Jennifer Garner Admiration Society

We talk with Erin Leigh Schmoyer (@absolutelyELS) about America's Sweetheart, Jennifer Garner.

Also Tom gives some dramatic, heartfelt speeches that may not be relevant to the topic at hand. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We Saw Spider - Man Turn Off The Dark

In this episode, we recap our fabulous night on Broadway, seeing the famous musical Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark.

Oh and we also read the tell-all book about the musical, so we talk about that a bunch.This week's episode is sponsored by Audible.

Episode 7 Calvin And Hobbes Is NOT The Wire (Nov. 28, 2013)

This week on Pop Everything, Tim responds to critics that complain that he seems to hate everything by talking about something he loves: the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Of course, he kind of talks about it in a cranky way, imploring fellow fans to respect the wishes of the strip's creator and just let the work speak for itself. We discuss a recent book and documentary about the strip made by fans who seemingly miss the point, and compare Calvin and Hobbes fans to that jerk at the office that ...

New Sudser Skein Does Boffo At B.O. Down Infopike

Tom talks about Arrow again and how popular it is in Hungary, also the newish Wolverine movie and how X-Men Origins: Wolverine being leaked ruined the movie for everyone.

This leads into the time Tom almost getting to play Super Mario 3 early, how everyone saw Super Mario 3 for the first time in The Wizard, and the new Doctor Who: Eighth Doctor mobis...

Episode 5 Hey Old Idiot, It's Not For You (Nov. 14, 2013)

This week Tom talks about his favorite TV show, Arrow, which Tim assumes is about The Green Lantern, but apparently is about The Green Arrow, which is an entirely different guy. Listen as Tom makes his case that a superhero television show can actually be entertaining, and contrasts it with the less successful Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Then we talk about our favorite album opening lines in a new installment of "Top 2, Bottom 2" and discuss how the MTV VMAs are no longer relevant to us. We also talk...

Episode 4 Thank God It's Thorsday (Nov. 7, 2013)

Guess what everybody? A movie based on a comic book character is coming out this week!

We also discuss the best 3D movies we've seen and Tim tries to rally everyone to support non-comic book movies.

Episode 3 Weird, Obscure Batmen (Oct. 31, 2013)

Do you like hearing two grown men talk about reality shows starring children, video games based on comic book characters and being scared by movies? You're in luck! This week we start off discussing Masterchef Junior, the reality show that has restored Tim's faith in reality shows (kinda). Then at 24:35 we talk about the video game Batman: Arkham Origins, and it dawns on Tom that maybe he has been getting fleeced by the video game industry. Starting at 37:05 we discuss the new Arcade Fire album,...

Finally, we give a couple of new album recommendations and Tom shows a surprising sensitive side. While we're still working out the format of this show, if there'...

Episode 1 - We Are Legally Obligated To Talk About Breaking Bad (Oct. 17, 2013)

In our first episode we devote all our time to Breaking Bad's last episode, because the law clearly states that if you're talking about pop culture in 2013 you have to talk about Breaking Bad. Specifically, we discuss a theory popularized by Norm MacDonald and Emily Nussbaum that has divided the public and threatens to pit brother against brother in a bloody fight over the correct way to interpret a television show. Needless to say this is full of spoilers, so don't listen if you're one of those...
