    The Vacuous Comforts of Tate McRae's So Close to What (with Steven J. Horowitz) (Patreon Preview) Feb 24, 2025
    Show notes

    In a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon: All Access episode, is pop music stuck in a nostalgia loop? Pop starlet Tate McRae's new album is highly referential to the last twenty years of pop from Britney to the Pussycat Dolls to Halsey and beyond. But on her new album So Close to What, which dropped last week, does she form her own identity? Or do she and her murderer's row of collaborators just do good karaoke? Louie, Russ, and Variety's Steven J. Horowitz discuss.

    Is Katy Perry's Teenage Dream a Classic Without Its Singles? (Patreon Preview) Feb 17, 2025
    Show notes

    In a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon: All Access episode, Katy Perry's second studio album Teenage Dream is deemed a classic "pop bible" by many pop fans. The album produced five number one singles and spun off a deluxe version with another couple top tens. But what about the other seven tracks from the TD era? If you listen to this record without its classic hits, does it hold together as a complete body of work? Louie and Russ dive into every one of Teenage Dream's non-singles to get answers and decide if the album is a bonafide classic, or just a great collection of smashes paired with some less great filler.
