Pop Capsule Podcast

The world is on fire and we're all over the place this week as we answer the big questions. Who married their first cousin? Why did the Dave the Barbarian theme song go so hard? What are the best songs from Hamilton? Who needs a drink? All of these questions, very few answers, but lots of laughs ahead in this week's episode.

This week is all about people to the rescue! We've got 2005's Coach Carter and Supernanny coming to save the day. We also talk about Schitt's Creek's debut (simply the best) and the 2015 Critic's Choice Awards. Plus strange commercials and a test to see what movies Kevin Costner has been in?
