Popular culture

Then we'll do open lines.

Actually, I'm hoping that we do Ron from Texas with Pop Culture Friday today.

So that's also important.

But I just thought that it was a pretty good reflection because I don't remember hardly any outrage in Langford in terms of that.

Have a good day.

We'll take a quick break.

I think we're doing Pop Culture Friday with Ron from Texas coming up, if he calls in.

If not, we'll go straight to open lines at 250-386-1161.

Mm-hmm

... pop culture and-

Right

... loves all of these references and the things that we're seeing here.

Comic books, manga, uh, um, you know, Star Wars cinema.

It's not just one type of art when you talk about narrative art.

It spans tons and tons of formats, tons and tons of artists, tons and tons of areas and, and parts of, of pop culture and not so pop culture.

So I, I, I would say to those critics, you know, all you're doing is, is you're downplaying a fellow artist and that's not cool.

Ron, where are you? We don't have Ron on the board yet, so Ron from Texas.

When he calls in, whether it's today or whenever he calls in, we'll do Pop Culture Friday.

We missed it because we did it last week.

We hadn't done it in a long time, and I was hoping that it would be a weekly thing now.

What's up, world? I'm Cameron McKinney, and this is Pop Culture's Fall By Day podcast about the movie Tony.

Here's a quick synopsis.

Aspiring writer Tony Bourdain, upset he didn't win a fellowship, follows his crush to Cape Cod, and gets a job in a kitchen.

Some of my favorite movies of all time are biopics, but other times I can find it really tiring.

Thankfully, Tony is one of those movies I really did enjoy, and I felt like I got something out of it.

Thanks for listening to this edition of Pop Culture Spotlight.

I'm Cameron McKinney and there'll be a new episode of the podcast every Thursday on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

I highly recommend you check out Tony.

Tell me something.

So there were a lot of also pop culture references, which I personally enjoy.

Some people don't like it because they think it can age the book.

Other times, I think it fully just encapsulates the entire time period that we're reading it in.

that what's going on.

So I do like that as well.

I like pop culture references as well.

Okay.

So that's what it turned into, man.

So Pin My Ride was, regardless of how people view it or what it was, it was a prominent pop culture that can't be duplicated, but there's no lack of them trying.

You know what I'm saying? Right.

That's true.

getting ready as soon as you're getting ready to hit it super out of nowhere like this

come on man

like so actually another question how does it feel to be a part of so much pop culture video game right pimp my ride like being the dude i'm not gonna say that made it but the dude who somehow right place right time bitch i'm here you knocked it out of park but you said you said something in another rhyme of yours it says great you got here but the hard part is to remain here or something like that how does that feel to be a part of so much stuff pop culture wise And you have your own meme.

You remember you were memed.

So the more students we get from different majors and different ways of thinking, the more productive and interesting and engaging a class is.

That would be a good segue to talk about classics in popular culture.

Before we went on the air, you were mentioning some that I guess I didn't know were based on classics.

Yeah, I mean,
