Great Pop Culture Debate

It has been nearly 100 years since Macy’s launched its Thanksgiving Day Parade outside the department store’s flagship Herald Square location in 1924. Since then, it has become the world’s largest parade, and has delighted untold millions since NBC began to broadcast the event in 1952. For many families, it has become an annual tradition to watch the parade as they prepare their Thanksgiving feasts, the official unofficial kickoff to the holiday season. While many elements make the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade special, one of the most important are the giant balloons featuring iconic characters that have been a hallmark of the event since the late 1920s. Now, as the parade nears its centennial, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine: what IS the Best Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon of all time?Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Andrea Guerrero, Joelle Boedecker, and Karissa Kloss as they discuss 16 of the most iconic balloons from Macy's Parade history.Did your favorite not make the bracket?

They solve crimes and captivate our attention. Detectives on TV! Since at least the late 1930s, detectives have been a staple of television shows. Most are procedurals like the "Law & Order" contingent, a bunch are from prestige dramas a la "Sherlock," some are comedies (think "Monk" or “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), and some are even animated ("Inspector Gadget" counts!). But regardless, there's something intrinsically fascinating about watch brilliant minds crack cases in an hour or less. And now, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine: Who is the Best TV Detective of all time?Join Host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Amy Pilott and Kate Racculia, and special guest Josh Duggan from the Munch My Benson podcast as they discuss 16 of the most iconic detectives from television past and present.To listen to Round 1, showing how we got to the Sleuthing 16 down from the Top 32, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today to access the exclusive Part 1 episode.

The Aughts -- the years between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2009 -- were a tumultuous period, to say the least. Still, those difficult times produced some spectacular new works of American pop culture, including in the Broadway musical genre. A slew of shows introduced during that decade became monster smashes that still play on Broadway today, and many more made significant marks in the Broadway canon. Now the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to look back at that period and answer the question: what IS the Best 2000s Broadway Musical?Join Host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Curtis Creekmore, Gary Jackson, and Joelle Boedecker, and special guest Patreon supporter Trey Radu-Blackburn as they pull back the curtain on the Best 2000s Broadway Musical.To listen to Round 1, showing how we got to the Singing 16 down from the Top 32, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today to access the exclusive Part 1 episode.

Horror has been embraced by the film industry almost since its beginnings. The moving image is ideally suited to evoke the chills and thrills inherent in the genre. And perhaps greater than any other genre, horror has evolved over the ensuing century, reinventing itself so that it continues to compel new audiences long after monsters and maniacs and demons lose their fright value over subsequent generations. Many of these horror properties have resonated so intensely, they've spawned long-running film franchises that have spawn new films over and over again, some going on for decades themselves. Now, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to consider those scare factories, as we determine the best horror film franchise of all time.Listen as Host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelist Kate Racculia, and special guests alternative-drag icon Peaches Christ and screenwriter and journalist Kellee Terrell discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic horror film franchises of all time, ultimately naming the best of the best.To listen to Round 1, showing how we got to the Sweet 16 down from the Top 32, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today to access the exclusive Part 1 episode.

The films of the 1990s were big, bold, and left a lasting impression on audiences and future filmmakers alike. The best 90s soundtracks were no different. After the 1980s saw an explosion in commercially viable movie soundtracks, the 90s upped the ante, stacking major films with exclusive songs from some of the day's biggest music artists, or carefully curating track lists of future indie darlings. Now, 20-plus years later, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine the best 1990s film soundtrack!Listen as Host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Jim Czadzeck, Karissa Kloss, and Kate Racculia discuss and debate 16 of the most impactful film soundtracks of the 90s, ultimately naming their favorite of the bunch.To listen to Round 1, showing how we got to the Sweet 16 down from the Top 32, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today to access the exclusive Part 1 episode.Love Pop Culture?

Kaiju – the Japanese term translating to “strange beast” – is both a term describing giant monsters, as well as the name of the entertainment genre that has frightened and delighted international audiences since its debut in the 1950’s, when Godzilla made his big-screen introduction, tapping into our primal fears.
