Happy New Year from Inside Pop! We start 2018 off with reviews of two highly anticipated premieres- Lena Waithe’s new Showtime series, The Chi and the season premiere of Black Mirror on Netflix. Then, IMDb Special Correspondent Dave Karger joins us to discuss some of the films that may have been overlooked in 2017. Plus, we share our Pop Culture Resolutions for the year and Sean presents a unique Big Sell to Amita.

Episode notes

Did you resolve to put more time and energy into staying on top of the best pop culture stories of the week? Lucky for you, The Pop Insiders are here to help you keep that resolution with our brand new episode!

First, we give our spoiler free reviews of the new Lena Waithe Showtime drama – The Chi (please feel free to listen and then correct our pronunciation of the title of this show) and the first episode of the new season of Black Mirror.

Then we speak with IMDb special correspondent and frequent Today Show awards commentator – Dave Karger – about the movies of 2017 that may not be front-runners for the big awards, but are definitely worthy of your attention. From Detroit to Wonderstruck to Downsizing, Dave will tell you why you should give these flicks a second – or maybe first chance.

We also share our pop culture resolutions for the new year and hold each other accountable for how successful we were in keeping our 2017 resolutions.

And the Big Sell returns – Sean recommends (wait for it) a new new age song (nope that isn’t a typo) to start Amita’s year off on an optimistic and blissful note.
