Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and its many spin-offs.
ThePopBreak.com's Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and co-host DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back talking about the first ever season of The Golden Bachelorette!
This week, Michelle and DJ travel to the happiest place on Earth, and some less happy places. They discuss a pretty solid, if boring, episode of the Golden Bachelorette and try to figure out what Joan's journey might look like. They finish up with some....Celebrity Family Feud? And finally answer the question "Who ISN'T this for?
If you have thoughts or suggestions for what you’d like Michelle and DJ to cover during the offseason or opinion about all things Bachelor & Bachelorette, be sure to reach out via twitter @Roses&Rejections!

Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts Pop Break Podcasting Director Alex Marcus and Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin are taking another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse as the MCU dives deeper into their Multiverse Saga.
Bill & Alex spent all of 2022 rewatching the first four phases of the MCU, and they just spent 2023 covering the first phase of Netflix’s The Defenders Saga and the first four seasons of ABC’s Agents of SHIELD. This year, they journeyed into Fox’s X-Verse with their X-Treme X-Watch.
Now they are back with their Defenders Disassembled miniseries, where they take a tour through all the final seasons of every Marvel Netflix series as they get ready for the triumphant return of Matt, Karen, Foggy, and Frank in Daredevil: Born Again this spring.
First, a new MCU show is here! Agatha All Along is out and blowing up Disney Plus. Alex & Bill will give you their customary season rewatch treatment of the show in a few months, along with a look back at Echo, but, with this being the tenth Marvel Studio’s TV series of the Disney Plus era, the guys thought it might be fun to take a quick tour through the last three and a half years by ranking every Disney Plus MCU series so far.
After that, stick around for an in depth discussion of the surprisingly improved second and final season of Iron Fist, wherein even Danny Rand slowly comes to realize he kind of sucks and Jessica Henwick’s Colleen Wing is the true star and we meet yet another Marvel TV Ward.
Watch along with us! Next episode’s title is Daredevil S3 (available to stream on Disney+), which will be covered in our episode later this month.
Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and its many spin-offs.
ThePopBreak.com's Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and co-host DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back talking about the first ever season of The Golden Bachelorette!
It's the premiere of the Golden Bachelorette! Michelle and DJ do a "vibes check" on all of the gentlemen and give some predictions for who they think will go far. They talk about the challenges of making the stakes of this seem important while not making the show feel too heavy. Finally, they also discuss the internet's favorite new Chicagoan: Jack!

There’s arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he’s been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City’s greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there’s plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman’s history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.
Join host Daniel Cohen, Pop Break’s former Film Editor and Resident Bat-Maven, as he brings on several guests every month to share his passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you’re a Batman fan, this is required listening.
It's time for another episode of the Batman by the…uh oh. Wait a minute. What’s happening? Wha-
“Winged freak. Terrorizes. Wait till they get a load of me.”
That’s right! Welcome to the JOKER by the Numbers Podcast! Grab your laughing gas, hand buzzers and pencils, because everyone’s favorite clown prince of crime has taken over the feed. You want chaos? Today we’re bringing the CHAOS!!
Last year we ranked all the actors who played Batman. With Joker: Folie à Deux upon us, we have to do it:
We’re ranking Jokers.
Do we really need to sell this episode any more than that? The Joker is arguably one of the biggest villains in all of pop culture the last few decades. The character has two academy awards on his mantle. Whether it’s pure goofball in the 60s with Cesar Romero, or Joaquin Phoenix’s ultra serious take in 2019’s blockbuster and divisive Joker, he always brings something to the table to discuss, and could be the biggest reason why Batman as a property has stood the test of time. His never-ending battle with the Joker is the cornerstone of the character. They said it best in a little movie called The Dark Knight…
“I think you and I are destined to do this forever.”
With a topic like this, you know we had to go BIG. Joining Daniel on this laughing gas filled journey is podcasting director of the pop break, Alex Marcus, along with an all-star panel of alums and newcomers.
Fresh off his appearance in the Definitive Batman Draft, Kris Ingersoll of the Media/Lit podcast makes his return, along with Amanda Rivas, host of the Anime x Pop podcast, and of course the flagship podcast of the pop break, the Socially Distanced Podcast. And making their debuts on the Batman, excuse me, the Joker by the Numbers Podcast, Alex’s former co-host of the Cinema Joes Podcast, Noah Franc, and professional wrestler, Brandon Vice.
The panel dive into everything Joker. Can Daniel get through the Jared Leto segment without going on a 2016 Suicide Squad rant? (probably not). Did the Joaquin Phoenix discussion last a long time? (probably). And…who won the title of #1 ranked Joker? We won’t dare spoil that for you, but let’s just say it was a nail-biter.
What are you waiting for? This is an episode where we rank Jokers. LISTEN RIGHT NOW!

Randy shares his recommendation of The Owl House and gives a wonderful breakdown of how his second recommendation of Hailey’s On It would fit the anime genre. Randy and Kris’s recommendations are found on Disney +, Josh’s on Disney +/Hulu, and Amanda’s on Crunchyroll.
In Anime News this month, they review the teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Netflix animated Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft set to release on October 10th.

They discuss their overall feelings on the series, the storylines they enjoyed best, voice cast performances, the cultural differences between this anime and the Terminator franchise films given the different location, what worked and what did not, and whether they want a Season Two.

Welcome to “Not Couple Goals” where co-hosts Allie Nelson and Tyler McCarthy do a deep dive into a different ridiculous romantic thriller from the vantage point of their long-term relationship.
Allie, a TV writer/producer and actress, has an affinity for romantic thrillers, the more salacious the better. Tyler, an entertainment reporter and critic, often finds himself drawn in despite his better judgment. Join them as they explore all the ways it’s possible to love too hard… like WAY too hard.
In this episode Allie and Tyler keep the spooky season going with “Dracula 2000,” a movie with few redeeming qualities beyond Gerard Butler’s abs. Join them as they discuss whether he’s more of a Legolas or Aragorn, explain why Allie has seen this movie an inexplicable 15 times and hear Tyler air his grievances about local news reports and The Last Voyage of the Demeter (it ties in, don’t worry). Will this movie suck your blood? Or will it just plain… you get it.
Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
To see more of our hosts, check out Tyler’s writing at USA Insider, SYFY and NBC Insider. Find Allie’s work at Parade and Business Insider!
