Megan and Kim wind up their guest-co-hosting gigs with a bumper crop of pop culture topics. What Now takes us through The Keeper, “Bettys,” acceptable crush objects Simon de la Brosse and Ethan Hawke, and Unacceptable crush object Leaf Phoenix. We attempt to understand the plot of Nightmare On Elm Street 5 and the appeal of Queen Of Hearts. We celebrate Mike’s extremely correct five-star review of the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique, and why the youth still know Tears For Fears. Then it’s on to another successful One To Watch pick, and a feature all about every cool late ’80s girl’s object of disdain: New Kids On The Block. Join us as we go through the issue Step By Step!
