Show notes

Today we are doing a quick recap of The Woman in Me. Michelle Williams is a genius and as tragic and heartbreaking as this book is, I can't wait to listen to it all over again. Enjoy ;)

Shia LaBeouf & Marilyn Manson: Born Villain Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

I couldn't think of anything scarier for Halloween than these two monsters! MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS EPISODE. Today I am taking a look at the only project Shia and Marilyn ever did together Born Villian, but that's not the only thing they have in common. Born Villain is a surrealist horror short film directed by actor Shia LaBeouf in collaboration with singer Marilyn Manson. The film features a series of DISTURBING vignettes. I also discuss the current accusations against both singers and their connection to Johnny Depp. Enjoy ;)

90' Con Tampa Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

I didn't have much time to edit but Allison and I did get a chance to dive into Tampa 90's con!!!!! We both went this past weekend and met SO many of our favorite nostalgic celebrities with Allison even getting to interview some of them. I can't wait to share this episode with you as it was such a treat to have someone who was a member of the press behind the scenes for us. We discuss signatures, photo ops, panels and everything in between! Enjoy ;)

Melanie Martin: For The Record Aug 19, 2023

Show notes

In this episode I speak with Melanie Martin to discuss important and tough topics like grief, motherhood and Aaron's legacy. We discuss mental health, addiction and growth. We get into staying with Aaron through the hard times, Louis and others, stalkers and parasocial relationships, cheating rumors and we also leave the door open for more questions! This episode is a relief in many ways but also a sad one. We talk about Aarons final resting place, his legacy and what's next for Melanie and Prince. Enjoy ;)

Caitlin's Way Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

Today we are revisiting one of the most underrated Nickelodeon shows out there. A spunky 14-year-old orphan from Philadelphia has difficulty adjusting to life on a Montana ranch owned by her long-lost cousins, the Lowes. Storylines dealing with Caitlin's attempts to satisfy her restless nature also address adolescent concerns such as peer pressure, stereotypes and sibling rivalry. Enjoy ;)

Sublime: Are You a Bad Fish Too? Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

In today's episode, we go way back to the nostalgia "Ska/Reggae" scene of So Cal! The sunny days of Sublime, No Doubt, Lit and that sweet sweet cultural appropriation! I indulge in the nostalgia of that insanely large Sublime Sun tattoo that someone you knew undoubtably had. I ask the important questions like, if Brad hadn't died would we have to suffer the timeline of Jack Johnson dominating the airwaves for the last twenty years? Was Lou dog suffering a similar fate as Aaron Carter's dogs? How many times can I bring up Aaron carter in this episode? Other topics include Sublime being kicked off of Warped Tour, the band destroying Wilie Nelson's studio, and the infamous house parties that made them legends of So Cal. I have a small update on where Brads son is now, and I review the line up for Reggae Rise Up! Trigger warning as i also dive into the acceptance of songs like "Date Rape", "Santeria" and other songs/ lyrics that paint rape and violence towards women as a casual joke. All of that being said, this week would have been Brad's 55th birthday, every day we love you just a little bit more.

New York Minute Jun 04, 2023

Show notes

In case you forgot: Dr. Drew was in a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie! Today I take a look at Dr. Drew's Love Line era recordings the night before and after the premier of New York Minute. This new insight into the Olsen twins' lives is valuable beyond measure. I also take a look at why this film although being a cult classic is largely problematic in nature. Enjoy ;)

Joey Lawrence & Brittany Murphy May 05, 2023

Show notes

Today I am very excited to talk about all things Lawarence brothers. Of course, I go over the recent allegation made by Mathew Lawarence, but this is actually more of a deep dive on Joey Lawarence, Brittany Murphy, The Torkelson's and Almost Home. The Torkelsons , 1991, to June 6, 1993 the series starred Connie Ray, Olivia Burnette, and William Schallert. For the second and final season, the series was retooled and renamed Almost Home. Almost Home starred Brittany Murphy, Jason Marsden and Lee Norris with a very special guest appearance by Joey Lawarence. Enjoy ;)
