Somewhere Over The Rainbow Podcast

Now that Thanksgiving is over, Dana and Vincent are ready to jump into the Christmas season with fervor (or maybe just Vincent). This super sized episode includes Dana's mom shading Bing Crosby, drama between Gabrielle Union and America's Got Talent, the new idiotic trend of "perineum sunning" developed by an embodied mermaid, so you know it's legit!

On this pre-Thanksgiving episode, Dana and Vincent give thanks for the blessings that pop culture has bestowed upon them like Baby Yoda, random non-sequitur songs from Celine Dion, the Charlie's Angels (the Kristen Stewart one) reboot flopping, Grammy 2020 nominations and soooo much more!

On this super sized episode, Dana and Vincent cover everything from babies, to BBMak. Vincent gets introspective while listening to George Michael songs, Dana discovers My Chemical Romance and they both give individually distinctive reviews of the new film "Last Christmas" (one thinks it was amazing and one thinks it was garbage...clearly they're the modern day Siskel and Ebert).

On this episode that surely you'll find addictive (shout out to Truth Hurts and Rakim), you'll get everything from old school jams on buses, to Lizzo lawsuits, to deals at Big Lots and the legendary Jane Fonda's Friday arrests. There's also a review of the Lifetime film "Patsy and Loretta" and "Yeah or Meh" featuring a "Facts of Life" reunion, the upcoming film "Last Christmas" and Celebrity Drag Race.

The essence of fall is in full effect on this episode that includes candle-lit ambiance and new fall treat, Turkey Balls (shoutout to Porto's). There are also RIP moments for legends such as Jessye Norman and Diahann Carroll, reviews of the films "Judy", "Joker" and "Dolomite is My Name", the week in pop culture with Jane Fonda's recent arrest, the unification of Lizzbians and Swifties and a "We See You Gurl" moment for Tyler Perry.

Hot girl summer is over, fall is here and so are Dana and a not-balding Vincent with this week in pop culture! Minus a minor senior moment from Vincent, a bevy of topics are discussed from analyzing dreams with baldness to thoughts on Emmys 2019, the tastiness of American Horror Story 1984, face tattoos (aka a cry for help), an onslaught of reboots that no one asked for and prayers for all the Carters.

Dana and Vincent are back to their usual pop culture shenanigans on this episode which finds Vincent taking back previous "meh" feelings about the new Taylor Swift album, #retirementgoals inspiration from Tina Turner, reviews of the films "Hustlers" and "It: Chapter 2", a "Dark Shadows" reboot on the CW and thoughts on the new iPhone 11.

Dana and Vincent are back at it after a brief hiatus while Vincent embarked on his first international trip. They have a lot of catching up to do pop culture wise, so along with discussions about the cleanliness of Tokyo, you'll hear about new show "Sherman's Showcase", the preeminent battle of our time: Popeyes vs. Chik-Fil-A, and news from Disney's D23 expo that further solidifies the notion that Disney owns us all and there's little we can do about it. 

The 2019 Emmy nominations have been announced and we have a little something to say about them! Join Vincent and Dana on their inaugural Somewhere Over The Rainbow Podcast Emmy's Extravaganza bonus episode where they will give you the 411 on their favs in the categories of Drama Series, Comedy Series, Limited Series, Drama Actor/Actress/Supporting Actor/Supporting Actress, Comedy Actor/Actress/Supporting Actor/Supporting Actress and more!! 

It's the end of July, and you know what that means? It's almost time for Halloween (or at least that's what Bath and Body Works and Big Lots wants you to believe)! Dana and Vincent refuse to acknowledge that notion by diving into a myriad of pop culture nuggets including "Giving Me Life" moments from the trailer for "A Black Lady Sketch Show", a deep dive into local California chain restaurants that no one asked for, the list of Kennedy Center honorees for 2019, reviews of "The Lion King", "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" and Lifetime's "Madam of Purity Falls".

Break out your best case of Simpler Wines, because it's Dana's birthday on this episode! The celebration kicks off with Dana's review of Essence Fest and her soul plane flight to New Orleans complete with confused white people! From there, the party continues with a recap of the week in pop culture featuring not so good reviews for the upcoming live action "Lion King" film, tributes to people we lost including one of the originators of Bossa Nova music, Vincent's obsession with the new Madonna channel on Sirius XM, reviews of the new season of "Stranger Things" and a "We See You Gurl" moment for Jaden Smith. 

