Best Super Bowl Halftime Show

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2024/01/29

Since its debut in 1967, the National Football League’s Super Bowl has provided viewers as a little diversion amidst all the tackling and running and sports-ing: the halftime show. What began as the wholesome, kitschy entertainments found at most college games, with marching bands and majorettes, has since evolved into pop-culture spectacles featuring megawatt musical guests that sometimes grab more headlines than the games themselves. So now, with 56 halftime shows in the history books,

Best of 2023: Books

Great Pop Culture Debate ·

2023/12/25

It’s hard to encapsulate a year in books. When looking at 2023, the obvious standouts are a slew of major, much-anticipated celebrity memoirs – Britney Spears, Prince Harry, Barbra Streisand, just to name a few. It appears we have a new buzzy fantasy series in the form of Rebecca Yarros’ The Fourth Wing. But what makes the literary world so exciting and engaging is that there is truly something out there for everyone, you just have to know where to look. Lucky for you, we’ve got some

2023 was a newsworthy year for film. After three years of pandemic-induced cratering, the box office came roaring back thanks in part to the marketing and artistic triumph that was Barbenheimer. The year saw a slew of notable releases from directing legends and bold new voices that will make it one of the most competitive Oscar seasons in years. And after grueling months-long strikes, both the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA won major concessions from the studios, a good step for

There’s no question that television in 2023 was greatly impacted by the strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, which brought Hollywood production to a halt from May until November. So for the first half of the year, we were well fed with quality shows worthy of the golden age of TV. For the back half, well…hope you like 90 minutes of “The Amazing Race” and international versions of CBS shows!But still, there was great TV this year – and plenty of it. So podcast panelists

Best Holiday Album

2023/11/27

Holiday albums have existed since at least 1945, when Bing Crosby released “Merry Christmas,” a collection of 8 Christmas songs for Decca Records. Since then, countless popular music artists have released full holiday albums to share their love of the sounds of the season… or simply to satisfy a record contract, or pay their mortgages. It’s a Christmas miracle! There have been dozens of iconic holiday albums released since Bing’s nearly 80 years ago. And now, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast

It has been nearly 100 years since Macy’s launched its Thanksgiving Day Parade outside the department store’s flagship Herald Square location in 1924. Since then, it has become the world’s largest parade, and has delighted untold millions since NBC began to broadcast the event in 1952. For many families, it has become an annual tradition to watch the parade as they prepare their Thanksgiving feasts, the official unofficial kickoff to the holiday season. While many elements make the Macy’s

They solve crimes and captivate our attention. Detectives on TV! Since at least the late 1930s, detectives have been a staple of television shows. Most are procedurals like the "Law & Order" contingent, a bunch are from prestige dramas a la "Sherlock," some are comedies (think "Monk" or “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), and some are even animated ("Inspector Gadget" counts!). But regardless, there's something intrinsically fascinating about watch brilliant minds crack cases in an hour or less. And

Best 2000s Broadway Musical

2023/11/06

The Aughts -- the years between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2009 -- were a tumultuous period, to say the least. Still, those difficult times produced some spectacular new works of American pop culture, including in the Broadway musical genre. A slew of shows introduced during that decade became monster smashes that still play on Broadway today, and many more made significant marks in the Broadway canon. Now the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to look back at that period and answer the
