“The following takes place between 12AM and 1AM on the day of the California Presidential Primary. Events occur in real time.”
Robert, Jordan, and Joe return in our 72nd episode of the podcast to bring you a brand new episode in the S1E1 series. We traveled back to 2001 to watch the very first episode of the hit television series “24” starring Kiefer Sutherland.
We go over our initial thoughts on the pilot episode, covering what worked for us and what didn’t. We discuss the attention to detail and the format of the show, along with the behind-the-scenes production woes as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We analyze Jack Bauer as the protagonist, discussing whether or not he’d be considered a white savior. We also talk about the first impressions of other characters, including Kim, Terry, Nina and Tony. Joe and Robert theorize on the story threads that were introduced, and we hear if they’re interested enough to continue the show!

“Do you like scary movies?”
Robert, Jordan, and Sarah are back to discuss the 1996 slasher "Scream"! Directed by Wes Craven, Scream would go on to completely revitalize the genre and even got a few sequels out of it. So with the recent release of the fifth installment, the Pop Kannon crew decided it would be a great time to travel back to the mid-90s and talk about the original!
We go over what worked for us, including subverting expectations with the beginning of the film, the acting, the way Ghostface gets his ass kicked, and the meta approach the movie takes. We also cover some things that didn't work for us, including the use of anamorphic lenses affecting the image quality, the music, and the internal logic of the killer and his plan!
So pull the phone closer and listen carefully as we take you through our thoughts on Scream!

“I'm not here to ruin anything. I'm just going to kill Barton, have some appetizers, and then I'll go.”

We bring up the MCU's decision to ret-con Clint's hearing loss and whether or not it's a fair representation of the Matt Fraction book that heavily inspired the series. We talk about the side characters a bit, and praise the inclusion of the LARPers and Yelena for bringing new life into the show when it needed it most.

“I’m not bad. I’m just drawn that way.”
Since everyone is talking about Multiversal possibilities, we decided to travel back in time to 1988 and watch the original Disney and Warner Bros. crossover event; “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”!
Jordan, Robert, Paul and Joe gush about the groundbreaking film directed by Robert Zemeckis. We discuss the depth of the characters such as Eddie Valiant and Roger Rabbit, how Jessica Rabbit is a perfect femme fatale, the strenuous filmmaking process, and how the team wound up hand-drawing over 80,000 individual frames of animation to complete the film. All this and MORE in our review of the classic “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.

"Are you sure you want to do that, Mr Whitman?"
Marvel's Eternals have finally made their appearance in the massive Marvel Cinematic Universe. Robert, Jordan, and Joe ventured out to their theaters to check it out, and in the 66th episode of Pop Kannon, the guys spill their guts about the 7,000 years the Eternals spent on Earth.
In this episode, we dig into the diverse cast and complex characters, including the relationship between Sersi & Ikaris. We ponder whether or not this movie fits in with the rest of the MCU, if the humor was effective, and we debate if it was a good idea or not to reference DC Comics characters. We also comment on the mid and post-credits scenes, and theorize about the future (and past) of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

"So what? No fuckin' ziti now?" With the release of the prequel film "The Many Saints of Newark: A Sopranos Story" upon us, we decided now would be the best time to go all the way back to the year 1999 and continue our S1E1 series with THE SOPRANOS. Join us as Robert, Jordan and Sarah discuss the massively successful HBO original series written and directed by creator David Chase.
Jordan and Sarah give their first impressions of seeing the show, while Robert reflects on his first exposure to it and how his opinion has evolved after seeing the show through twice. We break down the character of Tony Soprano and talk about the way the show treats anxiety and depression. We discuss the decision to try to ground the show in reality by highlighting the relationships between Tony and his immediate family, praise some of the filmmaking techniques used, and if the pilot episode was enough to sell us on the series! All this AND MORE in another special S1E1 episode of Pop Kannon!
