Even the King of Horror has a few skeletons in his cinematic closet. This week on Pop Culture Roulette, the crew dives headfirst into the Stephen King adaptations that didn’t quite earn their crown. Some started with great ideas but stumbled on their way to the screen, while others left us wondering how they got made in the first place. We’ll break down what went wrong — from baffling creative choices and questionable effects to stories that completely missed the haunting heart of the source material.

But it’s not all doom and gloom! We’ll also talk about those rare flops that became cult favorites, the “so bad it’s good” guilty pleasures, and the few that might deserve a modern remake. Whether you’re a diehard King fan or just love dissecting cinematic disasters, this episode is packed with laughs, debates, and more than a few hot takes.

So grab your popcorn and brace yourself — not every adaptation can be a masterpiece, and we’re here to sift through the spooky rubble to find out which of these King-Sized Disasters truly reign supreme in the realm of the ridiculous.

This week on Pop Culture Roulette, we go deep into the world of sports milestones that seem downright impossible to beat. We’re talking the legends who didn’t just raise the bar—they set it so high no one’s come close in decades.

From MLB’s Joe DiMaggio stringing together that jaw-dropping 56-game hitting streak and Cal Ripken Jr.’s ironman run of 2,632 consecutive games, to Wilt Chamberlain dropping 100 points in a single NBA game and averaging 50 points a season, to Jerry Rice putting up numbers in the NFL that wide receivers still dream about. And of course, we couldn’t leave out Michael Phelps, the swimmer who practically competed against countries instead of just other athletes.

We look at each record, who holds it, the closest challengers from the past and present, and then we debate the big question—could any of these feats ever really be topped, or are they destined to live in the record books forever? Expect a mix of nostalgia, sports trivia, and some heated but hilarious arguments.

Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan, a stats junkie, or just someone who loves debating the “never gonna happen again” stories, this episode will hit all the right notes.

Stream “Any Given Record” now, and let us know which milestone you think could fall first—or which one you’re convinced will never be touched.

On this episode of Pop Culture Roulette, we take center stage for The Great TV Vanishing Act! Television history is full of strange mysteries — characters who were endlessly talked about but never actually appeared, and others who showed up once only to disappear without a trace. Was it a clever running gag, a behind-the-scenes shake-up, or just lazy writing? We play a game that highlights some of the most memorable vanishings from classic sitcoms, animated favorites, and even long-running dramas. From the legendary “Chuck Cunningham Syndrome” to voices without faces and faces without futures, we shine a spotlight on the strangest creative choices that still keep fans talking decades later.

What happens when a clever ad campaign outgrows its 30-second spot and tries to live a bigger life? This week on Pop Culture Roulette, we dive into the wild world of commercials that became movies, TV shows, and even video games. From the humble beginnings of Ernest P. Worrell to his unlikely big-screen adventures, to Ted Lasso’s transformation from a one-off NBC promo into an Emmy-winning cultural phenomenon, we trace the strange paths that marketing experiments have taken into mainstream entertainment.

But that’s just the start. We also revisit the short-lived sitcom attempt of the Geico Cavemen, the surreal parenting nightmare of Baby Bob, and the slam-dunk marketing magic that turned Uncle Drew into a full-length film. Along the way, we talk about why some of these ideas soared while others fizzled out, and what it says about the ever-blurring line between advertising and pop culture.

It’s a freewheeling discussion full of nostalgia, laughs, and more than a few “I can’t believe that actually existed” moments. Press play, subscribe, and join the fun — because sometimes the strangest crossovers happen outside the comic books.

This week on Pop Culture Roulette, Nicholas puts a new game to the test — one built entirely around the strange and wonderful world of “tough guy babysitter” movies. Armed with hilariously vague plot descriptions, the co-hosts must guess which film is being described and who starred in it. From The Pacifier to Mr. Nanny to Kindergarten Cop, the crew laughs their way through this oddball subgenre where Hollywood action heroes trade explosions and bad guys for diapers, playdates, and PTA meetings.

Along the way, they uncover why these movies keep popping up, which ones hold up better than others, and why audiences secretly love seeing their favorite tough guys in over-the-top family comedies. And, true to form, the episode eventually veers into an unexpected but entertaining chat about baseball — because with PCR, the wheel of pop culture never lands where you expect.

Subscribe, follow, and join the fun as we blend trivia, movies, and a whole lot of laughs!
