I was asked by a Gen Z listener what it was like to grow up with Britney and experience her magical reign over the pop music world and well... I was all too happy to revisit that!

This week's installment of my Aaliyah series is so much fun because we get to discuss a bunch of projects that in my opinion really cemented Aaliyah's position in pop culture forevermore and made her, well, iconic. In between her 2nd & 3rd albums, she didn't rest for a second, continuing to make groundbreaking and innovative moves. From Tommy Hilfiger to the Oscars, a baby's laugh to the Grammys... babygirl's world was expanding constantly and for a short time, we were lucky enough to witness it.There's an ad-free extended version of this episode on Patreon, along with 150+ posts of bonus audio & video content.

Now this is where things get good!!! Aaliyah's second album, One In A Million, changed music forever when she took a risk on a new writing/producing team, Missy Elliot & Timbaland. Aaliyah swiftly went from an artist that many people counted out to one of the most experimental and important players in not just the r&b scene, but the entire music industry. After being almost cast out of the business due to her illegal marriage to some loser, Aaliyah proved that not only was she here to stay, but that she could stand on her own two feet without a mentor telling her what to do every step of the way. This album is widely regarded as one of the best and most groundbreaking of the decade, so let's break it down and celebrate the innovative magic of Aaliyah's One In A Million.There's an ad-free extended version of this episode on Patreon, along with 150+ posts of bonus audio & video content.

And here it is... my new series is on the gone too soon princess of r&b, Aaliyah! In Part 1, we discuss first and foremost why Aaliyah was so special and is so important to pop culture. Then, I get into her journey from losing Star Search to becoming idolized by girls all around the world which sadly includes a horrifying marriage to the repulsive R.Kelly. All of this while she is still in high school and promoting her first album Age Ain't Nothing But A Number. How did she survive this on her insane promotion and touring schedule on top of maintaining a 3.9 average? I'm simply in awe so join me as we dive into the remarkable life of Aaliyah.
Join me down a sparkling rabbit hole of classic tinseltown ambition, brilliance, greed, and foolishness as we look back at the bizarre history of Planet Hollywood. In 1991, a connected film producer, zany British restauranteur, and 4 of Hollywood's A-List (Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger) opened a "museum inside a fun house" that also sold food. I would end up meeting the Spice Girls at this palm tree-laden establishment, so to them I am thankful, but this project imploded just as quickly as it exploded and you need to hear the details because they are WILD! Let me know what other random pop culture phenomenons you would be interested in hearing about cause I am down to cover them.

From 1988-1994, Macaulay was one of the hardest working and highest paid actors in Hollywood. Raking in money and breaking records that compared to his 40-year-old contemporaries made Mack and his father Kit two of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry. Mack didn't care much about this; he wanted to play his game boy and make friends his own age. Kit, on the other hand, used that leverage to make demands, threaten industry professionals, and ensure his idea of what was best for his child's career was the only option. In today's episode we go through the rest of Mack's roles from childhood: Jacob's Ladder, My Girl, The Good Son, The Nutcracker, Getting Even With Dad, The Pagemaster, and Richie Rich. I also cover Macaulay's night hosting Saturday Night Live (which is the stuff of legend), why he was kicked off of the 1994 Oscars, and his soft retirement from the industry at age 14.

Today we are continuing the remarkable life story of Macaulay Culkin by chronicling one of the most unique friendships in all of showbiz. In 1991, Michael Jackson noticed a kid crossing the threshold of "there's no turning back from here" levels of fame and decided to do something about it. This made sense considering the deluge of similarities between 10 year old Macaulay and the 10 year old that Michael used to be... and possibly still was. There are things about this friendship that I love. There are other things that make me nervous. Of course, this is a remarkably sensitive topic and I hope I approached it in the best way I could.

Jonathan rose to fast fame with iconic roles in TV's Home Improvement and Disney's The Lion King, but is probably best known for gracing the pages of every teen magazine in the world. Though he made millions and achieved a level of fame most could only dream of, he left it all behind before he was even of legal drinking age. So, what happened?

