It’s a new episode of Live and Active Pop Culture, and Dane and Pete are very excited for Saundra Kerry to be back. First, they get to the bottom of where in the world she was. They also welcome a new “friend” who no one can stand, Will Fortner, to the basement. To be honest, it’s unclear if he actually ever left.  Some of the topics discussed this week are Bruce Jenner’s big interview (head’s up, male pronouns are still used in this interview as Bruce has made clear that is what he wants for the time being), and the Kylie Jenner lip challenge, much to Pete Chaunce’s chagrin. They also get into clickbait articles, and embarrassing songs in their iTunes libraries. This episode also features a new segment called “ The Crew Tries Something New!” as well as all of the normal segments. Stay cool folks- see you again in two weeks!

Episode 8- Dog Wedding Coming Soon     

It’s an idea filled episode of Live and Active Pop Culture. We’ve got Chris in the house this week when we dig into a couple of yet unscheduled but definitely happening upcoming LAPC events, does anybody have access to any dogs/an auditorium to seat 100 people? We also talk about lip-sync battle, whether Anne Hathaway is relevant again, Kim K’s selfie book, and the anthology series as a new model for TV. Also, why are Batman and Superman fighting? As usual, we play a game of Derek doesn’t know the words, coolest guy at the water cooler and WHAT’S IN THE HAT?! (we still don’t know…)

It's just Dane and Chaunce in the basement this week with very special guest, Megan! We discuss reality shows that are still decent, and whether or not Megan's personal trainer is making the most of his stint on The Real World. We also get to the bottom of whether Derek know the words to Twinkle Twinkle and Mary Had a Little Lamb. We also get into The Jinx, which none of us have watched, but all want to, and Megan's guilty pleasure- Myrtle Manor (which we're obviously all gonna start watching!) and we come up with the idea for the first annual "Chaunceys".

If you haven’t watched Teenwitch before listening, you should! It’s on Netflix!

It’s a hair-heavy week on LAPC, which also means it’s been an incredibly slow pop culture news week, so we turn to the 1989 CLASSIC Teenwitch for our entertainment. Our friend Lisa, who is an avid Teenwitch fan and resident expert to discuss what exactly this movie was about, joins us. While we’re at it, we try to dissect and explain to Derek what a cult classic is (we still aren’t entirely sure). Finally Derek shows his patriotism in another round of “Derek Doesn’t Know the Words!” and we try to keep you up to date at the water cooler with The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (seriously, it’s so good.) Hopefully next time there will be some more pop culture news to talk about, until then, enjoy the show and stay tubular!

It is a sad day in the Live and Active Pop Culture basement; Dane has lost his Oscar bet with longtime rival Caitlin. In this episode we wrap up the Oscars and give our thoughts on what amounted to a pretty boring ceremony. After that, we discuss ladies taking the helm of comedy TV shows and how happy we are about that, why we had much stranger expectations for the Lady Gaga performance, how the runaway llamas totally got their thunder stolen and whether that damn dress was BLUE AND BLACK (which it obviously was). After that we let Pete Chaunce how to be the coolest guy at the water cooler and how he steals all of his favorite things from Dane. Important note: next week we are going to be discussing the seminal classic Teen Witch in our first segment, so make sure to check that out on Netflix before our next episode!

It’s the Oscar special! We are joined by local Oscar expert, Caitlin, and discuss all of the so-called best movies of the year. We make our informed (and in Derek’s case, uninformed) predictions for this year’s Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Director.  Additionally, we talk surpise nominations and snubs, and talk about the fact that this year we’re more interested in seeing the presenters on the red carpet than the nominees. We finish out by talking about things that we are loving this week:

Welcome back everybody- take yourself back in time for one more episode, and then we will be back on track starting in two weeks with our very special academy awards prediction episode. This episode we are joined by everyone in America’s best friend, Andy! In this episode we talk about Pete Chaunce’s real name, his favorite president named Harold and how he is FINALLY listening to Serial, and whether he thinks Adnan did it. We also cover Scandal, as well as her real life inspiration and how she is handling the Sony hacks (spoiler: Pete thinks North Korea is going to take him down, so he probably won’t be seeing The Interview). Other random topics we discuss are the OWN network, how Pete Chaunce might read Harry Potter and what aquarium our guest thinks is the best around.
