Wit, Wisdom, and a Whole Lot of Pop Tear-Maker Madness: What’s Hot and What’s Not? Episode #59, Breaking news from Nintendo, Nintendo Switch 2 extravaganza, Harry Potter drama, Superman leaks, RIP Doctor Who Doctor Who's Unlikely Future, Tier list Extravaganza. Welcome back to hEaD Pop — where common sense is dead, and we’re throwing the funeral party! Dive headfirst into the beautiful dumpster fire that is modern pop culture, as we ride the frontlines of the Great Pop Culture War™.

So grab your popcorn, tighten your emotional seatbelts, and prepare to question your life choices, because Head Pop is about to kick down the gates of mediocrity and set the whole pop culture playground on fire. Welcome to the chaos. We missed you. Probably. A huge Thank you to Tyler W K, Big R and Chris T, hEaD Pop Legends!

This week, we crack open the vault (aka Google) to predict what wild nonsense Nintendo is cooking up for the Switch 2 — or should we just call it the Super Switch and pretend we know what we’re talking about?
