Trisha PaytasHOST
She knew who I was.
Trisha PaytasHOST
And I was like, "I loved you in The Idol." And she's a queen.
Trisha PaytasHOST
She looks like Barbie.
Trisha PaytasHOST
She had just gone blonde, and I was like, "Oh my God, you look so good." She was so fierce.
Sam TaggartHOST
...
Sam TaggartHOST
but then of course, I went and immediately just watched The Idol all the way through.
George CiverisHOST
Yes.
George CiverisHOST
Well-
Sam TaggartHOST
Because I was like, "Wait, I need-"
George CiverisHOST
The Idol hits different in rural Vermont.
Sam TaggartHOST
Literally.
George CiverisHOST
Okay, next question.
Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
I couldn't watch it.
Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
The Idol or something?
Brett DasovicHOST
The Idol, yeah.
Brett DasovicHOST
So she didn't even get into good Hollywood, and that was, you know, that's the, one of those ones where they're like, "That show looks exploitative and creepy." So she went all in.
Amanda (Wicked Virtue)GUEST
Yeah.
Analytic DreamzHOST
So a shout-out to her for having a phenomenal 2026.
Analytic DreamzHOST
And of course, at number six, I've talked about Jennie from Blackpink a plethora of times, giving her all type of kudos in the world, talking about how I think she is the reason for The Idol, the HBO show from the weekend, uh, I, I think she is the reason why it won Best Choreography at the Emmys, because as, as far as the Jennie choreography scenes in The Idol, I mean, that show didn't have a bunch, you know, it didn't have a lot going for it.
DruskiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You guys.
Analytic DreamzHOST
But when it comes to the choreography, it was definitely on point.
1 HR 48 MINS LATER
Analytic DreamzHOST
Now I'm starting to look at why is that.
Analytic DreamzHOST
Is it unfair training regimens, or is it fairly putting them through the proper training to put out such a immaculate choreography? One, one of the many examples that I give as far as K-pop having immaculate choreography is Jennie from Blackpink.
Analytic DreamzHOST
I talk about Jennie from Blackpink being on The Weekend Show, the artist of the weekend show, The Idol.
Analytic DreamzHOST
Was it called The Idol? I think it was, on HBO.
Analytic DreamzHOST
[audience cheering] So when it comes to my coverage of Blackpink, safe to say not only are we about to get into the latest member that just dropped a single, but I've covered the entire group as far as Blackpink, and I've covered the solo artist specifically, dating all the way back to June 23rd, 2023, when I got into The Weeknd and Jennie from Blackpink's track, One of the Girls.
Analytic DreamzHOST
Was, uh, One of the Girls, which I still say to this day is one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard for a TV show.
Analytic DreamzHOST
[audience cheering] But there's a slight caveat.
Analytic DreamzHOST
As when it comes to the TV show...
Analytic DreamzHOST
No, I mean, I gotta keep it 8 more than 92, because when it comes to the TV show, safe to say it's not that high quality, I kid you not.
Analytic DreamzHOST
You guys.
Analytic DreamzHOST
See, that's the problem.
Analytic DreamzHOST
Now, obviously, I'm talking about, uh, plot perspective, 'cause as far as the cinematography, the choreography specifically, coming from Jennie, I think she did some heavy lifting when it came to the choreography to the point where that actual show was highlighted for best choreography in a TV show.
Shelby NovakHOST
He had that other show with Lily Rose Depp.
Shelby NovakHOST
The Idol? The Idol.
Shelby NovakHOST
So she wasn't like a teenager, but she was still supposed to be like a young woman.
Shelby NovakHOST
She is a young woman.

Jenn AdamsHOST
So good.
Jenn AdamsHOST
So, yeah, I am a fan of that season of Euphoria.
Jenn AdamsHOST
I did not watch The Idol.
Jenn AdamsHOST
Don't plan to.
Naomi CutlerHOST
Mm-hmm.
Kay RussantHOST
This came out in June 2022 and was originally meant to be from the album track The Idol Volume 1, which was later scrapped as the soundtrack to the television show The Idol was also scrapped.
Kay RussantHOST
It was known as one of the worst television shows ever made.
Naomi CutlerHOST
Yikes.
Kay RussantHOST
Yeah.
Kay RussantHOST
And I just think that this is part of the downfall of the weekend.
Kay RussantHOST
I feel like we haven't recently spoken or heard from him in a little while because the idol was so badly, badly received.
Kay RussantHOST
I feel like that was such a strike to his character and to his, like, kudos.
Chris FafaliosHOST
It is one of the worst shows ever.
Chris FafaliosHOST
It's up there with The Idol as one of the worst shows ever, I will say.
Matt KellyHOST
It's pretty bad.
Matt KellyHOST
Yeah.
Analytic DreamzHOST
Now, of course, Jenny from Blackpink is back at it again.
Analytic DreamzHOST
As you already know, over here at Notorious Mass Effect, we put immense respect on not only Blackpink's name, but of course, Jennie specifically, as whenever the HBO show The Idol came out with The Weeknd, which is, you know what I mean? Don't ask me about the quality level of the TV show.
Analytic DreamzHOST
But when it came to the soundtrack, The Idol from The Weeknd is literally, aside from the Black Panther soundtrack, is one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard for a film.
Analytic DreamzHOST
As what The Weeknd did with the Idol soundtrack was a mammoth of an accomplishment.
Analytic DreamzHOST
And when you look at the TV show quality, it wasn't that good, but guess what? We're not going to harp on it too much because Jenny was a part of that show and she helped out from a choreography aspect to the point where The HBO show The Idol actually won Best Choreography.
Analytic DreamzHOST
And I believe that was in large part to Jennie from Blackpink being a part of the choreography in certain moments in that TV show.
Analytic DreamzHOST
Basically showcasing that when it comes to the K-pop culture, the emphasis put on top tier and very choreographed.
5 MINS LATER
Analytic DreamzHOST
Like the comparison obviously is drastic.
NickHOST
Mm-hmm
JoshHOST
... and people just getting naked or something like "The Idol" where people just taking it, like, just where it's like this doesn't, this doesn't really, this is just soft-core porn.
JoshHOST
That's what you're just doing.
JoshHOST
Like, this, there's, there's no real art to this.
