Episode 47: Mardi Gras - a podcast by JG Media

Mardis Gras is known throughout the world for being a time where messy drunk bitches congregate on the streets of New Orleans to commit all their debauchery before having to give it up for lent. Where do Jem and the Holograms, the squarest of the squares, fit into all of this? Literally nowhere.

That doesn’t stop the writers from taking us to the Mardi Gras, where Jem and co have been invited to perform wearing some jewels cause Shana vaguely looks like the woman they once belonged to. This woman, Lily Larose, was a black Bourbon Street singer in the 19th century (and OG members of the Black Lady Clone Crew) who had a torrid love affair with a SLAVER named Jean Lafitte. Yes, because a romance between a black woman and a slave trader at the height of slavery in America is the exact kind of love story we should be celebrating.

That aside, the highlight of the episode was a squad of goons called the “Zomboys” who are led by a dude named “Neko.” Apart from being a proud necrophiliac, he also has a hot (and CONSENSUAL) sub-dom thing going on with Pizzazz. We were necro-feeling it (I’m sorry).

Consent (or lack there us) seems to be one of the themes of “Mardi Gras”, what with Shana struggling to fight off the aggressive advances of some pirate (??) dude half the time. We also get a questionable spectral make out sesh between the ghosts of Lily and Jean, who again, was a slave trader!

Hopefully Shana and Lily didn’t forget to stuff their bras with gris-gris bags to bring black magic upon their aggressors…
