So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as it focuses on the most dreadful of duds, the most creatively bankrupt of flops, as we debate the Worst Movie Sequels. Films discussed: Speed 2: Cruise Control, Highlander 2: The Quickening, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Caddyshack II, Jaws: The Revenge, Halloween Kills, Basic Instinct II, Teen Wolf Too, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, Staying Alive, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Grease 2, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Batman & Robin, Zoolander II, Spider-Man 3.

In 2011, Ryan Murphy changed the game -- and freaked out TV audiences in a big way -- by launching FX Network's "American Horror Story." Since then, the horror anthology series has become appointment TV each fall, with seasons tackling demons, witches, aliens, vampires, political cults, serial killers, and anything else that might terrify and disturb. Along the way, the series has featured an impressive rotating cast of bonafide stars and notable character actors, many of whom have portrayed multiple iconic characters. Now, for our 2024 Halloween special, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine the best "American Horror Story" character of all time.
Characters discussed: Sister Mary Eunice (“Asylum”), Liz Taylor (“Hotel”), Lana Winters (“Asylum”), Montana Duke (“1984”), Misty Day (“Coven”), Cordelia Goode (“Coven”), Tate Langdon (“Murder House”), Constance Langdon (“Murder House”), Fiona Goode (“Coven”), Madison Montgomery (“Coven”/“Apocalypse”), James Patrick March (“Hotel”), The Countess (“Hotel”), Elsa Mars (“Freak Show”), Marie Laveau (“Coven”/“Apocalypse”), Sister Jude (“Asylum”), Myrtle Snow (“Coven”/“Apocalypse”).
Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss and Zack Derby, and special guest panelist Erin Marlow from It’s a Fandom Thing podcast as they discuss and debate 16 of TV’s most shocking characters.

While dolls, games, and action figures have existed for decades, even centuries, in the 1980s toys became big business – the industry earned an estimated $12 billion in America in 1986 alone. IP concepts and trends that started in the 1960s and 70s were fully developed, manufactured, and marketed to eager moppets transfixed by after-school cartoons or breakfast cereal tie-ins. And the toys themselves were incredible, with many of the most popular lines standing the test of time even decades later. Now the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine: what IS the Best 80s Toys Line?
Toy lines discussed: Cabbage Patch Kids, Jem and the Holograms, Micro Machines, G.I. Joe, Pound Puppies, Polly Pocket, Masters of the Universe, My Little Pony, Care Bears, Star Wars, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Popples, Thundercats, Transformers.
Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss, Kate Racculia, and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 of the most legendary toy lines of the 1980s.
