Welcome

Jo here. This weeks episode is a bit different. No weekly news rundown, no politics, no doomscrolling - just us (me and Tasha) losing our minds over the new Michael Jackson movie trailer. If you’re here for MJ nostalgia, you’re about to get your fill.

Episode Summary

Tasha joins late, fuming because her “MJ vibe” was nearly ruined. We immediately spiral into full-on Michael Jackson superfan mode. The new movie trailer has dropped and, frankly, it’s all we care about right now. Tasha’s watched it more times than she’s slept, her granddaughter’s obsessed, and we’re both reliving our childhoods.

Jo’s got a list of questions for Tasha: first MJ memories, favourite songs, best concert, and what it means to be a lifelong fan. Tasha talks about the emotional rollercoaster of being a supporter through all the media storms, the joy of MJ’s music, and the frustration with the estate’s half-arsed marketing. We play some home video clips, talk about the allegations, and why most fans have done more research than the bloody journalists.

We swap stories about MJ memorabilia, family dress-ups, and the wildest things we’ve done for fandom. Tasha shares what she’d say to Michael if she could, why she doesn’t bother convincing skeptics, and how being a fan has shaped her resilience.

Key Takeaways

  • The new Michael Jackson trailer is out and Tasha hasn’t slept since.
  • MJ fans have done more homework on the allegations than most reporters.
  • Favourite MJ memories: Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad Tour, Smooth Criminal, and the iconic moonwalk (which, shockingly, Tasha can’t do).
  • Being a fan is about more than music - it’s about community, comfort, and a bit of madness.
  • Tasha’s wildest fan moment? Catching the director of Leaving Neverland trolling fans on Twitter.
  • You can’t cancel MJ - he’s too ingrained in music, culture, and dance.
  • If you’re skeptical, do your own research. Most people who do end up pissed off at the media, not Michael.

If you’re still here, you’re either as obsessed as we are or just enjoy a bit of chaos. We’ll be back next week with the usual shitshow. Until then, go watch the trailer, play Off the Wall on repeat, and don’t let the trolls get to you. Life’s a shitshow  - it might as well have a good soundtrack.
