Hello Pop Culture Junkies! In this episode of BroadwayWorld's "Some Like it Pop" podcast, after Jenn explains why she hates everything NBC, we dive into all things TV and film.
Upcoming TV Comedies
I review YOU, ME, AND THE APOCALYPSE and ANGIE TRIBECA, while Jenn previews ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA's 11th Season, and new shows BASKETS, LOVE, and ATLANTA.
Oscar Nominations Reactions
Jenn and I chat about the things we were happy about in the Oscar nominations, and the things that we weren't. We make a few way-too-early predictions, and we dive into the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
Here are the info graphics I reference in the episode:
Movies Premiering in February
While the early months of the year aren't normally known for quality movies, Jenn and I preview a few (mostly goofy) movies that we are excited about in the coming month. I look forward to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, ZOOLANDER, AND RACE (not goofy), and Jenn previews DEADPOOL, HAIL CAESAR, and the April release of KEANU.
Here's the KEANU trailer that Jenn was raving about in the episode:
High-Speed Headlines
We try out a new segment in which I give Jenn 10 seconds to react to recent TV news. She shares her thoughts on recently renewed shows, a Jack Bauer-less "24," more secrets on MR. ROBOT, a FARGO favorite returning, and the recently announce FRIENDS reunion.
Show and Tell
Jenn shares a clip from Jerry Seinfeld's webseries COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE, where the former NBC star chats with President Obama, and, since Jenn won't let me talk about it on the show for real, I share my excitement for the upcoming GREASE LIVE!
