Popspotting #75: California Songs (June 22, 2011)
With less than a month to go until Comic-Con in San Diego, Jen is in a California state of mind. So going back to our “Pith of Pop” roots (the segment she used to do on HawaiiUP more than five years ago), we explore a musical Top Five for today’s “Wildcard Wednesday.”
Today she shares her top five songs about the Golden State. Her picks include Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and The Runaways. She’s even got a couple of runner ups!
Wikipedia lists hundreds of songs about California, so we know we’ve missed a few great ones in our list. Have you got your own favorites? And have you got a suggestion for our next top five theme?
Popspotting #74: Weeds (June 21, 2011)
Last week we talked about a series in which a devoted parent turns to illegal drug sales to make ends meet for the family. Why not continue the theme? For TV Tuesday, we discuss “Weeds,” a series on Showtime created by Jenji Kohan.
While the setup is similar, “Weeds” is almost the opposite of “Breaking Bad. quanox medicamento ” Whimsical, hilarious, shiny and sexy. It stars Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins, Justin Kirk, Kevin Nealon, Hunter Parrish, and Alexander Gould. sjk ivermectin youtube The seventh season begins June 27, 2011.

Popspotting #73: Ray Nicolette Double Feature (June 20, 2011)
This week, we take a break from the multiplex and dig into our movie collection to share our love for two great films: “Jackie Brown” and “Out Of Sight.” Both films feature a slimy ATF agent named Ray Nicolette, and are adapted from Elmore Leonard novels. And while directors Quentin Tarantino and Steven Soderbergh have very different styles, these films have more in common than you’d think.
“Jackie Brown” (1997) stars Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, Bridget Fonda and Michael Keaton. “Out of Sight” (1998) stars George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, along with Ving Rhames, Steve Zahn, and Don Cheadle (and, yes, Keaton). ivermectin for treating head lice

Popspotting #71: PopTalk with Catherine Parkinson (June 16, 2011)
It’s our first international PopTalk & Trivia Thursday! Joining us all the way from Huntingdon near Cambridge in the United Kingdom, Catherine Parkinson (@catparky on Twitter). It’s great to hear the perspective of someone outside the American bubble, and she shares her favorite TV shows with UK roots… but can she hold her own in our very America-centric trivia round?
Popspotting #70: Photo Apps (June 15, 2011)
14 years
And now for something completely different. Finally pushing the envelope for our “Wildcard Wednesday” show, we go geeky with a look at our favorite smartphone photography apps. As iPhone users, these picks are iPhone centric, but several of them are also available on Android.
Jen is an iPhone camera app junkie, and has tried over a hundred of them. (Of course, there are thousands out there.) Among the apps making the cut are Hipstamatic, Instagram, PicPlz, Burstn, and Camera+,
Do you use any of these photo apps? Are there any you’d recommend? And if we do another app show, what sorts of apps would you suggest we check out?
And if apps are not your thing, nor music nor books… what else should we do for our Wednesday shows? Anything goes!
Popspotting #69: “Breaking Bad” (June 14, 2011)
When it comes to solid drama and knockout performances, our absolute favorite show right now is “Breaking Bad” on AMC.
It was the series most often recommended to us when we were wallowing in a post-“LOST” fugue state, and it deserves all the acclaim it gets. No, there’s no science fiction, and just a smattering of science. But “Breaking Bad” is intense, gripping, mesmerizing television. Some of its lightest moments are also its darkest, and some of the humor is beautifully painful. We can’t recommend it enough.
The Season 3 DVD just came out last week, and Season 4 premieres on July 17. So if you’re not yet aboard, you’ve got just enough time to catch up.
And if you love “Breaking Bad” as much as we do, Gavin here in Honolulu points out that you can’t miss the “Breaking Bad Insider Podcast.”
If you’re not watching, why not? And if you are, how much do you love the show? خريطة رالي داكار السعودية 2022 Jen suggests that Aaron Paul (as Jesse) has an even tougher job than Bryan Cranston (as Walter)… ربح المال مجانا and given where Season 3 left off (no spoilers!), I think things will only get more amazing for both of them this year. موقع كيوي
Popspotting #68: “Super 8” (June 13, 2011)
As “slobbering fanboys” of J.J. Abrams, we’ve been looking forward to “Super 8” since the moment we first heard about it last year. Written and directed by Abrams, and with Steven Spielberg aboard as executive producer, the movie has been shrouded in secrecy and promoted with an air of mystery. is ivermectin a treatment for covid 19 Now that “Super 8” has finally hit the big screen, was it worth the wait?
We think so. “Super 8” is at once an unapologetic tribute to classic Spielberg films like “E.T.,” “The Goonies,” and “Close Encounters,” as well as a straight-up, full-bore alien-slash-monster flick. It’s a touching coming-of-age story, fortified with a healthy serving of explosions and gotcha moments. does ivermectin kill chiggers Although the alien-slash-monster plot fell just a little short, the spectacular young cast made up for it with more than enough heart. spinosad/ivermectin dogs
Popspotting #67: Feedback Friday (June 10, 2011)
If you missed the awesomeness that was the “Battlestar Galactica” reboot, you’ve got another chance. BBC America is going to start running the show as part of its “Supernatural Saturday” lineup beginning tomorrow, June 11. That’s just one of the things we learned today from our listeners during “Feedback Friday.”
Also mentioned, “Galaxy Quest” and “Justified,” plus more love for Lady Gaga, the Foo Fighters, “Modern Family” and “Sons of Anarchy.”
We thrive on feedback, so please don’t hold back. Share your thoughts on movies, TV, music, books, or anything else, and we’ll try to include it in the show! You can leave a voicemail at 815-310-0808, email us at feedback@popspotting.net, or comment here on the blog, on Facebook, or on Twitter.
