Episode 10: "Adventure in China"
Welcome to China where the government may be authoritarian but they also have a hard on for Jem and the Holograms. Why? Maybe because Jem is the epitome of western opulence and vanity?
Probably not… but still, in the Jem-verse, China adores glam rock bands. Which is a far more fun version of reality anyway!
As you can guess, Jem and the Holograms handles China’s culture and people with all of the nuance and careful complexity of a slinky. By which we mean they throw China off the top of a stairwell to see what happens.
What a wonderful summary of this subtly racist romp through China! And, as always, the Jem Girls are here to talk about it… because no one else will.
