Does Mariah Carey's Glitter Deserve #Justice? (with Matt Jacobs) (Patreon Preview)

In a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon: All Access episode, entertainment writer Matt Jacobs, who penned a piece for Vulture called "The Never-ending Story of Glitter, 20 Years On", joins DJ Louie to chronicle the twisting tale of Mariah Carey's infamous 2001 flop film and soundtrack album. Louie and Matt detail Glitter's '80s pastiche conceit, what works on the record, what doesn't, all of the Glitter's adjacent cultural accoutrement (the TRL appearance!, "I don't know her"!, 9/11!), the recent #justiceforglitter movement and what it speaks to more broadly about our desire right past cultural wrongs, especially those perpetrated against famous women.
