For the past 50 years, composer John Williams has arguably been the defining sound of cinema. Although he began composing music for TV and film in the 1950s, it wouldn't be until the 1970s that he broke big, thanks to that iconic soundtrack to Stephen Spielberg's Jaws. From there he would go on to provide the music for a slew of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, and most poignant films, as well as recognizable anthems for pop-culture mainstays like the Olympic Games and NBC Nightly News. John Williams is an American icon, and a definitive creator in film and music. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best John Williams Film Score. Scores discussed: Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hook, Return of the Jedi, The Empire Strikes Back, Jurassic Park, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Home Alone, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Schindler's List, SupermanJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Derek Mekita, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most recognizable film scores of all time.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss even more compositions from John Williams that didn't make the bracket, ⁠become a Patreon supporter of the podcast⁠ today.Episode CreditsHost: ⁠Eric Rezsnyak⁠Panelists: ⁠Amma Marfo⁠, ⁠Derek Mekita⁠, ⁠Kate Racculia⁠ Producer: ⁠Bob Erlenback⁠ Editor: John HigginsTheme Music: “Dance to My Tune” by Marc Torch#johnwilliams #film #filmscores #composer #composers #orchestralmusic #orchestral #starwars #indianajones #harrypotter #superman #jurassicpark #jaws #homealone #hook #schindlerslist #savingprivateryan #empirestrikesback #imperialmarch #returnofthejedi #phantommenaceIG: https://www.instagram.com/greatpopculturedebate/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/gpcd.bsky.socialWebsite: https://www.greatpopculturedebate.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/greatpopculturedebateSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With rare exceptions, most television series want you to like their lead characters. They want you to identify with the lead, or invest in their journey, or find them charming or endearing. But it doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes lead characters start out well enough, and over time their flaws become harder to ignore, their behaviors increasingly maddening. Sometimes a lead is put forward as deliberately antagonistic to the viewer, as a kind of love-to-hate figure. And still other times, the creators of a show completely miscalculate how an audience will react to a character they themselves believe in. Over the past few decades, television has seen an explosion in deeply unlikable main characters. So join us as the Great Pop Culture Debate considers the Worst Lead Character in a TV Series. Characters discussed: Rachel Berry (“Glee”), Piper Chapman (“Orange is the New Black”), Ross Gellar (“Friends”), Kate Austen (“Lost”), Jerry Seinfeld (“Seinfeld”), Andy Bernard (“The Office”), Dr. Meredith Grey (“Grey's Anatomy”), Hannah Horvath (“Girls”), Carrie Bradshaw (“Sex and the City”), Ted Mosby (“How I Met Your Mother”), Sheldon Cooper (“The Big Bang Theory”), Alan Harper (“Two and a Half Men”), Dawson Leery (“Dawson's Creek”), Ally McBeal (“Ally McBeal”), Rory Gilmore (“Gilmore Girls”), Zack Morris (“Saved by the Bell”) Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Amma Marfo, Kara Austin, and Kevin Dillon as they discuss 16 of the biggest jerks to ever helm a TV series.

The Emmy Awards, which celebrate the best in television each year, have a tendency to favor the Drama categories – often seen as the more “sophisticated” or “prestige” projects. But from our perspective, the Emmy winners in the Comedy series are every bit as deserving, and in many cases, have contributed just as much to the cultural conversation as their more dramatic counterparts. That is especially true when it comes to the Emmy winners in the Outstanding Actress in a Comedy categories. Winners of those trophies, both Lead and Supporting, have become absolute legends, and the characters they played, literally iconic. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we look back on some of the very best women to win for funny business as we debate the Best Emmy Winner for Oustanding Actress in a Comedy Series. Winners discussed: Betty White (“Golden Girls”), Laurie Metcalfe (“Roseanne”), Estelle Getty (“Golden Girls”), Bea Arthur (“Golden Girls”), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”), Rhea Perlman (“Cheers”), Jean Smart (“Hacks”), Megan Mullaly (“Will & Grace”), Catherine O'Hara (“Schitt's Creek”), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Jean Stapleton (“All in the Family”), Lucille Ball (“The Lucy Show”), Mary Tyler Moore (“The Mary Tyler Moore Show”), America Ferrera (“Ugly Betty”), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Seinfeld”), Rue McLanahan (“Golden Girls”).

Since the basic cable debut of The Disney Channel in April 1983, the House of Mouse has used its family-oriented network to feature its best movie ideas that weren't quite ready for the silver screen. At first the films were released under the name “Disney Channel Premiere Films,” but since 1997, they have been released under the banner Disney Channel Original Movie – or DCOM – up until 2022, when Disney+ took up the mantle. Regardless of the term you use to describe these feature-length gems, they bring to the fore a feeling of intense nostalgia. Generations are defined by the DCOM movies of someone's particular childhood! As always, this led the Great Pop Culture Debate team to wonder...what is the Best Disney Channel Original Movie? Movies discussed: High School Musical, The Thirteenth Year, Twitches, Smart House, Zenon: Girl of the Future, Tru Confessions, Quints, Descendants, Cadet Kelly, Brink!, Teen Beach Movie, Halloweentown, The Cheetah Girls, Get a Clue, Zombies, Camp Rock.Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Amma Marfo, Bob Erlenback, Joelle Boedecker, and Trey Radu-Blackburn as they discuss 16 of the most-popular Disney Channel Original Movies.Play along at home by finding the listener bracket here.

Then we play the quick quiz with Speaker and Comedian, Amma Marfo!
