Jem Girls Podcast

Because there was simply too much Jem to jam into last week’s episode (get it???) we are here to bring you the thrilling, second instalment of the little Michael Jackson learning to swim documentary/Ba Nee has mad daddy issues, the series/“the twenty-fourth episode of Jem and the Holograms, “The Jem Jam,” part two. Outside of resolving all of the dangling plot threads from last week’s episode (save for Rio’s seduction of Johnny Deacon) this episode is also noteworthy for it holds the record for the most frequent use of the word “gimmick” in a twenty-two minute piece of media. We thought we knew what a gimmick was before watching this episode but boy howdy were we ever wrong. See, gimmick is a state of mind. It’s also a synonym for “invention” while also being the solely appropriate term to describe a flying music stage. If you don’t follow that’s because you’re not of the gimmick-initiated. You’re probably not even a gimmick-neophyte. You’ll get there, simply listen to our latest commentary on the long-running animated Jem documentary (that’s what this is, right?) and all will be revealed!
