Stuffed Animals as Iconic Pop Albums
One of my absolute favorite kinds of videos to watch on YouTube are ASMR videos - they're how I relax, unwind, calm down, and fall asleep.

Do The Billboard Charts Matter?
Since the launch of Nielsen Soundscan in 1991, A LOT has changed about the way we consume music, which means that a lot has changed about the way music consumption is reflected on the Billboard chart which has purported itself to be a fair aggregate of the music that MOST people are generally listening to and the music that MOST people like since its inception. With the influx of digital music downloads, streaming, TikTok virality, and the massive sociopolitical divides that seep into every corner of culture....do the Billboard charts REALLY represent the "most popular" or "most liked" songs or artists in music anymore? Does it matter? This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thelizardreview.substack.com/subscribe

Revisiting 4 of The WILDEST Celebrity Marriages
With the influx of reality television, the media's obsession with female celebrities reaching a fever pitch, and the digital era all converging at once....there were some pretty interesting public weddings that took place in the y2k era. Before we had celebrities like Tom Holland and Zendaya wisely choosing to keep their nuptials private, we had people like Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson turning their weddings into reality television and tabloid spectacles. Here are FOUR of my favorite messiest celebrity marriages from the archives, each more bizarre and shocking than the last. This is a public episode.

Revisiting Britney Spears' ICONIC 2003 Interview With Diane Sawyer
In November 2003, on the precipice of a brand new chapter of her life and career, Britney Spears sat down with Diane Sawyer for a Primetime interview to discuss everything from her so-called "new edgier image", to her new album, her family, life in the public eye, and her highly publicized breakup with NSYNC member Justin Timberlake. Even 23 years later, this interview is compelling, shocking, and most importantly, very indicative of the way we thought about and treated our female celebrities in the 2000's. In this episode, I go through it moment by moment, and word for word - reflecting on purity culture, mid-riffs, and y2k fashion, while also comparing the interview and its contents to the way we talk about female celebrities today.
