Until recently, there’s always been a tradition on Anglophone airwaves of a big Saturday show. Ratings and the gradual fragmentation of the audience have largely put that to rest, but not so much in the Americas, where Sabado Gigante has reigned supreme for decades.

In this edition of The Affair, Hikaru, Brett, and special guest Fernando, have a homage to the show that put Don Francisco on the map, whilst also introducing the JOY world to the heat of the Sun of Mexico himself, Luis Miguel.

That said, this edition is actually dedicated to Sebastian Ligarde, a Mexican actor who came out of the closet earlier this month.

Next week: The UK girl group challenge. Can Hikaru & Brett manage to get through an entire show dedicated to UK girl groups of the 90s without mentioning (Redacted) or (Redcated)? And did we mention that the entire playlist is nothing but (Redacted) and (Redacted)
