On Pretty Much Pop, a philosopher, an actor, and a sci-fi writer (often with entertainment industry guests) talk about media and how we consume it: TV, film, music, novels, games, comics, comedy, theater, podcasts, and more. Most of what (other) people like is pretty weird when you think about it, so thinking about it is what we do.

What is media criticism, and is that what we're doing? For our Season 3 finale (i.e. the end of PMP's 4th year of operation), your now officially official hosts Mark Linsenmayer, Lawrence Ware, Sarahlyn Bruck, and Al Baker turn their gazes fully toward their collective navel to think about what purposes are served by discussions about pop culture and how we can do it better.
We talk about our approach to choosing topics should be, when we want to have guests, what kinds of guests, and the potential need to come up with some sort of thesis to guide the discussion. What do you, the listeners, think about all of this? Let us know!
Follow us @law_writes, @sarahlynbruck, @ixisnox, @MarkLinsenmayer.
