051: He’s a Lover, Not a Fighter

On Episode 051 of The MJCast, Q and Jamon are flying solo. The fellas begin the show by discussing follow-up around Sky Arts’ decision to pull the broadcast of their Urban Myths ‘MJ’ episode. After this, news galore! Jamon and Q then talk about Janet Jackson’s baby boy, The Jackson’s 50th Anniversary world tour, a wrap up of Brad Sundberg’s 2017 Aussie In The Studio With MJ tour, Ne-Yo’s tribute to Michael Jackson and some new Nick* remixes. This is followed by discussion around Taika Watiti’s new animated film about Bubbles, Navi as Michael Jackson in Lifetime’s new biopic and all kinds of news around Paris, Prince, Marlon, 3T and Tito. With a brief segue into a legal update from Charles Thomson, the boys then wrap the show with discussion around Neverland’s prospective sale, Thriller and Bad’s recertification and the possibility of a new Jacksons TV show. We hope you enjoy this episode of the internet’s premiere podcast on all things Michael Jackson and the Jackson family.

    Another great podcast chaps. Thanks to Charles for the much needed updates on all of these court cases. There was also one with Katherine Jackson over a stake of the ownership in the Michael Jackson Company, which is risky due to the clause in the Will where it says something about family members contesting the Will, may find themselves excluded as a beneficiary. I thought this is what Charles was leading up to, but I hope Katherine manages to get through her other issue regardless. Neverland we miss you! Lady GAGA:Captain EO mashup?! PITCH IT!

    Hi guys, I REALLY love your podcast! I discovered it by running into Moonwalk Talks; it is refreshing to listen to people talk about Jackson without lying on him, but also being critical (not being a passive listener/fan/admirer). I can’t believe Charles Thomson isn’t big on “Black Or White”, though. Well, no one’s perfect.☺ I wanted to tell you all to check out GMJHD on YouTube; he has remixes to die for—-keep up the great work!
