July 17, 2019 Ep. 71: Before We Had Kpop...
First off, it must be said that this is the most heavily edited episode of AMAK ever. Because you see, we just wanted to talk about all the pop groups we loved as youths and the nostalgia took over. Despite it's runtime, an entire hour was actually edited out of this conversation. So sit back and relax and listen as we take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some objectively terrible, actually perfect, late 90s pop! Don't worry if you can't relate, we do try to bring it all back to Kpop somehow! Then, a real cute patootie in the random game.

July 03, 2019 Ep. 69: AMAK Movie Club: The Wonder Girls (2012)
It's movie club time again! So grab some popcorn (but not a lot, this movie isn't long) for the 2012 Teen Nick/JYP production, The Wonder Girls! In this 43 minute feature, The Wonder Girls are supposedly on tour, but they get distracted by a local contest. Meet their US crew like their new friend Mitchie and all his slang, a helpful lady from a plane, and a very uncool DJ. Plus, JYP is actually charming, a strange obsession with soul food, and that is NOT how you make a promise in America.
