    The Criminal Trial of the Antihero

    Tony Soprano, Walter White, The Punisher, The Joker, Venom, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Are you noticing a pattern here? No, it's not aggrieved white men, although fair point. People love to root for a villain. But why? When did this start? Where do we go from here? We ask all these questions and more, this week on The Popular Court!

    The Civil Trial of Artistic License

    All media is derivative. The same basic stories get told and retold time and time again. So it stands to reason that some artistic license is warranted to freshen up old tales. But how far is too far? How much is too much when it comes to artistic license? We try to answer that very question this week on, The Popular Court!

    For the Record: Smash Mouth's Astro Lounge

    Another new episode type for us! This time instead of picking up individual songs from a variety of bands that fit a single theme, we're examining an album as a whole, track by track. First up, we're taking it back to 1999 with Smash Mouth's wildly successful album, Astro Lounge. Is this album just All Star and a bunch of filler or are there some genuine hidden gems here? Find out this week on, The Popular Court!

    The Judicial Review of Kevin Smith

    His movies were the soundtrack to our teenage years. The flowery, often foul language, the absurd debates over pop culture minutiae, the harsh examinations of our own growth as people. Are these movies better left to time? Or are they milestones that mark how much ad how well we've grown? We set out to answer these questions and more this week on, The Popular Court!

    An endless universe of possibilities! What do you mean there's not really multiplayer? There's no real story? That's kinda weird. It's the trial of the game that was supposed to revolutionize games as we know it, the trial of No Man's Sky, this week on, The Popular Court!

    The Appeal of The Sixth Sense

    The twist that made twists cliche. The swerve to end all swerves. The film that made one man the hit king in Hollywood for about five seconds until they realized that was his only trick. The Sixth Sense, this week on, The Popular Court!
