About The Kulturecast
Movies don't happen in a vacuum — they shape the culture, and the culture shapes them right back. The Kulturecast lives in that feedback loop. Each week, host Chris Stachiw — the Doctor of Podcasting — sits down with a rotating table of guest co-hosts to dig into a film, a filmmaker, or a corner of pop culture and trace how it moved the needle, and how the world moved it in return. Less "was it good," more "what did it do — and why does it still matter?" Expect deep dives, long conversations, sharp takes, and the occasional tangent worth taking. It's a show for people who love arguing about movies almost as much as watching them — and after more than 700 episodes since 2014, we're still arguing. The Kulturecast is a proud part of Weirding Way Media, and home to two series within the feed: Required Viewing: A 360° Film Study, with media scholar Dr. David D. Perlmutter Kulture Meltdown, a crossover with Bryan Renfro of Movie Meltdown, posting on both shows' feeds Plus regular crossovers with Mike White's The Projection Booth. New episodes weekly.

KC × TPB: Digger (2026) — "When all else fails, you hit 'em with the truth. Hit 'em with the hard truth."
Published 6 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Again, I think Bo is Afraid is a very good comparison to this film, not in terms of subject matter. But maybe in terms of subject matter, I mean, Boa's Afraid is a story about a man with anxiety having, again, like a nervous breakdown and kind of the interior monologue of that. And this movie gets to that point. But there is some like unreality in that movie that Ari Aster really does a good job with. And I think that Ineratu does a great job with the unreality at the end of this film, too, when they're on the oil rig, which just it's. it becomes kind of like a horror. I mean, it's like, it's, it's horrifying. […]
