PopPartisan dedicates itself to ruining the escapism of popular culture by injecting it with politics. Each episode, we discuss a popular culture thing, a political event - either current or past (or future), and how those things combined could relate to both the fictional world and real world. Is Homer Simpson a Democrat or Republican? How would the wizarding world of Harry Potter be impacted by Brexit? Is the Fairly Oddparents a bad manifestation of American imperialism? Join us as we ask the (we think) important questions. Follow us on Twitter: @PopPartisan

    Cryptocurrency and Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy

    Anthony explains to Sam what cryptocurrency is all about. Sam attempts to learn about the blockchain using the only frame of reference he knows: pop culture. Would the Eds be trafficking in EddCoin these days (valued only at 25 cents?), who from the cul-de-sac would be all in on crypto, and has Plank been an NFT this whole time? Let us know on Twitter (https://twitter.com/PopPartisan) what shows you'd like to hear us do in the future, and kindly rate us on Podcast app as it helps grow the show (if you deem us worthy).

    Fictional Presidents!

    Happy Presidents' Day! On our first holiday episode of PopPartisan, Sam and Anthony cobble together a Frankenstein monster of a fictional president with parts borrowed from previous fictional presidents (and one real one!). Come for Sam wax over Josiah Bartlett, loosely define what makes a fictional president great, and stay for Anthony referencing certain presidential anatomy way more than necessary.

    Winnie the Pooh Fights Nazis

    Lord of the Rings and Immigration Restrictions

    In the beginning many a podcast was made. Five were given to the pundit class - to discuss the goings on in the world. Three were given to the loreheads to discuss all things canon. But they were both deceived - for another podcast was made. One podcast to rule them all exists. Join Anthony and Sam on a journey through middle earth - with immigration stops! Hear Sam complain about how sad the ending is because he wants happy and sunshine rainbows! Also, donate to Farmworker Justice (farmworkerjustice.org) and don’t forget to rate and subscribe!

    Spongebob Squarepants and Ocean Pollution

    What if Bikini Bottom becomes engulfed by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?  Sam takes Anthony on a trip through a manmade catastrophe involving the impact of trash in the ocean, greed, murder, and, of course, full-priced Krabby Patties. After listening to our satirical nonsense (we own none of the characters, we're just fans), consider donating to the Ocean Foundation (http://oceanfdn.org) to support ocean sustainability efforts around the world.

    The Matrix and QAnon

    In this episode, Sam and Anthony take the red pill and swan-dive into reality altering goop. Do far-right cultists think they’re on the verge of enlightenment? Do QAnon people make better human batteries? Is Newt Gingrich their version of Morpheus? Was everything Ronald Reagan’s fault? This podcast might make you reach for the supercomputer tube in the back of your neck, so please remain in this reality while listening.

    Toy Story and Capitalism

    You got a friend in me… for a price! Is Andy a fascist? How effective of a leader can you be with little arms? Sam & Anthony welcome Nelson, co-host of the Dixieland of the Proletariat podcast (https://linktr.ee/dixieprole), to help us ruin a childhood treasure. Find out the true origins of capitalism, and join us in examining Buzz, Woody, and many others under the proverbial (and apt metaphor) magnifying glass for a look into how Toy Story teaches us something about capitalism.
