Hosts & Guests
Quality show with thoughtful discussion
Jan 16
I don’t always agree with their movie reviews, I don’t always like the TV shows they choose, but I always get something out of it. I appreciate that they bring new music into my life, (Chappell Roan). I appreciate the times that they have made me think about something from a different perspective. I like the interaction between the hosts and the differing opinions with a healthy amount of respect.
Great show

Been a listener for over 10 years. Always entertaining
Best title, worst show
Feb 12
This show is as far from the vibe suggested by its title as it is possible to be. Essentially a humorless organ of relentless progressive culture war. You just want to get away
“Tone deaf“ Tel-A-Thon
Feb 7
I’ve enjoyed many Pop Culture Happy Hour episodes. But today was the day that I unsubscribed. To call the Grammy Awards a Tel-A-thon merely because it ruined your “vibe“ straight up, made me angry. To say that about an award show that thoughtfully navigated the realities of one of LA’s (if not our country’s) greatest collective traumas in recent history, while still allowing for joy, talent, exuberance, and even lighthearted fun, IS “tone deaf“ in end of itself. It was a slap in the face to all the families that have lost their homes, and to the Music charity that raised over $7 million for Angelinos who are hurting and desperate. So… Boo-hoo it messed with your “vibe”. Your blasé comment made me want to VOMIT. Signing off.
