Woot woot! On today's all-new episode of pcmc, host, Mike Bongiorno, is joined once again by Janine Gagliari. Today's topic is "Our Favorite Nudity in Pop Culture." Not necessarily the sexiest nudity in pop culture. Although there are some HOT picks here! It's a conversation about the best use of nudity; the sexiest, funniest, scariest, and most interesting use of (all-gender) nudity in pop culture. This isn't one to listen to while driving the kids to school! If you like hearing Mike and Janine talk about stuff, then check back on the feed for past episodes.

Welcome! On today's all-new episode of pcmc, host, Mike Bongiorno, is joined once again by Bill Gagliardi. Mike and Bill are discussing Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992), a film that isn't about wax, time, or being lost. It's the superior sequel to the mostly forgotten horror/comedy Waxwork (1988). The film is about two young people who go on an adventure that takes them through some of the biggest movies in pop culture, but in non-copyright-infringing ways. Do you like Aliens (1986)? How about a worse version of it? It's a fun, weird, and oddly successful post-modern romp through pop culture. Don't worry, you don't need to have seen either Waxwork movie to enjoy this podcast.

"When people don't want a circus, the world just don't make any sense." On today's all-new episode of pcmc, host, Mike Bongiorno, is joined by Bill Gagliardi. Today Mike and Bill are discussing the oft-maligned 1988 movie Big Top Pee-wee. Yes, that's right. Pcmc is covering the "bad" Pee-wee movie. But is it really that bad??? Mike and Bill argue that the film has a lot of good stuff in it that's brought down by some questionable narrative choices. If you like this episode, subscribe for more weirdness every week!

Freeze scum! On today's all-new episode of pcmc, host, Mike Bongiorno, is joined once again by friend of the pod, Peter Marsh. Today Mike and Pete are discussing the 1987 dystopian classic RoboCop. A movie that's as funny as it is exciting, and as smart as it is dumb. The guys love this movie and gush about all their favorite scenes and characters. The guys also compare RoboCop to Superman (2025), which is in some ways the polar opposite approach to superhero storytelling.

Sleep now! On today's all-new episode of pcmc, host, Mike Bongiorno, is joined once again by friend of the pod, Peter Marsh. Mike and Pete sat down to discuss the spooky and fun cult classic Dark City (1998). Dark City is a late 90s mind-bendy scifi about false realities. It is very much a cousin to The Matrix and eXistenZ. Like the film itself, this episode of pcmc gets deep and philosophical. If you like this episode, check out episode "387: The Crow (1994)", where Mike and Bill discuss another dark film by the same director as Dark City.
