Somewhere Over The Rainbow Podcast

It's a celebration of Vincent's 38th birthday and a realization that he's almost 60 in gay years (gasp)! To honor this special occasion, Dana and Vincent do a quick dive into the week in pop culture before heading off for Vincent's birthday dinner including thoughts on the 2019 nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (vote for Stevie Nicks!!!), thoughts on "The Conners", Vincent's review of "First Man" and this week's "Yeah or Meh" segment with Idris Elba in spandex as a cat.

Dana and Vincent have gone Gaga over the new "A Star is Born" remake and its music (AAHHHHHAHAAAAAAA). In addition to a review of the new Lady Gaga film, they discuss another week in "The Reckoining" with Bill Cosby, a week in pop culture that featured Bette Midler getting read to filth for her tweets, Cardi B's glamourous perp walk and a review of Fall TV shows where Vincent declares his undying love for Jay Hernandez.

A brand new week in pop culture finds Dana and Vincent celebrating the bop that Mariah Carey has given us as an anthem for the times! Also there is more news in "The Reckoning" involving Les Moonves, a breakdown of Emmy's 2018, movie reviews of the new Quincy Jones documentary and "A Simple Favor", Yeah or Meh featuring Captain Marvel and Maroon 5 and a special "We See You Gurl" shout out for one of the MTV Teen Moms.

This episode is almost as long Queen Aretha's funeral (well minus about 7 hours), but chock full of pop culture goodness. Dana and Vincent cover it all from RIP moments for Burt Reynolds and Mac Miller to the Nikki Minaj/Cardi B fight during New York Fashion Week to an onslaught of witches on television and a thwarted job shaming of Geoffrey Owens from the Cosby Show. There's also a movie review segment and this week's "Who Asked For This?!" moment with the Care Bears and High School Musical.

Category is: Salute to Pose realness!!! Join Dana and Vincent as they pay homage to the FX original television show "Pose", which recently wrapped it's first season. (SPOILERS throughout this episode, so listen without having watched the show if ya want to, but you'll get your feelings hurt in the process!)

Fashion, music, heart and realness are the backbone of this show that pays tribute to the ball culture in the 1980's as depicted in films such as "Paris Is Burning". Join them as they openly STAN for the show's music, characters, storylines and talk predictions for season 2.

The loss of the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin looms over this week in pop culture but Dana and Vincent take a moment to celebrate her life (and favorite shady moments) as well as birthdays for Queen of Pop Madonna and the Queen of Cinema (at least for this show) Angela Bassett. This episode also features reviews of the films "Christopher Robin", "BlackkKlansman" and "Crazy Rich Asians" and this week's "Who Asked For This?" moment featuring a reboot of "Designing Women" and a "Pretty Woman" musical on Broadway.

From the ashes of the lost episode that was Episode 39 (first take) comes the phoenix now known as Episode 39 (Redux)! A technical difficulty moment with Dana's former laptop brings forth a new laptop, new perspective and a new episode. All your favorites featuring another installment of "The Reckoning" with R. Kelly and Les Moonves, Week in Pop Culture featuring an RIP moment for MoviePass, the enigma of people who still buy tickets to see Lauryn Hill (she's cancelled several dates like we warned everyone would happen) and a digression from a potential Jonas brothers double wedding to the Brady Bunch. As if that wasn't enough, there's a "Who Asked For This?!" moment with Alf, Fraiser and Africa (the song, not the continent).

It's oppressively hot in California right now, but the heat will not keep Dana and Vincent from kiki-ing about everything that's happened in the last couple of weeks pop culture wise. So much is covered from "summertime sadness" with Joe Jackson (Michael's Daddy, not the singer of "Steppin' Out") and Whitney Houston, to more in "The Reckoning" with Chris Hardwick and Terry Crews, and the "Week In Pop Culture" with diversification of the Academy members, thoughts on the RuPaul's Drag Race Finale and more!

The show was off for a week, and in that time, Jackie from "Roseanne" won a Tony award and Beyonce and Jay-Z released their first joint album "Everything Is Love". Dana and Vincent weigh in on both as well as a potential Black Panther to Birdman (movie, not rapper) transition, the new season of Real Housewives of Orange County (and Vicki's new face) and a Yeah or Meh segment featuring Alicia Silverstone, "Incredibles 2" and "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom".

The deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain cast a sadness over this week in pop culture (RIP to them both), but there were some bright moments including the new Insecure trailer and Issa Rae's roasting of Kanye West. Dana finally sees Solo: A Star Wars Story, so she and Vincent finally get to review it which prompts Dana makes a plea for a cape (because she needs one). Dana and Vincent also give their thoughts on the new Ryan Murphy show "Pose" and Vincent finally comes up with his drag name!
