Still the same great podcast with me, Rareeddie1. Same format, the same humour, and poking more fun at the woke entertainment industry. The ongoing battle between \"woke\" players, big studios, shady producers, and major corporations trying to buy pop culture influence, has turned into a culture war. On one side, there are people like us who just care about good stories, without the influence of tick-box agendas being forced upon us through films, pop culture, comics, video games, and more. On the other side, bad actors are trying to influence everything we enjoy and consume, while we just want to be entertained. As entertainers, we should be able to escape the daily grind of politics, but unfortunately, we are constantly being pushed with political agendas from the minute we wake up to the minute we go to bed. Some of us just want to enjoy a good story without any political influence, but when creators say things like \"If you don't like my politics, don't buy my book,\" it's frustrating, Enough Already let’s try and tear it down from the outside of the Gates. Let's go!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/head-pop-6691248"},"episode":{"title":"hEaD PoP #68, Fantastic Bore?

Welcome back to hEaD Pop — where common sense is dead, and we’re throwing the open-bar funeral party! Buckle up as we cannonball into the molten lava of modern pop culture, reporting live from the frontlines of the Great Pop Culture War™. On one side: billion-dollar studios armed with glitter, AI-generated diversity statements, and the world’s thirstiest PR teams. On the other? Us: the ragtag crew still clinging to the hope that storytelling might be allowed to be… you know, fun. First, it’s a Superman extravaganza: can the Man of Steel still save the world (or at least save the box office)? Or are we about to watch Hollywood turn Earth’s greatest hero into the galaxy’s most boring HR rep? Then, meet the new Bond girl — because what’s a shaken-not-stirred martini without a dash of controversy and internet meltdown? First up, we’re tearing the spandex right off the box office numbers: is Fantastic Four actually fantastic or just four people nobody wants to see? Is Superman still wearing the crown or has Jurassic Park drop-kicked them all back into extinction? Then we roll into Avengers: Doomsday — is it doomed or are we just rooting for chaos? We also ask the big questions: why is Sydney Sweeney everywhere, why do jeans matter so much, and why does TikTok stay racist? And finally, it’s the Doctor Who hot mess express: will Billy Piper be the next Doctor or is that just a fever dream cooked up by bored execs? God, we hope it doesn’t happen. Plus: not one but TWO tea makers and our noble quest to trigger Tucker. Buckle up.
