e405. Fantasy Box Office Draft 2026

It’s that time again! Every year we have one very special show where all of the hosts get together to reveal the results of last years Fantasy Box Office Game AND to draft for the upcoming year. Last years game was a barn burner that basically came down to the very end where it could…

e404. Stranger Endings: Breaking Down the End of Stranger Things

For some reason Netflix, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the proper way for everyone in the world to spend their winter Holidays of American Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Years was to focus on concluding the — wow… ten year — Stranger Things saga. And somehow, even with all of our various holiday things…

e402. Cheesy Christmas Movies 2025

It’s everyone’s favorite time of year… the time where we celebrate that birth of… Cheesy Christmas movies! I mean, I’m sure there’s probably some other significance to this time of year too, but round these parts, we know that the December Holiday Season is all about the seasonal Christmas movie rom coms. And so, it’s…

e400. 400 Episodes?!?! Holy $#!†!

Wow… somehow we’ve managed to do 400 of these! On today’s very special anniversary episode of VoxPopcast we have the entire regular team of hosts to reminisce about the history of the show and the current state of popular culture and our predictions for where we think pop culture is going to go in the…

e397. All the Frankensteins! (like all the Draculas… but with Frankenstein)

One of pop cultures most enduring properties is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Not only is it often hailed as the first ever science fiction property, it is one of the all-time most adapted characters in film, TV and other media. In fact, Netflix just produced a new version last week. That seemed like a good excuse…

e394. Spirits and Spectacles: The World of Haunted Houses

Happy Halloween! As we move towards the end of Spooky Season this year, we realized that there is an interesting cultural phenomenon that we’ve never even considered on the show before but that is something of a classic pop culture phenomena — The Haunted House. Hannah recently visiting a haunted house for the first time…

e393. Eerie Elders: The Horror of Growing Old

It’s SPOOOOKY SEASON!!! Actually, it has been for a couple weeks and yet we really haven’t gotten into it. But now it’s time to fix that. A year ago we did an episode about “creepy kids” in media and why they are both so unsettling and so fascinating. Well, this year we thought we’d look…

e388. 2025 Summer Catch Up! Was that it?

Well, it’s been a summer… that’s certainly true. And if you live in America, you know there’s been a bunch of… let’s say “news” that happened this week. Obviously we have opinions on it. But honestly, you’re likely getting enough of that. So this week, Mav and Hannah decided to do a light show where…

e384. From Vanderbilt Glam to Oscar’s Shades: The Gilded Age Deep Dive

In 2022, a show premiered on HBO that was perhaps tailor made for us. The Gilded Age was a 1880s period drama from the creators of Downton Abbey with sexual and gender politics, racial dynamics and a treatise on the invention of class dynamics, all thrown together with a collection of Broadway’s finest actors in…

e381. It’s Clobberin’ Time! Fantastic Four’s Impact on the Summer of Superheroes

For the past couple of years, the general sentiment seems to have been that superhero movies are becoming… well… kinda bad. But, as we spoke a couple weeks ago with the new Superman movie, things have been looking up a bit this summer. But something odd has been happening. For some reason, the general vibe…
