Uncultured Pop Culture

This week, we found something we love that the other person is going to hate, and boy, did we do a good job. We start with an Australian rap album that Brandon likes, and we follow it up with a dystopian British black comedy. Will we get lower scores than 100 gecs and Sexy Beast?

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.

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.

This week, we travel back in time to when Italy was in black and white to learn important life lessons, like 1) Don't steal a bike, and 2) Don't be a member of the working class.
