Tatooine Sons: A Pop Culture Podcast

By: Tatooine Sons
  • Summary

  • Tatooine Sons is a weekly conversation between a dad and his two sons about the biggest pop culture films and TV franchises. We believe that pop culture is the mythology of this generation; that there is a story written on our souls and that these “myths” speak to that story. That’s why we talk about Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Lord of the Ring and more.
