Pop Culture Crisis

Pop Culture Crisis is a daily entertainment news show from Timcast Media, hosted by Brett Dasovic and Mary Morgan. The podcast positions itself as a counterpoint to mainstream entertainment coverage, offering commentary on Hollywood, celebrity culture, and the entertainment industry from a perspective that often pushes back against prevailing media narratives. Episodes drop almost every day and run around two hours, giving the hosts plenty of room to dig into multiple stories per sitting. The show covers a broad range of topics — Grammy ratings, Disney corporate shake-ups, animated series releases, celebrity controversies, and box office performance all get regular attention. Brett and Mary take a conversational, opinion-driven approach, reacting to headlines and clips in real time rather than delivering scripted segments. The daily frequency means the show stays current, often covering stories the same day they break. With over 730 episodes since its 2021 launch, Pop Culture Crisis has built a substantial archive. The show frequently features guest appearances that bring in additional perspectives, and the longer episode format allows for extended discussion that shorter shows have to skip. The production comes through Timcast Media's infrastructure and is straightforward — mostly studio conversation with occasional clips and visual references for the YouTube simulcast. For listeners who feel that mainstream entertainment media has become too homogeneous in its viewpoints, Pop Culture Crisis offers a daily alternative that covers the same stories from a different angle.
