SIDE PROJECT: JEM and the Holograms - The Bands Break up (Season 2, Episode 5)

Touch your dangly earlobes and boot up Synergy to travel across town with us! On this edition of SIDE PROJECT, we are talking uncut JEMS. Every once in a blue moon, we talk about other tv shows or movies that have bands as the central premise. We’ll be getting back to California Dreams right quick but this show NEEDS our attention first. That’s right… the infamously gay coded episode about our favorite intergalactic (jury is still out on that) all girl band, Jem and the Holograms! Tensions in the band hit a high point and the band splinters. Meanwhile, over at an equally large building, a similar rift is happening to our villainess band, the Misfits. Y’all… we get to see an actual side project on SIDE PROJECT. This is BIG!

Joining us is Midwest Jem Expert, Davidian Compound. He has full sleeve tattoos dedicated to this Jemiverse and he’s not afraid to wield those biceps of knowledge. Him and Zac dress up (see on our Patreon page!) as we dissect how realistic this episode is for bands. Spoiler Alert: It’s pretty accurate, surprisingly. This show is bonkers and we loved every minute of it. The songs are astonishingly catchy. Expect to see more of these bad girls on our page! See you at back at Sharkey’s next week!
