Now, remember, this is not, who do you prefer? But I am going to go directly to Stephen, our music guy, to kick us off with NSYNC versus Backstreet Boys. HOLMES: And I will reveal that at a later time. WELDON: I bet I can guess which one, too. I will say, off the top, I have only seen one of these bands live. Now, this is, of course, your boy-band matchup between the Justin Timberlake of it all and the not Justin Timberlake of it all. So we are going to start with NSYNC versus Backstreet Boys. So each of us, your four hosts, will try to guess your responses to each of these matchups, and we will get the right answers from our sharp-witted producers, and we will see who got the most right. And in the manner of, say, "Family Feud" or "Card Sharks," we're going to play a game where our objective is to guess what you said when we asked you. So we asked you, our listeners, to cast your votes on some of pop culture's really, truly important historic standoffs. But, like a lot of other people, we've been highly amused by the idea that they are mortal enemies - the pink fashion icon versus one of the most important scientists of all time, the Greta Gerwig confection versus the Christopher Nolan epic. HOLMES: We should start by saying that we will be covering both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer." This is not our coverage of those two movies. HOLMES: And also here, of course, is Aisha Harris. Here with me and Stephen today are our fellow POP CULTURE HAPPY HOUR hosts, Glen Weldon. And in this episode of NPR's POP CULTURE HAPPY HOUR, we're competing to find out who knows our listeners best. And who is the best Chris? I'm Stephen Thompson. We've got NSYNC versus the Backstreet Boys. In honor of the upcoming clash between same-day releases of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," we asked our listeners to weigh in on some of pop culture's most contentious matchups.
