Were the updates and story choices for the TV show helpful, or was the comic truly "unfilmable," as was long thought? For more, visit prettymuchpop.com.

Om Podcasten

A philosopher, an actor/musician, and a sci-fi writer (often with entertainment industry guests) talk about media and how we consume it: TV, film, music, novels, games, comics, comedy, theater, podcasts, online video, and more. Most of what (other) people like is pretty weird when you think about it, so thinking about it is what we do.
