In this episode of Media Musings with Melanie, I breakdown the 80’s cult classic, “Teen Witch”, which brought us the iconic “Top That” rap battle. This coming-of-age film, released in 1989 stars Robyn Lively, Mandy Ingber, Dan Gauthier and Zelda Rubinstein.

Now, get ready to dive into this funky, rad and spellbinding masterpiece!

This summer, France will be hosting the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding this momentous event, mainly the treatment of French-Malian singer, Aya Nakamura, after French media outlets started reporting on a rumour that French President, Emmanuel Macron, had asked her to perform a song at the opening ceremony.

Joining me to discuss it all is Jannie 'Reva' Pierre-Emile, Founder of Reva Music!

In the very first episode of Media Musings with Melanie, I am joined by tv and film expert, ⁠Milt Moise, PhD⁠, to discuss two cinematic releases that focused on the Lambada dance craze, which took over Hollywood in the late 80s and early 90s. What makes these two movies, Lambada and The Forbidden Dance, so "interesting" is the fact that they were released on the same day (March 16, 1990) by rivalling cousins!

Media Musings with Melanie is a podcast, where I, along with some special guests, dive into and dissect some of the more, dare I say, "questionable" TV and film content that the media has to offer.
