Inside Pop

At the beginning of the year we made bold resolutions we hoped would dial our pop culture fabulousness up to 11!! Now, at the halfway point of 2016, we are holding ourselves accountable to see if we stuck to our promises and kept our cultural commitments. How do we fare? Let's just say at one point the podcast resembles Cersei Lanister's Walk of Atonement. Plus the Big Sell returns!

This week, in honor of Pride month, we welcome our friend, Kevyn Fairchild of the upcoming podcast, The Queer Dilemma, to countdown our top three LGBT TV characters of all time! Characters from The Wire, True Blood, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Grey's Anatomy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and many more) made our short lists. Listen now to hear us celebrate some of the most entertaining, powerful, funny and inspirational characters that have given us pop culture joy over the years. This podcast was recorded before the horrific mass murder in Orlando. The time before that nightmarish event now feels like a slightly more innocent time - both for the LGBT community - and for all Americans. We post this episode in celebration of diversity and creativity and most of all, love.

Hot off the press we're recapping this week's jaw dropping Game of Thrones episode - The Broken Man. Wondering why you know who is still alive? Trying to figure out what Queen Marjorie has up her sleeve? And distraught over another life or death situation for a Stark kid? Have no fear we'll share our theories and make sense of it all for you! Plus - the Big Sell is back!

Hot off the press we're recapping this week's jaw dropping Game of Thrones episode, The Broken Man. Wondering why You Know Who is still alive?

On this week's installment of Inside Pop, we dissect the Billboard Music Awards with a special edition of everyone's favorite segment filled with moments of celebration and shade- Slay or Nay! Britney, Madonna, P!nk, Celine and more! We also chat about the boss move that Robin Wright just pulled and of course, The Big Sell!

Pick this podcast. Choose this podcast. LOVE this podcast! This week we dance it out and dissect all the reasons why the Shonda Rhimes drama, Grey's Anatomy, is ABC's Number one show after 12 seasons! Plus, we reveal major movie casting news --- find out why we think the actor picked to play Han Solo is a perfect choice; and hear why we're already prepared to give the Black Panther cast the SAG Award for best ensemble. We'll also fill you in on more than a dozen TV shows the networks just cancelled (be prepared to shed one and a half tears). And of course, the Big Sell!

Inside Pop reviews Captain America: Civil War and does their best to discuss the epic battle between Captain America and Iron Man without giving anything away! (Except for their strong feelings about the film overall- hint hint, it's good) Then, Amita takes a moment to recap the surprising series finale of The Good Wife and we discuss new music from Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake! Plus, another round of The Big Sell!

The struggle is real with this week's episode! We tackle the DVR challenge that is Sunday night with our recaps of Game of Thrones (SPOILER ALERT), Fear the Walking Dead and Penny Dreadful. And we discover that, like fine wine and Pharrell's face, Queen Bey's Lemonade only improves with age! Then, Sean takes a turn at giving Amita an Inside Pop Quiz and Prince protege band, The Family, gets the inaugural Big Sell rating treatment.

This week we rejoice over Beyonce's visual album masterpiece - "Lemonade;" Amita reviews a buzz worthy movie from the Tribeca Film Festival; and she tries to stump Sean in a new segment- The Inside Pop Quiz! Plus, a purple hued Big Sell with multiple mentions of our favorite Minneapolis native- Prince.

Bonus Pop: Prince Tribute Pop culture lost a legend this week. Upon hearing of Prince's death we immediately recorded a Bonus Pop dedicated to the one and only Prince Rogers Nelson. Listen now and celebrate this iconic artist with us. RIP Prince.
