Best 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Episode

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2026/03/03

The TV series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” aired 144 original episodes from March 1997 to May 2003 on two now-defunct TV networks, the WB and UPN, which would ultimately merge to become the CW. That’s fitting, because “Buffy” essentially provided the blueprint for the bulk of what would air on CW – and other teen-skewing networks – for decades to come. There were teen dramas before “Buffy,” and there were supernatural dramas before “Buffy,” but there were no real teen supernatural dramas before this

Best Song of 1990

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2026/02/24

Pop music in 1990 was a wild experience. New queens of pop like Paula Abdul, Taylor Dayne, and Mariah Carey stood shoulder pad to bustier with 80s ladies Madonna and Janet Jackson. Hip-hop broke into the mainstream in a big way with M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice. The last gasps of hair metal still clung to the airwaves like so much AquaNet residue. Club music somehow how found its way onto Top 40 radio stations. And the totally unsubtle vocal stylings of Michael Bolton, Wilson Phillips, and others

Best Tori Amos Song

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2026/02/17

Myra Ellen Amos – better known as Tori Amos – is a singular voice in American popular music. While she has been nominated for such major accolades as Grammys and MTV Video Music Awards, she never received significant mainstream radio play in America. Still, her prodigious musical skills and captivating, poetry-rich lyrics confronting topics like religion, misogyny, and sexual assault made her an alt-pop icon who enjoyed considerable success in the 1990s and beyond. Now, more than 30 years into her

Best "The Naked Gun" Movie Quote

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2026/02/10

“The Naked Gun” series of films premiered in 1988, a movie continuation of the flop TV show “Police Squad.” While the spoof of police procedurals didn’t find an audience when it ran on ABC for just six episodes in 1982, the misadventures of Leslie Nielsen’s Lieutenant Frank Drebin were a smash success on the big screen, leading to a trilogy in the late 20th Century, and a reboot film in 2025.

Originating in France in 1924, the Winter Olympic Games offer a chillier, more slippery, and significantly more clothed alternative to the iconic Summer Olympic Games. With the 2026 Winter Olympic Games set to take place in Milano-Cortina, Italy, February 6-22, the Great Pop Culture Debate wanted to take the ski lift and take in the whole competition as we attempt to name the Best Winter Olympic Sporting Event.

Best Annie Lennox/Eurythmics Song

2026/01/27

Annie Lennox burst onto the international stage in the early 1980s as part of Eurythmics. The British synth-pop duo, also featuring Dave Stewart, was at the forefront of pop music’s New Wave, and Lennox’s appearance in the “Sweet Dreams” video – close cropped, bright orange hair in a bold man’s suit and tie – created a captivating image that, when paired with her astonishing, soulful voice – was impossible to forget. After several more hits with Eurythmics, Lennox went solo in the 1990s, and became

Best Song from "Rent"

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2026/01/20

Jonathan Larson’s Rent premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop on January 26, 1996. The modern rock-opera take on Puccini’s La Boheme instantly captivated critics and audiences alike, bringing much-needed attention to the devastating AIDS crisis, inner-city class warfare, drug addition, and featuring bold and unabashed queer characters and storylines. While Larson tragically died the night before the show debuted, his masterpiece would go on to run on Broadway for 12 years, win the Pulitzer Prize

Best Drag Race Lipsync 2020-2025

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2026/01/13

While many reality TV competitions become stale as the years go on, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has continually reinvented itself and raised the bar on next-level drag. That’s especially true of its lipync battles, which often determine which queen stays and which sashays away. Since 2020 there have been, conservatively, more than 100 lipsyncs between “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Original Recipe seasons 12 through 17, and “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” seasons 5 through 10. And some of those have become truly
