But back in 2014, it wasn't the fashion that dominated the headlines. Instead, everyone was talking about music's power couple, Beyonce and Jay Z, as well as Bey's younger sister Solange, and some leaked footage of her physically fighting her brother-in-law. This episode, Em explains to Holly exactly what happened in that elevator. One story, two generations, so much WTF. CONTACT US Feedback? We’re listening!

Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women 25 years apart. In 2012, Taylor Swift released a song called All Too Well that didn't make too much of a splash at the time. Fast forward 9 years to when she re-released the song, but added a few extra (very telling) verses, and the whole world went crazy trying to decipher who she was singing about. As a Swiftie, Em explains to Holly how all the clues in All Too Well point to one of the most famous actors in the world, and why Taylor couldn't get over a 3 month relationship from almost 10 years ago.

Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women- 25 years apart. In 2004, a teen movie came out that would set the bar for all other teen movies to follow. Mean Girls was a cultural reset, and introduced us to some of the most fetch quotes we'd ever heard. Meanwhile, an 8 year old Emily was also watching Mean Girls with the rest of the world, and immediately decided that Regina George was the coolest person she'd ever seen.  In this episode of Lowbrow, Emily explains to Holly why this movie changed her life and the impact it had on the cultural lexicon forever. PLUS, they play a game to determine which character they most relate to, and we can confirm, one of them is a Regina. One story, two generations, so much WTF. CONTACT US Feedback? We’re listening!

Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women- 25 years apart. It's Holly's turn to instil some pop culture lore onto Em, and of course she's starting with a royal scandal. Before Prince Harry was a beloved activist living in Hollywood, he was just a cheeky chap looking to blow off some steam in Las Vegas between military tours. Cut to a game of strip billiards and a leaked photo, and the world never looked at Prince Harry the same way again. PLUS Holly explains what an ugly piece of jewellery, a fedora and a Michael Jackson impression has to do with it all. One story, two generations, so much WTF. CONTACT US Feedback? We’re listening!

Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women- 25 years apart. In this inaugural episode, Em is here to explain to Holly a moment that rocked her world; when Zac Efron dropped a condom on the red carpet of a kid's movie premiere. Unsurprisingly, Holly doesn't remember this life-changing pop culture moment. So, Em breaks it down moment by moment so that Holly can use it as "common ground" for the next time she's talking to someone younger than her.  PLUS we get to the bottom of who Zac was intending on sleeping with that evening; Taylor Swift, Betty White or potentially even Danny DeVito.
