Engaging, Smart Pop Culture Talk

This show is a great look at a wide range of pop culture we all love, and analyzes specific elements of why they’re great. The princess bride episode gave me an even greater appreciation for one of my favorite movies. If you want smart, insightful content about movies, this is the podcast for you.
