Breaking Down (Almost) Every Pop Culture Reference in ‘Girls5Eva’
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/NetflixFor the pop culture obsessive, Girls5Eva is nothing short of a gold mine. Practically every other line contains a thrilling little nod to a moment in pop culture history, whether it be a has-been pop star, a modern-day icon of the music industry, an HBO prestige drama or a hyper-niche meme.Filled with wacky, but actually good, fake pop songs (that are often earworms and sometimes tearjerkers) and quickfire comedy that recalls its natural predecessor 30 Rock, Meredith Scardino’s musical comedy is currently enjoying its resuscitation in the form of a third season and full relaunch on Netflix after being canceled by Peacock in 2022. The show follows a group of ex-girl group stars, Dawn (Sara Bareilles), Wickie (Renée Elise Goldsberry), Gloria (Paula Pell), and Summer (Busy Phillips), who reunite after 20 years to rekindle their group.Girls5Eva makes no secret that it’s parodying the wild and hyper-specific landscape of the ’90s pop music industry, frequently cutting to clips of the girls on MTV, in conversation with Carson Daly, performing in increasingly ludicrous, sexist music videos, giving all-access tours of their bus, and even taking part in tasteless charity Christmas pop songs. For anyone who grew up watching the Spice Girls, NSYNC, S Club 7, and the Backstreet Boys, it’s all instantly recognizable stuff.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Abbott Defiant After SCOTUS Temporarily Blocks Texas Immigration Law
Go Nakamura/ReutersTexas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has remained defiant amid a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Monday that extended an administrative stay blocking a controversial immigration law from taking effect in the state amid a legal showdown over the border crisis. The one-page order handed down by the conservative Justice Samuel Alito was issued several minutes after a deadline he set a week ago, eliciting a few moments of confusion as to whether the freeze had lapsed. The latest stay did not include a new deadline, effectively suspending the law indefinitely as the high court weighs its next steps.Texas’ Senate Bill 4, signed into law by Abbott in December, empowers state and local law enforcement to arrest people on suspicion of illegally crossing the southern border. It was originally set to go into effect earlier this month, but has faced an uphill battle after the Justice Department stepped in, arguing it is “flatly inconsistent” with Supreme Court precedent.Read more at The Daily Beast.
