    PopCon #54: Matt Walsh Is 'Judged'
    Jul 25 2024
    If you know political pundit Matt Walsh, you know he is the Internet's most loved and most hated curmudgeon, making him the perfect host for a courtroom TV show. In "Judged," Walsh puts on the robe and takes up the gavel to preside over the most serious court cases, often resulting in the sentence of death ... or at least he satirically wishes this were the case. The legal disputes are real, but above all, they are really entertaining! Join Thomas and Sterling as they review the show, available from The Daily Wire.

  • PopCon #53: The Invisible Hand of GARM

    PopCon #53: The Invisible Hand of GARM
    Jul 18 2024
    Since 2019, an invisible hand has been working to strong-arm advertisers away from conservative outfits. The Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) is a World Federation of Advertisers charter directed by the World Economic Forum. In the name of "internet safety," GARM has created an antitrust cabal with the goal of silencing disagreeable voices by strangling their cash flow. From victims like Joe Rogan to Elon Musk's "X" to The Daily Wire, there is high-profile evidence of illegal activities. No one has gone untouched, including The Patriot Post and "The Pop Culture Contrarian Podcast." Join us as we reveal the man behind the curtain.

  • PopCon #52: 'Horizon: An American Saga' — Chapter 1

    PopCon #52: 'Horizon: An American Saga' — Chapter 1
    Jul 11 2024

    Kevin Costner has released Part 1 of his four-part movie epic "Horizon: An American Saga" to mixed Hollywood reviews and a box-office flop. This is a film Costner has tried to make for decades. In the face of studio rejections, he has resorted to pouring much of his own money into the Western. There's a lot riding on this one, but Costner has said he isn't worried about box-office numbers. Unlike others in the genre, this film covers a lot of ground with multiple stories, all connected by one idea — a town named Horizon. Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew in a film review the critics will love to hate.

    PopCon #49: Daily Wire’s New Show ‘Mr. Birchum’
    Jun 20 2024
    After nearly 30 years, The Daily Wire has finally brought Adam Carolla’s 1997 character Mr. Birchum to life in a new animated show. “It represents a point of view that may not be represented fully,” said Carolla at the series premiere event. “Middle of the country, the so-called flyover states. We wanted to do something that was sort of for those people.” Meanwhile, Disney has its own idea of what people should be watching. Let’s just say that its newest Star Wars series “The Acolyte” is precisely the opposite of Middle America.
