Uncultured Pop Culture episodes:

October 05, 2025 Jaws / "Born In The U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen
It's Halloween month! And what better way to kick it off than with a scary Spielberg classic and an album by a legend from the mean streets of New Jersey; spooky! We also have a debate about highways and trains, in case you needed anything else to sweeten the deal.

Music: Born In The U.S.A. (1984) by Bruce Springsteen
Film: Jaws (1975), directed by Steven Spielberg

September 28, 2025 Good Will Hunting / "Lush" by Snail Mail
This week, we dive into the melancholic worlds of Boston and Baltimore, the perfect cities to spend autumn in. We cover a 2010s Indie Rock classic and a 90s Drama, both created by young prodigies. How will that make us feel?

Music: Lush (2018) by Snail Mail
Film: Good Will Hunting (1997), directed by Gus Van Sant

September 21, 2025 The Birdcage / "Overexposed" by Maroon 5
Join us this week as we uncover what is really up with Adam Levine and his (sometimes) four other band members. Does Maroon 5 have what it takes to make us love their album, or will we agree with the general public? And over on the movie side, we have a '90s comedy classic. Will it age well or will it fall victim to being a comedy and a film from the 20th century?

Music: Overexposed (2012) by Maroon 5
Film: The Birdcage (1996), directed by Mike Nichols

September 14, 2025 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid / "Forever Turned Around" by Whitney
Join us as we take a journey out west and explore two brand new genres. We cover our first Western movie and our first Country(?) album, and who knows if either of those labels actually fit. And most importantly, will either Brandon or David be able to predict each other's favorite song?

September 07, 2025 Bedtime Stories / "Rodrigo y Gabriela" by Rodrigo y Gabriela
It's Episode 26! In other words, Season One is halfway done, and we thought what better way to celebrate than to do each other's jobs. This week we share two works that we remember from our childhood, except David chose the album and Brandon chose the movie. Will we like what the other has to offer, or does one of us hate Adam Sandler?
(Also, HERE is the video David mentioned about Gabriela's guitar technique!)

August 24, 2025 The Apprentice / "Watch The Throne" by JAY-Z & Kanye West

August 03, 2025 Dirty Dancing / "1999" by Prince
