I always felt J Lo was undeserving of her singing career. I feel the same way about post-No Doubt Gwen Steffani. Like they capitalized on something different (acting and a band) to become the face for mega producers. I need to find some male examples of this.

Kyle

Oh Kyle I have been using something so wonderful and new that you might like: Bob's Red Mill brown rice flour. I have been making scallions pancakes and other sorts of Asian pancakes with it and it's so freaking good for that purpose. Yeah- I love their whole line of gf flours. Great stuff. I don’t...

No scrubs. TLC is really the best, y'all.

Oh my god, y'all! Have you tried Everything Bagel Hummus? I needed a quick work lunch, so I got the Boar's Head Everything Bagel Hummus (I won't buy any other brand because they are flavorless and even Boar's Head is inferior to my homemade hummus) and some rice crackers. Holy cow! This is the great...

When you get to the age where you need reading glasses, don’t frustrate yourself by trying to keep track of where your glasses are. Instead by numerous pairs and place one in every room you tend to spend time on. Reading glasses are super cheap.

I’m rereading Matt Fraction’s run on the Fantastic Four and FF. She Hulk is one of the replacements for the Fantastic Four while they’re gone on their interstellar family vacation. Matt Fraction is great and his take on She Hulk is also great.

I think that's too on the nose.

That's all I got.

Yes, and a I song I completely forgot about for the last 20 years.

We need to commercialize this and revive Orange Crush- my favorite soda when I was a kid.

Every week, there is a new Invisibles Quiz, posted over at FilmWise.com. We solve the Invisibles Quiz as a group. As soon as we have identified all 8 movies, someone goes over to FilmWise and submits the correct answers under our name (NerdPrideRadio). Check/submit answers here. And until Mike gets ...

The links not embedded. But classic. Spice Girls at their best. Particularly Baby with the nose wrinkle.

I saw Third Eye Blind at ACL a couple of years ago. They were fine, but not great. What amazed me is how many songs of theirs I knew. I could have sworn they were a one hit wonder, but I think I recognized five songs.

Kyle

Dawson!

Got my second shot yesterday. The only side effects were some congestion (which may just be allergies which have been acting up) and the soreness in my shoulder is much worse- which kept me up all night when I rolled over on to it. So other than that, no biggie.

Truly.

Just like that chica cherry cola fad.

Gregory Jacobs a/k/a Shock G a/k/a Humpty Hump. 57.

Although Ava wants to do a dedicated facebook page for it.

Kyle

I got it- a zoomcast. A limited series zoomcast. It will have only 10 parts- the first eight movies, Hobbs and Shaw and then the new movie.

What do you say?

Kyle

Wow. What did they have against beakers? They were destroying them the whole video.

But again- I'm obsessed with how Posh doesn't sing or really dance. What does she contribute to the band? That's she's the necessary fifth?

Kyle

No diggity! I forgot about this song! We need to bring it back in commercials!

Kyle

Semi-charmed life is one of those white-people bop along anthems that is pure perfect pop. Like Mr. Brightsides, no matter where you are, if there's a crowd of people and you start playing this, within 20 seconds everyone will be singing along.

Kyle

Right here! Here's the deal- there's no one good location to watch them all: https://www.justwatch.com/us/search?q=fast%20and%20fur So I broke down and spent 30 bucks on amazon for a blu collection that had all 9 predecessor movies. But if you want to cobble it together between the free sites and f...

And this isn't even the oldest. But I was going through old hard drives and found this picture from 2005 when I got in some Instant Game merch. Look at this baby face!

In anticipation of the new Fast and Furious movie, F9, I bought a bluray compilation of all the previous F&F movies and Hobbs and Shaw. I will be rewatching them all with my 20-year-old daughter (who watched all of them before with me in preparation for our now-defunct podcast). I haven't decide...

The Sun Down Motel - Simone St. James. So here's the thing. I looked up "Best horror novels of 2020" and this book was on all the lists. I read the synopsis, which made it seem like it was a murder mystery and not a horror novel, but SO MANY places recommended it to me, so I broke down an...

Also? A great friggin pop song.

Aside, dunno why some in the GOP have a definition of impartiality that means showing equal sympathy to a victim and convicted murderer Derek Chauvin. Because convicted murderer Derek Chauvin is a white police officer, obviously. This standard would not apply to any poor person or any person of col...

Kyle

Chauvin guilty on all counts, including 2nd degree murder, which carries a 12.5 year sentence. But if the jury finds that he committed his crime with aggravating factors (i.e., while there was a child present-- a 9 year old testified about his actions at the trial) his sentence could be as much as 4...

Bonnie Tyler's performance on that song was so wrought with the right emotion and inflection. I can't imagine a better take on it.

Kyle

Okay- first of all: brilliant pop song. I don't care what anyone says. That's great pop. But watch that video. It's actually a pretty brilliant single shot that must have taken them 50 tries before they finally nailed it. It's pretty impressive. Also: does Posh Spice do anything? She didn't sing and...

I would like to join in this booing.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

'97 was definitely the year of Diddy.

What a terrible, terrible person. It amazes me that he's still semi-popular. Not okay. Cancel cancel cancel.

Seriously- they're the real deal. I thought it was a novelty- and maybe that is a lot of their appeal- but they're actually decent rappers.

Love this whole album. Not as much as Kyle did, but I was hooked on it pretty good. I love this album and its "young person" earnestness so much. It hit me when I was in the exact right stage and maturity in my life that I profoundly loved this album. Listening to it now, I realize the ju...

Pete and Bas are legitimate, well-known Bristish rappers who are in their 70s. And they are glorious.

Every time I see one of his videos, I feel like he’s going to lean through the screen and knock me right out. Why would he do that? Didn’t his mama teach him better?

Next band name: Orchestra Explosion

Yeah. He’s pretty racist and conservative. Apparently in rehab he found Jesus in a big way and that’s informed a lot of his political politics. He released an “anti-lockdown” song. Pretty gross person altogether.

My pit bands (no strings, so not an orchestra) have always been the most kind and welcoming group of kids I work with. They started a tradition of all going out to dinner together during production week. They always make sure to invite me as well. Sometimes I go, and when I do I surprise them by pa...

Pit orchestras have a reputation for being one of the most aggressive breeds of orchestra. Is there any truth to that?

Nice try. But I'm pretty sure he was from Liverpool.

For me this was a musical touchtone, and I can hear the influence on a lot my own stuff. Heart on your sleeve, capo on fret two. Better than most of the popular pop rock songs of the era. I agree and love the Gin Blossoms stuff from a pop/fun perspective. There's a rabbit hole you can go down about...

Oh right. I remember that song. I associate it with a sketch on SNL, but I can’t remember which one.
