The Criminal Trial of Tom Nook

We're back! Back from the depths of a quarantine induced hiatus, TPC is back with a brand new case! Being stuck inside has given us plenty of time to ponder the mysteries of Animal Crossing. Like Tom Nook: filthy capitalist or misunderstood benevolent raccoon? Lizzie and Lauren from Setting the Tone join us to tackle this very question. And stay tuned to the end for a very special announcement regarding the future of the show!

The Criminal Trial of the Antihero

Tony Soprano, Walter White, The Punisher, The Joker, Venom, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Are you noticing a pattern here? No, it's not aggrieved white men, although fair point. People love to root for a villain. But why? When did this start? Where do we go from here? We ask all these questions and more, this week on The Popular Court!

The Civil Trial of Artistic License

All media is derivative. The same basic stories get told and retold time and time again. So it stands to reason that some artistic license is warranted to freshen up old tales. But how far is too far? How much is too much when it comes to artistic license? We try to answer that very question this week on, The Popular Court!

For the Record: Smash Mouth's Astro Lounge

Another new episode type for us! This time instead of picking up individual songs from a variety of bands that fit a single theme, we're examining an album as a whole, track by track. First up, we're taking it back to 1999 with Smash Mouth's wildly successful album, Astro Lounge. Is this album just All Star and a bunch of filler or are there some genuine hidden gems here? Find out this week on, The Popular Court!
