Deep Cut #1 The UK, “Invasions”, and The Spice Girls (Patreon)

The purpose of each deep cut is to:

Give me a reason to gab about an element(s) of pop culture that had a direct or indirect impact on my childhood

Discuss regional history that typically goes overshadowed in history retrospectives

Tie said element to the larger series

Foreshadow future episodes

Be "fun" and "nostalgic"

In this episode, we dive into The Spice Girls and 90s British History. We even talk briefly about the black female music scene in London. I hope you enjoy.

There is a teeny audio issue toward the beginning of the video where scenes are running concurrently. Sorry for the inconvenience!   A lot was trimmed from this episode and I wish I would have had more time to edit. I am looking to hire a part-time video editor in January for this series and the I Love The 90s series because I want these to be as high quality as the main series. I hope it still is enjoyable to watch as is.

Thanks for being a $5+ patron!

If you're interested, you can watch The Spice Girls movie for free in its entirety here.
