    Fun and Entertaining Show
    It’s a fun listen hearing films broken down from the Gen X and Millennial perspective. Can tell how much the hosts enjoy the subjects they talk about

  • Michael Govier
    Great Concept!
    This has become one of my favorite shows! The amount of content they can pack into one episode is great for a mind like mine. Derek and Chris has that chemistry we all want in our favorite show. And if you love dad jokes, there is always one guaranteed for you every show. Follow Pop Goes Your World now!

    Deserves a 5 star rating ALL DAY!
    I’m super jealous of the voices on these men! What an awesome podcast. The conversations are so effortless and easy to follow. Absolutely in love and am now a big fan. I was born in the 70’s and most of my nostalgic memories are from the 80’s. If you can say the same…LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST!💙
  • NotBAMF
    Fun conversation
    Some great reviews to go with other enjoyable things like top five lists or drafts, I really like the idea of a Gen X-we debating a Millenial on the merits of each’s pop culture! The show has some great segments and two fantastic hosts. Tune in!
  • Epic Film Guys
    Wonderful Conversation!
    What a wonderful show. The production quality is tip-top, the conversations are in-depth, and the topics are always interesting. Chris is easily one of the best podcast hosts you'll ever hear as he and co-host Yancy delve into films, lists, and other wonderful discussions. Wonderful show. I first heard Chris on The Podstuff with Perry & Lindsay Johnson and definitely had to check out his show when I did. Amazing work. Definitely a show that should be in your rotation.

    I love Yancy.
  • Jess.Griff
    I listen for Yancy!
    This has become my favorite podcast! Chris and Yancy have great chemistry and always makes me laugh and think about things in a new light! Props to Yancy and his taste in movies and music! I feel like everything he recommends or talks about is my favorite!
  • Dacapital37
    Great team work
    Love listening to Yancy and Chris. I put my headset on at work and they help me get through the day. Although I think Chris needs to give Yancy a jeopardy retry!
  • Slomo67
    Love it!
    This is Mo from GenXGrownUp and Jon recommended your podcast and I'm glad he did! Great podcast!
  • Class Clown 799
    Great concept!
    I just discovered this pod and subscribed right away! It’s like a trip down memory lane for me (Gen X). Very entertaining and fun podcast. ~Jami (Murderish podcast)
  • Rutagar
    Ew Millennials
    Despite my extreme dislike for Millennials, I listened to this show and now I only dislike them 80%. That’s how great this podcast was. Future listens may reduce that to 79% or lower, so be like me and subscribe!
  • charisdillon
    I love this idea
    This is the coolest idea for a podcast! Can't wait to hear more! I am also a millenial but love love love pop culture from GEN X!
  • BSPodPhx
    Great Dynamic!
    I love the concept of this show. Two men from different generations introduce each other to different aspects of pop culture from their own generation. They may be different, but definintely yin and yang Quite entertaining! Definintely will keep listening!
  • JoshuaSManley
    Pop Culture Awesomeness

    Best pod out there
    The knowledge and perfect flowing conversations are the best out there.
  • Justin Lonero
    Fantastic Podcast
    Chris brings a level of honesty and sincerity that most Pods lack.
  • Pats3323
    This podcast is awesome!
    I love this podcast. Chris and Yancy have great chemistry. The lists are really good and filled with trivia. Very entertaining
  • Dsparks003
    Pop Couple
    On June 27th Chris Mcbrien was asked to leave the podcasting world That request came from his LIFE. He knew it was time, but he also knew that one day he would return to her. With no one else to talk to, he started a show with his friend Yancy Eaton. A year earlier Neal Wolfgang asked Yancy to leave podcasting, requesting that he never return. Can these two men discuss pop culture once a week without driving each other crazy?
  • In This League
    Fantastic Pod
    Chris and Yancy are top notch! This is a must list
  • Girth Algar
    Another Great Podcast From Chris and Yancy!
    I've been a fan of what Chris does for a few years now. I was pretty much a day one listener of his old show, the Dear Mr Fantasy Podcast. For some weird reason he even had me on as a guest. I looked forward to the new episode every week and he never disappointed. It was always fun, interactive and very informative. Then the show got even better when Yancy joined and brought a new perspective and friendliness to the show. These guys know how to podcast and they're some of the best in the business in my opinion. Then Chris and Yancy decided to start a new show. Pop Goes Your World had me hooked after the first few minutes. It was an instant subscribe for me. It's very fun and the Gen X vs. Gen Y concept is great. The only thing I don't like about it is that I couldn't give jump into the conversations myself. They seem like they have so much fun with each topic. So if you love pop culture this show should also be an instant subscription, download and listen every week. Congrats on the new show, fellas!

