Popular Static

In our first show of the year, we break down all the movies coming out in 2018 that we are excited for! 

We end our first year as a podcast with a look back at our favorite films of the year, and we hear from previous guests about theirs. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

In our longest episode yet, Joe and Nick are joined by Alan and Joey in place of Lawson to talk about Star Wars for far too long. We hope you enjoy.

Joe, Nick and Lawson are joined by Mikey "King of Comedy" Mendola to discuss The Disaster Artist, the Netflix original series Mindhunter, and Joe's unreasonably long segment of What We've Been Watching. 

Lawson takes Joe and Nick to task on some controversial opinions. Lady Bird is gushed over, and we dig deep into Stranger Things 2. 

Donovan "Double D" Danhausen joins the show to discuss Justice League and the allure of Henry Cavill's CGI no-stache. 

Sure, the episode is pretty late, but Nick talks about how he saw Justice League which is gonna be our official review for next week so... it's almost like this episode is actually early, right? Right? Otherwise the boys talk Murder on the Orient Express, some new trailers, what they've been watching, and more. It's a good time, check it out!

Lawson returns. Does Taika Waititi's 70's rock-fueled foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe succeed? What are Lawson's thoughts on The Killing of a Sacred Deer? Is The Lobster worth watching? Find out all that and more, this week!

Finally, this is it, Popular Statics Halloween Spooktacular. Uploaded on November 2nd, the scariest day of the year. Lawson couldn't make it this week but Luke (of Boss Baby fame) stepped in to help turn this freight fest into all out measured conversation on the role of horror movies in the modern era. The boys talk Yorgos Lanthimos' new film The Killing Of The Sacred Deer, Nick checks back in with Blade Runner, Joe questions George Clooney's intelligence, Luke stares into The Void. Apologies for the late upload this week but extra processing time was required for all the highfalutin discussion on art and cinema. It can't be helped.

The boys talk The Flordia Project and Raw. Nick can't wait for Star Wars. Lawson continues his journey through Game Of Thrones. Joe hates Donnie Wahlberg for some reason? It's a wild show with what we've been watching, trailer talk, and really, honestly, a lot of Mark Wahlberg hate as well. There's more positive discussion about a lot of other things too but, really, screw those guys.  The Flordia Project is spoiler free, Raw discussion involves spoilers.

That's right, the guys reviewed three new releases AND got the show to an approx. 40 minutes. They said it couldn't be done, but they did it. Enjoy the tight, precise, well oiled machine that this podcast has become. Also, enjoy Lawson's continued trek through Game Of Thrones, some trailer talk, and a big shout out to MTV 2. All reviews are spoiler free.

The boys are back with a MASSIVE episode discussing almost all of the new releases but, chiefly, Blade Runner 2049. Nick is out on Justice League. Lawson takes aim at Kingsman. Joe asks Lawson to speak more clearly into the mic then speaks at a soft, soft whisper. Mic issues aside it's a fun jam packed show, check it out! All reviews should be considered spoiler reviews.

The boys review mother!(!!!!!!!!) and unpack the pathology of both Darren Aronofsky and the Emmys. They also discuss Dragon Ball Super, Bojack Horseman, David Lynch's "Rabbits", Mulholland Drive, Breathless, Stalker, Beach Rats, Rebel In The Rye, and more! mother! spoilers begin at 15:31 and end at 35:09.

The boys are back in the saddle, back in the saddle again. Accompanied by the wonderful Jess Schefke they review It, discuss what they've been watching on their late summer vacation, talk some news in the world of film, and live, laugh, and maybe, just maybe, love. It's a quick show, but fun as always, check it out!

A great episode this week with our NEW co-host Lawson returning to retake his rightful spot on Popular Static. We talk Dunkirk, Valerian, some news, and some trailers. It's a fun episode as always, check it out!

This week Joe and Nick are joined by returning guests Lawson and Abbey to discuss WOTPOTA and The Big Sick. There's some trailer talk, some Twin Peaks discussion, and what we've been watching. It's a fun episode as always, check it out! Planet of the Apes Spoilers: 1:10 - 18:39

We're back! Again! After a short hiatus we're bringing you an extensive conversation on Spider-Man: Homecoming with returning guest Donovan Danhausen. After that we go into what we've been watching, touching on G.L.O.W., Friends (The Ross episodes in particular), The Beguiled, The House, Beatriz at Dinner, and more! Also, a deep dive into the Hulk Hogan/Gawker trial with the new documentary Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press (along with, perhaps, a deeper dive into the psyche of Peter Thiel). Spoiler discussion begins at 20:47, ends at 47:20

Back this week with frequent guest Luke Sloan! We talk It Comes At Night, Rough Night, Luke does a deep dive into Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and more!
