    Best "Real Housewives" Cast
    May 27 2025
    As of late 2024, more than 170 women had been cast on one of the 12 Real Housewives franchises to air on cable network Bravo. But not all of those housewives were worthy of the title. Each franchise has had its peaks and valleys, but at their best, they have given us incredible reality television generated by the unique alchemy of their casts. So grab your oranges, apples, peaches, diamonds, snowflakes, and more as the Great Pop Culture Debate considers the best Real Housewives casts of all time – or at least until early 2025, when we’re recording this. “Housewives” casts discussed: “Real Housewives of New York” Seasons 9/10; “Real Housewives of Atlanta” Season 10; “RHOA” Seasons 3/4; “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Seasons 1/2; “Real Housewives of Miami” Seasons 4-6; “Ultimate Girls Trip” Season 2; “Real Housewives of Orange County” Season 11; “RHOA” Season 5; “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” Season 4; “RHONJ” S9-S12; “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 5; “RHONY” S3; “RHOBH” S1-S2; “RHOM” S2; “RHOSLC” S1; “Real Housewives of Potomac” Seasons 3-4. Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Jake Lewis, Jake Pitochelli, and Kevin Dillon as they discuss 16 of the most iconic “Real Housewives” casts.

    Best X-Men Team
    May 13 2025
    Since Marvel Comics introduced the X-Men in 1963, Marvel’s merry mutants have gone through any number of permutations. Countless characters have joined and left the squad, and the team has produced a slew of spin-off groups that still undeniably fall under the X-banner. With the X-Men back in the public spotlight thanks to Disney+’s blockbuster “X-Men 97” animated series, and the property’s slow but sure introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we wanted to look back at the many iconic rosters of X-Men from the comics, and attempt to name the Best X-Men Team Line-Up ever. Teams discussed: Original X-Men, All-New All-Different Team, Outback X-Men, Blue Team, Gold Team, New Mutants, X-Factor Government Team, Excalibur, Generation X, the Krakoan Quiet Council, and more! Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Brendan Hay and Kevin Dillon, and EXTRA-SPECIAL GUEST AJ Locasio, the voice actor who brings to life Gambit on “X-Men ‘97” as they discuss 16 iconic rosters from the comics featuring Marvel’s Merry Mutants.
