The nice thing about having your own podcast is that sometimes you can just turn a casual conversation into content that you discuss with the whole wide world. That’s what happened for Mav this weekend when he walked in while his wife, returning guest Stephanie Siler, was watching a psychology YouTube podcast discussing the concept…

e373. Collecting Value. Understanding Valuation in Popular Culture
Do you have a collection of anything? Comics? Toys? Baseball cards? Records? Whatever? Ok, if you have such a collection, do you know what it’s worth. That is to say if it was destroyed in a fire or some other disaster would you know what to value it at for the insurance claim? Well, Wayne…
e372. MCU 2025: Exploring the Current Marvel Cinematic Landscape
When we started this podcast we were very cautious that we didn’t want it to be too much about the MCU, even though we loved it and it was, at that time, obviously the biggest thing in pop culture.. There are plenty of other shows that do that and we wanted VoxPopcast to be something…
e371. Retro Revivals and Cinematic Sequels: Summer 2025 Preview

e370. Free Comic Book Day and Geek Third Spaces
Guess what?! We’re finally back from our conference and so the series of PCA specials is over.

e369. PCA 2025: The After Show
We often say that at its essence, VoxPopcast is people hanging out and drinking at the bar after a conference. That’s not entirely true, but it’s not NOT true either. But have you ever wondered what it actually is like when we just do that. Well, that’s what we have for you today. It’s our…
e368. PCA 2025: The Presentations!
If you’ve been listening to the show for the past few weeks then you know that this month has been our special series of PCA episodes, and this might very well be the episode that you’ve been waiting for. We all went the Popular Culture Association International Conference in New Orleans, but how did the…
e366. What Ever Happened to the Teen Sex Farce?
Did you grow up watching movies like Porky’s? American Pie? Eurotrip? What about the Breakfast Club or Easy A? They sure don’t make them like they used to. Only not just in an old man kind of way. They really don’t make movies like that much anymore, do they? On this episode, Mav welcomes returning…
e365. Works in Progress: PCA2025
This is the 365th show. This means you can now listen to VoxPopcast every day for a year and not have any repeats. That should be exciting in and of itself. But how are we celebrating? Well, if you’ve been paying attention to the show lately, you know we are coming up on PCA. Our…
Call For Comments: Retro Technology Worship
June 10, 2025
From Monica: Probably surprising no one who has listened to our many episodes about super spies or franchises with nine-plus installments, I love Mission Impossible movies. Tom Cruise can build new elaborate ways to not kill himself and I’ll eat it up every time. But perhaps because he is so insistent on doing things “for…
