Is Pepsi Okay?

Trick or Treat? That's later today since we have a Halloween special for Is Pepsi Okay? Perry is joined by Gregory Chevette, Lead Synth of the Barbarian band Thunder Glove to talk renting horror movies at an early age, the Deathstalker films influence on Greg's band and previous halloween costumes of yonder before a deep dive into which little guy is preferable: Chucky or Leprechaun? We go into the history of each character, learn some interesting facts about Domino's, and get strapped in for some truly hot takes from Greg. Don't come for me with your pitchforks! We also talk about our favourites in the series and why on paper some of these characters are cool but maybe not in practice. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and/or SoundCloud.

Put the kettle on or take your cold brew out of the fridge for this week's Is Pepsi Okay? Perry has two guests for the first time and is joined by Writer/Legendary Meme Creator Anna Swanson and Writer/Director/Former Cineplex Talent Ben Gordon to talk saucy grandma slices, bonding over seeing Uncut Gems twice at a film festival, and not receiving meme residuals before answering the question: Hot or Iced Coffee? We delve deep into the history of coffee, how the oldest living cat drank it, how iced coffee came to be earlier than we may think, for both history and Dunkin's contribution to it (pre-Mcdonald's!) We also get into walking speeds with hot coffee and Anna has some major grievances that she airs regarding some not so iced choices at particular coffee spots.
