• 142. Aaliyah Part 3: Iconic

  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.

• 141. Aaliyah Part 2: One In A Million

  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.

• 140. Aaliyah Part 1

  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.

• 139. The Perils & Pleasures of Planet Hollywood

  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.
