    HOT TAKE: Best X-Men Team: 80s Outback X-Men vs. Morrison's New X-Men

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    We're breaking again from new episodes this week, but don't worry, we'd never leave our fellow mutants stranded without a Cerebro signal to follow. Instead, we're dusting off a Hot Take from our Best X-Men Team Line-Up episode, originally released on May 13, 2025 as part of our Season 11.

    This argument features a very special guest, AJ LoCascio, the voice of Gambit in X-Men '97 on Disney+, joining our panel for a debate that's more heated than the Dark Phoenix Saga. In this clip, two legendary mutant squads enter the Danger Room, but only one survives the bracket: Grant Morrison's New X-Men versus the Outback X-Men.

    It's evolution versus revolution, psychic power versus sheer grit, and enough mutant mayhem to make Professor X ask everyone to please stop using their powers indoors. So grab your favorite yellow spandex, or black leather, if that's more your vibe, because it's time to find out which roster is truly uncanny.

    If you enjoyed what you heard, be sure to check out the full Best X-Men Team Line-Up episode in our podcast feed for even more mutant-sized debates, or visit greatpopculturedebate.com for dozens of other pop culture showdowns.

    We'll be back next week with an all-new, all-difference summer episode!

  • Best Heist Film

    Best Heist Film

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    Heists have been a part of cinema since at least 1903, when The Great Train Robbery became one of the most successful movies of its time. There’s something intrinsically compelling about people stealing things – the thrill of transgression, the desperation that leads to the act, the anxiety of getting caught. Heist films have changed tremendously over the intervening 120-plus years, but the best of them still retain that sense of excitement and danger, and in many cases have us actively rooting for the thief to win. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Heist Film of all time – at least until mid-2026, when we’re recording this.

    Movies discussed: Ocean’s 11 (2001), Baby Driver, Reservoir Dogs, The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), Heat, Inception, The Italian Job (2003), Point Break (1991), Three Kings, The Great Muppet Caper, Inside Man, Jackie Brown, Dog Day Afternoon, Now You See Me, A Fish Called Wanda, The Town

    Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD Panelists Karissa Kloss and Kevin Dillon, and special guest panelist Paul Caiola from the That Aged Well Podcast as they discuss and debate 16 of cinema’s most memorable heist films.

    HOT TAKE: Best Disco Song: "Dancing Queen" by ABBA vs. "Le Freak" by CHIC

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    We’re taking a short break from new episodes this week, but we didn’t want to leave you without a little something to listen to. Instead, we’re bringing you a Hot Take from our Season 4 Best Disco Song episode, initially released in September 2021.

    In this clip, panelists Eric Rezsnyak, Karissa Kloss, Gary Jackson and Derek Mekita square off over two dance floor classics: ABBA's "Dancing Queen" and Chic's "Le Freak." One is an irresistible pop masterpiece withstanding generations, while the other is a funky, bass-driven anthem that helped define the disco era. BUT only one can move forward in the bracket.

    If this clip leaves you wanting more, check out the full episode in our podcast feed—or head over to greatpopculturedebate.com for more pop culture showdowns.

    Best Woman-Led Comedy Film

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    While women have been featured in comedy films since the beginning of the motion picture, around the 1980s, studios seemed to realize: women are funny, and women can be big business.

We want to celebrate these funny ladies, so join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Woman-Led Comedy Film from 1980 to 2025.

    Movies discussed: Legally Blonde, Miss Congeniality, Clueless, Sister Act, 9 to 5, Mean Girls, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Death Becomes Her, The Devil Wears Prada, Pitch Perfect, Charlie’s Angels (2000), Bridesmaids, A League of Their Own, Easy A, First Wives Club

    Science fiction has been part of television since at least the 1950s, when “Lost in Space” and “Star Trek” gave us charmingly quaint visions of what the future could look like. By the dawn of the 21st Century, technology had caught up to creators' visions, leading to a Golden Age of genre television.

    Stevland Hardaway Morris – better known to the world as Stevie Wonder – signed his first record deal at age 11, and scored his first Billboard No. 1 by age 13. He transitioned from child musical prodigy in the 1960s to one of the most influential artists of the 1970s and 80s, bringing jazz, r’n’b, reggae, and funk into the mainstream, and having a major hand in bringing synthesizer sounds into mainstream music, and he became the first black artist ever to win the Grammy for Album of the Year.

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    It’s the year 2026, and while the LGBTQ community is under attack politically and socially, we remain blessed when it comes to queer representation on our TV screens – at least for the time being. Even 20 years ago, we couldn’t have conceived of how accepting the small screen would become, with gays, lesbians, bi, and trans folx appearing not only in series created specifically for them, but hes, shes, theys and thems being included as featured characters in mainstream hit series. We may be living in the Golden Age of queer TV, or we may just be getting started in the era of inclusivity. Either way, join the Great Pop Culture Debate for its 2026 Pride Special as we attempt to name the best LGBTQ TV Series, at least up until 2026.

