S Club 7: S Club Party 2023 Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

S Club 7 is reuniting for a tour in 2023! This episode was recorded just FOUR days before this announcement was made, so I'd like to say I played a hand in it. First order of business - MERCH is live now, so go get your shirt to support Jesse's Girls in Jesse's unemployment era!

Now onto business - I'm joined this week by actor, content creator, model, and everything renaissance man, Adam Straughan! I couldn't be more honored than to have a native Brit on to discuss a formative group for me, S Club 7. We go through their full career timeline (similar to Spice Girls, it only lasted a few years but was MASSIVE), their meteoric success in the UK and fluke success in the US, and we discuss the beginning of the end. Adam shares what it was like watching the hysteria that ensued when Paul announced his departure, and we discuss, in depth, everything that each member has been up to since their initial breakup. Some are heartbreaking to hear, and others will make you so happy. Of course, we couldn't skimp over the Jo/Celebrity Big Brother controversy (if you don't know about this, strap in!). Then Adam quizzes my UK pop group knowledge at the end. Of course, all roads lead to Hilary, so make sure you listen for how Hilary connects to this conversation!

Valentine's Day Special: Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

Special Valentine’s Day Episode alert! I’m joined this week by Christy from X Knows All to discuss everything Shawn and Camila and their relationship timeline. We break down the relationship inception, all of the cringe yet memorable moments, especially the pap walks and jump scare videos from quarantine, and their breakup. We compare and contrast Shawn and Camila vs Justin and Selena and how effective the PR was for each couple. Do you think there were real elements to their relationship?

Fifth Harmony: The End Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

I’m joined this week by Mykel Montana, my IRL friend! We get into all of the moments during 5H’s second album cycle that led to their demise. We also detail Camila’s departure and how the public and the rest of the group responded. Mykel also gives the hot take that Fifth Harmony gave us one of the last iconic VMA moments. We then chronicle their last era, and have a conversation about their current solo careers and where we predict they will go in the future. Like… will Normani ever release an album?! I also share my Fifth Harmony / Backstreet Boys concert crossover experience.

Extended Mix: Zach Rickel aka @afunctioninggay Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

Surprise! This is the first installment in a new series, Extended Mix. The series will be an opportunity to interview incredible guests whether in between seasons or mid-season that can drop at any time. I’m kicking the series off with Zach Rickel, aka @afunctioninggay on Instagram and Tiktok! We did this for the pop music NERDS! I live for these conversations. We discuss everyone from Britney (of course), Madonna, Janet, JOJO (!!!), Tinashe, Mariah, Kylie… I mean, c’mon! Zach asks me which 5 artists I would take with me on a deserted island if I could only listen to their discographies forever. I also do a Kylie Minogue impression you can’t miss. Deep cuts, albums, singles, we got into it all.

Spice Girls: Spice World Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

I reached into the deep recesses of the internet to watch the almost-scrubbed-from-the-viewing-zeitgeist cult classic, Spice World! I’m joined by Sloane and Zach of The Mummy Dearest Podcast to genuinely delight in the nostalgia of this camp masterpiece. Re-watching Spice World in our 30s did not disappoint, and it was a riot to talk it over with these goons. We cover everything from how famous and BUSY the Spice Girls were when this filmed, how dynamic and great they were on screen, Sloane’s HOT husband, Zach’s suggestion to replace Geri with a twink when she left the group, and which Spice Girl we most relate to. Also, Sloane and Zach asked their listeners to submit questions about the film or the Spice Girls in general and we answer those to close out the show! IMPORTANT: if you want to figure out how to watch the film, we discuss it in the show, but I am happy to DM links to anyone who asks as I will not link it in the show notes and draw attention to where this movie lives online. And that’s on GIRL CODE, BABES!

Spice Girls: 2 Become 1... Allegedly Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

Lesbian stuff! Today, Lia Russo of @ashleeandjessicast joins the pod to discuss the timeline of Geri and Mel B’s alleged romantic/sexual relationship and how they’ve discussed it (or not) in media. Two disclaimers!!! This episode was recorded a few months ago in 2022 AND we are not speculating about sexuality - we are merely examining their response to allegations and also perceptions about sexuality/labels. That being said, IT’S DELICIOUSLY FUN TO ANALYZE HOW THEY’VE RESPONDED OVER THE YEARS AND YOU SHOULD WAIT TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT THEM UNTIL THE END OF THE EPISODE!! Also, we laugh about how Lia is straight but I keep making her come on my podcast to discuss queer women hahahaha.

You can find Lia’s podcast account @ashleeandjessicast on Instagram / Twitter and her personal @capriamoon on Instagram! Give her a follow!

Spice Girls: Spice Up Your Life Dec 30, 2022

Show notes

In this SOLO episode of Jesse's Girls, I kick off Season 3 with a QUICK overview about the formation of the Spice Girls and chronicle their unique rise to success and disbandment in their prime. My head was spinning putting all of this side-by-side, so this will be a great refresher as to how famous they were. Of course, I get into the charts and the numbers, honey!

Emergency Episode: Where in the World is Britney Spears? Dec 10, 2022

Show notes

Emergency Episode! There is so much to speculate about Britney Spears right now. The Nobu birthday Tiktok, rumors of she and Sam living separately, and if she’s really free. Does Britney control her Instagram? Why would she post a positive message about JLS? If you have any of these same questions, Troy McEady of Beyond the Blinds and Dunzo! Is here to weigh in on ALL of these things with me. This is front-to-back content. We start with rumors surrounding her wedding and marriage and end with a BOMBSHELL about Sam Asghari. Please forgive my hoarse voice in this episode - I had to power through and get this out ASAP!

You can find Troy on Instagram @dunzopodcast and @beyondtheblindspod.

Bonus: Happy Birthday, Britney Spears! Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

This week Zach Patton-Garcia and I talk about the unique and amazing VOICE of Britney Spears and our favorite vocal moments from studio recordings, demos, and live performances! We discuss Zach attending the movies barefoot in the Deep South, we struggle to remember the names of literally everything, and we act like two little giggly children at a sleepover nerding out over Brit Brit. I also had to mute myself for several minutes because I choked on water for a while and Zach had to improvise, so send him some love for that!! It wouldn’t be an episode of my show without fully derailing and just talking about songs we love, so expect that as well. Join our Kiki!

You can find Zach’s Instagram HERE! His podcasts are linked in his bio, so please go check him out!
