Blockbuster Culture, Jessica Mauboy and Fringe

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

CULTURE:

How does a movie, a song or TV show rise above the rest and make its mark on our culture? What is it about some arts and entertainment that makes them so iconic to the point where you don't have to consume it to know what it's about? Tonight Jade and Dave will discuss some of the world's biggest movies and shows - and what makes them tick with the masses.

MUSIC:

Dave checks out the eagerly anticipated sophomore album by Jessica Mauboy: Get Em Girls. After slaying the competition with her platinum-selling debut album, J Mally heads over to the States to craft an album worthy of Sasha Fierce's weave and unitards. Tune in to preview several tracks on Dave's album in the blend treatment.

TV:

Jade gets geeky this week for the American sci-fi TV show Fringe and we don't doubt that there'll be some kind of ill-fated comparison to her beloved X Files series. You've been warned. As if the geek chic wasn't quite enough with the sci-fi theme, Fringe also has a comic book offshoot.

GRAB OUR PODCASTS

Best of The Decade: Online, Hair and Albums (Part 1)

Tonight on Diff'rent Strokes, Jade and Dave reminisces on the decade that is the noughties...

HAIR:

When we look back on hairstyles of the 80s, we think big, greasy and tons of hair spray... now what will we say when we look back on the noughties? Dave takes us through this decade's most memorable dos, from the boy band frost tips to the Posh bob...

ONLINE:

If there's one message Jade got this decade - it's "geeks rule"! Hear our Diff'rent Strokes duo talk about when geek became chic and how inventions like the iPod revolutionised the way we consume music. Jade and Dave looks back on the decade that ushered in the digital music era and talk about the rise of citizen journalism.

MUSIC:

Tonight on part one of Diff'rent Strokes' Best of The Decade, Dave shares his Top 10 Albums of The Decade. Tune in to hear Dave wax lyrical about the albums that have been significant to him - even if some of them weren't exactly top of the pops. PS - he is threatening at least one solo Spice Girl album in the countdown! You've been warned.

Tune in next week to hear Jade's albums of the decade and our best TV of the decade segment with special guest, John Richards.
