Media Montage Podcast 98: (Pop) Culture War

It seems like everyone is willing to go to war over everything in pop culture these days. 

Not literal war, but flame wars, wars of words, and on and on.  

Battles over art, politics, the politics of art, and what should and shouldn't be seen have led Bruce and Larry to take a look at the Culture War as it is framed by their love of Pop Culture, specifically comics.  Bruce and Larry get passionate about the urge to do battle over the things they love, and try to find some solutions.  They get negative at times, but try really hard to come around to some positive steps to make social media interactions enjoyable.  

A very different kind of discussion, that probably doesn't solve anything in a very honest and passionate Episode 98 of the Media Montage Podcast.

Media Montage 95: Tom Cruise Double Feature - Oblivion (2013) Edge of Tomorrow aka Live, Die, Repeat (2014)

This week Bruce and Larry have a Tom Cruise Science Fiction Double Feature! 

They take a look at Oblivion (2013) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014) aka Live, Die Repeat.   

Both films star Tom Cruise. He's joined in Oblivion by Morgan Freeman, Andrea Riseborough, and Olga Kurylenko in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with a deep mystery at its core. 

Edge of Tomorrow is rounded out by Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, and Brendan Gleeson battling for earth's freedom in a war against alien invaders. 

These two films have a lot in common, in that they weren't blockbusters, have some similar themes and are better than their box office receipts might suggest. Time Travel, The Tet, Tower 49, Alpha, Omega and more in episode 95 of the Media Montage Podcast!
