This week, we are joined by special guest Dante, who is here to spread positivity and love through the most Canadian movie we've watched. And for good measure, he also brings an album that makes David have a realization: maybe there's more to Indie music than a 3.5/5.

Have you ever seen a pairing that makes this much sense? The funniest rapper with some incredibly fast flows, paired with an old comedy that's known for people talking fast. It sounded better in theory, but don't let that stop you from experiencing this one-of-a-kind event that only the brightest minds here at Uncultured Pop Culture could come up with. Will David finally like Trap music?!...

The prophecy of the longest episode has long been foretold, but today it becomes a reality. This week, we are joined by Oscar Vernon Jr. to talk about two very *cinematic* pieces of media that he loves. What will we have to say about music made by a French man and a movie by a French-Canadian? And will we correctly pronounce any of their names?

Join us this week as we uncover what is really up with Adam Levine and his (sometimes) four other band members. Does Maroon 5 have what it takes to make us love their album, or will we agree with the general public? And over on the movie side, we have a '90s comedy classic. Will it age well or will it fall victim to being a comedy and a film from the 20th century? Music: Overexposed (2012) by...

Join us as we take a journey out west and explore two brand new genres. We cover our first Western movie and our first Country(?) album, and who knows if either of those labels actually fit.

It's Episode 26! In other words, Season One is halfway done, and we thought what better way to celebrate than to do each other's jobs. This week we share two works that we remember from our childhood, except David chose the album and Brandon chose the movie. Will we like what the other has to offer, or does one of us hate Adam Sandler? (Also, HERE is the video David mentioned about Gabriel...
