Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About MusicEp. 47 Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture“Grease is the word.”
In Episode 47, Kiara flies solo once again while sharing her thoughts on the classic soundtrack for the movie-musical, Grease (1978). In this episode, Kiara recounts her early experiences watching the film with her neighbours and quickly moves into how her view on the plot and most of the iconic songs has changed, highlighting the double standards that exist between the male and female characters. And while she mourns the end of summer over a few Tequila Sunrises, Kiara still manages to find moments of joy in the flawlessly choreographed dance numbers, the 50’s-inspired earworms, and the subtle victor...

In Ep. 44 Kiara invites Bonnie back to the podcast to discuss the latest release from Machine Gun Kelly, Tickets To My Downfall (2020). In this episode we rejoice at the return of an early 2000s pop punk sound that got a modern day makeover from a rap star who took a risk that seriously paid off; churning out not just hit singles that combine honest lyrics with punchy power chords like “my ex’s best friend”, but also surprisingly gentle melodies such as “play this when i’m gone” and “lonely”. And with a couple Bloody Valentin...
