As a fan of NPR’s #PCHH, I always enjoy when Barrie Hardymon joins the show. And twice in one week? That’s an extra special treat!
Y'know, some of us just listen to @lindaholmes.bsky.social and @ghweldon.bsky.social to understand the antecedents of #HeatedRivalry. #NPR #PCHH. But sure, ignore people who are literally experts in sports romance novels and/or gay media.
@ghweldon.bsky.social murderbot!!! ftw!! #pchh
@lindaholmes.bsky.social the residence!!! ftw2
In my ongoing efforts to detoxify my commute listening, this morning's episode of #pchh was both a fun listen and question.
My nominees: Iggy Pop's Lust for Life, The Who's Baba O'Riley, and There She Goes (both The La's original and the Sixpence None the Richer cover).

@idislikestephen.bsky.social loved the shoutout to The Spinanes on #pchh today! As a music lover in Seattle in the 90s they were on my playlist and I got to see them live at club shows. A great callback!
@ghweldon.bsky.social Thanks to you and the #pchh gang for a great Jaws episode! I saw it last night for the very first time and thought it was terrific. And on your 3 types of masculinity, I think Brody is the "hero dad" type that Spielberg would look for in so many later movies.
Adam dressed as the 1989 Batman for Halloween.
@lindaholmes.bsky.social @aishaharris.bsky.social @idislikestephen.bsky.social based on what @ghweldon.bsky.social said on the time capsule episode of #PCHH today, I had to share this photo of the Batman costume my Gramma made me!
A listening rec: Thursday’s #PCHH with @aishaharris.bsky.social and friends talking about the quintessential pieces of Y2K pop culture (which they defined as ~ mid-1997 to just before 9/11). They all had great picks and reasoning and I’ve been thinking about what I would’ve chosen. So ... 1/2

This is SUCH a great idea for a feature, and such a terrific conversation. @ghweldon.bsky.social's pick is the most on-brand Glen thing to ever grace #PCHH.
#PCHH
One of the things I like best about Pop Culture Happy Hour is when somebody just totally enthuses about something they love. @aishaharris.bsky.social talking about Chicago the musical is just delightful!
I like the movie fine, but hearing an absolute fan gush is super endearing.

I look forward to Friday's #PCHH newsletter for links like this: Architectural Digest took a tour of @npr.org's Tiny Desk set. Nice to hear from the people behind the show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka1D...
I live for my new episodes of Pop Culture Happy Hour and this M3GAN 2.0 ep? Chef’s kiss 🤖💅
I enjoyed the first movie, and Glen Weldon’s humor? Unmatched. He could narrate my life, and I’d be honored.

@idislikestephen.bsky.social I just listened to my first #Annahstasia songs after seeing your "making us happy" rec in the #PCHH newsletter. THANK YOU for introducing me to the loveliest moments of my day (maybe the whole week). You've made me a fan.🎶
What movie quotes are in YOUR lexicon? @aishaharris.bsky.social @npr.org drops this gem on Filmspotting: "Why do we even have that lever?” (Emperor’s New Groove)
She & Adam share more & also revisit "Clueless"
Listen: www.filmspotting.net/episodes-arc...

I love #pchh, but the episode on #thepitt dramatically undersold the series. It’s the most invigorating show of the year, and I’m pretty sure it will hold that position for a while. Kinetic pacing and subtle character development – these matter. @npr.org
I think the best #onehitwonder is Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen

After this weeks Pop Culture Happy Hour episode and the Chicago Reader review, it is fascinating seeing reviews of #TheBrutalist that don't include the word "Jew" anywhere in them. #pchh
Thank you @idislikestephen.bsky.social at #PCHH for expressing my own frustration at "One Hit Wonder" lists that include bands that had more than one hit, or were huge elsewhere! My biggest peeve is Madness, with 2 US top 40 hits and a zillion in the UK.
@ghweldon.bsky.social Read today's #PCHH newsletter and I agree with you 100% on the chosen way to deal with artists who turn out to be more than disappointing. I can't change how enchanted I was with their work, but I can and did delete all his unread books from my tbr.
@lindaholmes.bsky.social #PCHH #2024PopCultureFaves
His characters have it rough but #KyleGallner had 4 movies come to theaters/streaming. #Smile2 #MotherMayI #ThePassenger & my fave: #StrangeDarling. Unpretentious but doing all the baring of body, mind & soul of more critically acclaimed actors.
I wasn't sure what it was. It is a new part of Spotify Wrapped. Definitely prefer the real thing on #PCHH!
I thought it was an anime import. 😂 Thankfully I listened to Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR and they did an episode on it and I learned it was not that. I hope to start it today. #InteriorChinatown. #PCHH
I'm always going to help the #PCHH crew out with a repost.
On @npr.org’s "Pop Culture Happy Hour," the panel & I discussed Netflix's #EmiliaPerez —a new musical about a Mexican cartel boss who disappears from the criminal underworld to create a new life as a woman. Listen here or anywhere you get your podcasts: www.npr.org/2024/11/13/1... #pchh
NPR's #PCHH (Pop Culture Happy Hour) crew did an ep recently about "YouTube Rabbit Holes That Are Great Distractions." Mine is people "reacting to Chappell Roan." The "vocal coach reacts" is my fave subgenre of that. Love people expressing what I don't have words for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=owHa...
