KP Parker and Jacquis Neal revisit two pop culture moments that hit very differently in hindsight.

Lip Sync, Blame Game: KP rewinds to the Milli Vanilli scandal, looking beyond the headline to the people, pressure, and producer behind it.

A Selfie Seen Round the World: Jacquis takes us back to the 2014 Oscars selfie that briefly broke the internet. What made it feel so massive at the time, and why it now feels like a snapshot from a much simpler online era.
