It's been a minute since we had an episode. But John and Dean are trying to get back at it. And what better way then to explore both queer bating as well as the "Over 30 Curse" in the same episode we talk about K-Pop! John has a theory that when a female artist hits 30 they are either excluded or cast out of popularity. Whether it's by the actions of stations, labels, or critics, or just some social force that we all somehow cling to, we've seen it time and time again. Christina, Britney, and now Katy Perry. Who's album John and Dean absolutely loved, and yet was somehow both too much like the old Katy and somehow also not as good as the old Katy. And therein lies our problem. As much as John and Dean loved Katy's album, there were some very interesting moments where she is either expressing unstated bisexual desires, or is queer bating us because that's a thing that money people do to get more gay dollars. In two videos there are definite references to either Katy being queer, or Katy being in a relationship with someone queer. And while we love to see it, we also hate to see it. Dean muses on what Shawn Mendes was or was not saying in his latest song/video, and then launches into a rant about queer bating and queer representation in both old Hollywood and new. (John says yes a lot.) Finally we end on a great note, the rise of K-Pop in popular culture and the amazing (almost) new Mini-Album from one of our favorite groups, Blackpink. While they disagree on "Ice Cream" (and whether not liking is the same as disliking,) they overall love the the new release and can't wait to hear more! Don't forget to catch John on Live Stream celebrating the release of Immortal Dreams, and stay tuned for upcoming karaoke nights.
