Summary
This week Pop Rocket celebrates its 200th episode!!! To commemorate this auspicious occasion, Karen, Margaret and Wynter take a look at how each of them has evolved from the quaint, carefree days of 2015 to the unrelenting hellscape that is 2018. Remember the blue dress? Sorry, remember the white dress? They'll reminisce about that fun moment in pop culture, talk Taylor Swift then and now, and how much things have changed in terms of trans visibility from back in 2015 when Caitlyn Jenner sat down for an interview with Diane Sawyer on 20/20, and the strides we've made since then.
In addition, Guy takes us with him to the seaside town of Mendocino and lets us eavesdrop as he attempts to talk to his mother Deb and his niece Olivia about the pop culture they are currently consuming.
All Abouts
Margaret highly recommends There There: A Novel by Tommy Orange.
Wynter is all about Michelle Obama’s new book Becoming, but in audiobook format.
Karen’s into Survivor 37: David vs Goliath.
That's My Jam
Wynter - Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money
Karen - Carly Rae Jepsen - Party for One
Margaret - Lower Dens - To Die in L.A.
With Karen Tongson, Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh, and Margaret Wappler.
