Ever wonder how Y2K pop culture shaped the way we see beauty, identity, and representation today? Jackie and Danielle from No More Late Fees sit down with author, musician, and cultural commentator Kaila Yu to dive into her powerful memoir Fetishize—a candid look at how media, race, and womanhood intertwined in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
In this episode, the trio gets nostalgic (and a little spicy) as they unpack:
• How Memoirs of a Geisha and the early 2000s beauty ideals shaped an entire generation’s self-image
• Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku era and the blurred line between homage and appropriation
• Kaila’s behind-the-scenes experience in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift and the hidden history of Asian representation in Hollywood
• The toxic glamour of Y2K pop culture and the complicated love story between feminism and fame
• Nostalgic shoutouts to Charlie's Angels, Britney Spears, and the best (and worst) fashion trends we still secretly love
It’s a funny, insightful, and refreshingly honest conversation that celebrates nostalgia while challenging the narratives that defined it.

Sometimes the best nights at Blockbuster weren’t about the movies you rented — they were about the debates, sing-alongs, and trivia battles that broke out in the aisles. This week, Jackie and Danielle are joined by their longtime pal Nick for a laugh-out-loud bonus episode of No More Late Fees, packed with pop culture chaos, movie nostalgia, and 2000s energy.
From guessing “that guy from that thing” to picking the ultimate Almost Famous-style sing-along moments, the trio dives into everything that makes movie fandom fun.

Along the way, they explore:
• The wildest actor descriptions from Almost Famous and Ken’s unforgettable guesses
• Nostalgic movie moments that deserve their own sing-alongs (Mr. Holland’s Opus, That Thing You Do, School of Rock)
• Why Jason Lee deserves his own cinematic universe
• Behind-the-scenes facts, music-fueled memories, and the perfect “Employee Picks” from Nick’s Blockbuster brain
• Pop culture rabbit holes — from Dexter: Resurrection to BBC’s Sherlock — that prove no fandom topic is off-limits

• Movie trivia, fandom debates, and hilarious behind-the-scenes insights.

This week on No More Late Fees, Jackie and Danielle crash the party with a rewatch of the 2005 comedy hit Wedding Crashers. The film took audiences (and the box office) by surprise, cementing itself as one of the biggest comedy successes of the 2000s. We’re revisiting Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn’s unforgettable bromance, Isla Fisher’s scene-stealing breakout role, and asking the big question: does the movie still hold up nearly 20 years later?
Of course, no rewatch would be complete without behind-the-scenes fun facts, production tidbits, and plenty of nostalgia for the days when raunchy comedies ruled the theaters. Whether you’re here for the meatloaf, the mayhem, or just a trip down memory lane, this episode is a must-listen for comedy fans and movie buffs alike.

This week, the No More Late Fees gals are taking it to the clouds—literally—with a deep dive into Sky High, the 2005 Disney superhero flick that blended high school angst with spandex and laser vision. Jackie and Danielle relive the charm of Will Stronghold's awkward ascent from powerless freshman to full-on hero, fangirl hard over Warren Peace (because duh), and marvel at the casting perfection that gave us Kurt Russell, Kelly Preston, and Linda Carter in one glorious package. If you’ve ever wondered what Hogwarts would look like with capes and cafeteria brawls, this is your cinematic comfort food.
But that’s not all! The duo spill all the juicy behind-the-scenes tea—from the sequel that never was to casting “what-ifs” that will make your head spin (Alec Baldwin? Danny Trejo?!). There's debate over superhero genetics, impassioned rants about Layla’s questionable choices, and a proper send-up to the real MVP: Ron Wilson, Bus Driver. Add in some throwback trivia, fandom hot takes, and a nostalgic love letter to Disney's mid-2000s magic, and you’ve got an episode that’s more fun than a power placement day gone rogue. Buckle up, listeners—this one’s sky high in laughs and geeky glee.
·Season 5 Episode 16

From music video magic to Holiday in the Sun mayhem, director Steve Purcell helped shape the visuals that raised a generation—and now he’s spilling all the behind-the-scenes secrets with Jackie and Danielle!
This week on No More Late Fees, the gals sit down with Steve Purcell—the creative genius behind some of the most iconic moments in ‘90s and early 2000s pop culture. If you ever wore butterfly clips, quoted Olsen twin movies like scripture, or screamed “That’s what time it is!” at random moments, this one’s for you.
In this episode:
How Steve went from editing Prince videos to directing When in Rome
The truth about filming Holiday in the Sun in Atlantis (yes, it was free)
Why you can’t stream Olsen twin movies right now—and when that might change
That actual Megan Fox moment you forgot came from Steve’s mind
What Mary-Kate and Ashley were really like on set (spoiler: no diva behavior)
Behind-the-scenes tea from Alanis Unplugged and touring with Paul McCartney
Trivia, fandom hot takes, and character breakdowns you didn’t know you needed
You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, and you’ll probably text your childhood bestie to plan an MK&A movie night.

Olsen twin chaos, Aussie slang quizzes, & a trip down rom-com memory lane—this bonus episode has it all with guests Mo & Christina from Movies That Raised Us!
In this nostalgic crossover event, Danielle and Jackie are joined by Mo and Christina for a delightfully chaotic bonus episode filled with giggles, game show energy, and plenty of heartfelt movie talk. From trading Blockbuster stories and rom-com rewatch rituals to debating the ultimate twin movie tropes, it’s like a cinematic sleepover where nobody wants to hit pause. The crew gets deep on how Gen Z is missing out on tween movie magic and why millennial cringe is a badge of honor.
But wait—there’s more! The group puts their slang savvy to the test with a raucous round of Australian trivia pulled straight from an Olsen twins website (yes, that’s real), and everyone shares their dream 2000s-style straight-to-DVD movie plots. Spy antics? Overnight mall lock-ins? Unlikely cookout culture clashes? It’s all here, wrapped up with their honorary Blockbuster employee picks—from Xenon to Moulin Rouge. It’s one part DCOM nostalgia, one part bestie energy, and all parts hilarious.
