What is it about the horror genre that makes it so successful at the box office? Sam chats with James Wan, creator of the Saw and The Conjuring universes — and most recently a producer on M3GAN — about the enduring appeal of getting scared in a roomful of strangers, the secret sauce of M3GAN, and who would win in a three-way fight: M3GAN, Chucky, or the doll from Poltergeist? We also ask writer and Keep It co-host Ira Madison III if he is into Madonna going on world tour. And we hear about the culture that's haunting us: Why does Carmelo Soprano call cold pasta "cold pahst"? Send us your culturegeist.

Ira Madison III may be too spicy for Twitter's censors, but he's perfect for The Juice! The writer and podcaster (Keep It!) tells Solomon about the secrets that he heard on Jesuit high school retreats while growing up in Milwaukee.

APRIL FOOLS!!!Keep It! host Ira Madison III returns to Pop Pantheon for a very special (and silly) episode on the glacially unfurling career of former Fifth Harmony member and aspiring pop starlet, Normani. Louie and Ira talk about why people fell in love with Normani as the clearest talent in 5H before debating the conditions that have allowed Normani to release only seven songs in the last five years before diving into her multiple attempts at getting her solo career off the ground. They begin with her two hit Spotify-core duets, 2018's "Love Lies" and 2019's "Dancing with a Stranger" with Khalid and Sam Smith respectively, before moving through her erstwhile Calvin Harris collabs, her apparent lift-off with 2019's banger Beyonce-referencing "Motivation" and its' break-the-internet music video showcasing her formidable dancing talents followed by her perplexing disappearance from music for two years, and finally her two recent underperforming "comeback" singles, the Aaliyah-sampling slinky R&B groover "Wild Side" and her latest non-event, "Fair". Finally, Louie and Ira place Normani in the official Pop Pantheon (SPOILER ALERT: she's Tier 5....).

If you want to do The Holidays with Fran & Rose, you need three things: a hot butterbeer from the The Three Broomsticks at Universal Studios, Kelly Clarkson's When Christmas Comes Around…, and the 2006 romcom Last Holiday, wherein Queen Latifah invents self care. This episode has all three and more. Ira Madison III is on the show to help explain why a movie with a plot that hinges on the results of a CT scan taken at a department store is a holiday season must-watch. Tangents include: working and quitting retail, Kohl's Cash, Fran's stint as a missionary in the Czech Republic, and what the fuck happened to Ira's 401K.Plus, the latest in kinda-queer-but-mostly-heterosexual television: Fran & Rose's highly anticipated thoughts on And Just Like That and 12 Dates of Christmas. And an ode to iconic homoerotic vampire writer Ann Rice. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
