Tim and Max Solve All The Problems With Popular Culture is STILL the newest podcast in the stable of subetheric continua that is the Geek Syndicate Network. The podcast aims to do exactly what it says on the tin – young buccaneers Tim Swann (@tetrarchangel on twitter) of Psycomedia (psycomedia.wordpress.com) and Max Barnard (@maxy_barnard on twitter) of You Must Hear This (imustreadthis.com) identify a key area where popular geek culture falls down and then try and come up with some ways that both the creators and the audience can fix it. In our fifth episode, we discuss subtext, both where it clashes and merges with the text, when the sun hasn't gone to our heads, at least. We also plan Swanncon 2012, picture George Lucas telling Kevin Smith to shut up, plot global population realignment and still find time to highlight the continuing ridiculousness of Marvel Comics.

In our fourth episode, we discuss money, all the songs inspired by money, and we won't tell you any more until you pay us exorbitant fees. Topics of discussion include the grand battle of whether Dollhouse is a good show, the treachery of Michael Bay, the band 10cc, and Tim spends most of the episode pretending he's married to Jennifer Morrison.

In our third episode, we discuss mediocrity, hopefully without being mediocre. There's unavoidable Lucas and Spielberg chat, trying to force stuff into franchises, the problems with properties that sell no matter what, and inevitable preludes to the next episode, which will concern money. We might have been bothered to throw in some solutions, since that's what the franchise demands.

In our second episode, we discuss hypersexualisation, and how the great and the good can fall down (at least in Tim's fragile mind and innocent eyes) by sex getting in the way of their art, and the bad can make everything worse with their impact on sexuality in and out of the arts. But don't worry, there are solutions too! Harry Potter fan-fic features more than you might like.

In our first episode, we discuss fear of change, and how both the audience, the creators and their bosses all fall foul of this fear. In the course, we discuss the New 52 (because you haven't had enough of that yet!), panel shows, the joy of Star Trek XI and The Clone Wars TV Series, and why changing to include basic human decency might help everyone out.
