In this episode, we unpack the idea of pop culture tariffs. Join us as we explore the metaphorical tolls we pay when entertainment just won’t let something (or someone) go - we’re talking omnipresent actors, overused tropes about mildly broody acquaintances, and franchises that just won’t die. Plus, Knox shares his own rapid red lights.
