e252. Velma and Pouring Some Edgy on It!

Everyone is talking about Velma. It’s not exactly clear why. Most people don’t seem to like it that much. But if you don’t pay attention to what anyone is saying, and you just judge sheerly based on attention that they By sheer numbers of think pieces you might think that Velma is the most popular show on television right now. It’s not. Pretty much all of the think pieces are negative. And if you’d read them, you’d think that Velma is the worst TV show ever made. That’s not true either. It has a very mediocre 42% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not great, but not abysmal either. Really, it’s just kind of there. But why is it getting so much attention? On this week’s episode, Mav welcomes back returning guests Nicole Freim and Sarah Presogna (who actually likes the show) to talk about Velma and “edgy” content.

Om Podcasten

Vox Populorum is a blog and podcast devoted to pop culture criticism. We believe that the best way to understand culture is to discuss it. But we also believe that it's a lot more fun to have these conversations throwing back a couple beers at the bar rather than in a classroom. Please join our weekly round table of media critics, academics, creators, artists, professors, students and fans for an engaging discussion about movies, novels, comic books, television, video games, music or whatever else we happen to think of! Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