It's the last day of Pride Month and Black Music month, so there's tons to celebrate in pop culture! Dana and Vincent cover it all (or most of it) from a review of "The Black Godfather" on Netflix, to the premier of Madonna's "God Control" video, to the 2020 class for The Hollywood Walk of Fame, and sooooo much more!

On an episode that you'll clearly want to add to your own "bucket list", Dana and Vincent deep dive into Vincent's acquisition of the coveted AMC Popcorn Bucket, discuss the return of TV favs "Pose" and "Big Little Lies", share their thoughts on the new Madonna album "Madame X",  review "Always Be My Maybe" and "Rocketman" and have a "Who Asked For This" moment with Punky Brewster. 

It's the grand return of Dana and Vincent from a two month hiatus! So much to celebrate from Pride Month, to Black Music Month and the return of Dana's braids, indicating summer's official arrival!  So much is covered this episode including a two enthusiastic thumbs up review for the film "Booksmart" (seriously, go see it!), thoughts on the Game of Thrones finale, thought on Avengers: Endgame (yeah, we know that's old news, but we needed to discuss), discussion about the lackluster nature of the most recent season of RuPaul's Drag Race, why we don't think there needs to be another Batman movie and much, much more (brace yourselves for another super-sized episode). 

Craziness is afoot in the land of pop culture on this SUPER SIZED episode! Vincent updates us on the "gay agenda" which includes a cryptic posting from Madonna, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills drama over a dog and a mental health moment for Britney "Brit Brit" Spears. There's also an in memoriam moment for rapper Nipsey Hussle, discussion of the hottest country hit from Lil Nas X, reviews of the films "Shazam!", "Dumbo" and "Amazing Grace", and that's just in the first 45 min!!! 

Spring is here and the winter showers have brought spring flowers and so much more in the world of pop culture. Everything from new couplings, to cancelled TV shows, to the cast of Pose and Tevin Campbell's ability to sing "Happy Birthday" are be covered this episode, along with a quick review of the new Jordan Peele film "Us" and a "Yeah or Meh?" with Britney Spears and Morrissey on Broadway (or somewhere adjacent to it).

Dana and Vincent return from a brief hiatus wherein Vincent made his very first international trip to Mexico to get in touch with his people and to eat more churros! This week's return to their regularly scheduled pop culture kiki is more sad times than most with the death of Luke Perry (Dylan McKay for vida) and a cancer diagnosis for Alex Trebek. In spite of the sad times, the duo manage to find light in the darkness via Solange's new album, the Game of Thrones trailer, "Captain Marvel" and the poise and patience of Gayle King during an R. Kelly tantrum.

Chile, it's time to don your best red carpet fashions and get into the 2nd annual Somewhere Over The Rainbow Podcast Oscar Reelness bonus episode! Vincent and Dana (no Mopsy this year as she was away at taping time) will give you the rundown on their favs in the categories of Best Original Song, Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Best Director and Best Picture. 

A powerful rainstorm has hit Southern California with winds that almost turned Dana into Mary Poppins, but that will not keep her and Vincent from a kiki over what's new in pop culture from the horrific hate crime attack on Jussie Smollett, to the amazingness of Lizzo and Vincent's obsession with the live version of "Shallow". There's also a discussion on Oscar nominiations (and why there's no love for Julia Roberts), a potential "Beverly Hills 90210" reboot (which rabbit holes into favorite episodes, so gird your loins) a new Lindsay Lohan werewolf movie, the worlds worst tribute to James Ingram and a "Who Asked For This?" moment featuring a Mystic Pizza musical.

Holy 50th episode Batman! If this episode were a gay man, it would live in Palm Springs and talk about most of the things discussed in this episode e.g. how "Green Book" was a movie that barely discussed the actual Green Book, or how whomever competed against Tom Holland in Lip Sync Battle in 2017 was an automatic loser because he bodied Rhianna's "Umbrella" or how Emma Stone stole Lindsay Lohan's career.
