Pop Culture Basement

Mike Jamison

For some, it was a dimly lit, carpeted oasis in front of a flickering cathode tube. For others, it's a bright, drop ceilinged wonderland beaming in 4k. However your obsessions started, it was most likely in your basement, consuming the movies, music, TV shows, books and other pop culture that would shape your life. Join Mike Jamison and guests as they venture down into the POP CULTURE BASEMENT and discuss their unique experiences with the entertainment that made them who they are today!

  2. Turtle Power! - The many lives of TMNT

    Turtle Power! - The many lives of TMNT

    They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting team. They’re heroes in a half shell. And they’re green. They’re also going on almost 45 years of sustained awareness in the pop culture landscape, one generation after another learning to kick shell, eat disgusting pizza and scream COWABUNGA! TIM ROONEY joins me down in the basement once again to discuss how the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE franchise has managed to stay so relevant for so long. We go back to the black and white origins of the characters, as they mutated from indie phenomenon to colorful cartoon popularity, action figure craze and eventually movie stardom. While other franchise IP’s fall into the bargain bin of history, what’s the secret (of the ooze) to the Turtles multigenerational success?

    The Blues Brothers - W/SPECIAL GUESTS ANTHONY & ETHAN (BEST CARE ANYWHERE PODCAST)

    Remember when movies taught us that it’s okay to hate Nazis? On our season 3 premier episode, Mike welcomes ETHAN & ANTHONY from the BEST CARE ANYWHERE podcast as we explore the outrageous world of the BLUES BROTHERS and its cultural significance. Growing up watching Jake & Elwood shaped our views on friendship and rebellion, so of course we reminisce about our childhood experiences revolving around this comedy classic & the dialogue and set pieces that defined them. Did you know the Blues Brothers could be considered domestic terrorists? We break down the outrageous antics of Jake and Elwood and how they reflect society's views on authority & rebellion, and how relevant they are in today’s hellscape! What’s your take on the fine line between comedy and controversy? What movie did you watch over and over as a kid? What lessons did your favorite childhood movies teach you?

    Celebrating Christmas Eve On Sesame Street with Felt

    Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Fellow Gen X'er Leigh Anne (aka Bellacissa) joins me once again down in the basement with all of our favorite Muppets as we journey back to the 70's to celebrate CHRISTMAS EVE ON SESAME STREET! Will Big Bird figure out how Santa fits down the chimney? Will Burt & Ernie only find disappointment under the Christmas Tree? Is Cookie Monster eating healthy? Will Gordon ever get a moments peace, especially on Christmas Eve? And is Oscar a villainous dickbag or just a loveable curmudgeon? Sesame Street prepared us for so much, not the least of which is that the holidays are a time for family, friends, melancholy and existential dread. So join us as we unpack our childhood memories with the Muppets! Feliz Navidad!
