Summary
Mariah had her first bonafide flop with Glitter. But thanks to her devoted fans (aka the “lambily”), the soundtrack reached number one on iTunes 17 years later. But what about the movie Glitter, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary? Is it really that bad? Entertainment writer Matthew Jacobs joins Brooke and Aricia to talk about Glitter, tabloid culture in early 2000s, and their diva Mount Rushmore.
