It's autumn -- the season made for cozy vibes and a spooky aesthetic. In this episode, you're invited to curl up with a hot beverage and enjoy being transported back to the 90s for a conversation on two timeless fall flicks -- Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown. Naseem is joined by her friend Haley (back from Season 1) to discuss their love for these movies, the iconic quotes that still make them laugh today, the adult innuendos we only just caught on to, and finally - the nostalgia that makes these traditions remain so special.
Enjoy! You can DM your thoughts or commentary to Naseem on Instagram (@naseemk) and as always please subscribe, share, and review this podcast if you love it!

This movie just turned 20 so of course, warrants an immediate episode. Naseem takes us through four categories that must be discussed as she did a recent rewatch:
1) The Cool Factor (fashion, soundtrack, and Mandy Moore anyone?)
2) The Characters (the Michael Dilemma; listen to find out)
3) The Catchy Quips (the one liners we know and love -- plus others we only caught through closed captions)
4) The Crux (includes an epiphany about the big moral of the film)
Plus, some trivia to impress y'all as well as some moments in the film that probably wouldn't be as "PC" today. ENJOY

In this episode, the Sound Bite Series continues with a look at Britney Spears' second album "Oops I Did It Again." This is her 2 for 2 of diamond certified albums and we're going through her entire rap sheet. Plus, the music videos, the songs that never became singles, the interlude tracks, the hilarious "Dear Diary" final track... and more. In this episode, Naseem is rejoined by special guest Gabriela Gonzalez for a roundtable discussion of Britney's conservatorship and the controversy surrounding the recent documentary and "Free Britney" movement. This might change your perspective on the matter.
Our biggest takeway was the eerie foreshadowing of the lyrics in so many of her heartbreaking lyrics. Don't miss this.

We're studying one iconic CD from the 90s/00s and reminiscing on the hit singles - but more importantly the hidden gems. We're kicking it off with *NSYNC's debut album! Of course you know "Tearing Up My Heart" and "I Want You Back" but how about "You Got It" or "I Need Love" ?! Best part is Naseem is live watching some of their music videos while recording so you get the immediate commentary.
What is your favorite *NSYNC song from this album?
