About hEaD Pop

Formally of, At The Gates of Pop Culture, With Rareeddie1. Still the same great podcast with me, Rareeddie1. Same format, the same humour, and poking more fun at the woke entertainment industry. The ongoing battle between "woke" players, big studios, shady producers, and major corporations trying to buy pop culture influence, has turned into a culture war. On one side, there are people like us who just care about good stories, without the influence of tick-box agendas being forced upon us through films, pop culture, comics, video games, and more. On the other side, bad actors are trying to influence everything we enjoy and consume, while we just want to be entertained. As entertainers, we should be able to escape the daily grind of politics, but unfortunately, we are constantly being pushed with political agendas from the minute we wake up to the minute we go to bed. Some of us just want to enjoy a good story without any political influence, but when creators say things like "If you don't like my politics, don't buy my book," it's frustrating, Enough Already let’s try and tear it down from the outside of the Gates. Let's go!

   hEaD PoP #80, British Food Wars, Flags Humble Me, Frieren's Magic & The Boys Finale

   Serving hot takes hotter than a Sunday roast and about as controversial as ranking one. Welcome to hEaD Pop Episode 80! This week I'm diving fork-first into the Great British Meals War as I rank some of Britain's most iconic dishes in a no-holds-barred tier list battle. Will fish and chips defend its crown? Will the mighty Sunday roast steamroll the competition? Or will a dark horse emerge from the gravy-covered shadows to claim victory? There can only be one champion! Next, I put my geography skills, or lack thereof, to the test with a world flags tier list quiz. What started as a fun little challenge quickly became a humbling reminder that the world is a big, beautiful place filled with fascinating countries... and flags that all seem suspiciously designed to make me look silly on camera. Then it's time to journey into the incredible world of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. A show packed with adventure, emotion, laughter, regret and some genuinely beautiful storytelling. From epic magical encounters to quiet moments that hit right in the feelings, this series kept me hooked episode after episode and reminded me why great storytelling can leave such a lasting impact. After that, I take a look at The Mandalorian & Grogu and ask the question many fans seem to be asking: can this be the project that gets Star Wars back on course, or is Disney preparing another expensive lesson in how not to steer a galaxy far, far away? Grogu is adorable, Din Djarin is cool, but even Baby Yoda can't carry an entire franchise in his tiny little space pram forever. Finally, I wrap things up with The Boys. What did I make of the latest season? Did it deliver the outrageous action, shocking moments and dark humour the series is known for, or did it leave me feeling a little underwhelmed? Whether you loved it or thought it was just okay, there's plenty to discuss. S o grab your favourite snack, get comfortable and join me for another episode packed with laughs, hot takes, tier lists, pop culture chaos and the occasional complete lack of flag knowledge. Sit back, relax and enjoy hEaD Pop Episode 80! 🎙️🍿

   hEaD PoP #78, One Punch Man Season 3 EP1, The Rock Deserves an Oscar and Tron Deserves a Timeout!

   Episode #78, One Punch Man Season 3 HYPE & Episode 1, The Smashing Machine review, and The Rock delivers actual acting, Box Office Drama, Tron, Ares struggle, #RIPdoctorWho, and 90s cartoons Tier List & Tucker’s infamous tear list TIER LIST CARNAGE! A huge Thank you to Tyler W K, Big R and Chris T, hEaD Pop Legends! Welcome back to hEaD PoP – Where Sanity Takes a Backseat and Pop Culture Gets Body-Slammed. We’re asking the big questions this week: Is Nintendo okay? Should Snow White start a GoFundMe? In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos: One Punch Man Season 3, Is it a glorious comeback or just another punch in the gut after Season 2? The Smashing Machine, The Rock delivers actual acting (yes, you read that right). Mark Kerr might just be his best role yet, and we’re not kidding when we say “Oscar-worthy.” Tron: Ares, the opposite of The Rock’s performance. No spark, no soul, no point. We wanted neon glory; we got a reboot with the emotional depth of a loading screen. And finally, we’re ranking the ultimate 90s cartoons, a nostalgia-fueled war zone of opinions, childhood memories, and pure chaos. (Also featuring Tucker, who has triggered the host beyond belief. You’ll understand soon enough.) Grab your snacks, hold onto your nostalgia, and prepare for takes hotter than a malfunctioning GPU. Also checking in with Tucker’s lists to see if either of us has managed to emotionally scar the other. (Spoiler: probably yes.) Plus, we aim for Tucker’s tier list of questionable life choices (okay, maybe just games). And we’re gearing up for next week’s legendary Tier List Maker throwdown, and yes, your hot takes are invited. It’s snark, speculation, and cinematic mayhem all topped off with just enough sarcasm to make you wonder if we actually like anything. This is hEaD Pop, where nostalgia, anime hype, gaming redemption arcs, and sarcastic chaos collide. Buckle up. This isn’t just a podcast, it’s a brain-melting, heart-thumping, mushroom-powered joyride through the madness of our times. All this, plus tangents, sarcasm, and enough pop culture snark to fill a Lego Death Star. This isn’t just a podcast, it’s the gladiator arena of pop culture, where movies are judged, studios are mocked, and only the strong franchises survive. Strap in. All this, and a pop-culture-fueled rollercoaster of sarcasm, screaming, and suspiciously strong opinions, only on hEaD Pop. Because if your head's not popping, are you even paying attention? It’s a pop culture demolition derby. A rollercoaster of unfiltered opinions, cinematic rants, and emotional breakfast debates. Hit follow on your podcast app of choice.