    TV shows discussed: Schitt’s Creek, Heated Rivalry, Queer as Folk (2000), Modern Family, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, The L Word, Trixie Motel, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Torchwood, Heartstopper, Pose, Will & Grace, The Real World, Angels in America, Looking

While Kylie has had numerous breakthroughs in all of the last five decades, her 2023 dance-pop track “Padam Padam” became one of the biggest hits in her nearly 40-year career, proving that we still can’t get Miss Minogue out of our heads.

  • Best Stephen Sondheim Musical

    Best Stephen Sondheim Musical

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    It is not hyperbole to say that Stephen Sondheim was among the most important creative voices in 20th Century American musical theater. From the 1950s through to the 2020s, he wrote the lyrics, music, or both for some of the most critically and commercially successful shows of our lifetimes. Sondheim’s shows are beloved not only for their incredibly catchy songs, but also for their insightful stories exploring the nature of art, history, and most importantly, the fragile and fault-riddled human condition. Though we lost Mr. Sondheim in 2021, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back on his works as we attempt to name the Best Stephen Sondheim Musical of all time.

    Musicals discussed: Sweeney Todd, Saturday Night, West Side Story, Merrily We Roll Along, Passion, Sunday in the Park with George, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Assassins, Pacific Overtures, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Anyone Can Whistle, Gypsy, Follies

    Best "The Simpsons" Episode (Season 1-Season 10)

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    “The Simpsons” began as crudely drawn sketches on The Tracey Ullman Show on the then-nascent Fox Network in 1987. Two years later, it spun off into its own show – the first primetime animated series to air since “The Flintstones” in the 1960s. “The Simpsons” became an unexpected hit, and Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie became one of the most iconic families in television history, as well as a massive pop-culture property that would spawn clothing, toys, music, amusement park rides, video games, and more. The series is still going strong, with 37 seasons, more than 800 episodes, and a second major motion picture set to arrive in 2027. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we eat many shorts, have many cows, and attempt to name the best “Simpsons” episode from Season 1 through Season 10.

    Episodes discussed: “Kamp Krusty,” “The Springfield Files,” “Mr. Plow,” “A Streetcar Named Marge,” “I Love Lisa,” “Two Dozen and One Greyhounds,” “Bart vs. Australia,” “Itchy & Scratchy Land,” “Bart Sells His Soul,” “Homer’s Enemy,” “Marge vs. The Monorail,” “A Fish Called Selma,” “Homer at the Bat,” “A Milhouse Divided,” “Cape Feare,” “Flaming Moe’s”

    In 2006, the United States had a wildly unpopular Republican president, was embroiled in a pointless war in the Middle East, and was heading straight toward a major economic crisis. Sound familiar? But at least 20 years ago we had some amazing music to make those terrible times at least somewhat more enjoyable. Belting pop-rock ballads.

  • Best 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Episode

    Best 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Episode

    · Great Pop Culture Debate

    The TV series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” aired 144 original episodes from March 1997 to May 2003 on two now-defunct TV networks, the WB and UPN, which would ultimately merge to become the CW. That’s fitting, because “Buffy” essentially provided the blueprint for the bulk of what would air on CW – and other teen-skewing networks – for decades to come. There were teen dramas before “Buffy,” and there were supernatural dramas before “Buffy,” but there were no real teen supernatural dramas before this series. Now there are more teen supernatural dramas than there were vamps emerging from the graveyards of Sunnydale, California.  While showrunner Joss Whedon’s legacy has become complicated, as a series “Buffy” still deserves its cemetery flowers. So join us as we go back to the crypt and attempt to unearth the best “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” episode of all time.

    Episodes discussed: “Once More, With Feeling” (S6 E7); “Tabula Rasa” (S6 E8); “The Wish” (S3 E9); “Chosen” (S7 E22); “The Gift” (S5 E22); “Bad Girls” (S3 E14); “Band Candy” (S3 E6); “Doppelgangland” (S3 E16); “Hush” (S4 E10); “Something Blue” (S4 E9); “Becoming Pt. 1” (S2 E21); “Becoming Pt. 2” (S2 E22); “The Body” (S5 E16); “The Prom” (S3 E20); “Prophecy Girl” (S1 E12); “Graduation Day Pt. 2” (S3 E22)

    Join host Eric Rezsnyak, Joelle Boedecker, Karissa Kloss, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most legendary episodes of the original “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” TV series.

    For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional “Buffy” episodes that didn’t make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.
