Made Possible by Pop Culture

Nikki DeLoach previews her latest Hallmark holiday movie, A Grand Ole Opry Christmas (including a Taking the Reins reunion), and yes there are SPOILERS within, while also reflecting on her time on Awkward and Home Turf. But, true to the concept of this podcast, she also shares important lessons learned from pivotal Season 4 episodes of Sex and the City and why she loves watching Wednesday with her eldest son and encourages other parent-children combos to do the same.

Iron Man and His Awesome Friends writer/EP James Eason-Garcia takes Made Possible by Pop Culture on a walk through memory lane of his childhood love of DC Comics' Batman: The Animated Series (and more specifically, pivotal Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn episodes) through getting into Marvel via Fantastic Four and his thoughts on the latest film for those characters. And of course we talk about his animated show as well, including the origin story for Iron Pup!

Stephen King's works are the discussion topic for Made Possible by Pop Culture's second annual Halloween roundtable episode. Featuring guests from across entertainment and culture journalism, the episode talks about the novels and adaptations of It, The Shining, The Stand, 11/22/63, and The Shawshank Redemption, and also touches on the start of Welcome to Derry, as well as the influence of King's On Writing advice memoir.

We Love TV executive producer Megan Harding takes Made Possible by Pop Culture back in time to talk about the classic family sitcom The Brady Bunch, from relating to the "Hawaii Bound" episode as a kid who grew up in an Australian beach suburb, to compiling behind-the-scenes stories (including about Robert Reed's high standards) for an episode of her own show. Plus, what other shows does she want to explore in future episodes of We Love TV and what does she have to work around when it comes to whose voices to include and how "inside baseball" to get?

You know her best from running shows including Supernatural, You, and The Magicians, but Sera Gamble is also a poet and now a newsletter scribe. She joins Made Possible by Pop Culture to share how the 2000 sci-fi serial killer film The Cell influenced her writing through the years, how she fits writing poetry in around her intense production deadlines, why she launched a Substack to help other writers, and yes, she answers a few questions about Supernatural too. It was just the 20th anniversary from the premiere, after all, and we'll never let it go!

Netflix's Boots and ITV's Code of Silence star Kieron Moore joins Made Possible by Pop Culture to talk about his troubled characters from both shows, including how much of boot camp training he went through for the latter, how they evolved through the first seasons, and where we leave them in the finales. He also talks about the influence of Gladiator and its star Russell Crowe on his early life, including his time as a boxer, in addition to acting, and he previews a passion (writing) project that he has been working on.

We hope you are not afraid of clowns (but if you are, you should still listen to this episode so you can face that fear and hopefully overcome it!); Guildford Adams is this episode's guest on Made Possible by Pop Culture The Podcast.Guilford is an actor and a clown himself, and he has written and directed a new documentary about the art and history of clowning, titled American Clown, which is available now via VOD. He and host/producer Danielle Turchiano talk about the making of the doc, including featuring people from John C. Reilly and Bill Irwin to David Arquette and David Howard Thornton, as well as the recent influx of clowns as horror movie villains. And of course we go back in time to discuss a past pop culture influence, this time Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Line Drunk podcast's Lee Larimore invited Made Possible by Pop Culture's Danielle Turchiano onto his podcast to play Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead and Fast Friends trivia, so now she returns the favor! Here, they reflect on longtime love of Miss Congeniality, more recent love of Game Night, and even a little bit about Date Night too.
