Episode 158 - Spice World (w/ Megan)

The headless chicken can only know where he's been. He can't see where he's going. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia as we spice up our respective lives with "Spice World." We're also joined by our mutual friend Megan who we're not going to ditch as soon as we get in the nightclub.  We're talking matters of intergalactic consent in our 158th episode as we discuss:

• The pushback from some of the listenership about if Spice World is worth our time
• The legacy that Spice World inherits and if gender plays into its own legacy
• What is the impact of the Spice Girls on the younger generation, who don't remember it the first time around
• Whether we feel the infantilization and subsequent sexualization of Emma Bunton is problematic
• Can something be too meta for its own good?
• Why Megan would be a terrible security guard
• Liam and Megan share stories of their trip to see the Spice Girls at Wembley Stadium a few years back 
• Ian shares a story about how no good deed goes unpunished
• Whether or not Spice World is the Best Film Ever
