In addition to my INDUSTRY review, I got to have a very fun chat with PCHH guests Shamira Ibrahim and Ryan Mitchell about Harper’s perceived “narcissism,” Yas’s shrewd calculations, and so much more: www.npr.org/2024/10/03/1...

HBO's 'Industry' is nasty, stressful, and irresistible : Pop Culture Happy Hour

The latest season of HBO's Industry was over the top. The drama is about backstabbing, morally compromised investment bankers. But it managed to make its characters even more backstabb-y and ethically dubious than ever before. Frenemies fought hard. Buried vices and addictions came to light. And death hovered over the entire season in shocking fashion. Subscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhour

I have! My dad is/was a huge fan, so I’ve seen a lot of those old clips 😊

Wrote about how S3 of INDUSTRY got more bonkers, and even better. (Spoilers abound.) This show friggin’ rules. www.npr.org/2024/09/27/n...

In Season 3, ‘Industry’ got pulpier, nastier, and better

Industry is less concerned with whether its characters are “likable” and more interested in how they get what they want. In the Season 3 finale, those ambitions reached their inevitable – sometimes gruesome – conclusions.

I recently watched his duet with Pavarotti for the first time and my goodness what a performance that was, even if he wasn’t dancing and strutting around on stage

Who? 🙃

Yup! I saw 98 Degrees at a fair before they got huge. I was surprised to learn they were white (their only single at the time was that “Invisible Man” song 🫠)

!!! My parents took me to a ton of shows I didn’t appreciate before I saw TLC (Aretha, Wilson Pickett, Ray Charles). Wish I could’ve appreciated them then

Ahhhh so awesome

That is awesome

WTH was Sugar Hill Gang doing opening for *NSYNC?? lol Tbh, my *real* first concert was Aretha Franklin, but I was 5 and barely remember it!
