Episode 113 - West Side Story (1961)
June 04, 2022 21:21Crimes Against Pop Culture On this episode of Crimes Against Pop Culture we delve into the seedy parts of 1950's New York. Where Sharks and Jets are two opposing forces that snap their way through a fight. If you are into musicals, we think you will enjoy this one. It can be a bit heavy handed at times and some of the subject matter hit's a bit close to home even today. I do have to let you know that during the podcast, when we come back from watching the movie the sound quality take a b...
Episode 112 - The Fly
November 19, 2021 03:12Crimes Against Pop Culture Happy Boovember! We only recorded one episode for the month of October so we decided to carry the scary over to November and then we said that we might as well come up with a cool sounding name and Boovember was born. Although I'm not sure if anyone else has thought of it so let's just say we are borrowing it for now. On this Episode of CAPC, Gerry and I watch, "The Fly". A horror classic with some very disturbing imagery. If you have a weak constitution then I...
Episode 111 - Carrie
October 23, 2021 16:18Crimes Against Pop Culture Happy Halloween! Well not for another few days but it still is October and in honor of this horror filled month, we decided that we should watch some scary movies. We start it off with a bang and watch "Carrie" from 1976. This hour (?) classic comes from the twisted mind of Stephen King and is directed by Brian De Palma. This is another classic that passed Gerry by and apparently myself as well because I did not remember anything about this movie. I could have sw...
Episode 110 - The Sound of Music
October 08, 2021 17:39Crimes Against Pop Culture On this episode of CAPC, Gerry steps out of his comfort zone and chose a musical to watch. Although he did chose a classic, I don't know if it will be enough to change his mind on the art of musicals. We go on to have a meaningful conversation about the darker side of the world's history and get a little emotional. Then we get Gerry's take and opinions on our one and probably only musical.

Episode 10 - Rocky V
September 09, 2021 18:37Crimes Against Pop Culture Let's get ready to jibber-jabber! On this week's episode, Gerry and I watch and discuss "Rocky V." I have to say that I have watched some shitty movies in my day, but this comes really close to winning the WME (Worst Movie Ever) title belt. Listen as we rant about the plot holes, the aging of a favorite son and why one character looks older than when he was killed off. We also contemplate the Latin translation of a certain spherical body part. As with all the...
Episode 9 - Rocky IV
September 02, 2021 04:17Crimes Against Pop Culture Another week, another "Rocky" movie. The showdown is here! USA vs Russia, Rocky vs Drago! This week Gerry and I take a look at "Rocky IV". The cold war is in full swing and so is Pro-USA propaganda. Find out which one of our lovable characters doesn't make it to the end of this Boxing Drama.

Episode 105 - Citizen Kane
May 12, 2021 23:29Crimes Against Pop Culture This is it. The very first episode back from our long hiatus. After Gerry nagged and nagged, day and night, day in and day out, week after week and month after month. We sat down and recorded a new episode. If you didn't read the subtitle, the movie we discuss on this episode, is "Citizen Kane". The movie that is considered the granddaddy to all of the movies.

January 26, 2016 05:18Happy Halloween! On this special episode of Crimes Against Pop Culture we watch Candy Man in honor of one of my favorite days of the year.

Episode 100.1 - Bonus Rocky Horror Picture Show
May 26, 2015 00:23Good afternoon everybody. This is a special episode of Crimes Against Pop Culture. After recording episode 100, a friend of the podcast, Kevin Cable (who has been on a couple of previous episodes) wanted to throw in his two cents. Kevin was unable to join us for the original recording of episode 100 or the trip down to Zensinitas but he wanted to share his thoughts on the awesomeness that is the Rocky Horror Picture Show. So that does it for me. Take a listen and enjoy. Ricky Listen Here! ...
EPISODE 100! THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!
April 02, 2015 13:09Today, Crimes Against Pop Culture reaches a very important milestone: 100 episodes! That's right, we have hit the century mark! It only took us well over a year to complete this momentous occasion. It also took Gerry and I some planning but we were able to set a goal and accomplish it. For those of you who have stuck around, thank you! I know our fan base is very small but we hope that we have provided some hours of fun while at the same time sprinkling some knowledge of movies into your brai...
Episode 99 - Rudy
August 27, 2014 02:29This is episode 99. Only one more and we reach 100. I can't believe it's almost been 100 episodes. We probably could have gotten here a little sooner but I've been lazy and not wanting to record. On this episode, Gerry gets in touch with his inner athlete. It took us a while but we finally found it. Cause if there is one thing Gerry and I aren't, it's athletic. So sit back, relax and listen as Gerry and I run some patterns. Ricky Subscribe to iTunes!

Episode 97 - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
March 28, 2014 07:26Howdy, pardners! We're back with another root in', tootin', gun-shootin' episode! We go back to the well a little bit with this one, as it's another in the series of Sergio Leone-Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. I gotta say, though, I think this one's my favorite of the bunch, and I believe Ricardo conquers. We enjoyed watching this movie and yappin' about it, so take a listen, won't you? Furthermore, I really enjoyed editing this episode, so much so that I got a little creative with t...
Episode 96 - Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
February 20, 2014 06:02We are getting closer and closer to that elusive episode 100. Once we hit that mark, we become syndicated and that's where the money is. Wait, what? That's only for TV shows? What the fu.... Welcome back everybody! This is Crimes Against Pop Culture and this is episode 96! On this special episode Gerry gets to watch a British classic. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels! A Guy Richie fan favorite from 1998. Listen up real close. Some of the segment bumps have been updated. Ok, all of them h...
Episode 95 - Despicable Me
February 07, 2014 07:16This is it! Our last old episode before we get back to recording new ones! I'm stoked. A lot has happened since we last recorded and we can't wait to tell you all about it... if we remember. But, for now, here's this episode. It's "Despicable Me" and, guess what? We have guests! We chose to watch this because we wanted to see it before we went to watch Part 2. Yeah, that's how old this episode is. Anyway, we had a great time recording it, so we hope you enjoy it just as much. Stay tu...
Episode 94 - Lethal Weapon 2
January 29, 2014 06:36Discount impunity! Wait that doesn't seem right. It's been a while since I've written one of these blugs. Damn, I did it again. I meant "blog". Anyway, episode 94 is here and it's getting too old for this stuff. The last time we dropped in on our intrepid duo, they were shooting shit up and catching bad guys. This time around the dynamic duo is shooting shit up and catching international bad guys. Aha. In case you haven't guessed or didn't bother reading the title, we are watching "Lethal Wea...
Episode 93 - RoboCop (1987)
January 17, 2014 07:18"Dead or alive, you're listening to this episode!" Uh... wait a minute... On second thought, let's just stick to "alive." Hello, everyone! Gerry once again. We're slowly (very slowly) getting back on track, and here's the next episode we had in the works. This time, it's "RoboCop" from 1987. Now, this episode is a little different in that I wasn't sure if it was this film or its sequel that I had already seen. As such, it turns out that this is the unofficial debut of an idea Ricky an...
Episode 92 - American History X
November 08, 2013 07:56Whattup, peeps? Gerry here. We're really cookin' now! New episodes coming out fast and furious! Ummm… no, that doesn't mean we watched "The Fast and the Furious" for this episode. Anyway, Ricky finished putting this one together and I'm posting it. Yes, a collaborative effort. Sometimes, we're able to put our differences aside and work together for the common good. No, that's not a lofty claim; WE'RE CHANGING THE WORLD HERE!!! On this episode, we watched one of those rare movies that...
Episode 91 - The Highlander
November 06, 2013 06:16Huzzah! Another fun filled episode with your hosts Gerry and Ricky! It's only been like 9 years since our last post. Ok, maybe not that long but we have been on one heck of a hiatus. Most of you didn't notice but there was one lone voice that requested more episodes. Starting with this episode, most of what you will be hearing will be pre-recorded and yes most of it will be prior to 2013. So there may be some dated references but hey at least it's new content. Soon Gerry and I will up and run...
Episode 90 - Ocean's 11
August 30, 2013 06:13Summer's winding down, people are returning to work after vacations, the kids are going back to school... What better way to get back into the swing of things than with a brand new episode? This week, we lay out the blueprints and explore the inner workings of "Ocean's 11." Now, we're saving the original for a future date, since neither Ricky nor I have seen that one, so no Frank Sinatra impressions quite yet. I know, I know... try to contain your disappointment. Anyway, we'll watch that...
Episode 89 - Conan the Destroyer
July 12, 2013 06:52Wow. Seriously... how could a movie franchise go so wrong on the second installment? Oh, wait... I guess that's not that uncommon... Or perhaps "Conan the Barbarian" (which I have seen, BTW) wasn't all that great to begin with? No, that can't be true; I will not allow my precious childhood memories to be dashed upon the rocks in such a fashion. Either way, we consider this one a must-see, if for nothing else than to round out your "Conan" experience. Worth it? You be the judge! If not...
Episode 88 - Memento
July 12, 2013 06:10What was I going to do here...? Oh, yeah! I'm supposed to world-premiere an all-new episode of "Crimes Against Pop Culture!" This week's episode is "Memento," a film about a guy with short-term memory problems. That's right, Ricky got his own movie! Bazinga! Seriously, though, this is one honked up movie and I'm still not sure whodunit or what really happened... but who cares? Both Trinity and Cypher are in this flick, and this one doesn't suck! Don't forget to send us some feedback; ...
Episode 87 - This Is Spinal Tap
June 28, 2013 04:35Get ready to turn it up to ELEVEN!!! [cue electric guitar wail] Gerry here. Hey, have you missed us? It's been a while but now we're BACK! Yes, we've been on a bit of a sabbatical (again) from recording and (apparently) from editing and posting. ;) Love ya, Rick! In actuality, we have several episodes "in the can," as they say, and we'll get them out... eventually. However, we are pleased to announce the debut of Episode 87... "THIS... IS... SPINAL TAP!" As a self-professed music-ph...

Episode 85 - The Natural
March 08, 2013 05:03March Crazyness! Sorry I couldn't use madness because it's probably trademarked and I don't want to get sued. So a quarter of the year is almost over and here you are about to listen to yet another gem of an episode. On this episode of CAPC, Gerry and I watch "The Natural" starring the dreamy Robert Redford. He is so hot! Well, he used to be. We also welcome a familiar voice to the show, Carolyn "The Judge". Yes folks she is back to wreck havoc. So take a few practice swings and listen to th...
