Ep 222: The Lobby (Holy Hot Takes)

Plans changed. Our guest couldn't make it, so we did what any reasonable podcasters would do: We threw open the doors to The Lobby for a full-length Hot Takes edition. Listeners brought the heat with questions about books that should've stayed books, movies that deserve a reboot, sequels that ruined the original, and whether Taylor Swift is overrated (Cody had thoughts). We talk Clive Cussler's missed movie franchise, why Dave won't watch animated shows, the Indiana Jones-sized hole in pop culture, and whether fans or studios do more damage to the things we love. Plus a rapid-fire agree-or-disagree bonus round that includes Baby Yoda slander, Ted Lasso discourse, and the question of whether Harrison Ford has been phoning it in since 1997. We close it out with a conversation about Batman, the legacy of Frank Miller and Alan Moore, and why dark and gritty isn't always the answer. Holy Hot Takes, Batman!https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod
