Pop Culture Roundup

Welcome back to Pop Culture Roundup! Join your new host, Jonah Park and special guest star/co-creator of the podcast, Andrew Kahnke as they discuss whether or not feeding into fan service is a good idea or if it ultimately leads to even more dissatisfaction.

This week we go over some new trailers for Shang-Chi and The Suicide Squad, briefly talk about the second wave of Star Wars: The High Republic novels, go over some details for the Directors Cuts of Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima, and we also go over some potential (non-spoiler) leaks for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Finally we give our in depth review of Black Widow. As always this is broken into a spoiler and non-spoiler section.

This week is a very short episode. We realize we had an unintentionally long break for about a month, so we decided to make this quick episode that would clear out the backlog of news as we get ready for our episode on Black Widow which will be coming out soon.

This week we talk about new cast members for John Wick 4, the Shazam! 2 teaser, some newly released stills for the upcoming Borderlands movie, some Avatar 2 concept art, Indiana Jones 5 news, a fun Easter Egg in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Quiet Place part 3 news (and a very brief review of Part 2), the recently announced delay of the Prince of Persia remaster, and rumors that CDPR has started working on their next AAA game. Additionally this week we are talking about theme park rides based off of movies (and vice versa).

This week we talk about various trailers for The Jungle Cruise, FarCry 6, and Dying Light 2, as well as the recent announcement of a Seth Rogan helmed TMNT reboot set for 2023. Additionally we talk about the Unreal Engine 5 and what we hope to see in the future of gaming. Lastly, we take an in-depth look at the new Avengers Campus at Disneyland California Adventure, as well as go over our theories for what may potentially happen in the upcoming Loki series.

This week we go over a new addition to the Galaxy's Edge Legacy Lightsaber collection, a possible release date for the Fallen Order next gen upgrade, news on upcoming Horizon: Forbidden West gameplay, the announcement of an animated movie from the DC Injustice universe, the trailer for Edgar Wright's new movie "Last Night in Soho," a brief review of Army of The Dead, and finally we talk about the Eternals trailer and go in-depth as to who the characters are, what they're doing, and possible universe implications for their existence.

This week we talk new trailers, new Legacy Lightsabers at Galaxy's Edge, Knives Out 2 casting news, and some general video game news such as PS5 stock shortages, and various games that have been delayed, recently released, or are soon to be released.

Happy May 4th Everyone! Even though this will be uploaded after May 4th we decided to cover some Star Wars news and talk about The Clone Wars because of the premier of The Bad Batch. This week we once again go over the news and announcements from this past week. This includes a trailer for Pixar's new movie "Luca", new titles and release dates for various Marvel movies, and of course various bits of Star Wars news.

This week we decided to omit our news section in order to discuss 3 major topics: the winners of the 2021 Academy Awards, and our spoiler reviews for Mortal Kombat (2021), and Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

This week we talk about new trailers for Fast and Furious 9, and Shang-Chi and The Legends of The Ten Rings. Then we go over some news regarding The Flash movie, as well as some casting news for Indiana Jones 5 and Marvel's Secret Invasion. After that we go through and predict the winners of this year's Academy Awards, which will be followed up on next week's episode where we go over what we got right and what we got wrong.
