The Popcast at TEDx

May 26, 2017

The Popcast at TEDx

On March 24, 2018 we will be presenting at our second TEDx event in Birmingham, Alabama. Get tickets. 

In March 2017, we had the privilege to give a TEDx talk at ACU in Texas. The title of our talk was Clear Eyes on the Full Heart of Pop Culture. We deconstructed and discussed the simple and unexpected power of pop culture by considering how it challenges and connects us with one another.

Watch it Here:

Anytime we can talk about movies, TV, and our Dads is a good time.

Episode 195: Traumatic TV Show Deaths

May 24, 2017

Episode 195: Traumatic TV Show Deaths

Note: This episode was recorded weeks prior to the Manchester tragedy. What was intended as a light and breezy consideration of fictional deaths on TV now has an unfortunate synchronicity with real world events. We would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge this prior to you listening of this episode. Our prayers are with those impacted by this horrific violence. 

In this episode, we examine and reflect on traumatic TV deaths. We look at the types of ends that come to fictional characters, the rules every writer should follow, our takes on the most talked about deaths, and our Traumatic Popcast Pantheon.

MENTIONS

  • The Popcast Weekly Newsletter: www.knoxandjamie.com/newsletter
  • Vox Article: TV Is Killing Off So Many Characters That Death Is Losing Its Punch
  • Variety Article: Anyone Can Die
