Uncultured Pop Culture episodes:

April 05, 2026 Brazil / "Speeding" by Allday
This week, we found something we love that the other person is going to hate, and boy, did we do a good job. We start with an Australian rap album that Brandon likes, and we follow it up with a dystopian British black comedy. Will we get lower scores than 100 gecs and Sexy Beast?

Music: Speeding (2017) by Allday
Film: Brazil (1985), directed by Terry Gilliam
