In 2004, a little DVD that was packed into a relatively new line of dolls would change the world forever. Ok, not really. But the punk rock songs it featured are pretty solid. On this month's episode, Kevin and Briana take a break from the mainline Barbie movies to dive into Jammin' in Jamaica, the first of several movies from the short lived MyScene doll line from Mattel.
