Popculturology is the founding publication of The Omnicosm. It was originally launched as a news site in 2012 before going dormant in 2015. It was resurrected as a newsletter in 2022.
The weekly newsletter publishes on Friday and covers all aspects of pop culture: Movies, TV, trailers, box office news, Star Wars, Marvel, Saturday Night Live and more.
Warner Bros. Discovery announced new Tolkien films are on the way. PLUS: ‘Quantumania’ has a historic drop, ‘Succession’ is ending, and Marc Maron’s new special is fantastic.
Disney, Pixar and the MCU have a history of sharing Thanksgiving. PLUS: The story behind the ‘Quantumania’ visual effects, and is that character actually dead on ‘The Last of Us’?
The third ‘Ant-Man’ movie beat box office expectations. PLUS: ‘John Wick’ is back for a new trailer, ‘Fantastic Four’ casting begins soon, and our daughter (kind of) watched ‘Moana.’
Do MCU films need to stand alone? Are they critic proof? PLUS: A live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon' movie is in the works, Barney rises again, and is 'Creed III' pitting brother vs. brother?
The Super Bowl ended in pathetic fashion, but we still got awesome new looks at Keaton as Batman and Gunn’s MCU finale. PLUS: ‘Fast X’ premiered a trailer, and ‘The Last of Us’ broke our hearts.
A longtime late-night franchise comes to an end. PLUS: Disney announces layoffs and a 'Frozen' sequel, 'The Last of Us' gets back on the road, and 'The Bad Batch' hits its thrilling midseason mark.
Sorry this isn’t the full ‘Popculturology’ opening you’re used to. PLUS: ’The Last of Us’ moves to Friday, ‘Avatar’ dethroned, and is Butler bringing his ‘Elvis’ voice to ‘Dune’?
The slate has been wiped (almost) clean and a new era of superhero storytelling is about to begin. PLUS: ‘The Last of Us’ delivers a timeless episode, and Pedro Pascal gets ready to host ‘SNL.’
‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ crosses the $2B mark. PLUS: ‘Poker Face’ is another win for Rian Johnson, new trailers for ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ and ‘Succession,’ and my new candy search pays off.