In January 2004, Britney Spears married Jason Alexander on an early winter morning in Las Vegas. Not the actor from Seinfeld, but a friend she had grown up with in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana. By all accounts, substances were involved, but do the reasons for this wedding reach beyond a drunken mistake? I'd say so. Of course, we all remember that this marriage was annulled after 55 hours. Jason never saw Britney again, but he certainly tried to, most notably when he crashed her recent wedding to now-ex Sam Asghari. In this episode, I explore the reasons I think Britney married Jason and discuss Jason's motivations for his various actions over the years: some bizarre, and some that actually made perfect sense.

When I was recording my Lindsay Lohan series, I wanted to keep it to Lindsay herselfand not get so far into family stuff, which is why I cut a segment on Living Lohan. This was the infamous 2008 E! reality series starring her mother and manager Dina, sister Ali (who is 14 and obviously recording an album), grandma Ann, and brothers Cody and Michael Jr. I am so pleased to welcome back a returning guest, Torry of the wonderful pop culture podcast Ready to Be Petty. We highlight the insanity that is this show while also remaining sympathetic to these ever-lovable Lohans. PATREON Subscribers heard an extended version of this episode early and completely ad-free!

Today, I am joined by the brilliant Ana of This Must Be Pop, one of my favorite podcasts. There was no one else I would even consider having on to break down a good portion of the songs that JC wrote and/or produced during the Kate era (2004-2008). While we are not 100% sure what would have made the final cut of the album, we did not feel this series would be complete without discussing some of JC's best songs. In fact, even he called the music he worked on during these years his best work up til that point! We can't wait to share our thoughts on what would have been a fantastic album with all of you and are dying to hear your thoughts on it as well!

Today we have a POP EMERGENCY episode going straight to the public feed. My friend Bethany, who you may know from her ever-growing TikTok account and *NFLUENCE, was invited to Justin's One Night Only homecoming show in Memphis, TN! She joins me today to talk about what she calls one of the best nights of her life. However, we get into so much more than just the concert including her unexpected rise on TikTok, getting noticed by the guys, the sources for all our *nsync tea, controversy in the fandom and in JT's career, and how important it is to advocate for yourself & band together with your girlfriends rather than compete.

In 2004, JC Chasez was undeterred by the disappointing sales of his first solo album, Schizophrenic. Instead, he was doing something he does quite well: looking into the future. JC conceptualized a brilliant multimedia production entitled The Story of Kate that he hoped to bring not just to fans' ears, but to stages, TV networks, and beyond. While working with Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Harry, Dallas Austin, Timbaland, and more; JC coined the term "intelligent pop music" as he aspired to go beyond some of the shallow concepts that were topping the charts at the time without sacrificing any of the energy that went along with such music. So what happened? Why aren't we all spinning our Story of Kate vinyls right now? In this two part series-within-a-series, I will explore just that - as always, in depth.

In 2004, after taking off from *NSYNC megastardom and spending over a year writing, JC released his one and only solo album: Schizophrenic. Ignore the name, let's focus on the content: a gripping, honest, diverse mixture of whatever musical style JC wanted to try that day, in the studio with his buddies. Rather than take advice from his label, Jive Records, JC went in his own direction. This resulted in one of the unique and, in my opinion, one of the best albums of the time. Not everyone seemed to think so, though, the album received mixed reviews and did not perform well on the charts. It could have done a lot better, though, if not for an unfortunate combination of events that I'm here to break down for you. This is actually just part 1 of the story of this album -- next week, I will welcome Christine from Chasez Daily to deep dive into each individual track off Schizophrenic, so stay tuned!

After conquering the world of pop music, earning millions upon millions of dollars and fans, breaking records, and working non-stop for 7 years... of course, *NSYNC needed to take a much deserved 6-month break. When Justin's foray into solo superstardom became bigger than anyone expected, the hiatus got longer... and longer... and longer. While this is a JC-focused series, I noticed a lot of fans requesting that I go in-depth into this infamous hiatus, which lasted from 2002 until 2023 (if we're judging by new single releases). I am here to deliver! Many things have been said over the years, but what really happened? I've consumed hundreds of articles and interviews, asked fans their opinions, and tried to scrape up some behind the scenes info to form my opinion on what really happened and how everyone felt about it at the time and today. What do you think? Let me know, I would love to hear your opinions! PATREON Subscribers get bonus episodes, videos, commentaries AND get all public episodes a week early, ad-free, and extended.
