Ep. 16 Queen: Greatest Hits

Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About Music

“Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” It’s a royal affair in Episode 16 as Kiara is reunited with third-time guest Natalie to discuss the 1981 Greatest Hits compilation from the one and only, Queen. This record is jam-packed with “Queen”-tessential anthems and sad jams, and over the course of a few Bohemian Cocktails, we break it down from top to (fat) bottom. In this episode, we revisit what made us fall in love with Queen in the first place (thank you, Ella Enchanted and Knight’s Tale!) and how the tracks quickly became some of our karaoke go-to’s. But don’t stop us now, because Kiara and Nat also have their own rhapsody of tangents to explore, including Natalie’s beef with Rami Malek, the art of doing chores in full drag, and the debate over “space noises”. In a world of transience, few people can be immortalized, and we determine those people are in fact Freddie Mercury, the Rainbow Sponge lady, and Paul Rudd.
