We’re kicking off our brand-new Beyoncé in the Movies Mini-Series with a groovy start: Austin Powers in Goldmember! Phil and Emily are joined by writer, comedian, and Beyoncé superfan Akilah Hughes to break down Queen Bey’s feature film debut as the iconic Foxxy Cleopatra.

From Mike Myers’ chaotic brand of early-2000s comedy to Beyoncé’s effortless star power, we dive into how Goldmember captured a cultural moment—and how Beyoncé completely stole the show. We also unpack the movie’s outrageous gags, surprisingly stacked cast, and whether the Austin Powers franchise still holds up today (spoiler: it’s complicated).

Is Goldmember the ultimate time capsule of early-2000s pop culture? And how did it hint at Beyoncé’s massive future in film and music? Tune in for a hilarious and nostalgic conversation to find out!
