Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #9!

Don’t let the academic sounding title fool you—my guest Alex Rajczi and I have a rousing discussion of how people look at technology and risk and ethics using one of our favorite sci-fi technologies! If you already like geeking out over stuff like this, you’ll definitely enjoy this discussion! If you wonder what all the hubub is about, this might just be enough to get you interested!

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #8

I have guests today for a fully fledged Justice League Panel Discussion! Caren, Chris, and I sit down to talk about the newly released Justice League movie, which means SPOILER ALERT! Be sure you either have seen the film or don’t mind if you hear us discuss the entire film. Enjoy!

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #7!

This short episode consists entirely of my spoiler-free impressions of the just-released movie Thor Ragnarok. Enjoy!

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #6! 

The CW superhero shows (Supergirl, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow) premiered this week, so I give you my thoughts on how the shows are starting off. (:42)

Next, I get a little techie. Lots of new gadgets and devices have introduced by the big tech companies these last few weeks. I talk about three that I either bought, or would consider buying: the Apple TV 4K, Echo Spot, and Google Clip (with honorable mention to the Echo Button). (6:44)

I end by talking about my big tech purchase of late: an iPad Pro 12.9” and how it works with the recently released iOS 11. (16:45)

Quick apology—I didn’t have my normal podcasting rig, so the audio isn’t 100% where I’d like it. I make up for it with a silly effect in the middle of the ‘cast. Enjoy!

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #5! This episode I go trekking through space with you! (See what I did there?) I’m remixing my thoughts on two space faring shows that have just started.

First, Star Trek Discovery, which premiered Sunday with one episode broadcast nationally on CBS TV, and the second episode streamed on CBS All Access—as all subsequent episodes will be. (1:24)

Then I discuss The Orville, which is Seth MacFarlane’s new science-fiction space opera “dramedy” that draws extremely heavily on the Star Trek universe, especially the Next Generation era universe. (18:14)

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #4!

Like the previous episode, this episode is a panel disccusion between myself and Caren and Chris Spliter. This time, we’re talking about Game of Thrones Season 7.

SPOILER ALERT: we talk about the whole season, even referring to previous seasons a little, so if you’re not caught up yet, be warned!

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #3!

In this episode, the entire episode is a panel discussion of the Netflix series The Defenders! Chris, Caren, and I slip and slide into talking about the individual shows and comics as well, but you expected that, didn’t you?

SPOILER ALERT: we talk about the series as a whole. So if you’ve not finished it yet, be warned!

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #2! Now with original theme music!

In this episode I start with a mention of the movies I recently bought in Digital HD format, and explain why I prefer to buy Digital HD Movies on iTunes. (1:06) 

Then I review the new DC Animated movie Batman and Harley Quinn. (5:05) 

Next, I move to streaming TV and give you my take on Amazon Prime’s new series The Tick. (10:32) 

I end with a book review of John Scalzi’s The Collapsing Empire. (15:29)

Welcome to Culture Pop Remix #1!

I’m Orren Merton, your main host. This podcast is all about picking a few films, TV shows, novels, comics, games, or tech toys each episode to geek out on! In the future, I’ll have interesting guest hosts to join me in our deep dive.

For this first podcast, I geek out on Spider-Man Homecoming; discuss a couple things I’m looking forward to (Marvel’s The Defenders on Netflix and the DC Animated Batman & Harley Quinn); and review a couple comics I read: Terry Moore’s Motor Girl #8 and DC: Metal #1.
