#130 BRITNEY SPEARS: THE WOMAN IN ME! (ft. Jasmine Danielle)
Jan 2701:41:12Tap to summarizeOops! We podded again. We are ever so slightly back with a fresh episode on…Britney Spears’ ‘The Woman In Me’! Along with Black Bubblegum Podcast’s Jasmine Danielle, we get into Brit’s chaotic Southern Gothic childhood, her ‘cosmic consciousness’ and paranormal experiences, her misguidedly Method acting for Crossroads, and the conservatorship that almost took her down.

#129 - A BETTER UNKNOWN! (ft. David Sims)
Feb 26, 202501:16:49Tap to summarizeAnd Introducing film correspondent, Blank Check pod & the Atlantic’s David Sims returns for two more recent musician biopics: James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown & Michael Gracey’s Better Man. Two very different movies about very different musicians that nonetheless explore similar themes on the nature of fame, talent & musicianship. We talk Timmy, Bobby, Robbie & more, and see if there’s still juice to squeeze from the biopic genre. Plus of course: does the monkey play?

Feb 18, 202501:33:08Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Willenium, baby! We’re joined by YouTube’s Todd in the Shadows to look at the musical career of Will Smith. From growing up under the influence of his demanding father, to discovering his performing (and lying) abilities in school, clicking with Jazzy Jeff, indulging in “chicken wings,” his super-star turn to acting & extremely self-conscious return to hip-hop, we track Will’s music & celebrity up to “the slap” and beyond from his 2021 memoir Will. As Todd says, may be one of the weirdest guys he’s ever encountered. Check out Todd’s Trainwerckords video on Will Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNm0HDCRdnc&ab_channel=ToddintheShadows Plus Todd’s always great year-end videos, Worst Songs of 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8ssUcZSqV8&ab_channel=ToddintheShadows Best songs of 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkXpvScL94Q&ab_channel=ToddintheShadows Songs in order: DJ Jazzy Jeff - Peter Piper Routine DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Girls Ain’t Nothing but Trouble DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime Will Smith - Don’t Say Nothing Will Smith & Joyner Lucas - Tantrum Neil Cicierega - Wow Wow

We cover his stressful transcontinental Live Aid experience, his Disneyfied '90s, his vibrant but turbulent romantic life, his big band era, and much much more. The book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/538475/not-dead-yet-by-phil-collins/ Songs in order: Phil Collins - Against All Odds (8-Bit cover by HumanDaikon) Phil Collins - Invisible Touch Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll (Live At Live Aid) Phil Collins - Everyday Phil Collins - Sussudio The Phil Collins Big Band - Pick Up the Pieces (Average White Band cover) Phil Collins - You'll Be In My Heart Phil Collins - No Way Out (Theme from Brother Bear) Phil Collins - Uptight (Everything's Alright) (Stevie Wonder cover) Phil Collins - Take Me Home

Jul 31, 202401:32:08Tap to summarizeI can feel it coming ON the air tonight...a podcast about Phil Collins. Well, the first part of a podcast about Phil Collins. We're talking about his child actor youth, his mod adolescence, his rock 'n' roll grindset that got him a slot in Genesis, his scoot from the drumset to the front of the stage after Peter Gabriel's departure, and the hella divorced energy beginnings of his epic solo career. All through his own words, his memoir Not Dead Yet: The Memoir. Plug in your drum machine and don't f*ck up your shot at playing the bongos on a George Harrison record...because folks are saying there's still time to make it an Abacab summer.
