Jamie Lee Curtis is smashing box office records, and the Pop Rocket panel APPROVES. In this episode, Guy, Wynter, Karen, and Margaret share their favorite scares, from new shows like The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix and the CW's Charmed, to the latest season of American Horror Story: Apocalypse. Plus, they tackle the important questions, such as, “What Stephen King movie is the best?” and “What is it really going to take for Jamie Lee Curtis to kill Mike Myers?” And they lament that we are still awaiting a Halloween novelty song to top Michael Jackson's Thriller.
All Abouts
Wynter is all about the Lifetime TV psychological thriller/romance You, which stars Penn Badgley and delves into themes of stalking, obsession, social media, and sociopathic detachment.
Margaret is all about Girl Talk's 2010 album All Day, which is the only album that will get Silas to sleep these days.
Karen is all about an impassioned voicemail she received from Tina Turner devotee Nick White, who made an exceptionally strong case to award the very first Pop Rocket Seal of Approval to Tina Turner.
Guy is all about food writer Samin Nosrat's Netflix show Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.
That's My Jam
Karen - ANOHNI - Hopelessness
Wynter - Chaka Khan - Like Sugar
Margaret - Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind - The Shining Main Title Theme.
Guy - The Go-Go's - Vacation
With Guy Branum, Karen Tongson, Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh, and Margaret Wappler.
