Popped: A Pop Culture Podcast

Pixar's brand new movie, 'Turning Red' has just hit Disney Plus, and it's getting some really good reviews. But as usual, I'm here to DESTROY those reviews and explain to you why this movie is overrated and doesn't really hit the mark it sets out for.

Today we got the reveal of the brand new Pokemon games, Pokemon Violet and Pokemon Scarlett which is really exciting. We also got our first look at the new starter Pokemon: Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly. And, well, they SUCK.  Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/radiomike See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The long awaited sequel to 2020's 'Sonic the Hedgehog' is finally here. This time, Sonic is joined by his pal Tails and foe Kunckles to take on Dr. Robotnik again. So is it any good? Here's my full review on Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/radiomike See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How I Met Your Father (HIMYF) is a spin-off of How I Met Your Mother. It was in development for a long time and is finally out. So is it any good? Many spin-offs are generally terrible... but this one isn't actually that bad.  Want more?

Got an amazing opportunity over the summer to work on the production of Andy Lee's (Hamish & Andy) new TV series, The Hundred. The Hundred sees one hundred ordinary Australians on Zoom to answer Andy's biggest questions... like how many of them have cheated on an exam? Or how many have been in a plane crash? I was lucky enough to be a script producer and writer/researcher on the show, and wanted to chat about my experience and how it all happened.

Today, news broke that HULU is officially bringing back one of my favourite shows: Futurama. Futurama has been cancelled and renewed more times than I can count (actually, it's 3), but it'll be back for 20 episodes, with many of the original voice actors, like Billy West returning. That being said, John DiMaggio, the voice actor for Bender, might not be coming back! But I'm still excited.

The current controversy around Joe Rogan & Neil Young has really interested me. And to be honest, I'm mixed on how I feel. I don't think Joe Rogan should have to filter his content to pander to a demographic that aren't his fans. And I don't think Neil Young's Spotify boycott is as noble or valiant as made out to be.

The newest Disney animated feature, Encanto, is one of the most overrated and worst Disney films I've seen in a long time. It emphases Disney's yearning to create a success similar to Frozen but fails on almost every front. Here's why.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a totally new game in the Pokémon series that introduces brand new gameplay styles. But as always, there are a bunch of new Pokémon, and new forms for existing Pokémon, and in this video, I review all of the best (and worst) of them!

Netflix's new star-studded film, 'Don't Look Up,' is one of the most extraordinarily accurate pieces of social satire I've seen in a very long time. Reflecting real world issues of politics, capitalism, climate change and celebrity culture - 'Don't Look Up' offers an uncomfortable but hilarious satirical look at modern society.

Alex & Mike are back for their Game of the Year discussion episode! Find out their top 3 games of 2020. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike and Alex wrap up the first season of Popped with a discussion of some of the most famous, divisive season finales to hit TV - Seinfeld and How I Met Your Mother's series finales. But before they can do that, they need to discuss their week and what they've been up to. Filling in time, the boys have fell into some comfy games of Super Smash Bros Ultimate or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as well as picking up the Online Pokemon TCG and Super Mario Sunshine. Alex also needs to rave about his favourite album of the year, I Disagree by Poppy.

Radio MIke and Stage Four Alex brave the new normal by doing the same thing they do every week - discussing their last week's media consumption. Mike's been playing Smash Bros (when has he not!?) and taking a listen to the brand new Taylor Swift album Folklore. Alex has been gaming hard - Paper Mario: The Origami King, Halo: Combat Evolved on PC and Skater XL - but also somehow found some time to check out Last One Laughing on Amazon Prime. Quite the packed week, the two then still manage to discuss Pokken Tournament on Nintendo Switch going Free To Play for a limited time! Stay home & stay safe everyone

Radio Mike & 20Alex celebrate 20 episodes of POPPED in 2020! In this milestone episode, the boys talk about the recent Xbox presentation, as well as the bizarre and confusing Scooby Doo prequel film, 'Scoob!' which Mike watched over the weekend. Alex has been playing Paper Mario and the Origami King, and doesn't think it's that bad, and Mike is raving about Child of Light on the Switch.

Radio Mike and Glass Boy Alex muse on music, argue about games, analyse anime and more, this week on your one stop pop-culture podcast, Popped!! This week, Mike's been playing Donkey Kong Country and as a result the boys end up discussing Donkey Kong's family tree for longer than anyone really should. He's also been watching Digimon Tamers, which leads the two down yet another rabbit hole about their childhood shows. Alex catches up with the new DMAs record and has a new album by illuminati hotties to recommend. Finally, there's a new game trailer doing the rounds for a game titled "Gamer Girl" and unsurprisingly it's not being received well.. so of course Mike and Alex need to weigh in.

