512: Redundancies in Pop Culture

In this episode, we talk redundancies in pop culture. From completely interchangeable celebrity couples to nerdy, male actors, we discuss who we don’t really need and who is the apex of their trope. Plus we settle who has the best fast food and we talk redundancies in pop culture.