    Chris McBrien shines again
    I've been following Chris McBrien since his days with the "Dear Mr. Fantasy" fantasy baseball podcast so it comes as no surprise to me that he once again has struck gold with "Pop Goes Your World". The topics he picks to discuss and flow of the conversation make me feel like I'm sitting with a group of friends at a BBQ knocking back a couple of cold ones. And let's not undersell Yancy Eaton; he's spectacular as the millenial point of view and even paints the generation in a positive light with his vast knowledge of pop culture. Throw this on your iPhone during your commute or at the gym and you're guaranteed to emerge with a smile on your face!
  • StumptownDave
    Must Listen! Another Winner!
    I love this show! I am shocked to find 2 guys that are not only kind and respectful to each other, but extremely knowledgable. The chemistry is so good its seamless, and relaxing, the listener is taken back in time and sees it like it was. While each has a totally different viewpoint there is never the point/counterpoint contest that detracts from the message. I have listened to first 3 episodes twice and picked up nuances and small tidbits that add to the whole. Like a second reading of a great novel. This show makes me laugh, cry, and sometimes bemoan the fate of Pop Culture! If I could hope for something it would be a show on telephones, that possibly would have a guest Boomer to tell how it really is!
  • thecoldmailman
    Intense aural satisfaction
    McB and Yancy play well off each other, and represent the generational gap between them well. It's this foundation that gives this podcast staying power and can push them through infinite pop culture discussions. Chris is also a warehouse for trivia it seems, which adds to the appeal of the show. Despite NEITHER of them giving Will Ferrell props during their SNL episode, which is borderline unforgivable as far as my opinion is concerned, this is a fun pod to listen to and it seems like they are hitting on some great topics. Recommended!
  • Bob6369183
    Very Entertaining
    Chris and Yancy have a great dynamic. Entertaining and light-hearted. Highly recommended.
  • Casey Varner
    A delightfully funny podcast.
    A delightfully funny podcast with arguably the nicest Canadian, Chris McBrien and the nicest American, Yancy Eaton. For real, I know both of them personally and they are stand up human beings. It's great to hear their takes on pop culture given the gap in ages between them. They mostly discuss hot topics and how they view it from their perspective generation. With Chris being a GenXer and Yancy being a Millennial it makes for a hilariously interesting conversation. Chris and Yancy are very innovative and I can't wait to hear how this podcast grows. I highly recommend it if you enjoy listening to good friends playfully discuss pop culture.
  • Jsssssss4352
    Great podcast
    I love both of these guys. Entertaining podcast with a wide range of viewpoints. Must subscribe and listen. Another Chris McBrien home run!

    Pop Culture Explosions
    If you enjoy pop culture discussion, there isn't a better podcast. With Chris and Yancy you get 2 of the nicest guys around and their discussions are fun, and full of knowledge. I'd love to see these 2 on a game of jeopardy as I'd wager money that they'd be playing again tomorrow.
  • Anskyfan
    Great concept!!!
    Chris and Yancy are a great team!! The differences in their ages makes for great listening. Being closer to Chris' age I relate to him more but love how Yancy and Chris interact!! Their chemistry together is tremendous!!
