Welcome to Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon - your go-to podcast for celebrity interviews with the biggest names in movies, TV, music and more… plus everything happening across pop culture, streaming and technology (and yes, occasionally the craziness in between). Each week, I sit down with your favorite actors, music artists, creators and icons for real, unfiltered conversations - then break it all down with honest reviews, hot takes and smart (sometimes questionable) insights on what’s actually worth your time. From blockbuster movies and binge-worthy series to chart-topping music, industry shakeups and the trends shaping entertainment and tech, this is your weekly guide to staying plugged in without getting overwhelmed. No fluff. No fake hype. No gossip. Just great pop culture...with a little chaos. If you’ve got opinions, questionable watchlists, and a deep love for entertainment… welcome home, Pop Culture Degenerates. New episodes weekly. Let’s go.
