All Pop, No Culture All Pop, No Culture

Fallout and X-Men 97 are the two biggest titles this week, but the gang also covers Ripley, One Love, Invincible, No Hard Feelings, and even Shen Yun!
So Andrew and Lauren are back this week. You'd think the episode would be 5 hours long with all the catching up, but luckily Kevin forgot that he watched Argylle so that kept him to a minimum and Andrew and Lauren were incredibly concise!
I could give you a huge breakdown of the episode, but why don't you just watch it? It'll be easier on all of us! That said, everything listed above got pretty great reviews from the gang, so it's an overwhelmingly positive episode!

Kevin talks Lisa Frankenstein, Skull and Bones, and The 1976 version of The Omen. 
Honestly, there isn't much more to say than that! Andrew and Lauren are out this week so Kevin got lucky when Lisa Frankenstein dropped on Peacock. It's new enough to be relevant AND it was something he was hoping to see.
As it so often goes when he doesn't have supervision, Kevin also talks about video games. This time, it's the high seas piracy game Skull and Bones. Is it a rip off of Black Sails? It sure is! But it's ok because Ubisoft owns them both. At least I think that's why it's ok...
He then finishes off the show with an incredibly short take on the original The Omen. With The First Omen landing in theaters, this was a bit of a gap in viewing that he needed to fill.

This week it's just Lauren and Kevin again and they cover Steve (martin), Mike Birbiglia, Deal or No Deal Island, Appropriate, and The Marsh King's Daughter.
Kevin kicks it off with a pair of documentaries about comedians, STEVE! (martin) - a documentary in 2 pieces, and Mike Birbiglia: Good One. They are both great and still very different, so a fantastic insight into the mind of some great comedians.
Lauren then talks about Deal or No Deal Island, a great mashup of Survivor and Deal or No Deal. She then transitions into the fantastic Broadway show, Appropriate, starring Sarah Paulson. 
Kevin takes us down a dark path with The Marsh King's Daughter, before Lauren lightens things back up just a little with the Oscar nominated Past Lives.
That's not quite the end because they end up having an impromptu discussion about the career and future of Sydney Sweeney. Very fascinating!

Its a quick one with 3 Body Problem, Cabrini, Nyad, and Apples Never Fall. It's just Lauren and Kevin this week and they make swift work of their respective topics.
Lauren kicks it off with the biopic, Nyad, about Diana Nyad, the 60 year old woman who swam from Cuba to Florida - a distance of well over 100 miles. It's a fascinating documentary about a woman's battle against the odds and the triumph of her spectacular achievement.
Kevin uses Annette Benning as the springboard to transition to Apples Never Fall, the Gone Girl-esque family drama on Peacock. It's a show with all the potential in the world, between Benning, Same Neil, and the writers of Big Little Lies, but it fails a bit in the execution.
Lauren then takes us in her way back machine to turn of the century New York with Cabrini. It's a tale of a nun who travels from Italy to America, only to discover that her people are being treated worse than anyone could have imagined. Her battle to improve conditions for these people makes for a compelling story that everyone should see.
Kevin closes out the show with this springs big Netflix blockbuster series, 3 Body Problem. Adapted from a Chinese science fiction novel of the same name (and the first book in a trilogy) by the creators of the Game of Thrones series, Benioff and Weiss, it does suffer from some of the pacing that the latr seasons of Thrones did, but is overall a very good series.

It's just Damsel, The Holdovers, and a quick brush up on Final Fantasy this week. Why is it such a short episode? Well, both Andrew and Lauren had last second things pop up so Kevin trudged the road alone. A.I. free this time, too! It's brief, but (hopefully) informative. To make this explanation short, Damsel is OK but not great and it won't break you if you watch it. The Holdovers is fantastic and definitely deserves your time, whether it's on Peacock or on a paid streamer.

Its a full episode this week, covering the fantastic Dune 2, American Fiction, An Enemy of the People, and Shogun. You may look at the length of the episode and wonder how thats all we covered, but I assure you, we hit Dune HARD before digging into all of the other great content. Yes there are some tangents in there, but they are actually pretty on point!
Both Sara and Lauren are back this week. Sara was on our last Dune episode and she is the resident APNC expert on such things, so she brings in the cold hard facts while Andrew brings an unexpected amount of excitement around this.
I know the show clearly states that there is "No Culture" on this show, but I guess Lauren classes up the joint. She led the guys to watch American Fiction which leads to a very thoughtful discussion on race in the publishing industry. Keeping it classy, she also saw the play, An Enemy of the People, which leads to an interesting discussion of moral dilemas!
When the girls decide it's time for bed, Kevin and Andrew finish the episode talking about Shogun through Episode 3. The show is still magnificent. Go watch it!!
