    Rewind: Paving the Way for Harry Styles

    Because time is a flat circle, every now and then our episodes become relevant again.Recently, Netflix released a documentary, Best of Robbie Williams, to mixed but mostly positive reviews. Anyway, all the way back in 2020, on the third ever episode of Pop Culture Boner - The Podcast Edition, Alex explored how Robbie's career evolved from boy band member to stadium sized solo artist, and how he paved the way for Harry Styles to do the same 20 years later.

    Here at Pop Culture Boner we sometimes like to consult the experts. Or at least, someone who is expert adjacent. This week we’re talking to Isobel, an actual lawyer, about Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ divorce and custody proceedings.

    Hello friends! A lot’s been happening here at Pop Culture Boner Headquarters. Ask Alex about it next time you see her at the pub.

I thought we could just have some fun this week and revisit Alex’s feelings about Harry Potter, and how the film franchise ruined modern cinema.Vis...
