Pop Culture Yearbook’s Brad on the Hilarious and Catchy Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) Soundtrack

Doink da doink! Brad from the Pop Culture Yearbook Podcast returns to Soundtrack Your Life to talk to Nicole and Ryan about the Lonely Island 2016 film, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. It flamed out when it was released back in 2016 but it's reached cult status with it's joke-dense comedy, super talented cast, and songs that are equally brilliant and catchy. It's a film that was funny back in 2016 and actually holds up today in 2025.
