Well here we are at the end of the year 2025; a year that somehow seemingly lasted 147 months. And yet somehow it was really only 12 months and that means we had only 52 weeks to analyze everything that happened in popular culture. Obviously we didn’t get to it all; we never do. And…

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…
e401. F-M-K!
It’s finals week. Well, ok, finals are over, so that means it’s finals GRADING week, the worst week of the academic semester for anyone who teaches for a living. It can really burn you out. So, for this week we decided to do something of a pallet cleanser episode. Longtime listeners might know that VoxPopcast…
e398. Of Course We’re Talking About Wicked For Good
There’s no sense burying the lead here. If you listen to our show at all, you know that Hannah is a Wicked fanatic. We talked about it last year (exactly 52 shows ago) when the first Wicked film came out and of course since the sequel, Wicked For Good premiered this weekend… well, it was…

In fact, Netflix just produced a new version last week. That seemed like a good excuse…
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…
e385. Is Flash Gordon a Bad Movie?
It’s been a while since we did a “is this a bad movie” episode. But the best way of investigating a “is this a bad movie” is to pick one where one of the hosts is honestly surprised that there are people who don’t like the film. That’s what we have today. One of Mav’s…
e383. Revisiting Milkshake Ducks
Way back on episode 47, we talked about Milkshake Ducks. That is to say, the concept of what to do when you suddenly discover that the creator of a beloved media product turns out to be a very problematic individual. Even back then we acknowledged that things were much more complicated than the world liked…
