Today... In Pop Culture: A Podcast About The Zeitgeist
Essays but in podcast form, *kind of* like YouTube. All about the upswing, in-between, and downswing of popular culture. If it is in the zeitgeist, it might be in the podcast.

Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980)'s Suspense + Mystery In Modern Pop Culture -- Clue (1985), Family Guy (2010), Knives Out (2019)
FYI: I HAVE THIS AIR FRESHNER THAT GOES OFF EVERY 45 MINUTES, and I got a new mic from my boyfriend sooooo you can hear it lmao. Although I got rid of background noise while editing. I love this podcast more than I love redoing those small moments. This is a good one. The first episode to last over an hour deals with Alfred Hitchcock, who is widely regarded to be one of the greatest directors of all time -- including to me. Enjoy, anddddd Merry Christmas. I pronounce mise-en-scene like a Califor...

Megan Fox, The Enigma, Part 1 of 1.
Welcome back friends, season two, and better than ever. A long 'un with some calm, soothing voice sounds to celebrate the premiere of whatever season I choose to be on. What a life. I have no organization for this podcast, see ya on the flip side. OOHHHHH, I don't go in-depth about the marketing of Jennifer's Body (2009) enough, but my friend Yhara does and incredibly fucking well -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llQ_OpOl7Qg ; this does it a better service than I did and I believe her intervie...

The "Cult Classic" Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000)
i pronounce things weirdly, sorry if this upsets you. i mostly do it on purpose because i feel as an english degree-haver it is my duty to always pronounce things incorrectly for the fun of it. i once convinced multiple someones that all animals have a singular version like "cacti." I'm a terrible person... so i say "cancellization" on purpose. i am full aware it is cancellation. I'm just having fun on a podcast, as i don't spend hours or have 1000 dollars worth of fancy equipment. i just have f...

The 2000s: A Teenage Wasteland?
TRIGGER WARNING. Since I mention a few things I want to make sure y'all feel safe. I talk about the topics in both shows which are alluded to mental health, pregnancy, etc. Howeva, two of my faves honestly. I am so excited about publishing/recording this.

Why Is FRIENDS (1994-2004) A Cult Classic When LIVING SINGLE (1993-1998) Isn’t?
I talk about Living Single and FRIENDS in this episode; been bored in this quarantine so y'all get a good two-dayer. Not much to put here but I said I would, huh? What was it... I said I would put something in the description. AH! The writers of FRIENDS, do I need to? Y'all can Google that yourself, right? Good bc I'm lazy. See y'all when I see y'all. Maybe tomorrow? Maybe next month? Maybe in 2021?

What Is Riverdale?
I'm getting back into my groove or something like that. Stay safe, friends. I whine about Riverdale for like fifty minutes because it sucks. Not because the acting is terrible but because the writing is. It's not changing any narrative or adding anything to the TV scene, it's just Riverdale. It exists to be Riverdale. So what makes the show so damn bad? I don't know and I won't even tell you that here, but I ramble and roast it a lot???? So if you're into that then what's good???? DISCLAIMER: Ro...

Now I need to go eat lunch because I'm starving, see you on the flipside of COVID-19. Love y'all.

The Auteur Of David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” & Donald Glover’s “Atlanta"
1 thing. On quarantine so I have free time... Why not make my old article I never published into a podcast. I liked the concept and idea and wanted to help make y'all feel cozy with a friend during this trying time in history. See ya on the flip side; stay healthy, stay safe, and wash your damn hands, thanks. Peace! TWIN PEAKS is on Hulu and Netflix I think so you can watch it when you watch ATLANTA. Go forth and binge my friends.

Powerful Women In Wes Craven’s Horror Anthologies
In a quarantined state, I talk about Wes Craven , Women's History Month, and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET alongside SCREAM . What do these two franchises have in common? Two badass female main characters and a great auteur director behind them. Let's chat about something spooky and something interesting... BAM! Also, you can watch these on Vudu, Hulu, Netflix, and I'm pretty sure somewhere free online. SCREAM is always on streaming, NIGHTMARE is harder to find (I watched it on Vudu). Nonetheless, I h...

Today I discuss Stranger Things . What happened to it? I don't know, but we try and find out. Conclusion : I still don't know, but hope Stranger Things 4 is better than Stranger Things 3.
