Welcome back to Monster of the Week! In this episode, the group begins to uncover proof that this small town in Gristol Michigan is more than a little magical. After Vincent stumbled upon a unicorn in a nearby barn, the pieces all seem to start falling into place. But appearances can be deceiving. Is this majestic creature our would-be impaler? Listen and find out!

Welcome to episode 1 of our second Monster of the Week arc! This week, the crew is reunited at the local Renaissance fair to investigate a murder most foul. An employee stabbed through the chest in the woods... reports of a massive, 4 legged creature. Can Vincent buy his way into the festival...the free festival? Probably. Will that help us solve the murder? Who knows. Thanks for listening!

Oct 19, 2023

Welcome to the third episode of our Monster of the Week RPG campaign! It's time to uncover the full extent of this mystery and send The Shifter back to hell where it belongs. But can the crew all get out safely? Not alone they can't. Luckily, we have a few friends (and fiends) on the outside to help us along the way. Thanks for listening!

Oct 11, 2023

It's time to jump back into part 2 of our Monster of the Week RPG campaign! After Vincent Van Helsing summons the Shifter into a crowd of emotionally distraught wake goers, everything goes bottoms up. Did innocents die? Sure. But what's more important is we dealt some damage to the creature... Right? Time to knuckle down and make a plan, because next week we end this (probably/hopefully). Thanks for listening!

Welcome to episode 1 of our Monster of the Week TTRPG game! Join WheeledDealer, CrypTim, Vincent, and Mutt as Stas leads this motley crew through a monster murder mystery for the ages. Some rich dude dies in a mysterious boating accident. An anonymous forum post asking for paranormal investigation. I don't know who (or what) dunnit, but they don't call it Monster of the Week for nothing. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to another strike episode and the thrilling conclusion to the Black Hammer storyline. The hosts finally find out what's going on and continue to discuss how consent matters. Especially when the alternative is gaslighting people.

Sep 21, 2023

Things start going well for the hosts. A little too well. Lucy shracks back and forth to give an exposition dump so we can find out what's going on. Thanks for listening.

Sep 13, 2023

Welcome to another strike episode of Pop Culture Role Call! Brian, Stasia, and Mike continue reading the graphic novel Black Hammer. With the arrival of Lucy they learn more about their characters and the town. Let the finger pointing begin! Thanks for listening!

Sep 7, 2023

Welcome to another strike episode of Pop Culture Role Call! Brian, Stasia, and Mike jump into the first six issues of the graphic novel Black Hammer. A place where superheroes are sent to "the farm", quite literally. Thanks for listening!

Aug 31, 2023

Welcome to another strike episode of Pop Culture Role Call! This week Stasia steps into the role of DM/Host while the rest of the crew puts on their best detective hats. You see, a crime has been committed. A very serious (and very silly) crime. We have Louis Guzman, we have bears, we have garlic smears on pretty much everything. Thanks for listening to our little improvised story!

Aug 24, 2023

Hello and welcome to another strike episode of Pop Culture Role Call! This week, the gang tries to remember who said what insane out of context nonsense from way back in Buffy season 1. It's not easy, but it's pretty dang funny. Thanks for listening!

Aug 17, 2023

Hello and welcome to.... something completely different! If you aren't aware, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are on strike. Recently, SAG-AFTRA released new guidelines on how certain types of podcasts can show solidarity during their struggle for equitable compensation. Recap/companion podcasts fall under that umbrella and we are staunch union supporters, so, we are not releasing our standard media content. Please listen to the first 10-15min for more information on what this means for us. Below are links to donate to critical funds for entertainment employees impacted by the strike. We do have content for you so listen on! It's not a full hour of strike talk and we will still have weekly releases.

It's Angel season 5 episode 4 this week and hot dang are there a lot of ghosties in here! Hopefully the recently incorporeal Spike is safe from their spectral machinations. Luckily, he knows that Fred has his back, and Angel...well, he is slowly coming around to having Spike's back. It's baby steps between our favorite brooding boys. Time to tap into our newly acquired resources and flex a little! Thanks for listening
Aug 3, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 5 episode 3! This week, the menu is exceedingly peculiar. Angel is determined to save a newly minted werewolf in need of a champion after she garners the attention of a small group of eclectic eaters. Can the crew pool the resources they need to intervene and do good from within the belly of the beast? Thanks for listening!

Jul 27, 2023

It's Angel season 5 episode 2 this week and everyone is still coming to grips with Spike haunting the office, even Spike. Well, maybe haunting is the wrong word. He isn't a ghost according to Fred, but he is DEFINITELY not alive. It's a genuine mystery and we have the infinite resources of an evil corporation at our disposal. Sounds like a match made in hell. Thanks for listening!

Jul 20, 2023

We are all the way in Angel season 5 episode 1 this week, establishing the new status quo. Gunn would probably like the use of Latin given his new position! But a big question is...who is [REDACTED]? It's not Harmony, but also, hey harmony. Lets find out and thank you so much for listening!

Jul 6, 2023

Season 4 of Angel is in the bag! Come join the hosts and discuss character arcs, missed opportunities, predictions, and more. Thank you to all the lovely listeners out there who sent in questions. We will catch you in a week with season 5 episode 1!

Jun 29, 2023

Welcome to the season 4 finale! After ending world peace (I swear it's not how it sounds), the crew is treated to a little surprise for their efforts. They get executive level jobs at Wolfram & Hart! (Ok, really, I swear it's not how it sounds). What does this nefarious corporation have in store for us though. I guess we will need to wait until season 5 for that one...assuming season 5 exists. Thanks for listening!

Jun 22, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 21! After his trip across the multiverse to kick butt and take names (literally and figuratively), our hero is ready to take Jasmine down a notch. Unfortunately, Connor stands between Angel and the power that was. Will it be patricide or infanticide? Thanks for listening!

Jun 15, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 20, folks! This week, the gang is on the run from Jasmine's brainwashed population. We end up underground with a motley crew of survivors and a spooky spider demon with a penchant for blood magic. Luckily, said demon also knows a VERY important secret. Thanks for listening and remember to submit wrap-up questions!

Jun 8, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 19! Jasmine, our immaculate lord and leader, is spreading her influence like a virus....a serene virus. If only Fred could keep her blasphemous nose out of our burgeoning eutopia, the world may finally find peace. Maybe someone should do something about her? Thanks for listening!

Jun 1, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 18! This week, Stas is thrust into a completely new POV, but, is it really? We don't know the answer but we do know that Jasmine was born just a few minutes ago and already looks a lot like Gina Torres. No wrinkley baby skin or anything. Luckily, we all LOVE our new god...leader....person. We love her and nothing will ever change that. Thanks for listening!

May 25, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 17! This week, we get the dirty deets about Cordi's heel turn. If exposition isn't enough to wet your appetite, we also have an impossible birth via virgin sacrifice. Now, kneel before the baby! Thanks for listening.

May 20, 2023

Join us for the biggest SECRET EPISODE of Pop Culture Role Call! This is the behind the scenes of the roller coaster ride that is Cordelia’s evil Season 4 arc. Join Stasia as she tries to piece together the who/what/why of her character during the episodes of S04E13 - S04E15 of our podcast. Thanks for listening.
