  Edward Scissorhands / "dont smile at me" by Billie Eilish 20.09.2026 1時間 33分

  We're talking about edgy teenagers this week, so we had to cover the quintessential piece of teen music from our high school days. Plus, what's more edgy than falling in love with a guy who has utensils for hands?Music: dont smile at me (2017) by Billie Eilish [NOTE: We covered the UK & Ireland re-release, which also includes the songs lovely and bitches broken hearts]Film: Edward Scissorhands (1990), directed by Tim BurtonFind the New Music Weekly playlist here, updated every Wednesday.Art by @teebartMusic by Popular GirlFollow us on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube (@UnculturedPopCulture) and find all our links here!David: @davoogi on Instagram, Letterboxd, and RateYourMusicBrandon: @itspopulargirl on Instagram, @brandonthe on Letterboxd and RateYourMusicChapters:(3:39) What We Watched and Listened To(8:43) Background on dont smile at me(16:38) dont smile at me Track by Track(49:55) dont smile at me Thoughts and Scores(53:27) Background on Edward Scissorhands(1:12:49) Edward Scissorhands Thoughts and Scores(1:31:07) Follow @UnculturedPopCulture Everywhere!

  The Perks of Being a Wallflower / "Blue Neighbourhood" by Troye Sivan 13.09.2026 1時間 29分

  It's time to talk about Tumblr. Eventually. That's the theme of this episode, and we forget to bring it up for like fifty minutes, but it's okay, because we're talking about one of our favorite artists! For only the second time in Uncultured Pop Culture history, we're covering a second album by an artist we did on the first season. That means we hold Troye Sivan and The Beatles in the same regard, which is definitely true. And in case that doesn't get you excited enough, we have perhaps the quintessential high school coming-of-age movie from the 21st century that's set in the 20th century.Music: Blue Neighbourhood (2015) by Troye Sivan [NOTE: We're covering the 10th anniversary edition, which has the standard 16 songs from the deluxe edition as well as SWIMMING POOLS and Strawberries & Cigarettes]Film: The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), directed by Stephen ChboskyFind the New Music Weekly playlist here, updated every Wednesday.Art by @teebartMusic by Popular GirlFollow us on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube (@UnculturedPopCulture) and find all our links here!David: @davoogi on Instagram, Letterboxd, and RateYourMusicBrandon: @itspopulargirl on Instagram, @brandonthe on Letterboxd and RateYourMusicChapters:(1:50) What We Watched and Listened To(5:02) Background on Blue Neighbourhood(13:04) Blue Neighbourhood Track by Track(53:23) Blue Neighbourhood Thoughts and Scores(57:24) Background on The Perks of Being a Wallflower(1:09:59) Perks of Being a Wallflower Thoughts and Scores(1:27:37) Follow @UnculturedPopCulture everywhere!
