Pop Rocket Ep - 208 Tidying Up with Marie Kondo
Once again we’re firing on all cylinders this week! It’s an ultra-packed show covering everything from The Masked Singer, Surviving R. Kelly,
MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A. and the need to move beyond moralistic posturing in critiquing comedy.
The panel get into a lively discussion of Marie Kondo’s Tidying Up on Netflix show. One panelist loves it, one panelist thinks it’s “sinister”, and a panelist named Guy is so obsessed with one of the families featured on the show he couldn’t stop talking about them.
All Abouts
Margaret shares her thoughts on the heartbreaking and disturbing six-part series Surviving R. Kelly
Guy is all about the 1998 film The Opposite of Sex, and explains how Terry Gross’ recent conversation with Kevin Hart made him appreciate it more.
Wynter is all about the M.I.A. documentary.
And Karen loves the new reality singing competition show The Masked Singer.
