  • The 1990s saw an explosion in teen-centered programming, with a specific growth in the teen drama series. Many covered the soapy realities of high-school and college, others had more high concepts, including undercover cops, teen detectives, and vampire slaying. But they all had beautiful teenagers (or 20something actors PLAYING teenagers) feeling all of the feels on our TV set, week after week. Now the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine the Best Teen Drama Series that aired between 1990 and 2009!

    Shows discussed: “Veronica Mars,” “Party of Five,” “Gilmore Girls,” “Felicity,” “Dawson’s Creek,” “Friday Night Lights,” “One Tree Hill,” “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Degrassi High,” “Glee,” “The O.C.,” “Freaks and Geeks,” “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” “Gossip Girl,” “My So-Called Life.”

Now in 2024, the sequel film Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is due to emerge from the cinema Netherwold in just a few weeks. So join us as the Great Pop Culture Debate turns on the juice and sees what shakes loose as we determine the Best Beetlejuice Quote.

  • While duets have a long history in popular music, they exploded in popularity during the 1980s. Many were heart-wrenching romantic ballads of lust and loss, others were bombastic declarations of friendship and independence. But if you were a top-tier musical artist of the decade, chances are you had at least one smash hit you shared with another music icon. And now the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back at these shared successes as we debate the Best 1980s Duet! Songs discussed include “Islands in the Stream,” “Up Where We Belong,” “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” “Ebony and Ivory,” “Almost Paradise,” “Guilty,” “Endless Love,” “Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves,” “Somewhere Out There,” “After All,” “On My Own,” “Easy Lover,” and more.

    Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Derek Mekita, Jonny Minogue, and Kate Racculia as they discuss 16 of the most gloriously 80s ballads ever recorded.

  • The Baby-Sitters Club books, by Ann M Martin, were first published in 1986. With the help of Scholastic book fairs and order forms, they became one of the most popular YA series of the 80s and 90s. Over the initial run of the series, there were 131 primary books published, along with dozens of specials, super specials, mysteries — and that’s not even counting the whole Little Sister series. Now the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to pour over all of the books and decide which entry is the Best Baby-Sitters Club book of all time. Books discussed include Stacey's Emergency, Keep Out Claudia, Dawn and the Impossible Three, Jessi's Secret Language, Kristy's Great Idea, Mary Anne's Makeover, Abby's Lucky Thirteen, and more!

    Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Amma Marfo, Jennifer Chen, Joelle Boedecker, and Karissa Kloss as they share their mutual love of this iconic book series.

  • Board games have been popular for more than a century -- some date back to the ancient world. But in the late 20th Century up until now, the buzzword has been tabletop games -- broadly speaking, elaborate games of skill, strategy, and luck that have generated intense fandoms since the late 1990s. While we've already covered the classic board games popular in our youth, the Great Pop Culture Debate now wants to determine the Best Modern Tabletop Game. Games discussed: Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Codenames, Forbidden Island, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Azul, Kingdomino, Carcasonne, Splendor, Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, and more.
    Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback and Trey Radu-Blackburn, and special guest tabletop aficionado Jared Tannenbaum as they discuss and debate 16 of the most popular contemporary board games.

  • For most of the past 40 years, NBC has absolutely owned Thursday nights. The network was never more successful in that endeavor than during the heyday of its "Must-See TV" programming block in the 1990s and early 2000s. Legendary comedies provided the anchors for smaller, but still great, sitcoms to find their footing, and tentpole dramas closed out the night. While the best days of "Must-See TV" are likely behind us, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to look back and determine the best NBC "Must-See TV" Show of all time.
    Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Amy Pilott, Jim Czadzeck, and Kevin Dillon as they discuss and debate 16 series that aired as part of NBC's legendary Thursday-night programming block.
