Pop Culture Crush

We’re continuing with our quarantine entertainment party this week with CoCo and me sharing the movies we’ve recently watched. There are some old favorites and a few new finds in the mix and get ready for a long list!

CoCo and I are watching a lot of TV right now during shelter-in-place so we’re going to talk about it! We count down our Pop 5 currently watching list and do a deep dive into what sounds a tiger makes.

It's a weird time for most of us, thankfully CoCo is back to share what's been on the stereo while we maintain our distance, socially speaking, from everyone else.

Since I’m like a lot of you and stuck inside, let’s have some fun with a trivia challenge! And just to stay topical, I’m giving you 10 questions on zombie movies and TV shows. Grab a pad of paper and play along, then let me know how you did!

I know it's scary out there right now, but that doesn't mean we can't at least enjoy a little movie talk! I'm going through my Pop 5 disease outbreak movies, just in time for some quarantine viewing parties!

Last weekend CoCo and I binged Love Is Blind on Netflix. It's amazing and you need to watch it then message me immediately. In honor of that experience, I decided to go back and celebrate some of the other reality TV shows that I've loved.

Rebel Wilson is celebrating her 40th birthday today!! She’s one of those special ladies that never fails to make me laugh out loud, so I wanted to celebrate some of my favorite movies featuring Rebel.

Liam Poach from the Earful of Dirt podcast joins me to do a deep dive into the Star Wars literary world and share an update from the big Project Luminous announcement earlier this week. 

Happy Presidents Day! This is the perfect time for me to go through some of my favorite on-screen presidents. Fun, right?!

Alert: We had some audio issues with this one, but it's still pretty great. CoCo and I go through our Pop 5 RomComs, and I'll bet you can't guess what they are!

Hollywood's biggest night had a lot going for it this year. There were also one of two things that needed a little... improving? I'm excited to share my thoughts on the 202 Academy Awards and really want to hear from you on how you thought the night went. 

No big deal, but it's happy birthday time to the guy who sang some of my FAVORITE SONGS EVER! 

CoCo's back with another music list for us. This time we're all celebrating JT's birthday with a truly pop-tastic Pop 5!

There are some people in our society that transcend their field. Kobe Bryant, who passed away on Sunday, was just such a person. I'm taking a few minutes today to talk about his legacy while also sharing my Pop 5 favorite basketball movies. 

There's no way a song from today's list wont be stuck in your head once I'm done talking about Neil Diamond!

I don't buy a lot of blu-rays anymore, but when I do you better believe it's because I love the movie! SO today I'm talking through my Pop 5 2019 movie purchases.

Another day, another special birthday!!! This time around we're honoring one of the all-time great funny men, Jim Carrey. I've got my Pop 5 (or 8) all lined up, but what are your favorites? Hit me up on social, let's talk!

It's a new year so I'm going through my Pop 5 shows ending in 2020 that I'm sad to see go. I know all good things must end, but some of these really hurt. Also, stay tuned at the end for a special announcement. 

In honor of what would have been Elvis' 85th birthday this week, I talked with the world's biggest Elvis fan - my mom, Terri! Today is our second of two episodes on Elvis, this time around we're talking about our favorite songs by The King.

Disney+ is almost two months old already, can you believe it!? It's aging faster than Baby Yoda! So I'm skipping my usual Pop 5 this episode to bring you an update on my experience with the streaming service -- what I love and what's a little lacking.

2019 is over, but I watched a LOT of great TV in the last 12 months, so today I'm talking through some of my favorites from the year!

There's a lot of movies I like to watch this time of year. So many in fact, I'm bringing you a Pop 10 Favorite Christmas Movies list! Get ready for some surprising picks too, I don't think any of you will see all these coming!

There are a lot of Christmas traditions out there, from activities, to food, to which cousin everyone talk about after they leave. But at my house growing up, music played a huge role in our celebrations. So today I'm bringing you my Pop 5 favorite Christmas albums or songs.

I know what you're thinking, isn't Hallmark all about the cheesy Christmas movie? Well, guess what, there's a new player it town, and I'm diving head first into my favorite Netflix Christmas movies. 

One thing I probably am not allowed to complain about (but I’m going to anyway) is how many really good TV shows have been made in the last 15 years or so. There are so many, in fact, that there are some I just haven’t gotten to yet.

You know who had a really good second half of 2019? Alanis-freakin-Morrisette, that's who! CoCo returns with his Pop 5 Morrisette tunes, but mostly just talks fondly about the 1990s for several minutes. Yeah, it gets awkward. Thanks for listening!

Happy Birthday Fred!!! Funny man Fred Armisen turned 53 today and I'm celebrating by counting down some of my favorite performances by him.

Fall TV finales are just around the corner, so I wanted to take a minute and look at a few of my favorite new shows of the year. I decided to stick with the broadcasting networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox because it would take me forever to try and narrow shows down if I went with streaming, too. So today is my Pop 5 favorite new shows of the fall!

I welcome my hubs, CoCo, back to the show to talk through our lists of favorite Thanksgiving foods, and share some memories of our six (so far!) turkey days together. Warning: This episode will make you hungry!

I'm living dangerously this time around, especially in my own house where the Hubs doesn't appreciate some of my picks. But this is a good chance to talk about movies that a lot of folks love that just aren't my jam. They're not bad, they're just not for me.

Ok, this should have been a longer list, I admit it. But here ya go, my Pop 5 tv shows cancelled before their time.

It's the return of CoCo! This time around we're celebrating Chad Kroeger's 45th birthday with a list of his guilty pleasure music. Remember what I always say - no judgments! But this time, it's going to be tough.

Sometimes you just need to indulge in movie about food. That time is now, that place is this podcast. Join me for a delicious list of my favorite restaurant or chef movies!

Somebody special is turning 45 TODAY! We're talking all things Leo today, with lots of trivia, especially about that weird boat movie he was in.
