All Pop, No Culture

Fallout and X-Men 97 are the two biggest titles this week, but the gang also covers Ripley, One Love, Invincible, No Hard Feelings, and even Shen Yun! So Andrew and Lauren are back this week. You'd think the episode would be 5 hours long with all the catching up, but luckily Kevin forgot that he watched Argylle so that kept him to a minimum and Andrew and Lauren were incredibly concise! I could gi...

Kevin talks Lisa Frankenstein, Skull and Bones, and The 1976 version of The Omen.  Honestly, there isn't much more to say than that! Andrew and Lauren are out this week so Kevin got lucky when Lisa Frankenstein dropped on Peacock. It's new enough to be relevant AND it was something he was hoping to see. As it so often goes when he doesn't have supervision, Kevin also talks about video games. This...

This week it's just Lauren and Kevin again and they cover Steve (martin), Mike Birbiglia, Deal or No Deal Island, Appropriate, and The Marsh King's Daughter. Kevin kicks it off with a pair of documentaries about comedians, STEVE! (martin) - a documentary in 2 pieces, and Mike Birbiglia: Good One. They are both great and still very different, so a fantastic insight into the mind of some great comed...

Its a quick one with 3 Body Problem, Cabrini, Nyad, and Apples Never Fall. It's just Lauren and Kevin this week and they make swift work of their respective topics. Lauren kicks it off with the biopic, Nyad, about Diana Nyad, the 60 year old woman who swam from Cuba to Florida - a distance of well over 100 miles. It's a fascinating documentary about a woman's battle against the odds and the triump...

It's just Damsel, The Holdovers, and a quick brush up on Final Fantasy this week. Why is it such a short episode? Well, both Andrew and Lauren had last second things pop up so Kevin trudged the road alone. A.I. free this time, too! It's brief, but (hopefully) informative. To make this explanation short, Damsel is OK but not great and it won't break you if you watch it. The Holdovers is fantastic a...

Its a full episode this week, covering the fantastic Dune 2, American Fiction, An Enemy of the People, and Shogun. You may look at the length of the episode and wonder how thats all we covered, but I assure you, we hit Dune HARD before digging into all of the other great content. Yes there are some tangents in there, but they are actually pretty on point! Both Sara and Lauren are back this week. S...

This week, the guys chat about Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, James Gunn's Superman, Spaceman, (So many Men!), Shogun, Final fantasy VII Rebirth, and Beau is Afraid. It's just Kevin and Andrew and they quickly jump into the tragic end of the DCEU, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. It's just... not good. But it does lead them into a good chat about Superman and where Gunn may take him, so it's not a tot...

It's another jam packed week! we have Avatar the Last Airbender, The Bad Batch, Poor Things, Fellow Travelers, Fleabag, Thanksgiving, Connecting Worlds, Alice in Borderland, and, of course, LOST. Kevin jumps in quickly with a review for the kick off of the new live action Netflix series, Avatar the Last Airbender. He follows that up with discussion of the first few episodes of The Bad Batch, seaso...

This week, Kevin and Andrew cover Madame Web, The Greatest Night in Pop, and LOST Season 5, with Players and The Last Voyage of the Demeter peppered in there for some extra seasoning. The episode leads off with Kevin breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly details of Madame Web. Is it as bad as everyone is saying? Maybe. Are there some redeeming parts? Also maybe. Just have a watch and see....

Remember that one time someone left out a petri dish and it got all moldy and they ended up discovering penicillin? This episode is like that, but instead Kevin turned a great idea into moldy garbage... But, in an effort at full disclosure, he explains why it's garbage and why he did what he did. Bad Kevin... Anyways, the idea behind this episode is a Valentines Day/RomCom recommendation episode....

Lauren is back this week to help Kevin and Andrew discuss, Scrambled, & Juliet, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Freelance, and Grounded II: The Making of The Last of Us Part II. The the guys are left to discuss LOST season 4!! Lauren kicks off the show talking about the new film, Scrambled. You will quickly notice that this is probably not something that Andrew or Kevin would have had on their radar, so Laure...

This week, Andrew and Kevin cover Saltburn, Monarch, Fool Me Once, and also gets back into LOST. But they won't do (some of) it alone! They are joined this week by a long time friend on Andrew's, Lauren. She's very sharp and is up on all of her pop culture goodness! After a nice "getting to know you" session, Lauren and Kevin discuss the psychological thriller, Saltburn. It's an absolutely crazy f...

