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.

Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al watched the 4-part British crime series that’s become #1 in 80 countries, breaking Netflix’s records for an original series. And man, was it a bummer. But important!
We reflect on the purpose of the show, its one-take-per-episode format, the choice of whose perspectives to show, the crazy good acting by such a young person, and we get a little education about incel culture. How have things changed since we were kids?
Read the show’s one bad review on Rotten Tomatoes. Why is the show filmed as one take? Watch how it’s done.
Follow us @law_writes, @sarahlynbruck, @MarkLinsenmayer. Al does not want you to follow him, you degenerate kids!
