605: Pop Culture Tariffs
Update: 2025-04-30
Description
In this episode, we unpack the idea of pop culture tariffs. Join us as we explore the metaphorical tolls we pay when entertainment just won’t let something (or someone) go - we’re talking omnipresent actors, overused tropes about mildly broody acquaintances, and franchises that just won’t die. Plus, Knox shares his own rapid red lights.
