Our first ever guest returns for a fun minisode. Patrick Fowler joins us to count down our top 5 favorite members of Nsync (his idea). Full length episodes return soon. 

It's an unprecedented Nick-less episode because of a microphone mix up, but Topher still got to hang out with new friends from Chattanooga, Grace Holtz and Natasha Ferrier. They talk about many different topics including clowns, songwriting inspiration, and the fate of "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble." Even without Nick, this episode was a fun one to record! Sorry, Nick.

Mike Wuest stops by to talk about the great Bill Murray and his best movies. This episode was recorded on the stage at Art Bar and there were lots of people walking around with electronic devices, so please forgive the few spots of audio distortion in this episode. We also spoil the latest Star Wars movie.

John Gibson joins us to count down our favorite horror movies from the 80's. We also spoil the ending to Sleepaway Camp, so you may want to watch that before listening to this episode.

As our journey to a comedy show continues, we use this road trip to talk about the TV shows "The Flash" and "Arrow." This episode was recorded 3 episodes into the current season and contains spoilers for everything up to that point. We recommend that you watch the shows before listening.

Topher and Nick used a road trip to Greenville, SC to discuss the summer movies of 2015, the future of big budget Hollywood movies, and a few of the movies we were looking forward to seeing for the rest of the year. Recorded on Nick's iPhone in the car. Please excuse the sound quality.

Joe Coughlin returns to the show to talk about our favorite movie heroes. We also talk about Godzilla, Predator helmets, and Sesame Street. We recorded this one on the fly in an unfamiliar room, using back up equipment, so please excuse a few glitchy audio moments. It's still a very fun episode.

Wayne Cousins returns to the show (Two-peat, baby!) and we talk to him about our favorite movie villains.  We also talk about Mel Blanc, an alternate "Stand By Me" ending, and the new season of "True Detective."  Plus Wayne introduces his new catch phrase.

Our friend Phil "The Dolphin" Carter comes to talk with us about superhero movies, his recent introduction to Steve Martin movies, and we count down our favorite stand up comics.  Interact with us on social media and let us know your favorites and what our next topics should be.

Micah Goss stops by to talk about our favorite action movies from the 90's.  We also discuss the new Mad Max movie and the trailer for the abysmal-looking Point Break remake.

Derek Smith joins us as we talk about David Letterman's departure from late night, and we talk about streaming video services giving shows like "The Mindy Project" and "Community" a second chance.  We also discuss our favorite episodes of "Seinfeld."  Use social media to tell us what your top 5 would be and to suggest future topics.

Cool enough to be known by just his last name, Renedo joins us to count down our favorite post-apocalyptic movies.  We also talk about box office records, upcoming movies we're excited to see, and Nick reveals that he doesn't know the difference between actors and the characters they play.

In this episode we talk to Stef Benjamin about the new Daredevil Netflix series, the latest Star Wars trailer, the history of YouTube, and Seal. That's the singer, Seal. Yes, the "Kiss From a Rose" guy. We also share our lists of our top 5 Nickelodeon TV shows.

Joey Massaro joins us to countdown our favorite sports movies.  We also talk about 3D movies, the fact that Joey's dad has fought in every war ever, and "The Last Man on Earth."  Interact with us on twitter and facebook to suggest topics for future episodes and to share your own list of favorites.

We're joined by Joe Coughlin in this episode. We talk about some great new and returning TV shows, events in pop culture history involving Batman and R.E.M., and we count down our favorite vehicles from pop culture. Interact with us on social media to tell us your favorites and to suggest future topics.

Jenn Snyder came to hang out with us and we covered lots of different topics.  We talk about the Oscars, the Parks and Recreation finale, and we count down our favorite horror movie sequels.  Plus Nick reveals his feelings about Sandra Bullock.  Remember to suggest future countdown topics on twitter and post your top 5 on facebook.com/popculturepicks

Topher and Nick take a few minutes to talk about a man they grew up watching on television, the wonderful Leonard Nimoy.  With Topher and Nick being big Star Trek fans, the recent news that Nimoy has passed away was difficult...so this episode is just a small tribute to Mr. Spock, played by an actor who was an icon in the pop culture and science fiction community.  Thanks for the memories, Leonard.

Wayne Cousins joins us to talk about John Wick, the SNL 40th Anniversary, and we count down our favorite TV theme music. Special thanks to TelevisionTunes.com for being the amazing resource that we used to put this super-sized episode together. Tell us your top 5 on our facebook page.

We're joined by our friend, Patrick Fowler, to discuss what movies and TV shows we're currently watching, events from This Week in Pop Culture History, and we count down our top 5 favorite 80's movies. Post your own top 5 favorite 80's movies on facebook.com/popculturepicks 

It's the very first episode of Topher and Nick's Pop Culture Picks, hosted by Topher Riddle and Nick Mariner. In this introductory episode you'll hear a little about their pop culture influences and what the show's format will be for future episodes. This episode gets a little echo-y at times. Please forgive us as we're in the process of upgrading equipment.