This week Kevin goes over American Nightmare on Netflix, Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+, Death and Other Details on Hulu, Self Reliance (also on Hulu), and quickly talks about The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. The episode starts of with a bit of a history lesson with American Nightmare.  It's a 3 part documentary about the infamous "Gone Girl" kidnapping in 2015 in California. Kevin do...

It's time to talk about Mean Girls, Echo, Lessons in Chemistry, Saltburn, Slow Horses, and superhero burnout. But Kevin can't do it alone so he's joined by Jen this week and our special "High School Experience" correspondent, Sydney.  The show starts right away with Jen and Sydney talking about the new Mean Girls Musical Movie. It's a great review and Sydney brings some fantastic insight, especial...

There's a lot coming in 2024 and to list it all in the description would totally defeat the point of the episode! Needless to say, there is a boatload of content coming this year and Kevin, left all by his lonesome, tells you what he's most interested in for this year. In a roundabout way, everyone but Pete shares their lists, too! Because he's only human, Kevin can't cover everything, so there is...

This week it's just Andrew and Kevin and they cover Rebel Moon, The Curse, Poker Face, Genie, and The Best Christmas Ever! They manage to keep it relatively tight in spite of the amount of content and a good portion of it is dedicated to Rebel Moon. The show kicks off with Andrew jumping right into it. He liked the movie more than the critics did (not hard to do, really...) and, as the discussion...

On the docket this week is Leave the World Behind, Godzilla Minus One, Wonka, How To Be A Mob Boss, a Christmas episode preview, and more! It's an all new configuration this week, too, as Salony is back on the show and Jen finally decided to show up, too. Alongside Kevin and Andrew, it makes for a very classy show. Until they run away, one by one, leaving the guys to their usual mischief. The reas...

It's a quick one this week since Kevin is all alone and there is no one to tell him his ideas are foolish. The episode kicks off with the first ever full on sales pitch, with Kevin having fallen in love with his Backbone for iPhone (you can buy one here, even if you use Android: https://www.playbackbone.com ) Of course he bought it so he could spend more time gaming so that leads into his quick re...

This week is a hearty one. The gang covers The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Blue Beetle, Blue Eye Samurai, Monarch Legacy of Monsters, and more! It kicks off with Andrew and Jen talking about the newest Hunger Games flick, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It's really interesting to hear how this prequel story ties and just how much they enjoyed it. Kevin hasn't seen it yet, but his interest...

This week the guys cover so many endings! The end of Attack on Titan, Loki, Season 3 of The Boys, and Season 1 of Gen V. They also cover The Marvels and Invincible and, of course, some bonus content because they love their tangents. They kick off with something beginning rather than ending, though, in The Marvels, just released in the theaters this last weekend. While The film struggled at this we...

We have an emotional roller coaster this week with a ton of stuff, including more of Loki, Five Nights at Freddy's, and the passing of Matthew Perry. The guys also mix in some Gen V and Old Dads talk as well. Despite security precautions, Pete is back this week and jumps right in, practically begging for a FNAF review. Kevin obliges and discusses a bit of the lore as well as who this film is reall...

Andrew is back this week and the guys keep the content tighter this time with Loki, Ahsoka, The Fall of the House of Usher,  Hippest Trip - The Soul Train Musical, Pearl, The Thing (2011), and John Carpenter's Suburban Screams. The show kicks off with the guys talking about the finale of the first (and last?) season of Ahsoka. There's a lot of great stuff to cover including the future of the very...

It's all about Totally Killer, One Piece, and a whole kitchen sink of horror and suspense films. Why? Because Andrew is out again and if you leave him for another week, Kevin will have way too much to talk about!! The episode kicks off with Kevin discussing the new Netflix show, One Piece. It's based on an insanely long running anime that he's never seen, but that doesn't stop him from loving the...

This week kicks off with the latest episode of Ahsoka, then jumps into TMNT Mutant Mayhem, and then heads into No One WIll Save You before finishing off with some solid tangent talk! Episode 6 of Ahsoka is a BANGER and Kevin and Andrew dive in pretty hard. Obviously there is love for the episode overall, but there is a lot of conversation around where the show is going and what it all means, inclu...

In a very special extra episode this week, Andrew and Kevin collaborate with our friend Jax over at Ravens & Writing Desks to watch Skinamarink! We've never done a full collaboration before so we thought it would be an excellent chance to give it a go. Jax was kind enough to run the show and this video is also posted over on her channel, so if you found us from her page, THANK YOU!!!  If you enjoy...
