In this episode of Pop Culture Fun Time, we cover everything from Amity’s foray into softball (spoiler: it’s no soccer) to the hormonal chaos of perimenopause, which we agree feels like being a senior citizen with a middle schooler’s emotional state. With Elliot preparing for film school, we start curating an essential movie list—Jaws, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and debate what else truly qualifies as required viewing. Amity joins us for “60 Seconds of Pop,” our lightning-round game where we name as many pop culture picks as we can in 60 seconds. This week’s categories: TV shows with satisfying endings, Disney characters who can fly, and Disney princes.

We also dive into what we’re watching—Amazing Race, The Righteous Gemstones, Phineas and Ferb, The Studio, Paradise, and a preview of The Last of Us, with a quick detour back into the chaos of Yellowjackets. In this week’s round of “Hometown News,” we share some truly unforgettable stories: a man who called 911 while identifying as an octopus and singing Cher, a ski resort igloo eviction, a bad breakfast burrito gone worse, a panicked pickup truck mix-up, and an unprovoked soda attack at a stoplight. And a song about how Jack Black sings in literally every movie he’s in—because of course he does.
