Milli, Monsters, and Minibars

We kick off our latest episode with the dramatic rise and fall of Milli Vanilli, reminiscing about their chart-topping hits and the infamous lip-syncing debacle that shook the music world. We dig into the creative minds behind their iconic tracks, pondering the fate of those irresistible royalties. Our journey then pivots to the gripping narrative of Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Eric Menendez Story.” With riveting performances from talents like Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny, and newcomers Cooper Koch and Nicholas Alexander Chavez, this true crime saga kept us glued to our screens. We explore how the series cleverly incorporates Milli Vanilli’s music for a deeper metaphorical impact, creating an unexpected bridge between the two stories.

Switching gears, we lighten the mood with memories of a standout SNL episode featuring the comedic brilliance of John Mulaney and musical guest Chapel Roan. With unforgettable sketches and surprise guests, it was a night of laughter and musical magic. We also share a delightful two podcast recommendations, “Classy,” narrated by Jonathan Minivar, perfect for those who love humor mixed with clever mnemonic tricks and Desert Island Discs, one of the longest running series from BBC radio. To cap off our discussion, we dive into the character-rich world of “The Lincoln Lawyer” series, applauding its quality writing and surprise cameos, like the charming Bernie Kopell.

Also, we spend time celebrating some of the many brilliant accomplishments of Quincy Jones.
