Sherlock & Us - A Study in Fandom

Pop Culture Basement ·

2026/03/31

SHERLOCK HOLMES has endured as one of the most popular and recognizable fictional characters for over 100 years. His adventures have been chronicled in print, as well as on stage, screen, television, video games and even podcasts! There's no way Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who famously wearied of his creation so much that he killed him off, could have fathomed the lasting legacy and fervent fandom Holmes would enjoy. SARAH EDDIE joins me down in the basement to discuss our shared love of Holmes, his

2026/03/17

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is a show both of it's time, and timeless. In the vast landscape of television history, few programs have left a mark as indelible as Buffy. This iconic series not only redefined the horror genre but also paved the way for complex character development and meaningful storytelling in popular media. BTVS broke the mold, introducing a strong female lead who not only battled vampires, demons & gods, but also faced the trials of adolescence and early adulthood. The show’s

They’re the world’s most fearsome fighting team. They’re heroes in a half shell. And they’re green. They’re also going on almost 45 years of sustained awareness in the pop culture landscape, one generation after another learning to kick shell, eat disgusting pizza and scream COWABUNGA! TIM ROONEY joins me down in the basement once again to discuss how the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE franchise has managed to stay so relevant for so long.

On our season 3 premier episode, Mike welcomes ETHAN & ANTHONY from the BEST CARE ANYWHERE podcast as we explore the outrageous world of the BLUES BROTHERS and its cultural significance.

It’s the Holiday season & you all know what that means! TOYS! Well, if you’re our regular audience it means bills, party planning & crushing depression, but when you were a kid, the holidays meant toys & toys meant TRANSFORMERS! Even competing against GI Joe, He-Man & Go-Bots, the Transformers toy line always stood on top, and over 40 years later, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down.

1989 was the year of sequels, so why not have a sequel to our 1989: Pop Culture Awakening episode?!? I'm joined once again by Anthony (Tin Foil Consortium) to wade through not only the TV, movies and music of 1989, but the far reaching influence and the past influences that are connected to the pop culture we love from that magical year. There's SO MUCH to love about 1989, we had to get back together and record!Yeah, sequels can be tiresome, but sometimes they're even BETTER than the

I'm a big wuss, this is no secret. I'm not really into horror movies, even though I came of age during the 80's, arguably the greatest decade for horror cinema ever. But I always had an affinity for vampires, and THE LOST BOYS was the kind of horror/comedy hybrid that was right up my alley. I welcome BRAD REITER (Big Beard Booty Daddy) back down into the basement for my HALLOWEEN episode to share our thoughts regarding this stylish, sexy and funny mash up with a killer young cast and an

Super Friends introduced me to the world of DC super heroes, but it also introduced me to the concept of abject terror. For over 40 years, the episode UNIVERSE OF EVIL has nestled in my subconscious, a source of dread and fear that is never far from the surface. I welcome my partner in sleaze Andrew Gross back down into the basement to kick off SPOOKY SEASON & discuss this classic episode, it's effect on us both, it's pop culture footprint and the various weird/terrifying cartoon

Sitting down in the 1980's and turning on HBO, or your local cable equivalent, was an adventure like no other. What would we see, what would we discover, what would we grow to love? John Carpenter's BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA may very well be the greatest cult movie ever made, imprinted on the minds of impressionable 80's kids by catching it piece by piece on cable for what felt like forever.
