    In this episode of the Pop Cult Experience, I welcome my new best friend Sara to the podcast to discuss various pop culture topics. We start by getting to know Sara before diving into the latest entertainment news.

    We played a game of Simon Says, with Sara forcing me to watch the romantic comedy 'What's Your Number?' and me making her watch the podcasts favourite flick, 'True Romance.'

    We then share thoughts on the Superman movie directed by James Gunn. How many Flying F_cks did we give the man of steel? Listen to find out.
