Will Wicked Make Ariana Grande a Movie Star? (with Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson) (Patreon Preview) Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

In a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon: All Access episode, the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked is a smash hit, raking in $114 million dollars during its first weekend and earning rave reviews from critics and fans alike. One of its two leads, pop diva Ariana Grande, is also earning plaudits in her first headlining film role, even including some serious Oscar buzz.

But while many pop stars have attempted a Hollywood crossover, very few— even those with a successful film or two under their belts— have been able to turn that into a long-term successful film career. Why is that? And will things be different for Ariana?

Chief Film Critic at Vanity Fair and host of the podcast Little Gold Men Richard Lawson joins Louie and Russ to break down Ariana's performance in Wicked and what it portends for her future on the silver screen.

ADELE: PART 1 (with The New York Times' Leah Greenblatt) Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

The New York Times Senior Staff Editor Leah Greenblatt joins Pop Pantheon for the first in a two-part series on the mega diva of her generation, Adele. Leah and Louie explore Adele’s origin story, from her brief MySpace era to her official debut single which she wrote at just 16, “Hometown Glory.” From there they discuss her first album, 2008’s 19, which made her a star in the U.K., and “Rolling in the Deep,” which set the stage for her global takeover. Next, they tackle 21, a breakup album so successful, it was seen as single-handedly saving a struggling music industry struggling to adapt to the digital era.

Tune in next week for part two, covering 25, 30 and Adele’s place in the Official Pop Pantheon.

What Exactly is a "Flop"? (with Brittany Spanos & Chris Stedman) Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

Katy Perry's latest album 143 lit the internet ablaze for all the wrong reasons when it dropped earlier this year, mostly because of how wrong it got nearly everything and how hard it underperformed as a result. 143 was a capital-F flop in the classic sense of the term. But what exactly does the moniker "flop" mean when it comes to pop music? What constitutes a true flop? How do pop fans use it? Where did it originate and how has it morphed over time into a term of endearment for diehards, especially queer ones? All that and more in this fascinating conversation.
