The Pretty Committee Strikes Back (with Benito Skinner)

Actor. Comedian. Writer. Icon. Benito Skinner is on the pod and he's here to show the aliens (or any other beings who might find the record, he does not discriminate!!!) more than just pop culture—he wants them to feel the passage of time. Groundbreaking albums go from panned to adored. Musicians put on amazing performances and are shunned. TV-shows run 100 episodes without heeding any stop signs. Meh clothing becomes a uniform. And The Lion King goes from being an animated film, to a live Broadway musical, to The Lion King with 3D-rendered, lifelike animals voiced by an all-star cast, just because we can. Benito's Artifacts A compact disc of ARTPOP, Lady Gaga (audio) Nicki Minaj's performance of Roman Holiday at the Grammys (audio-visual) The Riverdale pilot episode and then one from Season 5 (audio-visual) A Gucci belt (human ephemera) The 2019 remake of The Lion King (audio-visual) Follow Benito on Twitter and Instagram and listen to him and Mary Beth Barone on their podcast Obsessed.
