Well, it’s come to this. After months of bringing up One Direction in every single episode, Amanda & Amber finally dive into the boy band that defined their generation. First, they lay the groundwork of 2011-2014 culture and discuss neurodivergence in fangirling. Then, they retell their 1D origin stories and talk what it was like to be there. Also discussed: 5 Seconds of Summer, Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Teen Wolf, San Diego Comic-Con.
