Whammy! Part 1
from The Go To Hell Podcast · host The Go To Hell Podcast
In this first part of a mega episode, Tim talks about the Netflix documentary Wham!, about the 1980's pop sensation Wham! The doc is a fascinating insight into the duo of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley that topped the charts and made young girls swoon in the mid-80s. With it comes important lessons. Tim & Colton discuss: The ridiculous postmodern fetish to sexualize close, meaningful relationships between friends, particularly males. Are parents sometimes dream crushers or Daedalus warning Icarus not to fly too high to the sun? Finally, we discuss George Michael and the inner demons he dealt with. A man who seemed to have everything (and aware of it) was actually a deeply insecure man who struggled to grasp his self-worth. It's a lesson to us to try not to judge what's on the outside and to understand what others are going through on the inside. It'll make us better Jesus followers. Be Kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Beer of the Week: Stone Brewing Co. Two Kiwis Double IPA 1852 Brew Co. Away Days Hazy IPA Music of the Week Colton - Weezer (Blue Album) Tim - Wham! & George Michael (of course) Thanks for listening to the Go To Hell Podcast Show voiceovers are generated using AI courtesy of ElevenLabs Please subscribe, rate and review.
