The Afternoon Special: Recent Episodes
Bobbi Miller | QCODE
Your friend who knows just a little bit too much about pop culture. Each week, join Bobbi Miller as she takes deep dives into everything in pop culture that you never knew to ask about, but now need the answer to. “I started The Afternoon Special as a series of videos on TikTok to keep me sane in the beginning of the pandemic. Soon, I decided to take my pop culture love to podcasts and The Afternoon Special Podcast was born,” says Bobbi Miller, host and creator of the show, which was chosen as the Apple Podcasts' Spotlight pick for March 2023. Bobbi, who describes herself on the show as “your friend who know just a little bit too much about pop culture” takes her audience on an eclectic deep dive of topics that range from adult animation to vampires in media, and what makes the perfect holiday special. “The main approach I have when deciding topics for the show begins with the question of ‘What’s a pop culture question that you didn’t know to ask, but now you’re dying for the answer to?’ and then the episode is born from there,” she says. Bobbi has great ambitions for the show, but ultimately, she wants to keep it enjoyable for both herself and the audience. “I hope the show will continue to expand into other formats like listen-alongs or live shows,” she says. “No matter what, I just want to make sure the show remains fun. I hope the audience always walks away from each episode either having learned something new or just having had a good time.”
This season has been my favorite thus far and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you listening along. The show will be back in the fall with the same pop culture shenanigans that you know and love. See you soon!

For the entire month of July, we’ve been covering the world of Barbie and arguably one of the most important and most visible pieces in Barbie decorated history is her impeccable style. In her tenure, Barbie has managed to straddle being styled by some of the biggest fashion houses on the planet while also slaying in simple, chic designs. This week, we’re diving into the fashion history of Barbie. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

Barbie. What a contentious doll. To one group of people she is THE representation of female empowerment. A girl boss, if you will. And to others she’s the opposite and ultimately both are true. This week, we’re diving into the good, the bad, and the complicated of Barbie and seeking to dissect our perception of her. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock, you’ll know that one of the year’s most anticipated films, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Issa Rae, and dozens more, releases this month in theatres. And needless to say, the world is tickled pink with excitement. With the excitement of the movie, all of our eyes are on the doll herself, Barbie. Full name Barbara Millicent Roberts. Now if you can tell from the fact that I just casually dropped Barbie’s government name or if you follow me on any social media platform, you know that I’m something of an amateur Barbie expert and this month, I’ll be taking you on a deep dive into the world of Barbie. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

This month, we’re doing a little mini series on our favorite masked web slinger, Spider-Man! However, unlike most months where we start with a history lesson, we’re starting this month with a review. I had the privilege of attending the premiere for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse and I would be remiss if I didn’t kick this series off gushing about one of the most important films released in recent history.

DreamWorks Animation has always been seen as a formidable and entertaining contender to the animated films of Disney. However, while many know the studio for its biggest hits, many don't know its very insane history behind the scenes. This week, we're chronicling the wild ride of the studio that began with the mission of making "animation for adults" to being one of the biggest producers of kid-focused franchises with the unofficial history of DreamWorks Animation. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

Premiering in a rare primetime slot in September of 1992, Batman: The Animated Series quickly cemented itself as one of television's greatest animated programs.

The 90s was a wonderful, strange time for animation. One of the strangest aspect was the trend of animated films retelling historical events and one example of this is Anastasia (1997). The film, often considered to be a Disney Princess film never made by Disney, chose a unique subject in Anastasia Romanov, an alleged sole survivor of The Romanovs. This week, we're taking a look into the film, its reception, and its impact. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

Born from a semi viral tweet about Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, this week's episode is taking a look into the stories behind classic product placement moments in film.

What separates the pop culturally evergreen and the pop culturally forgotten? Does high box office or ratings automatically determine cultural relevance? There are a million and one different metrics for how we determine how impactful a piece of media is and this week, we're unpacking a few of the ways we determine a piece of media pop culture footprint. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

True crime is one of guiltiest pop culture pleasures. From documentaries to fictional series to more podcasts than you can count, we have a morbid curiosity with some of history's most heinous crimes. The upcoming release of Netflix's Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which features re-enactments of the events and court proceedings of the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer has caused social media uproar, with many questioning the ethics of "murder media." This week, we are taking a deep dive into what true crime is, how we began our taboo love affair with it, and what happens when we over consume it. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

A year ago, I made the bold claim that the teen comedy as a genre was on the decline. However, my mind has since changed. Following in the tradition of films like Heathers, Jawbreaker, and Mean Girls, Netflix's latest release "Do Revenge" has since revived a declining genre and reminded audience how the genre can be again. So get in loser, because we're revisiting how the teen comedy came to be, where it went wrong, and where it's heading. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com ~~ Afternoon Special is brought to you by QCODE.

Within pop culture, there are rarely whole years where you can pinpoint a shift in the cultural landscape, but 1999 is undoubtedly one of those years. The new millennium was knocking and that meant a year chock full of groundbreaking new filmmakers, the introduction of prestige TV, an incredibly colorful musical scene, and a pinch of political scandal for good measure. So spike those frosted tips and turn on “My Worst Enemy” by Lit, because this week, we’re taking a look back at the year 1999. ~~ Follow the show on Instagram: @theafternoonspecial Tik Tok: @theafternoonspecial Twitter: @hiimbobbi Email the show at theafternoonspecialtv@gmail.com
