Pop Break Today

The nominees are in! Pop Break's Film Editor Marisa Carpico and Senior Editor Matt Taylor are here to talk about the 2020 Oscar Nominations. They break down all the major categories, they look at the egregious snubs (nothing for J. Lo in Hustlers, really?), and give their early predictions on the big show.

Monocle Society founder Kyle Kinkade sat with Pop Break's Comic Book Editor Rachel Freeman, staff writer Bryant Donato, and Doug Vehovec from Nerdarchy at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia to discuss the new RPG Weave.

Happy 20202! The Way Too Early Oscar Predictions podcast returns with tidings of Christmas cinema as film editor Marisa Carpico and Senior Editor Matt Taylor dive into the cavalcade of films that came out during the Holiday Season like: Little Women, CATS, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Knives Out, Uncut Gems and more.

Pop Break's editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin and senior editor Michael Dworkis look back at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and their first year in existence -- from the first press conference to their final weekly televised show of the year.

Mike and Bill talk about the first 12 episodes of AEW Dynamite, their favorite AEW matches, their least favorite AEW moments, the much talked about AEW Women's Division, the breakout stars of the company, the booking of Kenny Omega, who they'd (realistically) like to see in AEW, and what they hope for in 2020 for the company.

Please Note: Due to the holidays there's no official intro, and Bill does apologize for coughing on the pod, he was pretty sick post-Christmas.

Things are about to get stupid!

Senior Writer Aaron Sarnecky and Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin sit down to talk about Dumb and Dumber, which marks its 25th anniversary this week. The 1994 hit comedy stars Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Lauren Holly, Mike Starr, Karen Duffy, Charles Rocket, and Teri Garr. It was directed by Peter Farrelly, who also co-wrote the film with his brother Bobby Farrelly and Bennett Yellin.

Aaron and Bill discuss when they each first saw the film, the performances, their favorite gags, and Carrey and Daniels' careers. Aaron and Bill also reflect on how the movie is a product of its time and where Dumb and Dumber ranks among other Jim Carrey comedies.

The Way Too Early Oscar Predictions podcast is back with a look at some potential heavyweight Oscar contenders. Film Editor Marisa Carpico and TV Editor Matt Taylor discuss the Oscar potential for: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, Shia LeBeouf's Honeyboy, the indie melodrama Waves, the Christian Bale/Matt Damon vehicle Ford v Ferrari, and they end the pod with a deep dive about Dr. Sleep and why didn't anyone watch this rather good film.

The Sarnecky boys are back!

Join Aaron and Josh as they talk about National Treasure starring Nicolas Cage, which hit theaters November 19, 2004.

The brothers discuss Cage's performance and the performances of his co-stars, the film's use of history, and the movie's inclusion of various U.S. cities. Other topics include the film's absence on Disney+ and whether it's harmless fun or a gateway to conspiracy theories.

It's one of the most talked about yearly subjects in the music world -- the Rock + Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

Pop Break's editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, music editor Kat Manos, and very special guest Mike Joseph (of Radio Free Brooklyn's Jheri Curl Chronicles) discuss the chances the nominees for the Class of 202 have to being inducted this spring.

The nominees are: Pat Benatar, Nine Inch Nails, Whitney Houston, MC5, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Dave Matthews Band, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Notorious B.I.G., Motorhead, Judas Priest, T. Rex, Todd Rundgren, and Thin Lizzy.
