Pop Culture Happy Hour

Brutalist: intermission is welcome. Working at an arts fest in Italy, I was at the film portion routinely, and EVERY film had a break, regardless of film duration…it’s culture convention. Time to switch reels, clear your head, stretch, pee, & smoke a cig. Just don’t be late for ‘secondo tempo.’ Film reviews are worthy in a case like this, for imagination & creativity are peak.

For a show that references Pop culture in the title, the expectation is the hosts are aware of it. The lack of understanding for the Adam Sandler attire reference reinforces this team isn’t dialed in like it should be. The show has gotten stale and there are better places to find this same content.

I cannot believe that this wonderful NPR station would allow so many commercials! It's bloody annoying. Honestly I hardly wanna listen anymore.! You guys did just fine without all the commercials for all the years previous.

Two episodes now have felt incredibly biased and lacked balance of viewpoints or alternative perspectives, which discredited the well-deserving and well-meaning shows. I don’t expect the hosts views and opinions to align with mine, but I do expect an NPR program to present respectable discussions and arguments. Episodes: Zero Day and Nightbitch.
