98. Exploring The 90s Boy Band to 2000s Emo Pipeline + 10 Most Rewatchable Movies | Emo Kids Anonymous

Amanda recently went to see the Backstreet Boys at The Sphere in Las Vegas so we decided to do a full episode looking into why so many boy band fans transitioned into hot topic emo kids. This conversation explores the evolution of emo and pop punk music, the influence of boy bands, and the apparent connections to K-Pop? It delves into the cultural significance of these genres and their impact on audiences, particularly female fans. We touch on the uncomfortable topic of double standards as we look at "bands for girls" vs "bands for boys". Were FOB and MCR and AAR and P!ATD just the BSB and *NSYNC and LFO of their eras? Speaking of All American Rejects, we also dive into their recent decision to tell Ticketmaster to frig off. Who doesn't love Tyson Ritter, right?Last but CERTAINLY not least though, REWATCHABLES. If you are uninformed or possibly uncultured, the legendary podfather himself, Bill Simmons, dropped his 50 most rewatchable films of the 21st century and it was one of the best podcast episodes of all time. ALL TIME. We figured we would pay homage while waxing poetic over films we like too, so we also name each of our 10 most rewatchable films. The genius of 'Tropic Thunder', the cinematic mastery of 'The Dark Knight Trilogy', the timeless romance of 'Pride and Prejudice', and the majestic majesty of 'Jurassic World Dominion' (!?). Amanda marks out over the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 'Infinity War' and 'Endgame' making her list. I celebrate the cult classic 'Clerks 2', and Amanda reflects on the magical journey of the 'Harry Potter' series. Obviously I put a few more classic comedies on there like Superbad and Step Brothers, but Amanda pulled out a few I've definitely never seen. Lorde of the Rings? Independence Day? Who has time for that stuff!?!?Thank you for watching, please leave a comment and prescribe to the pod. Share it, stream it while you sleep, show it to your dad, all of your support means the world.
