Welcome to Lowbrow! Your cheat-sheet to big pop-culture moments from the perspective of two women 25 years apart.

To Gen Z, Winona Ryder is the amazing Joyce Byers from Stranger Things. But to Holly's generation, she was a style icon, talented actor, it-girl, and subject of a furious tabloid flurry in 2001 (Em was 5 years old at this stage).

This episode, Holly explains what went down to make Winona decide to drop out of the limelight, and the problem with how the world treated her for her mistake.

One story, two generations, so much WTF.

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!

This week we dive into a moment in time where the world stood still, the death of Princess Diana. 

Holly takes Shannen through how the news unfolded here in Australia, how the world reacted and what impact her passing has had on society since.
