Episode notes
The gang reunites this week in a special double discussion episode of Pop Rocket!
First up, Queen Bey’s most personal and controversial album yet, Lemonade. Oliver has some critiques for the “visual album” while Guy reveals the problem some of the younger gay men are having with the record.
Then, a very special discussion of all things Prince. His place in pop culture, the young proteges he worked with, weird Prince party stories, and some Batdance talk, obviously. And Prince-inspired jams to top it all off.
With Guy Branum, Wynter Mitchell, Oliver Wang and Margaret Wappler.
That’s My Jam:
Wynter Mitchell – Prince – Mountains
Oliver Wang – Chaka Khan – I Feel for You
Margaret Wappler – Esparanza Spalding – One
Guy Branum – Prince – Let’s Go Crazy
Each week we’ll add everyone’s jams to this handy Spotify playlist.
