This episode we’re focusing on hit-makers Maroon 5. Along with our guests, Emily Walters and Kennon McKinney, we’re finding the inspiration for every tattoo, celebrity cameo, and explosion (more of each than you remember.) We’re digging deep, whether perpetual main character Adam Levine is escaping a bank robbery, getting turned on by a meat locker, or crashing way too many public events. Subscribe! Rate five stars! Move like Jagger!

This episode we’re retracing the paths that led us to one of the seminal moments in music video history: 2001’s Lady Marmalade. Somehow, the fates brought us Missy Elliott, Mya, Pink, Lil Kim, and Christina Aguilera, strutting their stuff down in old Moulin Rouge. Along with our guest Colin Rourke, we’re taking another look at the videos released just before this legendary collab, and determining who worked the hardest to earn their corseted slot in the group. It’s an episode full of medium-difficulty choreography, broad comedy, and of course, that thing where Christina Aguilera’s hoodie is unzipped and inside there’s another Christina Aguilera. Listen! Subscribe! Rate 5 stars!

Every week Ryan says, “This isn’t a songs podcast,” but this episode begs to differ as we focus on one of the most beloved vocalists of all time: Whitney Houston. Along with our guest and Whitney superfan Damon Royster, we’re tracking every step in a videography that includes mistaken identity, a secret affair, and of course, a fur coat floating out to sea. Listen! Subscribe! Rate five stars!

This episodes brings us a legend of stage, screen, generosity, and wigs: Dolly Parton. We’re focusing on Dolly’s 1980s’ rise to pop and movie stardom, with no (rhine)stone left unturned. Helping us sort through all the high heels, acrylic nails, and angelic harmonies is none other than Robin Dafforn! Listen, subscribe, and rate five stars! Follow us on Instagram @musicvidpod

This episode brings us the ultimate pop star: one Miss Britney Jean Spears. From the not-humble-at-all beginnings of the instant classic Baby One More Time to the not-that-innocent Mars invasion of Oops I Did It Again, we’re covering every moment of choreography, the lowest jeans in history, and the most aggressively lip synced Ls in the business. We’re joined comedy superstar (and Britney superfan) Jessica Joy!

Oh my God, we're back again! Chris and Ryan are joined by MVP-MVP Ray Glass to watch the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards and talk about the nominees for Video of the Year, and simply nothing makes sense. Where are we? Is the theme of this show "New York," "space," or "Toyota"? Why can't Lady Gaga have a california roll? How is Bella Hadid involved in this, and why? We might not have all the answers, but at least we have each other. Let's figure it out together!

This episode we’re focused on pop’s newest maybe-power couple Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. Andrew Lemna joins us to suss out all the drama, cliches, and almost-kisses of Shawn and Camila’s oeuvre, alone and together. Whether they’re almost-nailing the easiest choreo of the year, posing for ceiling cams, or hamming it up in Old Hollywood, Shamila (Camawn?) will take you back to the kinder, gentler, mask-free days of February 2020.

We’ve covered 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys, and now it’s time for...the “other” boy bands: B and C (and sometimes D) listers like 98 Degrees, Five, and O-Town! Michael Erickson joins us to analyze every oversized costume, beginners’ CGI, and lazy innuendo of pop music’s bench-warmers.
