Episode 018 - Can You Hear My Footprints? YouTube ArtJamon is back from his international trip to discuss all things Michael Jackson with Q! On Episode 018 of The MJCast, the boys celebrate Q’s birthday before talking about the possibility of Sony and The Estate parting ways over the Sony/ATV music publishing catalogue, two new Michael Jackson books including  MJ: The Genius of Michael Jackson by Steve Knopper and Making Michael by Mike Smallcombe and Tavis Smiley’s 2016 book on Michael Jackson’s death being adapted into a screenplay for television. They then discuss the televised concert of Unity: The Latin Tribute to Michael Jackson, the Michael Jackson Estate’s announcement around the official 2016 MJ calendar, more MJ and Freddie Mercury duets coming in the Fall of 2015 and the song Bad being featured in the trailer for the upcoming Angry Birds movie. Following this, Q and Jamon delve into the topics of the 2015 remix of Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney’s Say Say Say and its accompanying video, their thoughts on the new Janet Jackson album Unbreakable and IPSO’s recent rejection of Taj Jackson’s complaint against the Daily Mirror (with a little help from UK journalist Charles Thomson).
