The Kulturecast

Movies don't happen in a vacuum — they shape the culture, and the culture shapes them right back. The Kulturecast lives in that feedback loop. Each week, host Chris Stachiw — the Doctor of Podcasting — sits down with a rotating table of guest co-hosts to dig into a film, a filmmaker, or a corner of pop culture and trace how it moved the needle, and how the world moved it in return.

Less "was it good," more "what did it do — and why does it still matter?" Expect deep dives, long conversations, sharp takes, and the occasional tangent worth taking. It's a show for people who love arguing about movies almost as much as watching them — and after more than 700 episodes since 2014, we're still arguing.

The Kulturecast is a proud part of Weirding Way Media, and home to two series within the feed:

Required Viewing: A 360° Film Study, with media scholar Dr. David D. Perlmutter
Kulture Meltdown, a crossover with Bryan Renfro of Movie Meltdown, posting on both shows' feeds

Plus regular crossovers with Mike White's The Projection Booth. New episodes weekly.
