Pop That!

Have you seen Hereditary? Or are you avoiding spoilers, but want to know what sort of time you may be in for? Then listen to our Pop Take on Ari Aster's first feature-length movie. It's a doozy and not for the squeamish. Well-crafted arthouse horror for the mainstream sure is a rare gem to find, but this film (mostly) earns that praise. It's a truly scary, scary movie. It's time for our Pop Take! on Hereditary.  

We couldn’t be more excited to have our friend (and one of our favorite funny ladies) Regina Soto back on this episode to break down all the mixed messages we get about love and romance from movies and TV. Seriously, why didn’t Andie end up with Duckie at the end of Pretty In Pink? And why don’t we feel worse than we should about that?? This and other questions are answered on this episode of Movies 101: What’s Love Got To Do With It?

It's TV 101! And we're talking serious about "Roseanne: The Return." Susan Pickover joins the show for an "emergency" recording to break down the cancellation of the recently-returned series. We discuss our love for the original show, break down how the new season ultimately succumbed to its own politics, and try to answer the question: how did this go so wrong? This was a pretty emotional episode to record, so join us as we wade through our feelings and try to make sense of it all. We hope you appreciate the discussion! It's seriously time to POP THAT!

Star Wars is back, baby! Kicking off the summer this Memorial Day weekend with both Chris Calilung and Chris Shatraw in the house to dissect our viewing. Did it measure up? You'll have to listen to find out. So grab a glass of moof milk, kick off your shoes and let's get our Pop Take on Solo: A Star Wars Story!

It’s the inaugural show of one of our new themed episodes, where we ask the question: WTF Were They Thinking??? And we couldn’t be more excited to have our friend (and one of our favorite funny ladies) Susan Pickover on this episode to break down the classic 1989 extravaganza: Teen Witch. Betcha didn’t know the show was named after this classic! Tune in to find out why we love this glorious POS movie and we ask WTF….WERE THEY THINKING?

It's that time of year! We’re gonna predict which summer movies will be tops at the box office. Chris Calilung and Matthew McKibben join me to see if we're winners or losers by summer's end. (If it's anything like last year, our dreams will be crushed like a bug under Thanos' boot.) May the odds be ever in your favor!

Aaron Haughton joins me from Viddy-Well film blog to break down the year in movies for 2017. In this second (and final) part we reveal our Top 10 movie lists for 2017. (Aaron and I had no clue how the other chose, so hear us geek out when we both have the exact same #6 film.) In the immortal words of the old guy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: we chose...wisely. Vive le cinema!

Aaron Haughton joins me from Viddy-Well film blog to break down the year in movies for 2017. In this first part we talk trends we liked and trends we loathed. We finish Part 1 with a few special lists of some of our favorite movies you might not have heard about.

It's 2018! To kick the year off with a bang, Pop That! is talking spirituality through entertainment. And who better than Oprah Winfrey to kick our enlightened butts into mind-body-spirit shape! The amazing Regina Soto sits down to talk about our latest obsession with Oprah's new podcast, and you will loooooove iiiiiiiiit. You get a podcast! And you get a podcast! Podcasts for everyone!!!

What a week! 2017 is winding to a close, and going out with a bang. When we recorded our hopes and wishes for The Last Jedi last week, little did we know that there would already be so much controversy surrounding this movie. Chris Calilung, Matthew McKibben, and Kevin Miller join the show to discuss what we enjoyed about the film and address some of the criticism for the latest entry in Star Wars canon.

We're only 4 days away from the release of The Last Jedi and it's getting really real! Chris Calilung and Matthew McKibben join me to talk all things Star Wars. We discuss our love for this franchise, how we think Disney is doing steering the ship, and what we hope Rian Johnson will do with this new film. So all aboard the Millennium Falcon! Light speed ahead! It's time to Pop That!

We wrap up this episode in true Pop That! style with a lot of love for Master of None, and Pabba tells us how he accidentally watched the movie Ex Machina in Spanish. It's both informative and hilarious. How can you beat that? It's the final part of our TWO-PART Diversity in Media conversation with Susan Pickover, Adam Pabbason, and Chris Calilung!

Pop That! gets serious (and has some good fun) about a subject near and dear to our hearts: diversity in the entertainment industry. We sit down and talk with Susan Pickover, Adam Pabbason, and Chris Calilung to break down where Hollywood is getting it right, and where it's still so, so wrong. So join us for a fascinating discussion that's a TWO-PARTER! (Seriously, it was really just that good, we couldn't stop talking.)

Today on Pop That! we take a deep dive into the world of anime with our very own resident expert, Linday Treviño! Lindsay has a wealth of knowledge and experience in this world, and if you are new to anime or a lifetime lover, you will really enjoy this conversation. It's time to Pop That! Anime-style.

It's Pop That's very first episode! And we're so excited for our very first guest. Comedian and improviser Regina Soto joins us, so be prepared to laugh out loud as we talk about everything from Lady Gaga to the upcoming horrors of the holidays. Gobble, gobble! It's time to get thankful y'all.
