Pop Culture Role Call is a podcast that is currently reviewing Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the main characters’ perspectives.

Welcome to the apology episode where we watch The New Mutants! We made Stas talk about Connor and Cordi, so now we all talk X-Men for over 2 hours. It's a fun ride with some powerful teens. Demon bears, soul great swords and...being on fire. All the powers you expect on display. Thanks for listening and more Angel next week!

Why hello there! Mike is out on his honeymoon this week. That means no Angel episode. But, it does mean that Collin, Stas, and producer Brian sat down to watch the semi-horror, semi-comedy, semi-thriller Ready or Not. Thanks for listening!

Murder, conspiracy, treachery, woe....this week the gang takes a movie break with the brutally beautiful Repo! The Genetic Opera. It might have been a critical flop and a box office bomb, but, it won our hearts. Next week is Angel season 1 episode 1! Thanks for listening and spreading the word.

We're halfway done with season 7 which means we are going to take our regular small break from Buffy. This week we have a movie for you! The gang sat down to watch Bad Times at the El Royale. A great movie by all accounts. A movie where everyone has a secret, everyone has a gun, and everyone has an attitude. Next week there won't be an episode, but then we are off to finish the show!

Movie break time, y'all! The gang needed a light-hearted escape from the world of Buffy, so, this week we sat down to dissect The Final Girls. Or was it Camp Bloodbath? Or was it.... Camp Murder Party? The title doesn't matter, what does matter is that characters are sucked into a horror film and subsequently killed by a Jason Vorhees wannabe. Oh, it's a comedy. Thanks for listening!

While Collin is off globetrotting the rest of hosts make their way to Fargo to watch three completely different movies hidden within this Coen Brothers classic. Don’t ya know.

This week we have a special episode AND a special guest. Lucky you! While the Scooby Gang takes a well deserved break from the emotional rollercoaster of Buffy, we sat down with Holly (co-host of Boozin' Bitchin' Book Club) to watch and discuss the 1988 comedy "A Fish Called Wanda". It's equal parts heist, whodunnit, slapstick romp, and crime thriller. Not sure how they managed to fit all of that in, but they sure did. Thanks for listening!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Stasia is still out on an archeological dig contributing to the relentless pursuit of knowledge, so this is officially week one of our multi-week break from Buffy. For this special episode Mike, Brian, and Collin dive into the pit of filth and hate that is "Green Room"! Punk music, killer dogs, heroin, and Nazi's getting their comeuppance. What a treat. Thanks for listening!

It's our mid-season break week this week, which means we aren't returning to Sunnydale quite yet. But don't worry, we are keeping it in the Whedon family with Cabin in the Woods! Is this a slasher movie? An office culture dark comedy? A reality television show? That's for the elder Gods to know and us to find out. Thanks for listening!

Pop Culture Role Call is getting weird this week as our good friends Kyle and Nile take up the scene splitting mantle. In our first podcast cross over, the two temp hosts break down the movie Legend (1985). Is this a terrible movie, or does Tom Cruise just have a stupid face? Is seeing Tim Curry play an 8 foot tall buff Satan enough to save the film? Thanks for listening.

Time for the Pop Culture Role Call movie break, part 2 of 2, where we take our "one character's scenes only" formula (patent pending) and apply it to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer film! WE...ARE...DONE! Come on in and find out how it all ended. Did Buffy and Pike live happily ever after, or, did Lothos and Buffy join as one in their greater destiny? Does anyone care? Thanks for listening!

Welcome everyone to the Pop Culture Role Call Movie Break, Part 1 of 2, where we take our "one character's scenes only" formula (patent pending) and apply it to a movie! But this time it's a bit closer to home than you might expect. Did you know that Buffy had a movie before the TV show? Did you know it's....not great? Let's jump into this 90's mess and see what it has in store!

Jul 12, 2017

This week we took one small step away from Buffy, but don't worry we stayed in the Joss Whedon family! We took some time to watch and discuss the 2014 film "In Your Eyes". Was it a psychological drama or was it a lighthearted romantic comedy? Turns out, that all depends on who you watch as. Thanks for listening!

The gang this week takes on the Tarantino classic Reservoir Dogs. Accusing each other of being a rat to not quite remembering what Quentin Tarantino looks like. Sit back, relax, and get yourself into a Mexican standoff for this Movie Break.

For this week's special episode, we take on a lovely Finnish film by the name of “Rare Exports”. And oh, what an export it is. We are joined our special guest Ruben as we dive into the world of elf wrangling, papa issues, and proper VAT calculation. Join the gang as we get in the proper holiday spirit with a film that thoroughly traumatizes at least one of us.
