We're kicking off our brand-new Beyoncé in the Movies Mini-Series with a groovy start: Austin Powers in Goldmember! Phil and Emily are joined by writer, comedian, and Beyoncé superfan Akilah Hughes to break down Queen Bey's feature film debut as the iconic Foxxy Cleopatra.From Mike Myers' chaotic brand of early-2000s comedy to Beyoncé's effortless star power, we dive into how Goldmember captured a cultural moment—and how Beyoncé completely stole the show. We also unpack the movie's outrageous gags, surprisingly stacked cast, and whether the Austin Powers franchise still holds up today (spoiler: it's complicated).Is Goldmember the ultimate time capsule of early-2000s pop culture? And how did it hint at Beyoncé's massive future in film and music?

The House passed a GOP budget framework, Elon Musk attended the first White House Cabinet meeting, and Alyssa Mastromonaco and guest host Akilah Hughes have a LOT of opinions. They also discuss the trickle-down effect of Trump's executive orders on a state level, the Republican obsession with transgender athletes in the NCAA, and the modern resistance at town halls across the country. Luckily, Jane Fonda's SAG Awards speech and a heartwarming story about The Metropolitan Museum of Art are keeping them sane.The Singular Charm of Parker Posey (NYT 2/24)Musk to join Trump's first White House Cabinet meeting (The Hill 2/25)Texas wants the NCAA to start ‘sex-screening' its student athletes (The 19th 2/21)Missouri Bill Would Create Registry of Pregnant Women "At Risk" of Having An Abortion (Abortion, Everyday 2/18)GOP lawmakers seek to remove rape, incest exemption from West Virginia's near total abortion ban (West Virginia Watch 2/21)At Testy Town Halls, Republicans Take Heat for Trump's Bold Moves (WSJ 2/21)What to Know About Janet Mills, the Maine Governor Who Told Trump, ‘See You in Court' (NYT 2/22)He's a Security Guard at the Met.

It was the nip slip seen round the world. Whether by accident or on purpose, the nation caught a brief glimpse of Janet Jackson's breast on live television during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show while she was performing with Justin Timberlake.

It led to a flood of complaints to the FCC, significant fines for broadcasters, and a lasting impact on cultural norms and entertainment industry practices in the United States.Akilah Hughes (Rebel Spirit, Akilah Obviously) and Dylan Adler (Comedy Central) join Misha to expose the truth behind Nipplegate!Follow The Big Flop on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.
