Fatman Scoop, the voice that lit up our 2000s playlists and parties, has sadly passed away.

Isaac Freeman III, better known by his stage name Fatman Scoop, died after collapsing on stage at a show in Connecticut, aged 53.

Probably best known for featuring on Missy Elliott’s Lose Control, her words on his passing are spot on:

“Fatman Scoop VOICE & energy have contributed to MANY songs that made the people feel HAPPY & want to dance for over 2 decades. Your IMPACT is HUGE & will be NEVER be forgotten..”

Oh Christina, you are sweeter than a short stack Chocolate Jubilee with house made hot chocolate fudge at The Pancake Parlour (the one that used to be under the Civic bus interchange).

Each week we’re serving up the buttery nostalgia with a side of syrupy sass. Love for you to join us.

And if you hate it, blame Christina.

Lovely.

💛🚴‍♂️ This week on T minus 20, we offer you a yellow bracelet and a whole lot of controversy. Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong bracelets were the hottest accessory, sported by celebs from Eva Mendes to Tom Hanks, but beneath the yellow silicone lay a storm of doping allegations. We dive into the French exposé “LA Confidentiel” and Armstrong’s fiery denials as he pedalled his way to a record sixth Tour de France win.

🔫🕵️‍♂️ Jason Bourne is back and more badass than ever. Matt Damon reprises his role as the amnesiac assassin, dodging bullets and unraveling conspiracies. Relive and reminisce about the sequel that had audiences on the edge of their seats.

🍔😂 Grab your munchies and join Harold and Kumar on their epic quest for the perfect burger in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.” Kal Penn and John Cho take us on a hilarious ride filled with absurd adventures, including a wild cameo by Neil Patrick Harris. We’ll chat about how this stoner comedy became a cult classic and why it still makes us laugh out loud.

📺💰 Trevor Butler snags the biggest cash prize in Aussie TV history, winning Aussie Big Brother. We take a look back at the 2004 season highlights, the iconic housemates and *that* Merlin eviction.

21/07/2024

🎬 We dive into the glitz and chaos of Hollywood with the premiere of Entourage. The series that gave us a backstage pass to fame, fortune and the wild ride in between!

🏆 We chat the 12th ESPY Awards - the big winners on the day plus deets on where they are now.

🎶 The 4th-generation iPod landed and users were clicking with joy. With its sleek click wheel and massive storage, it revolutionised how we listened to music on the go.

🤖 I, Robot is a hit at the box office and perhaps just a little too close to home through today’s AI lens…

“If you consider ‘difficult’ being a strong woman who sticks up for herself, yeah, I admit to it”.

Shannen Doherty has died after battling cancer for 9 years.

From her iconic role as Brenda in Beverly Hills 90210, to Prue in the cult classic Charmed, she showed us what true strength looks like both on and off the screen.

Seth Binzer, aka Shifty Shellshock has died.

RIP Sunday Movie Night 🍿

Remember those cosy nights wedged into the couch with the fam at the mercy of the free-to-air programming gods?

This week on T Minus 20, we mourn the end of Sunday Night at the Movies.

No more fighting over the remote. No more rushing to p*e during the ad breaks. No more questionable B-grade flicks (looking at you, Short Circuit).

Who needs streaming services when you’ve got a couple of BASF E-180s with sticky tape over the hole and an itchy record button finger?

Please Stephanie, no disassemble 🤖

🌈 Remember when Playschool got real about what families look like? This week in 2004, Playschool aired a segment featuring a child with two mums as part of a series representing diverse families. It was a simple, everyday activity of going to a theme park, but it sparked more debate than dinner at the in-law’s. On this week’s ep we unpack the controversy, the conversations and what this meant for diversity in the media. #PlayschoolProgress #DiversityOnDisplay #NostalgicTV #TMinus20Rewind #Early2000sTV #FamilyDiversity #InclusiveProgramming #ChildhoodNostalgia #TwoMomsTale #ThrowbackTelevision #RedefiningFamilies #NostalgiaTrip #InclusiveChildhood #TMinus20 #Rewind20Years #TMinus20MemoryLane #ProgressivePlayschool
