Lemme Fix It!

This week we're reviewing one of the best movie sequels of all time, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.

This week we’re gonna dig into the film's history and then pitch our dream cast for the still yet to be released Sister Act 3.---Let's stay in touch!Email us lemmefixitpod@gmail.comFollow us on instagram | http://instagram.com/fixitpodFranchesca Ramsey | http://instagram.com/chescaleigh De'lon Grant | http://instagram.com/thedelondotcomPlease consider rating us on your favorite podcast app!

This week we're reviewing ultra wide legs jeans that were all the rage in the 90's: JNCOs. Beloved by skaters, surfers and ravers, JNCOs were very wide, very cool and very much counter culture.

So we're diving into JNCO's history and then as usual we each pitch how we'd fix the brand for today.---Let's stay in touch!Email us lemmefixitpod@gmail.comFollow us on instagram | http://instagram.com/fixitpodFranchesca Ramsey | http://instagram.com/chescaleigh De'lon Grant | http://instagram.com/thedelondotcomPlease consider rating us on your favorite podcast app!