Radio Mike and Alex Auditore da Firenze board the Magic School Bus and go on an excursion into this week's Pop Culture atmosphere. Keeping the boys in this week are brand-spanking new albums - The Glow by Aussie dream-rockers DMAs and Jump Rope Gazers by crunchy power pop rising stars The Beths. Mike also has to address a recommendation that Little Witch Academia is better than Harry Potter (Spoiler Alert: It's not). They're also starting a new weekly discussion segment, with topics suggested by listeners! This week: "Which is better, Banjo Kazooie or Banjo Tooie?"

Radio Mike & Alexman.EXE take on the world of Anime Merchandising through the lens of their childhoods. Mike also follows up on his dental hygiene improvement efforts with Pokemon Smile. Mike's also been playing Shovel Knight and is loving the perfected platforming it offers. Alex ended up loving Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga despite its reviews and decided to give yet another Open World game another chance, even if he knows it's futile (Assassin's Creed Origins). Finally, Min Min finally released as the newest addition to the Smash Bros roster, so they've got some initial impressions.

Join Radio Mike and "Wrong" Alex on their 16th consecutive week of what is shaping up to be quite the fortnightly podcast. This week, Alex has been listening to Geelong rockers Beans, who have just put out their latest record, "All Together Now". Mike has found yet another potential album of the year with HAIM's wonderful "Women in Music Pt. III". (What will it be next week?!). Margot Robbie is likely the lead in a reboot of Pirates of the Caribbean, which sidetracks the guys onto a discussion of DisneyLand... and there's also plenty of gaming news to discuss, including Pokemon Unite (a mobile MOBA) and the latest Super Smash Bros Ultimate DLC Fighter - Min Min, from ARMS!

Psychic Mike and Just Alex dive deep this week on two new albums. Mike explores the legendary Bob Dylan's late-career wonder and Alex checks out a 60's pop-rock effort from Melbourne's own Leah Senior. There's of course HEAPS of gaming news to cover too - a new Kingdom Hearts canon spin-off rhythm game was announced, the new Pokemon Sword & Shield DLC is out, a new Crash Bandicoot game is set to be announced soon, and there's also a new...

Join Radio Mike and Squadron Leader Alex as they head out on a wild journey into the unknown. Who knows what's in store? You will, if you listen to this week's episode! Mike's been playing Okami HD, Alex has been catching up with Mike's recommendation of Nick Murphy/Chet Faker's album Built On Glass, checking out 51 Worldwide Games and (as usual) been playing Sea of Thieves.

Alex Finishes A 25 Year Old Game - Radio Mike and Ball Park Alex have been rapidly absorbing media this this week. On the music front, the new Ball Park Music track "Day & Age" hit the scene and Alex is a huge fan, while Mike has been checking out the new shadow-dropped Nick Murphy (FKA Chet Faker) EP "Cassette 2 (350 Made)". Games-wise, Alex has been trying the new competitive shooter "Valorant" from Riot Games and Mike gets competitive on the couch with puzzle-game "Dr. Mario". And finally, as well as from following up on "Lady Gaga" and "Space Force", Alex has finally finished the cult hit Super Nintendo RPG "Earthbound" over the past couple weeks and has "a non-trivial amount to say about it and the series".

