Dive into the hottest pop culture moments right now on Amazing Pop Culture Podcast Episode #243! The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina are officially underway— we’re breaking down the star-studded Opening Ceremony highlights, from Mariah Carey’s epic performance and Andrea Bocelli’s show-stopping finale to surprise appearances by Charlize Theron, Taylor Swift cameos, and that whole glamorous Hollywood-meets-athletes vibe at La Scala. It’s giving peak spectacle and winter magic! Then we shift gears to Sylvester Stallone—the action legend’s timeless movies are getting fresh attention with the entire Expendables franchise hitting Netflix soon (perfect timing for a rewatch marathon). We chat classic Stallone flicks, why his one-man-army energy still slaps in 2026, and how his legacy keeps inspiring the new wave of action stars. Plus, the big trailer buzz: Netflix just dropped the official trailer for War Machine (streaming March 6), the sci-fi action thriller starring Alan Ritchson (Reacher himself!) leading an elite Army Ranger team against an otherworldly killing machine during a brutal training mission gone wrong. Explosive visuals, giant threats, and high-stakes survival— we dissect the trailer, hype the cast (Dennis Quaid, Jai Courtney, and more), and debate if this is the next must-watch Netflix original. All that and plenty more random pop culture riffs, hot takes, and fun tangents. Whether you’re Team Olympics, Team Stallone, or just here for the trailer breakdowns, this episode’s got the goods.
