Thanks for not ripping me apart. I concede it was a subjective list and you watch what you watch. I think of watchability as something I can put in when I want mindless entertainment. Maybe cult classics, like short circuit(?), need a new list. As Ben is to Steve Guttenburg so Rich is to Steve Irwin.

I read magazine and articles from people who are alive and sometime books. I overstate the dead people think because it is annoying to see folk jump on new band wagons so easily because they are not grounded in the classics.

Haha, I posted my last comment before I listened to the end, and the last top five (number 4) made a very similar point.

I really enjoyed the top 5 reasons to blog about pop culture list. I work with middle schoolers at a summer camp each year, and it is so easy to see the power pop culture has to change the way we think.

One very common response from christians is to draw the battle lines and label pop culture as evil. Sadly, children raised in these homes aren’t taught how to think critically about pop culture when they inevitably encounter it at school or work or wherever.

To me, it is clear that as christians we must learn how to not only shun the evil, but also cultivate and appreciate the good. At very least to recognize both for what they are.

So yeah, great work.

Also, this is a big moment for me to be mentioned in a podcast. The Dane, you better watch out because I am coming after your status as MVP (most valuable poster)
