Listen To Sassy: Life In The 90s

May 1991 Pop Culture: John Leguizamo, Balthazar Getty & The Whistle That Only Dogs Hear


Listen Later

Pam is on assignment, but Dave and Tara are bravely carrying on without her. What Now brings us such items as the first news blurb Tara probably ever saw about the Texas mom who came up with a murder-for-hire scheme to advance her 13-year-old daughter's cheerleading career to the 1,000,000th update on reigning Sassiest Boy In America Ian Svenonius (LET IT END). Jane admits she can't be objective about R.E.M. generally and Out Of Time specifically, but at least she's right! The Doors is a five-dot pick we're dubious about; Paris Is Burning deserves not just the five dots it also gets but 10! 10! 10s across the board! Finally, we close on whether John Leguizamo proved to be One To Watch, and what associations we still have for Balthazar Getty beyond being an oil heir. If YOUR heroes have always been cowboys, you MUST listen.
