Popular Opposites
Arts & Culture Podcasts
Is it possible to be best friends with someone, even though your opinions on pop culture are completely opposite? What else are you supposed to talk about? Popular Opposites pits best friends Shannon, who likes fantasy and sci-fi, against Taryn, who likes rom coms and reality TV, as they try to figure out ways to talk to each other about the pop culture they love, and the lives they live. Each week, Taryn and Shannon will alternate picking a movie or TV show that they love, and they'll see if they can get the other one on board. It'll take a little yelling, a little more wine, but that's what you get when you're POPULAR OPPOSITES!

Through the sheer graciousness of their hearts, Taryn and Shannon let their producer Ryan choose the topic of the show! Ryan was tasked with finding the thing that fits directly in the middle of dorky Shannon and schmaltzy Taryn's Venn diagram, and he came up with The Iron Giant! The first animated movie the two have watched, it's up to Taryn and Shannon to see if...

The Monster Squad
On an all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn and Shannon battle it out over The Monster Squad!
It's Shannon's turn to choose the movie, and it's the 1980's classic The Monster Squad. Taryn has never seen it before, so she doesn't have the nostalgia for it that Shannon has...does that mean it's impossible for Taryn to love it? Is this just a movie that exists for Taryn's kids, and not Taryn? Or will Shannon's love AND nostalgia shine through and show what...

Four Weddings and a Funeral (2019)
On an all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn and Shannon battle it out over the television show Four Weddings and a Funeral!
It's Taryn's turn to choose the war grounds, and she chose Four Weddings and a Funeral! Despite being a newer show, it has all of the classic tropes of the romantic comedies of the 80's and 90's. Thanks Mindy Kaling!!! It's obvious why Taryn bought in, but will Shannon feel the rom-com heebie-jeebies and start...

Game of Thrones
On an all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn and Shannon battle it out over Game of Thrones!
It's Shannon's time to choose, and although we don't have elves, it's definitely not Taryn's cup of tea. Can Taryn be swayed by the political intrigue and...romance(?) to ignore all of the dragons and dungeons and whatnot? Or did Shannon leads us down a path of doom, where THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED FANTASY STORY IN THE HISTORY OF THE GENRE is still poo-pooed for...

About Time
On an all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn and Shannon battle it out over About Time!
It's Taryn's time to choose, and she has a doozy this week. Romance, comedy, Brits, McAdams...About Time has it all. Well...it has everything that Taryn needs, and that Shannon hates. Does Bill Nighy have what it takes to make About Time watchable for Shannon, or is this going to be a terrible experience? The Dynamic Duo cover every aspect of the movie, from the time travel...

Stephen King's It
On an all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn and Shannon battle it out over Stephen King's It!
Shannon is up to bat, and she has decided to force Taryn to watch Stephen King's It. Taryn thought that a couple of early-90's episodes of The X-Files were scary...will she be able to handle this movie about a scary clown? Or will they both think it's super funny, and then make fun of Producer Ryan because he gets way more scared than they do? They also tackle...

This is Us
Taryn and Shannon battle it out over This is Us!
On an all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn is tasked with defending her pick, This is Us! After a disastrous outing, with Shannon hating Taryn's My So-Called Life, Taryn takes another shot with a more modern drama. This goes a lot better, as your co-hosts break down the cast and characters, and discuss male vulnerability from all possible angles. All of that, and so much more, including MORE LISA FROM DIRTY...

My So-Called Life
Taryn and Shannon battle it out over the 90's sci-fi show The X-Files!
On an all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn is tasked with defending her pick, My So-Called Life! Shannon is a 90's kid, who used to be (and still is) full of angst, so this should be a perfect pairing, right? They watch a couple of episodes, and discuss Claire Danes as an actress, Angela's treatment of her mother, how Rickie is the best part of the show, how Jared Leto is the worst...

The X-Files
Taryn and Shannon battle it out over the 90's sci-fi show The X-Files!
After Taryn got Shannon to admit last week that she liked Dirty Dancing, Shannon forces Taryn to watch one of favorite shows of all time: The X-Files. Shannon chose two first season episodes to discuss, Squeeze and Beyond the Sea, because they focus on the budding relationship between Scully and Mulder. Because Taryn likes romance...so that should work, right? Unfortunately, she also...

Dirty Dancing
On the all-new Popular Opposites, Taryn and Shannon discuss whether or not Taryn is right about liking Dirty Dancing!
Welcome to Popular Opposites, an all-new podcast that tries to figure out if it's possible for best friends to stay best friends, even if they like different types of pop culture! The answer is probably no, but let's see anyway! On the very first episode, Taryn forces Shannon to watch Dirty Dancing, which is a movie that has romance...
