The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, in honor of Sunday’s Oscars, we’re time-traveling back to Hollywood’s biggest night from 5 and 20 years ago. We revisit the winners, relitigate the snubs, and pitch the nominees that absolutely should have been in the conversation. Plus, we conduct our audit of how many nominated films Erin actually watched each year.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/650Want to win some streaming dollars?

In this episode, we’re strapping on the tinfoil hats for another deep dive into the world of conspiracy theories. Is Garth Brooks secretly a serial killer? What actually happened to that lady on the plane? And is there really a secret tunnel system lurking beneath the Denver Airport? Listen as we separate truth from internet chaos in our quest to figure out what’s real, what’s ridiculous, and what’s just algorithm-fueled delusion. Plus, we revisit the conspiracies we once believed to see if they still hold up after all these years.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/649Come listen to our new podcast Shelf Respect (now available wherever you listen to our other podcasts).

In this episode, we share our smooch, marry, and kills for March. We discuss what’s worth a spring fling (smooch), what deserves your full seasonal commitment (marry), and what to bypass before allergy season fully kicks in (kill). Join us as we spotlight the shows made for chaotic weather days, the books that pair perfectly with a wildly optimistic to-do list, and the movie picks that’ll carry you from winter denial into spring delusion. Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/648Still have two weeks of Peacock and no Olympics?
