It’s a cool September night, in Sydney in the year 2000.Ian Thorpe is just moments away from breaking the 400m freestyle World Record, and while that isn’t what this story is about it is the catalyst that turned one young Tassie woman into a Princess.

Welcome to Lowbrow! One story, two generations, so much WTF.

This episode Holly Wainwright tells us the story of how Princess Mary of Denmark came to be a royal, the media response and the way her fairytale is used to taunt other royal women more than 20 years later.

A Danish Prince Walks Into a Sydney Pub…

For Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, entering the Cancelled courtroom together is just another collaboration to add to their long list of projects, so why not one more?

Before "Bennifer" even existed, they starred in a (very wrong) movie called Gigli (yes we've spoken about it before, yes it deserves another moment in Cancelled courtroom). Skip forward twenty years, they've rekindled their love, married and made a few more films, like This Is Me... Now and The Love Story Never Told. Art. 

Today, we're investigating that time Ben had a simple thirst for water and ended up in a strip club quenching said thirst. Did he take the wrong turn? 

Also, you may have seen the sad Ben phenomenon, but we can't punish him because he doesn't smile much in public, can we? It's time for a risk assessment on their relationship.

This is Bennifer... Now.

Introducing: Things You Didn't Learn In School

In the early 2010’s Gen Z cared about two things A LOT, the movie franchise Twilight, and the fact that it’s stars we’re dating in real life. That was until certain pap photos surfaced breaking the two apart and breaking the hearts of Gen Z’s (and oddly some Gen Xers) everywhere. 

This episode Shannen takes Holly through a cheating scandal so big the former US President weighed in, and Holly surprises everyone with a secret obsession.  

And, we have some sad news... this will be our last ever episode of Lowbrow. We have absolutely love bringing you stories from the pop-culture archive, thank you so much for joining us along the way!
