We were FINALLY able to record with all 3 of us together in person, so we figured what better thing to do than to play another Boy Band Board Game!
Today we played *NSYNC's Backstage Pass game.

Play along with us and see if you get the answers! Who do you think will win?
Did you have this game?
What other Boy Band Board Games should we play in the future?

Today we review 2gether's second album "2ge+her Again".
For those that don't know, 2gether was a fake Boy Band on MTV. It started off as a mockumentary movie and then it spun off into a TV series.
These are the songs from the TV show. some are lovely, normal, Boy Band songs. Some of them...you really need to listen to the lyrics. 🤣
In honour of the 25th Anniversary of the Backstreet Boys "Backstreet's Back" album, we decided to review it this week.

After seeing tons of ads for Big Time Rush's reunion tour, we thought we'd discuss BTR. We were not super familiar with them so we started with a band history.
We did a Twitter poll asking what everyone's fave BTR album was and "Elevate" won by a landslide. So we also listened and reviewed it.
Are you going to any of their shows this summer?
Today we do a recap of Pixar's new movie, "Turning Red". It's a coming of age movie, set in Toronto, about a 13 year old girl named Mei and her 3 friends, who are obsessed with the Boy Band 4*TOWN and want to see their concert.

We discuss Nick Carter's virtual cooking show/sing along "Cook 4 the Cure", raising money for Cure 4 the Kids Foundation. It's an organization that raised money for families of children with cancer.

If you would like to make a donation: https://cure4thekids.org/ways-to-help/donations/ If you want to watch the live: https://fb.watch/9_WOSAnaLl/
On today's episode, we were VERY excited to review "A Very Boy Band Holiday".
However, since the ABC Buffalo Affiliate hates Boy Bands and loves Football, it was preempted and then not shown.
To add further salt to the wound, it's available on Hulu. Which is only available in the US. And apparently they know that Canadians are trying to circumvent the system and they block VPNs. Still trying to find it for a future episode but that doesn't help us today.
So we decided to PIVOT and we're bringing you a Boy Band Face Off Battle... Christmas edition!
Bringing out our handy random picking tools, we've uploaded our fave Boy Banders and some Christmas scenarios and voting to see which Boy Bander we'd rather hang out with. Do you agree with our choices?
