We’re taking a short break from new episodes this week, but we didn’t want to leave you without a little something to listen to. Instead, we’re bringing you a Hot Take from our Season 4 Best Disco Song episode, initially released in September 2021.

In this clip, panelists Eric Rezsnyak, Karissa Kloss, Gary Jackson and Derek Mekita square off over two dance floor classics: ABBA's "Dancing Queen" and Chic's "Le Freak." One is an irresistible pop masterpiece withstanding generations, while the other is a funky, bass-driven anthem that helped define the disco era. BUT only one can move forward in the bracket.

If this clip leaves you wanting more, check out the full episode in our podcast feed—or head over to greatpopculturedebate.com for more pop culture showdowns.

We’ll be back next week with an all new debate, but until next time, remember, everyone’s entitled to their wrong opinion.

While women have been featured in comedy films since the beginning of the motion picture, around the 1980s, studios seemed to realize: women are funny, and women can be big business. Over the past four decades, some of the sharpest, wittiest, most bonkers films have been centered on – and in some cases created by – women. We want to celebrate these funny ladies, so join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Woman-Led Comedy Film from 1980 to 2025.

Movies discussed: Legally Blonde, Miss Congeniality, Clueless, Sister Act, 9 to 5, Mean Girls, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Death Becomes Her, The Devil Wears Prada, Pitch Perfect, Charlie’s Angels (2000), Bridesmaids, A League of Their Own, Easy A, First Wives Club

Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Amma Marfo, Joelle Boedecker, and Maggie Hartman as they discuss and debate 16 of our favorite women-centered comedy movies.

For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional women-led films that didn’t make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Science fiction has been part of television since at least the 1950s, when “Lost in Space” and “Star Trek” gave us charmingly quaint visions of what the future could look like. By the dawn of the 21st Century, technology had caught up to creators' visions, leading to a Golden Age of genre television. Series celebrated by critics and embraced by audiences with their mind-blowing imagination and, at their best, critique and comment on the human condition, even as they chronicle society’s intersections with technology, time, and space. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Sci-Fi Television Series from 2000 to 2025.

Shows discussed: “The Expanse,” “Firefly,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Star Wars: The Mandalorian,” “The X-Files,” “Star Wars: Andor,” “Westworld,” “Star Trek: Voyager,” “Doctor Who,” “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” “Black Mirror,” “Orphan Black,” “Stargate SG-1,” “3 Body Problem,” “Foundation,” “Fringe”

Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Kara Austin, Victor Manibo, and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 of the most influential science-fiction TV series of the past 25 years.
