All Pop, No Culture

This week we're covering the new Amazon Prime flick, Jackpot, Netflix's Emily in Paris, the modern Mad Max movies, The Watchers, and I Used To Be Funny. Kevin opens the show with the new John Cena/Awkwafina joint, Jackpot. It's a fun action fest that doesn't really do anything new. But the real question is... does it need to? It's about 80% action and a bunch of quippy jokes and that's just great, dangit!! Next up, Lauren takes us across the pond to talk about Emily in Paris. It's now in it's 4th season and going strong. She is absolutely loving it for what it is, a fun show about fun young people just... having fun! She honestly can't recommend it enough, so give it a watch if that's your jam at all (and maybe even if it isn't)!! We then go from the light joy of Paris to the futuristic wastelands of the most recent two Mad Max films. Kevin has FINALLY watched these films and, much to his own surprise, he really enjoyed them. It took about 30+ minutes to really get into Fury Road, but after that it was smooth
