Pop! Pop! A Pop Culture Podcast

The Multiverse of Madness is finally upon us! Patrick Geraghty, an old friend of the podcast, joins us this episode as we finally get to talk about the strangest MCU installment yet!  

Moon Knight is UPON US! We break down the premiere episode of the highly anticipated first foray into the MCU's dark underworld.

and then yeah, we also unfortunately talk about Morbius (boo) and holy shit is it terrible.  

Not much going on since we last podcasted so we break down some news from over the last month and talk about what we’ve been watching. 

Spider-Man crosses $600 million domestically, the Morbius (boo) director straight up SPOILS the post credits scene, Tom Cruise goes to war with the studio over the MI:7 budget, Barry Keoghan’s Joker is revealed in a The Batman deleted scene AND so much more on this episode of Pop! Pop!

Simply: The Batman. 

But also we have Carsen Greene from The Movie Mavens Podcast on the show today to help us break down why (or if?) this iteration of The Dark Knight is the best one yet.

Follow Movie Mavens @MovieMavens on IG and listen to their show anywhere you get your podcast fix. 

Two shows, two finales, but only one of them doesn't suck. We don't want to point fingers, but there's a reason we demoted Book of Boba Fett from the main topic originally... Book of Boba Fett tries hard to salvage its subpar first season but only Peacemaker delivers on all fronts.  Joel also has the longest "what we've been watching" ever, which is a first for him.  

We come back to continue reviewing this season of Peacemaker AND The Book of Boba Fett got so damn good that we had to make it a main topic again… kudos to them & Bryce Dallas Howard specifically. 

"My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at meeeeee"

That's right, Scream is back in theaters and it's even more meta than Matrix Resurrections (if you can believe that) Scream '96 is a classic and the gang discusses if this Requel holds up or not. 

Then we dive into Peacemaker episodes 1-4, and it turns out the only thing needed to get Joel to LOVE something in the DC universe is: James Gunn. If you ever skip this opening title sequence, you're dead to us.

(we continue talking about Book of Boba, but none of us are impressed enough to make it the main topic anymore. Skip to what we've been watching if that's what you're here for)

There's so much goddamn news in this episode that's why it's over 2 hours long... People have died, people have farted in jars, and there's even some DC news!

We break down the first two episodes of The Book of Boba Fett and honestly, it's a much smaller segment than all of the news... which I think says something. It's FUN... but do we like it!? 

Hawkeye closes out with some big surprises and cameos but what does it mean for the MCU & will it warrant a season 2!?  Then Taylor and Joel are at odds (rare) about if Matrix Resurrections sucks or not... uh oh. 

There's not much to say about this except that we review the best damn Spider-Man movie to ever exist.
