Today's episode is about "WHAM!" (Chris Smith, 2023), a hot new Netflix doc about the massively successful George Michael/Andrew Ridgeley collab.
Our Very Special Guest is Candice Renee from Treble Media! Our podcast is brought to you by Treble Media. And Candice was our guest way back in 2021 for our episode about the documentary "Hype!"! She only talks about rock docs with exclamation points!
WHAM! is actually a very sweet movie about two best friends who supported each other through an unbelievable journey. The movie features the voices of both Andrew Ridgeley and the late George Michael sharing their stories of how they met as kids, how George was influenced by Andrew, and Andrew's perspective on watching his childhood friend eclipse him in artistic ambition and commercial appeal. And of course the movie has loads of great music and extremely entertaining fashion and hair choices.
Plus: was George Michael the Steely Dan of 80's pop?
