? And why are prime-time presenters swapping TV shows for YouTube channels? 

Oscar-winning Jared Leto has denied accusations of criminal sexual misconduct made by multiple women in a new BBC documentary. Richard and Marina discuss the documentary. 

Elon Musk is using his AI model, Grok, to make a “historically accurate” version of The Odyssey, after the success of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster. Should we be worried about this new wave of Wokebusters?

The Rest is Entertainment is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain's most awarded energy supplier.
