      <description>Why is this audio file so long? The time from the last word of the statement to the last second of the track totals 8 minutes and 46 seconds. 8 minutes and 46 seconds doesn't sound like a long time until you are confronted with just how long it can drag on. 8 minutes and 46 seconds is how long it took to end George Floyd's life [https://www.8m46s.com]. At the Scavengers Network, we support the nationwide protests against police brutality; because Black Lives Matter. It is not enough to simply be “not racist”. You must be anti-racist. This is not a matter of “differing politics” nor is it  something that is up for debate. This is about human and civil rights. We must make Black voices heard. Amplify and listen to Black voices. We have always been committed to using our platform to raise others up, and do what is right. Please, join us.

      <description>Neither of us is normally super excited about deleted scenes, because they’re usually deleted for a reason. But in this case, there’s at least one with some really rather important information that would have been pretty great if they’d left it in the movie, and there are a BUNCH of truly amazing Justin Long moments.

      <description>In the last pre-credits minute, we get a bit of a post-performance epilogue that calls back to the beginning of the movie. James and Erin have different memories about what kind of terrain it takes place on and the credits begin to roll which brings us to the person you've all been waiting to see. Everyone's favorite Unit Production Manager: Victor Ho!!!!!

Next week we're going to have two slightly longer episodes. One will be about the credits performance of "Overprotected" and the outtakes interspersed among it. The other will be about the Deleted Scenes, some of which answer a lot of questions we've posed over the course of this movie! So stay tuned!

      <description>Mimi reads a magazine, and James tells us all about it—it’s got a band on the cover that *isn’t* N*SYNC! Erin gets confused about which hot guy whose name start with “Ty” was in the “Toxic” video, and we try to track down an article from the magazine that Erin decides she really wants to read.

This week is going to get heavy, but today's episode isn't there yet. We have some fun meeting a character we've been talking about from the beginning, talking about how to lie well, and talking about how weird names are. So enjoy! And don't worry. We'll get through this week together

Mimi gets her wish, and the movie basically ignores it. Which is a real shame because Mimi is the whole reason any of them are even THERE.

        <![CDATA[It’s time for some stock footage of LA! A building for a label Britney isn’t on, the Hollywood sign (and all its history, which includes Hugh Hefner, Gene Autry, Andy Williams, and Alice Cooper)…

Mimi gets her wish, and the movie basically ignores it. Which is a real shame because Mimi is the whole reason any of them are even THERE.

      <description>This episode is largely about female rock stars of the mid 90's. What rocker did James think was SO badass in like 95 or 96? How did Erin acquire Jagged Little Pill? Who won the 1997 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and how many Tracys did she beat? Also a little bit about Hollywood (but there will be more next week!!)</description>

      <description>CW for discussion of unplanned pregnancy and the tough decisions that result from that, including abortion and choice.

We break down the possible paths that took Lucy’s mom to motherhood. Erin’s been making one assumption for almost 20 years, but James brings up a very good second option that actually makes more sense, and makes Lucy’s mom a more sympathetic character.

      <description>It’s Tuesday night-slash-the wee hours of Wednesday morning. A 22-year-old man, three young women covered in glitter, and a pile of $1 bills walk into a hotel. No, that’s not a joke, that’s the plot of today’s minute. Well, technically the time in between Monday’s minute and yesterday’s minute, but the plot of today’s minute is “underage drinking” and we had to figure out why these kids were given a room with an unlocked minibar.

      <description>Hey so remember at the beginning of this week when we were like, "Yeah this is going to be a pretty short week, we don't have very many notes" and stuff? Well now that it's Friday, we FINALLY have an episode that is less than 15 minute long lol. We basically touch base on where we're at with the whole "Ben is a serial killer" thing, we make an appearance at "is that guy at the bar actually an alien or just a hyper-intelligent dog?", and swing through "Hot Dorks and Humanized Snobs". Enjoy and have a good weekend! On Monday, it's time to see how much CA$H we made!</description>

      <description>Erin is sucking on a cough drop throughout this episode, sorry if it’s annoying but it’s less annoying than listening to her cough.

Neither of us really knew much about cars at the top of this episode, but James fixed that problem for us. He’s a regular Marisa Tomei, our James. We marvel over the fact that 1973 was 30 years prior to this movie, and almost FIFTY years prior to now; also, that there was ever a time without cell phones.

      <description>Ben and Lucy have a bit of a chat about why he’s headed to LA, while Kit eavesdrops and contemplates her life choices. Mimi, we assume, is asleep, but the filmmakers didn’t think it was important to show us that so for all we know she could be getting ice, hanging out with the hotel clerk watching TV, or maybe she’s taken up roller derby. Who can say.

      <description>Lucy does some VERY quick mental math. Erin takes a little bit longer, uses multiple post-it notes, and lists more than one website to reach ultimately the same conclusion as Lucy does—they can’t afford this road trip. And what do you do when you’re on a trip you can’t afford? You get a hotel room, of course!

We're gonna spoil you a tiny bit on tomorrow's minute by discussing something that occurs in it, but that's okay, because trust us, tomorrow's minute is PLENTY FULL even without our discussion on whether or not Britney has ever been awkward around a boy.

How Lucy needs to connect some dots for the audience vis-à-vis her relationship with "Pop", and then James took a really dumb note that was just dumb. Finally, it is clearly only our second week of recording because we got our sign off wrong. Enjoy!</description>

We meet a LOT of new actors in this minute so buckle up for an IMDB dump (but it doesn’t feel like an info dump, there’s *flavor text* in between IMDB updates). Multiple cast members have been in truly awful horror movies. We possibly put more thought into this minute and what it all means than the actual writer did.

      <description>We prepare you for this new show by doing a number of things: First, a transitional note from James that will not surprise anyone who listened to Newsies Minute. But James trills his "three" words and that MIGHT surprise you. James implies that 1982 is the sequel to 1981. Then, a preview of 2020 and what we're excited about (Spoiler: The Year of Women). Finally a bit of our background on the movie, with a timeline contextualization of Britney (the album), Crossroads, In the Zone, The Famous MTV Video Music Awards show, Britney and Madonna on "Me Against the Music", and Britney's relationship with Justin Timberlake thrown in there in the middle.

This ought to really wet your whistle for the show, which starts next week on Monday!
