EPISODE 417: ENDGAME OF THRONES(-ISH)
POP CULTURE SPIRIT WOW
Hi, Hello and Hola from Los Angeles, where there have been no weather forecasts of snow, as compared to Minneapolis, where there was one just last week while I was there. (No snow did fall, praise be the Baby Jesus, Sunshine and Mister Heat Miser.)
So did anyone else feel pressured this weekend – like legit anxiety-dream pressure – to watch Avengers: Endgame and/or Game of Thrones right away, before someone ruined it? Because I definitely did, and at the same time because of the work I was doing I was not in a position to be able to follow through, so basically I did a weekend of forced internet cleanse. Thank you World of Spoilers, May I Have Another!
And then on Monday I finally did get there, I discovered…
Wait. Is it too soon? I mean, probably most of us who are going to watch Thrones have already done so. But Avengers?
Shoot. It is, isn't it.
It’s probably providential, actually, as I said last week that I was thinking about experimenting with writing on Sundays for a little while. So let this be my inspiration. For the next month -- starting this week -- PCSW will pop culture your spirit on Sundays. (Wow!) And maybe once or twice I’ll slip you a little something on a Thursday, too.
In the meantime, I’ve written a couple little pieces on Tumblr the last few weeks about different pop culture things you might enjoy.
