The Pop Cult EX-perience
A tale as old as time itself. The classic story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy and girl start a pop culture podcast together 20 some odd years later.
Welcome to the Pop Cult Ex-perience brought to you by Karen Giffin and Tyler Smith. Two former flames, once inseparable, now find themselves separated by 6000 miles and a couple of decades. Still friends, with a similar love for all things pop culture and a similar want to share our love of these things with y'all. We talk movies, TV, gaming, comics, books, music and any other manner of things that we fancy. Join us for our weekly podcasts to hear about news, musings, commentary, reviews and upcoming fun things in the world of entertainment. We will also be doing bonus episodes with themed content and the occasional live stream for extra fun. Follow us on Twitter (@PopCultExP) and Instagram (@popcultexp) We want to hear your thoughts and ideas too. Feel free to comment on posts or DM us any time.
The Pop Cult EX-perience
From Far and Wide and The Space Between.
It’s an all Canadian episode this week on the podcast as we get ready to celebrate Canada Day.
Not only are we shining a spotlight on the day, but also on the month as we talk about some Canadian films focused on Queer and Trans stories that were recommended by Can Film Day.
C.R.A.Z.Y. Can be streamed on Apple TV
Breakfast with Scot can be streamed on CBC Gems
Dawn, Her Dad and the Tractor can be streamed on Crave.
If sitting out in the sunshine and flipping through the pages of a good book is more your speed, we talk about ‘Pageboy’, the memoir from @elliotpage, and ‘The 38 Impossible Loves of Naoko Nishizawa’ by @monnamcdiarmidwrites , two fantastic books by Canadian authors.

And what are outdoor festivities with out music? This week we take a listen to and talk about @tamingsariband’s amazing sophomore album, ‘My Heart, My Love’.
Give it a listen wherever you gets your music.
We then play a Canadian version of stuck on a deserted island, picking one movie, one tv series, one album and one book that we would take with us to keep us entertained if we were stranded and alone.
We end the episode with a wonderful chat with @thespacebetweenofficial, a stellar hard rock three piece from Ottawa, coming in fresh off the release of the first EP, that EP’s release party and a nomination for best Newcomers of the Year at this years Capital Music Awards.
Stick around at the end of the episode to hear their song 'Time', off their new album.
Enjoy!!
