PCP Episode 052: First-Person Shooters

Call of Duty and Battlefield are poised to go head-to-head with releases just days apart. As we get closer to the holidays (yes, we know it's only the first full week of November) these games will be joined by a handful of others for grenade-tossing, meleeing,tea-bagging dominance. So, why not talk about first-person shooters as a whole? We keep things general here and talk about some of our favorites, assess the Battlefield-COD war and make (un)related jokes along the way. But, what are some of...

PCP Episode 051: Naughty Dog

Oobidiga! So help me if one you corrects my spelling. Look, Uncharted 3 is on shelves and in PS3s everywhere right now. Why are you worried about correcting typos? Anyway, we thought we'd take this time to look back on the history of the development studio behind the Uncharted franhise: Naughty Dog. We look back on their humble beginnings, success in the Crash Bandicoot series, the Jak and Daxter franchise and look back on memories of the first two Uncharted games. We anticipate playing the game...

PCP Episode 049: Yu-Gi-Oh!

Someone needs to stop the nostalgia train that has been running along with PCP these past few weeks because it is put of control. We're actually, finally talking about Yu-Gi-Oh! and it is a good one. We all at the Pop Culture Podcastle or Brownstone (whatever we call that basement now) had a love for fighting with cards at one point and we are here to skewer it. The melodrama, the kidnappings, the sheer ridiculous...it's all on the table for us to lampoon. If you watched the show, share some hea...

PCP Episode 048: Toonami

First off folks, we'd like to apologize for the lack of a Weekly Dose this week. Hopefully, this nostalgia-driven, bonus-sized episode in the same vein as last week's 047: Dragon Ball will make up for it. Yep, we return to the public school lunch table and discuss Toonami. There's nothing that needs to particularly be said here. It's a rundown of one of the greatest television blocks in kid show cable history. In addition to the shows, we give love to Tom and his many phases over 11 years. Be su...

PCP's Weekly Dose: Diversity in Comics

No doubt, you've heard the kerfuffle that transpired last week when Marvel announced that the helm of Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe has been taken up by a half Black and half Hispanic character: Miles Morales. Needless to say, while the majority of people responded with a reasonable "maybe it'll be good, maybe it won't" reaction. Unfortunately, there was also a vocal minority that cited this "blackwashing" as "reverse-racism" and more affirmative action. We've decided to gather around and ...

PCP Episode 036: Harry Potter Part 2

Back! Yes, PCP has returned to complete our epic two-part Harry Potter extravaganza in prep for the final installment of the film franchise. It's back to shop this time as we give a refresher on the books and films prior to the Deathly Hallows tale and its subsequent movies. No worry about spoilers for the finale here. We top it off with our final thoughts regarding what we loved about this modern-classic and why it stands where it does in popular culture.

PCP Episode 036: Harry Potter Part 1

"Harry Potter and Podcast of Culture that is Popping" is the much awaited tale of the Boy Who Lived through the eyes of the PCP boys. With the final film so close, this is your chance cram for the OWLs. Sharpen your wands, press your robes and count your Horcruxes.

PCP Episode 024: The Mighty Thor!

Come! Be seated at at Odin's table. The ambrosia is sweet and plentiful. Join Loki's disciples of mischief and immaturity, PCP, as we discuss your favorite hammer-wielding hero since Shaquille O'Neal's tour de force performance as Steel - the Mighty Thor. We're a week from the long-anticipated movie and are really boosted...I mean, "moist with anticipation" or something. If thou art unfamiliar with the corresponding texts, this shall be a worthy crash course. LET THE THUNDER ROAR!

PCP Episode 023: Guilty Pleasure Movies

This one is funny. No lecturing or formality. Just a fun time with bad movies. Good taste, logic, common decency...they all go out the window this time. Yes, we realize we have virtually no sense of shame or guilt. What movies could we possibly feel embarrassed to like? Not Sucker Punch (after all, we do have some credibility). Well, how about Godzilla 2000, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat 2 (yes 2), The Big Hit, Catwoman, Super Mario Brothers, Double Dragon, Warriors of Virtue (fighting kangaroos...

PCP Episode 014: Scott Pilgrim

Once upon a time, at the P.C.P. Brownstone, 4 evil exes were getting a life. And if you have you one, you wouldn't waste an hour of it on an epic Scott Pilgrim anaylisis of epic epicness... now would you? Yep, more Canadians! We've discussed the film and the game so now all that's left is discussing Bryan Lee O'Malley's 6-volume graphic novel. We talk the hipsterisms, game references and genuine relationship elements that made us fall in love with the books. Join Avery, Josiah, Marcus and Shegaw...
