Girls really do run the world, at least in the music industry. Many artists have to thank their success and journey to stardom to teenage girls: One Direction, Lana del Rey, Taylor Swift, BTS, and even The Beatles. These girls seem to know something about the next big hit, but fangirls are seen as a stigma, why is that anyways? Well, on this episode of Local Ambition that is exactly what we will be diving into: teenage girls and their service to the music industry.
Well, aren't we excited? This episode features the first-ever guest artist in Local Ambition: Annie Tonyo (@annie_tonyo on Instagram)!

We're back, Roomies! After a relaxing break we review two of the biggest movies to release over the break. Avatar 2: the Way of Water, which boldly asks the question "What if they just did Avatar again pretty much, but this time more space whales." We raise the good and bad on the sequel that has been over 10 years in the making. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish asks "Who's brave and ready for trouble? Who's so unbelievably humble! Who's the gato who rolls the dice? And gambles with his life?! Who's never been touched by a blade? Puss in Boots is never afraid! Who is your favorite fearless he-e-ro? Who is your favorite fearless he-e-ro?" We may have a favorite in this weeks episode...
'Tis the Season to watch a bunch of holiday specials! This year we have decided to look at the latest MCU project to come out in two weeks, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Does it capture the spirit of the festive times, or is the group of galactic goofballs too far out in space to touch our hearts? It looks like they may need the help of Kevin Bacon to save the day! Just don't tell Jackson... Happy Holidays from the Roomies
Time for some Star Wars! Now the roomies are never one to jinx them by saying any certain series may be better than they would like it to be, but maybe Andor has some merit... Okay you caught us, it's great! Why does a series that follows a character from a one off Star Wars film work so well? Sounds like you may need to listen to this episode to find out why!

With all the amazing tv shows and films we've been able to see this year, there's so much to be thankful for! This episode's focus is no exception! Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had to deal with the loss of the incredible actor and person Chadwick Boseman which begged the question how this film would even be made? After seeing the film, we can confidently say that the movie that was made was one of heart, passion, respect, and grace. Not only is this the best Marvel movie of the year, it is an incredible love letter to everything and everyone impacted by Boseman. Wakanda Forever!
