Listeners, we're here to make you happy with another episode about the blockbuster 2006 musical-movie "Dreamgirls"! Now that we've covered the background of the movie (and Alex got his power back on!), we're going to go all-in on this epic af plot, full of iconic cultural resets. Let's get into in the drama!

Show Notes:
- Meet the Supremes!
- Listen to probably Florence Ballard's best B-side solo, which is very Etta James meets Martha Vandella
- The real-life Lorrell Mary Wilson talks out about Flo and her problems that led to alcoholism and eventually her death.
- And here she talks about how she was snubbed for the 2000 reunion tour. "Diane...is Diane, that's something," omg.
- On a different note: Here's more information on the five-day Detroit Riots of 1967.
- Michael Jackson performed "Billie Jean" and debuted the moonwalk — and the iconic white glove — at Motown's 25th anniversary TV special in 1983. It was a true cultural reset.
- Jennifer Hudson talks on Oprah about how she got the role and gets an apology from Simon Cowell for being shady, plus Anika talks about her drama!
- And last but NOT LEAST: Both Jennifers Holliday and Hudson take the stage together for an iconic powerhouse "And I Am Telling You" to destroy everyone ever.
