Pop Culture and the Pea Brains

Listen as we delve into the background of the obscured horror movie Little Shop of Horrors and recount how it went from obscurity to worldwide recognition on the Broadway stage!

Yes. Yes he is.

This week, we're starting a multi episode series of horror movie discussions. This episode, we're discussing the 1990s horror classic, Scream!

This week, we're talking about working at summer camps, both our good and not so good experiences.

This week, we're talking about everyone's favorite frozen fiend from the DC universe. No, not Mr. Freeze! Captain Cold!

After a two month hiatus, PCPB starts back on Season 2 with long talks of summer camp! Crunch your cocoa and drink your s'mores, everybody! We're back! (Also sorry for the computer fan noise for the CPU fan in the first bit of the episode)

Coming in a little late in the schedule, we're talking about mortgages, credit, leases, and all the things Dad Carson knows about.

I have a cough. It's not noticeable during the episode. Also returning Jedi. That's cool

It's a sad day in the Carson household. Today, we buried Lucas (or Lukey Book) after a decade and a half of life. He was the best dog and we can only hope he's not in pain anymore. This isn't a funny episode, but we wanted to take time to appreciate the pets we've had in our lives...

It was my Bret's 23rd birthday yesterday! Oh, and this week we're talking all about The Empire Strikes Back!

Instead of The Empire Strikes Back, we chat about cars because I (Bret) just can't seem to catch a break (pun intended)

What's better than episode about Easter candy? An episode about healthy eating! It's Dr. Keto time!

Warning - This episode contains a lot of music theory discussion. You've been warned...

In our thirtieth episode spectacular, we discuss the Awful Waffle House and how many times we've eaten there (spoiler: it's a lot)

The title is a pun on radio waves because Frequency is a film about a dad

Dad has only ever seen the first Star Wars film. We start slow reviewing the classic film Star Wars as we begin the trek through the ENTIRE saga.

This week, we're discussing a cult horror classic from the 80s and all of our hot takes on how the acting is bad, the score is good, and a claw hand is a terrible weapon!

We're snowed in...so we're talking about Snow, Icebreakers, and other cold-related topics. This was definitely our first take...

In this episode, we're talking money science (economics)

This episode, we're embracing our innate nerdiness and discussing one of the edgier Robins in the DC Universe: Jason Todd aka Red Hood.

In our sauciest episode, we talk about Ketchup/Catsup among other things (mostly just sauce)

We're talking about Beetlejuice. Enjoy

In this episode of PCPB, we're talkin' the progressive rockband Rush! If only we knew what a “Rush” was...

In our 20th episode, we're talking TV shows, classic and modern!

Before we start, I just want to wish you guys a Happy New Year! Additionally I'm sorry for the falloff in audio quality halfway through. I'll be more vigilant in the future! Anyway, Fire Emblem!

After several days of no episode due to a bombing in Nashville, we're back with our Christmas episode where we read the Christmas story, share our holiday traditions, and explain our plans for the future of the podcast!

We're one week away from Christmas, folks! Pull out those VHS tapes, your DVDs, your blu-rays, and your overly salted popcorn. Time to talk some more Christmas movies

We're two weeks away from Christmas! And three weeks away from 2020 being over! There's so much to celebrate!

Neither of us know what we're talking about this episode. Just listen to it with your ear holes. This is a train wreck. You're welcome.

We're returning to our teacher roots as we celebrate Thanksgiving...and getting a new microphone!

Get it? ‘Cuz my dad is cranky... and it's about Thanksgiving...I'll leave now...

Have ya heard of The Audio Amphitheater? If ya haven't, this episode will tell ya everything about it along with what's coming up very soon!

We're teachers. That's what this episode is about.

We've made it to double digits! Join Bret and Dad Carson on this super spooky episode of candy, costumes, and criminally under appreciated background noises!

Dad Carson has worked at THREE groceries! Why?!

Bret has had a few jobs. One involves roast beef, one involves wood, all involve the horrible, horrible public...

Join Trib and Roscoe in the exciting finale of their adventure against the evil Laudinus! Music credits to Whitesand, David Renda, and David Felsiyan

Dad Carson continues his antics as he asks Bret increasingly difficult questions. Oddly, we talk about Christmas for about half the episode...

Our adventure begins with Trib Talahoo and Roscoe Sacredstone traveling from The Leaking Barrel into the dangerous Forest of Dreams. Music credit to David Fesliyan for the combat music and Kevin MacLeod for the tavern music!

Dad Carson interrogates Bret with 10 questions of his own design ranging from favorite holiday to dream car. What could Bret possibly say? Something dumb probably...

Join Bret and Dad Carson as they make their DnD characters and get ready for the one-shot of a lifetime!

It's Football Week! And Bret doesn't know much about football. Guess it's time for Dad Carson to show him a thing or two about the ol' pigskin.

Welcome to Pop Culture and the Pea Brains starring Bret and Greg Carson, father-son duo! This week, Bret's going to teach his Dad about DnD 5e. He'll try to anyway...
