All Pop, No Culture
This week on All Pop, No Culture, we dive into a loaded mix of TV, film, and comedy—breaking down everything from nostalgic favorites to brand-new premieres shaking up the streaming world. We kick things off with the new Eddie Murphy Netflix documentary and the legacy of one of comedy’s most influential performers. We jump into the anthology series Soulmates, compare it to Black Mirror, and unpack two new mystery thrillers: Malice and All Her Fault.

261. Bugonia, Plur1bus, Oh, Mary!, Frankenstein, and Stranger Things Season 5 Sneak Peek
All Pop, No Culture
The gang’s all here, for the second week in a row! This week they cover Bugonia, Plur1bus, Oh, Mary!, Frankenstein, and the Stranger Things Season 5 sneak peek. As the show starts, Kevin immediately passes off the reins to Lauren, who saw Bugonia in theaters this week. It’s another Yorgos Lanthimos/Emma Stone joint and it’s as weird as you’d expect. And if Lauren is to be believed, possibly weirder. The story follows two less than brilliant men who kidnap a powerful CEO, played by Stone. They are convinced she’s an alien and the madness ensues from there. It’s a bizarre...

260. IT: Welcome to Derry, Nobody Wants This, Regretting You, and The Perfect Neighbor
All Pop, No Culture
The gang’s all here, and this week they cover IT: Welcome to Derry, Nobody Wants This Season 2, A return to A House of Dynamite, Regretting You, and The Perfect Neighbor. We open the show jumping right into the hottest new series, IT: Welcome to Derry. Kevin and Andrew have both watched the first episode, and Kevin’s seen the second. Both guys have enjoyed the show so far, and Kevin keeps the second episode talk pretty spoiler-free. But the show itself is BRUTAL. It is like Stranger Things dialed up to (pun intended) Eleven. If horror is your thing, this is an absolute must-watch. Taking a...

259. Gen V Finale, A House Of Dynamite, and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
All Pop, No Culture
It’s just Kevin and Andrew this week and they have a tight and shockingly relevant episode. They cover the finale of Gen V, A House of Dynamite, and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025). The guys jump right into it this episode the series finale of Gen V. This season was an improvement over an already solid first season and a great lead in to the final season of The Boys. They discuss the big reveals, as well as listener Mike’s great catch early in the season. The season had a ton of great character growth and great twists. It will be very interesting to see who shows up in The Boys...

258. Roofman, Tron: Ares, The Conjuring: Last Rites, Black Phone 2, and I Like Me
All Pop, No Culture
It’s a weird one this week. Lauren is here for a quick rundown of Roofman, but her technical difficulties cute her a hair short. Then Kevin and Andrew run with Tron: Ares, The Conjuring: Last Rites, Black Phone 2, and I Like Me. Lauren had a chance to get out to the theater this week and, despite needing to hop off the podcast early this week, gives us a pretty great rundown of the movie. It’s based on a true story and stars Channing Tatum as an almost lovable criminal sho makes camp inside a Toys R Us while on the run from the police. As you’d expectm the film takes some liberties with...

257. Alice in Borderland, Monster, The Four Seasons, Peacemaker, & The Queen of Versailles
All Pop, No Culture
It’s just Kevin and Lauren this week and, despite Andrew being a big fibber and not showing up, they manage a solid episode. They talk about Alice in Borderland, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, The Four Seasons, Peacemaker Season 2, and The Queen of Versailles. Much like you, we thought that a week off would give Andrew time to come back to us, but oh no… So Lauren is left to kick off the show to talk about the latest season of Alice in Borderland. In a way, it’s more of the same, but that’s not necessarily a good thing, based on how the previous season ended. There are some...

256. Marvel Zombies, Alien Earth Finale, Gen V, Wayward, and Tangents!!
All Pop, No Culture
It’s just Kevin and Andrew this week, and it’s a fun one. The guys talk Marvel Zombies, the Alien: Earth finale, the season premiere of Gen V and Wayward, with all of that book ended by some wonderful tangents!! We give you a rare look into what happens before we start recording a show, which is usually just senseless babbling. This time, though, the conversation was productive so it went into the show! Talking about a show that is well over 20 years old could come across as dated, but Battlestar Galactica is a master class in storytelling, character building, and budget management....

255. Twinless, The Emmys, The Pitt, The Long Walk, 28 Years Later, Alien: Earth, and More!
All Pop, No Culture
In this episode, the gang discusse Twinless, the Emmys, the Pitt, The Long Walk, 28 Years Later, The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot, Alien Earth, Friendship, and Upload. This episode kicks off with just Kevin and Lauren. They discuss the new film Twinless, starring Dylan O'Brien. It's a low-budget affair that should have had a better release. Despite its less-than-stellar advertising, the film is excellent, getting great reviews on both Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. It's a film about two men who meet in a group for those who have lost their twins, and the emotional journey they take...

254. Bring Her Back, Too Much, Task, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Friendship, and Our Little Secret
All Pop, No Culture
Kevin and Lauren are back, sans Andrew, this week, and they are discussing Bring Her Back, Too Much, Task, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, Friendship, and Our Little Secret. It's another packed week, despite being down a man. Kevin kicks off the show talking about a recently released horror film, Bring Her Back. It's available for rent or purchase right now, but not any streamers just yet. As a rental, it's definitely worth the $6. Kevin touts it as one of the better horror films he's seen in recent memory, and, as pure horror goes, it may actually be better than Weapons (which he...

253. Splitsville, Highest 2 Lowest, Am I OK?, Daredevil: Born Again, and Emma & Bruce
All Pop, No Culture
It's just Kevin and Lauren again this week and they are discussing Splitsville, Highest 2 Lowest, Am I OK?, Daredevil: Born Again, and Emma & Bruce That's right, Andrew has shunned all of us again. It hurts, but we'll move on. He'll be back and we all know it. After getting over our searing sting of rejection, Lauren kicks off the show by talking about the new film, Splitsville, starring Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona, and some other people. That sounds a little dismissive, but the overall review is that the film isn't anything too special. It's a comedy-ish, but it opens in a very dark...
info_outlineThe gang’s all here, and this week they cover IT: Welcome to Derry, Nobody Wants This Season 2, A return to A House of Dynamite, Regretting You, and The Perfect Neighbor.
We open the show jumping right into the hottest new series, IT: Welcome to Derry. Kevin and Andrew have both watched the first episode, and Kevin’s seen the second. Both guys have enjoyed the show so far, and Kevin keeps the second episode talk pretty spoiler-free. But the show itself is BRUTAL. It is like Stranger Things dialed up to (pun intended) Eleven. If horror is your thing, this is an absolute must-watch.
Taking a break from the absolute massacre that is the opening of IT, Lauren talks about the latest season of Nobody Wants This on Netflix. It stars Adam Brody and Kristen Bell as an on-again, off-again couple dealing with the strains of a potential interfaith relationship. That makes it sound very dramatic, but it really is a lot of fun. The leads are great, but a lot of credit goes to the supporting cast, too. It’s a well-rounded show that does risk getting tropey if they don’t get creative with the 3rd season. That being said, this one (and the first one) is worth a watch.
After some talk about things happy and fun, Andrew takes us back to last week’s episode for a minute to talk about A House of Dynamite. His timeline was hit by several people who absolutely hated the ending, so the guys had to clear the air as to what this film was truly about. Remember, it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. And now that it’s been a week, the guys can be a little more spoilery. So if you haven’t watched it yet, and you should, maybe pause the show, watch it, then come back.
Next up, Lauren talks about the new film, Regretting You. It stars Mason Thames, McKenna Grace, Allison Williams, and Dave Franco. It’s not an entirely unformulaic romance film, but it does have its share of little twists and turns that keep it interesting. It may not blow you away, but if it’s your type of film, you’re likely to really enjoy it.
Kevin closes out the show, reluctantly, by quickly discussing the new Netflix documentary, The Perfect Neighbor. It’s an interesting film, as all the footage is either from interrogation rooms or, more often, body cam footage. It’s the tragic story of a racially charged shooting in Florida and how it ultimately ties into the Stand Your Ground laws. It’s fascinating and heartbreaking, but an interesting story worth watching.