Winter has begun and Radio Mike and Sideshow Alex have loads to talk about. With the PS5 set for a huge unveiling soon, the boys speculate what they might see and what the it means for the next few years of gaming. Meanwhile, Mikey's been playing Crash Team Racing to smash out all the time trials and Alex has been experimenting with Ring Fit Adventure. Also out this week is the new Netflix series Space Force and Lady Gaga's new album Chromatica! And finally, it's perfect soup weather, so what's the update with the Cup Noodles "sponsorship" drive? Note: This episode was recorded and uploaded prior to the delay of Playstation's PS5 event and contains some now-inaccurate statements about the timing of the event. Sony's decision was to hold back and let more important voices be heard at this time. One of the most important things any allies can do at the moment is educate ourselves, listen to those hurting and their needs, and let their voices be heard. #BlackLivesMatter  Follow us on Instagram: Popped: https://instagram.com/poppedpodcast Radio Mike: https://instagram.com/radio.mike Alex: https://instagram.com/alexdia25   Follow us on Twitter: Radio Mike: https://twitter.com/itsradiomike Alex: https://twitter.com/alexdia25   Subscribe to Radio Mike on YouTube for more Pop Culture content! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcI19uvfSBznpT14R-0A8HA?view_as=subscriber Listen to Radio Mike's comedy podcast ‘20th CENTURY BOY' https://omny.fm/shows/20th-century-boy/playlists/podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Radio Mike and Cold Alex take a trip to the year 2019 to talk about The Lion King live-action remake and compare it to the original. Mike brings them back to take a look at the new Charli XCX album inspired by 2020 self-isolation. The boys then reach back to discuss the history of Justice League and why the new Director's Cut is more than a normal cut. Finally, Mike brings the boys into the Digital World with a discussion about the nostalgic bliss of Digimon Adventure Tri.   Follow us on Instagram: Radio Mike: https://instagram.com/radio.mike Alex: https://instagram.com/alexdia25   Follow us on Twitter: Radio Mike: https://twitter.com/itsradiomike Alex: https://twitter.com/alexdia25   Subscribe to Radio Mike on YouTube for more Pop Culture content! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcI19uvfSBznpT14R-0A8HA?view_as=subscriber Listen to Radio Mike's comedy podcast ‘20th CENTURY BOY' https://omny.fm/shows/20th-century-boy/playlists/podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike's put down the controller on Final Fantasy VII Remake and picked up Assassin's Creed: Odyssey for the time being. He's also been catching up on (and loving!) Better Call Saul. The boys enter a discussion on the use of water in video games and how swimming mechanics are almost always negative, while Alex goes into detail about his feelings on Tony Hawk's upcoming gaming endeavour as well as the newest Paper Mario game! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Popped Team dissect and critique the debut solo album from Paramore's Hayley Williams, 'Petals for Armor,' which has an experimental and mature sound that the guys enjoy. Alex is delving into Trials of Mana, which opens up a discussion on what really makes a good remake. The Last of Us II has been completely ruined due to leaks, which leads Mike & Alex to talk about the nature of leaks and whether they are positive or negative.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now this is Podcasting! Radio Mike and Darth Alex expand the Popped lore by banning themselves from playing a game FOREVER. There's music to discuss and a new Super Mario Maker 2 update to explore before the boys argue over some controversial video game opinions and the art of music criticism.

Radio Mike & Alex have a big week this week: The past comes back to haunt them, multiple fights to the death, and more remakes than ever. Mike digs the new Birds of Tokyo album and learns to connect with other humans he'll never meet in Journey while Alex attempts to uproot the social order with a new review scale and talks up the new Fiona Apple. Connecting over Final Fantasy but arguing over Battle Royale and The Hunger Games.. more going on than you'd think possible. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alex is still chipping away at Final Fantasy VII, while Mike has been playing a bit of Civilization VI, as well as the HD 'remake' of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, which Mike describes as a relentless cash grab. There's a Seinfeld game in the works - and Alex isn't very happy about it. Plus, The Strokes have a brand new album out, and it's pretty good! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike thinks there are too many weapons in Doom Eternal and, despite loving the game, he complains about getting too confused and bewildered. Maybe Mike is just bad at games. Alex has been playing the Final Fantasy VII Remake and has nothing negative to say about it. Isolation has led Mike to play old-school PC real-time strategies online, but he and his cousin have decided to ban certain styles of play because they get too annoyed with them. The DualShock is officially erased from the PlayStation 5, replaced with the bizarrely coloured DualSense, and COVID-19 continues to be a general dick, causing problems for every industry, including pop culture. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Popped is recorded without their usual live studio audience. Alex takes Social Distancing a bit too seriously while calibrating his microphone, leading to some seriously questionable audio quality. Mike uses his extra time at home to catch up on the latest films like The Invisible Man and Birds Of Prey, and finishes Luigi's Mansion 3. Meanwhile, Alex gushes about starting and finishing Doom Eternal before they both discuss the latest Nintendo Direct news. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Radio Mike, the Master of Unlocking, HATES Dreams, LOVES Luigi's Mansion and has a secret he wants to reveal. Alex sees Pixies and narrowly avoids COVID-19. And what happened with the Triple J Hottest 100 of the Decade? Join the Popped duo this week as they try not to talk about Sonic, Sports, and other otherwise-valid pop culture topics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nintendo Switch is three years old! And it feels like it's still so relevant and fresh in popular culture. The boys reminisce on their favourite Switch games including Breath of the Wild & Super Mario Odyssey, and speculate on the future of the Switch and the remainder of its lifespan. Alex finally saw the Sonic the Hedgehog Movie and he has a lot to say about it. Meanwhile, Alex has been playing Wolfenstein 2, and Mike wants to talk about the Wii U Gamepad, and all the problems with Star Fox Zero.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the first episode of Popped! Alex has been playing The Witcher 3, quite possibly the first book series to ever skip the movie adaptation and go straight to a game adaptation instead. Mike explains why he hates big, open world, story-driven games and prefers to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online every day for one hour instead. The boys chat their music tastes and rant about two of their favourite topics: the terrible mismanagement of Sonic the Hedgehog & the convoluted storylines of Kingdom Hearts.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
