The Middle of Culture
The Middle of Culture is what happens when two siblings with too many opinions and not enough chill dive headfirst into movies, music, video games, and whatever else is rotting our brains this week. It’s part pop culture podcast, part sibling rivalry, and fully unfiltered. Expect passionate arguments, niche references, unsolicited rankings, and the occasional moment of unexpected insight. If you’ve ever wanted to eavesdrop on the kind of argument you’d hear at the family dinner table—only with better audio—this is your show.

The Middle of Culture #13 - A Bride’s Story 26.06.2022 59:23
Eden loves it, Peter had never even heard of it. Given Eden's love of the book, the siblings decided to read (or re-read) A Bride's Story. Come with us as we discuss this modern work of art and dive into our thoughts and emotions that this book took us on. But here is the most important part: this is a truly wonderful piece of art that everyone deserves to experience.
The Middle of Culture #12 - X2 X-Men United 13.06.2022 1:02:59
Some have suggested X2 is the best of the X-Men movies. Braeden and Peter decide to discuss that and put that to the test, watching this hot on the heels of revisiting the original X-Men. And we both agree, higher highs, but trying to cram too much into its run time. Stop by as we discuss this next installment of The Summer of X.
The Middle of Culture #11 - Shall Machines Divide the Earth 29.05.2022 55:05
Far flung humanity, a “winner-takes-all” battle with humans and AI teamed up, yet orchestrated by other AI, and lesbian sex all combine to make for a very interesting novella from Thai author Benjanun Sriduangkaew. Braeden is a fan, Peter was unfamiliar until now, and together they discuss this third installment in The Machine Mandate series.
The Middle of Culture #10 - X-MEN (2000) 15.05.2022 1:20:04
Comic book movies have come a long way in the last few decades. Before the turn of the century, they were often not very good, nor taken seriously. There were exceptions, of course. But X-Men is often included in that group of comic book movies that made great strides to legitimize the genre. Does it hold up though? We decide to jump back in time and see if it does.
The Middle of Culture #9 - MCU Bracketology 01.05.2022 1:42:04
