Episode notes

On this week’s episode, Guy sits down with the newly assembled Pop Rocket gang and welcomes Karen Tongson to the team! In honor of her arrival, they discuss reboots; and the conversation gets heated! We find out the differences between reboots, remakes, and reimaginings. We also find out what everyone’s favorite reboot is, who has done it best, and why Americans aren’t good at making versions of British shows. And we find out, as we do every week, what everyone’s current jam is, and what they’re all about.

With Guy Branum, Wynter Mitchell, Karen Tongson and Margaret Wappler

That’s My Jam:

Margaret Wappler – Your Best American Girl-Mitski

Guy Branum – Christmas Is Coming-Miss Piggy

Wynter Mitchell – Randy-Justice

Karen Tongson – Babe-Styx

Each week we’ll add everyone’s jams to this handy Spotify playlist.
