Ep 189: "Janet Jackson Videos" Revisited

Rhythm Nation and The Pleasure Principle were 80's music videos that caught our attention with iconic dance moves, female independence, and the power of Janet (Miss Jackson, if you're nasty). The videos would go on to win oodles of awards and inspire the likes of J Lo, Britney Spears and Mya. But now, decades later, are the vids still able to put a spring in our middle-aged step? Are the songs more memorable than the videos? And why, oh why, isn't Janet smiling? The Old Roommates dust off their boomboxes and revisit these MTV mainstays.
