This week on JJ Meets World, we dive into the surprising cultural dominance of Just Dance—a franchise that has quietly become a massive global juggernaut. From school carnivals to YouTube dance sessions, we break down why this game continues to thrive across generations.
We also explore how the internet—especially YouTube—may have completely disrupted the karaoke industry, and what that means for performers, venues, and nostalgia.
Plus, a spoiler-free discussion of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die and a deep appreciation for the unmatched versatility of Sam Rockwell. From indie gems to blockbuster hits, we examine why he might be one of the most underrated actors working today.
Along the way: theater kids, DuckTales confusion, Scottish karaoke fame, and the strange logic of tugboat captains.
