Episode 1 - We Are Legally Obligated To Talk About Breaking Bad (Oct. 17, 2013)

In our first episode we devote all our time to Breaking Bad's last episode, because the law clearly states that if you're talking about pop culture in 2013 you have to talk about Breaking Bad. Specifically, we discuss a theory popularized by Norm MacDonald and Emily Nussbaum that has divided the public and threatens to pit brother against brother in a bloody fight over the correct way to interpret a television show. Needless to say this is full of spoilers, so don't listen if you're one of those people who insists on waiting several weeks/months/years before jumping on a bandwagon. And hey, as this is our first episode, we expect this show to evolve over time as we broaden our scope to cover music, movies, books and other TV shows. Let us know what you want to hear us talk about or tell us how our theories are wrong at popeverything@gmail.com.
