Pop Culture Junk Drawer (One Take Edition)
We emptied the drawer and hit record: one continuous, gloriously unedited (well...mostly unedited, lol) rummage through pop culture. Lionel Richie spills on Michael Jackson’s… laundry. Bad Bunny nabs the Super Bowl halftime show and the internet predictably loses its mind (or pretends to). Reading Rainbow returns to raise a new generation of book nerds. An AI “actress” named Tilly shows up to take jobs and haunt our dreams. Plus quick hits on Peacemaker S2, neon-soaked TRON: Ares, It: Welcome to Derry, and a rom-com that actually argues back. Cody promises a “golden thread.” Dave promises to keep the Taco Bell packets. Somehow… both come true.
Why hit play:
Real talk on outrage algorithms vs. real life (Bad Bunny discourse decoded)
Cozy nostalgia with actual stakes (Reading Rainbow’s modern pivot)
A smart, funny sanity check on AI hype (Tilly Norwood, explained)
Rapid-fire watchlist you can use tonight
If your brain craves news, nostalgia, and nonsense in equal measure, this is your episode. Open the drawer. We dare you.
