Episode Synopsis

Merry Christmas, you lovely lot. It's been a long time coming, and what better way for MSBWT to return than by celebrating 'The greatest night in pop' together.
This season, J and I are going to be discussing (barely) some Netflix documentaries based around (you guessed it) music. Which, by the way, still sounds better with two. 'The Greatest Night In Pop' explores how the single 'We Are The World' USA for Africa was recorded.
A chaotic ensemble of America's 80's icons assemble for one night only, and it is just as mental and hilarity filled as you could imagine. Featuring: Learning Swahili for no reason, Shiny jacketed Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie presenter and winner of every award at the AMA's, Bruce Springsteen desperate to get that first flight back to New Jersey as he quietly dies of the flu, Cyndi Lauper delivering obnoxious vocals and obnoxious points of view, Diana Ross never wanting the night to end, Bob Geldof telling everyone off and our favourite most memeable moment of the lot: Bob Dylan having absolutely no idea what's going on for the whole recording and barely being present.
So, come back into our little, crazy world and rejoice because in '25 we, MSBWT, are planning to make the world a better place. Just J and me. (And sometimes John) More on that in episode 2, coming soon.
