**Warning - this episode contains lots of tears**
For the final episode of Pop Rocket, the panel convene to give listeners one last All About, one last Jam, and they look back at the past four and a half years, and all the various milestones theyâve shared with one another and their listeners while doing the show--marriages, deaths, birth, book deals, finding a new home, and so many other memories. Itâs raw. Itâs wonderful. In addition, weâll hear phone calls from listeners and friends of the show about what Pop Rocket meant to them. Plus, Guy shares the best abortion joke heâs ever heard.
Lastly, Wynter and Karen reveal their new, upcoming podcast, and how you can stay in touch with them beyond Pop Rocket.

This is the first of our three final episodes, and weâre joined by screenwriter Guinevere Turner (American Psycho,Go Fish) whose latest film Charlie Says just came out today, May 10th. As âbudding cult-ologistâ MagWaps notes, âif you think youâve heard everything on the Mansons, trust me, this movie takes a different view.â
Having grown up in a cult, Guinevere was able to draw from her experiences and insight to tell the story from the point of view of the women who were targeted and groomed by Manson, and killed for him. Itâs a fascinating discussion.
Plus, the panel convened once again to vote on another Pop Rocket Seal of Approval. The final three nominees were Sandra Oh, Toni Collette and Catherine OâHara.
There are two more Pop Rocket episodes to go in its nearly five-year run. If youâd like to share with the panelists what this show meant to you, or tell them about your favorite episodes, you can call Guyâs mom and leave a message at: (530) 237-4108
You can also email [email protected] a recording of your message made with your phoneâs voice memo app.

First off, you're welcome Game of Thrones fans. This is a super-sized Pop Rocket loaded with theories, speculation, and yes, even love. While Wynter and Karen were away, Margaret and Guy tapped two die-hard fans for a full-on discussion of the series and their thoughts now that the first two of the last six episodes have aired. Assembled in the studio this week:
Guy "I've read all the George R.R. Martin books in the series" Branum
Sarah "I'm in a viewing group with a gaggle of lesbians and their gaybies" Kessler
Laura "I prepared delicious direwolf-shaped crackers" Krafft
Margaret "I host GoT viewing parties at my house" Wappler
This episode will reveal which Game of Thrones character Guy has dressed up for--TWICE!--for Halloween. Sarah finds one GoT character extremely annoying, and it's not Bran. Laura pines for a Winterfell man she fears will die in the next episode, and Margaret is pretty sure she knows who will take the throne.
This was a raucous, expansive conversation that will both delight and frustrate Game of Thrones fans.

Take a trip down memory lane with Wynter, Karen and Margaret as they revisit 1991 in music. If youâve ever been curious what song was playing when Karen experienced her first same sex kiss, tune in. If you grew up in the nineties, this episode will bring you back to that moment in time. If you spent your formative years in the aughts, and want to experience the 90s vicariously through Pop Rocket, the panel goes into great detail about what makes 1991 such a pivotal epoch, giving us grunge, new jack swing, schmaltzy ballads and music fans that could embrace Nirvana, Boys II Men, C+C Music Factory and REM at once.
As an added bonus, we created a Pop Rocket 1991 Mixtape that you can listen to on Spotify.

When she was 17, Dame Angela Lansbury quit her job at a department store to take a part in a movie, as 17-year-olds are wont to do. She played a young maid to Ingrid Bergmanâs character in Gaslight, a film that garnered seven Oscar nominations and two wins, including one for Best Actress for Bergman. Itâs the typical tale of a young actress trying to make it big and having to struggle, role after role after role after role, to hold her own on screen with the most celebrated actors in the world, on Oscar-winning film after Oscar-winning film.
Sheâs now 93 years old and has been in the business for nearly eight decades, dominating the big screen, the small screen and the stage.
For this episode of Pop Rocket, we felt it important to give Dame Lansburyâs career a discussion worthy of the legend that she is, and we couldnât do it by ourselves. We needed to bring in the biggest Fangelas we could find outside of her immediate family: April Wolfe and S.A. Smythe, two individuals that get positively giddy noting which Murder She Wrote episodes comment on on colonialism and the prison industrial complex.
You guys, this is such a great episode, and thatâs not even including everyoneâs All Abouts!

On this weekâs show, the panel play catch up. Each panelist was assigned to watch one film from this past year they missed when it was still in theaters. At the behest of Guy, Margaret watched Can You Ever Forgive Me. Karen Tongson was assigned Roma, but decided she wanted to check out Support the Girls, so Wynter was tapped for Roma instead. Lastly, both Wynter and Karen wanted to talk to Guy about A Simple Favor.
Each panelist reported back. Who thought Roma was too slow? Did Margaret show enough love for her pick? And what did Karen appreciate most about the breastaurant drama?

Guy Branum is back for our first episode of 2019! Sadly, Margaret couldnât join us because #health and Wynter was busy being a jet setter.
This week, the panelists share their pop culture resolutions for 2019, and own up to resolution fails from the past year.
Writer and comedian Tara Jepsen joins us in studio and Guy is awed by the combined power of her and Karenâs âlesbian efficiency.â
If you're curious about what Guy has been up to these past couple months, he catches us up. Spoiler alert (though not really): He consumed a lot of theater. In particular, he saw Matthew Lopezâs seven-hour, two-night play The Inheritance, and had LOTS of opinions about it.
From âlearn more commercial jinglesâ to âmaster a new recipe a month,â the panel reveals an ambitious list of resolutions they may or may not be able to stick with for an entire year.
All Abouts
Karen is all about Bird Box the new Netflix thriller starring Sandra Bullocks.
Tara is all about hating a bootleg recording of a recent standup set by disgraced comedian Louis C.K..
Guy is all about The Inheritance by Matthew Lopez, which is loosely based on Howard's End.
