Polishing Turds: A Bad Music Podcast

Having overcome the obstacles of a broken home and an uneasy path to success, Good Charlotte are now one of the most popular bands in America. But herein lies a paradox: how does a band that rose to prominence by ripping on Rich & Famous celebrities stay cool now that they're fully enmeshed in Hollywood culture?
The answer was not always clear, and throughout the late 2000s and 2010s the boys from Maryland struggled to remain relevant as their audience slowly shrank. Join us as we process the side of Good Charlotte's career most people don't know about, as well as some of their strange personal episodes such as Joel Madden's decidedly creepy relationship with teenage pop star Hillary Duff.

In our final installment of the Black Eyed Peas trilogy, we watch the band descend to new depths of vapid, pandering dance music. We review their much-maligned Super Bowl performance as well as the lesser-known-but-equally-perplexing Black Eyed Peas video game. Is this truly the most insufferable era of BEP's career, or are Cal and Nick simply 2000-late?

--Will.i.am got one of his songs played on Mars? No, seriously...
--For a very brief period in the late 2010s Black Eyed Peas actually decided to make good music again..

After years of grinding in obscurity, the Black Eyed Peas finally hit it big thanks to a handful of catchy pop hits as well as the addition of new member Fergie. But did they compromise too much of their soul to get to the top? Cal & Nick discuss the thorny nature of BEP's pivot toward commercialism in the 2000s.
DID YOU KNOW??
--"Let's Get it Started" once had a much more offensive title, and it was arguably changed for all the wrong reasons...
--"My Humps" is actually a feminist anthem (at least according to will.i.am)...
--Cal has no problem telling someone to "go away" at Portillo's...
These and other ear-popping facts in Part II of our Black Eyed Peas trilogy!

Stop, collaborate and LISTEN as we chip away at the complicated career of Vanilla Ice. Seriously, if you thought "Ice Ice Baby" is corny wait till you hear the rest of the "Ice"-berg, i.e. Vanilla's forays into gangsta rap, nu-metal, reality TV and more! We'll also tackle the bigger questions of Ice's authenticity, cultural appropriation and whether or not Ice deserves as much hatred as he's gotten over the years.
