[@adalovelace521]

heidi klum, a supermodel and total babe dressing in increasingly more elaborate and funny costumes and making her hot young husband be an egg is top tier at least

[@opiniyon]

oh you make good points

[@ishapanwar5585]

i cant believe that half of these happened THIS year. they seem like a lifetime ago

[@noemieslife]

Frrrr

[@dbudgell]

"my brain is spinning like a rotisserie chicken" is the best simile I've ever heard

[@opiniyon]

it was indeed spinning

[@Kristianalexis1]

Same 😂

[@lulujones]

Phoebe and Bo's relationship getting exposed the exact same way Zoella and Alfie Deyes did back in the day is proof time is a flat circle (iykyk)

[@Kristianalexis1]

Yes!

[@opiniyon]

omg this took me BACK

[@darshsenthil]

The whole submarine situation in July altered my brain chemistry, I don't know if it would be included on roman empire or just culture seeing how big it was😭😭

[@perhapsanya]

I would definitely put it in the last tier, that was an absolute bad idea and people died

[@yuyukit]

girl that's not it, a teenager died...

[@sovietmarshmallow1283]

that was this year???? i genuinely thought it happened last year with how long ago it felt

[@aswespeak165]

@@sovietmarshmallow1283same!!

[@catherinepanella1670]

as if we all didnt have that lowkey fascination with the titanic to begin with... it just added to the lore😭

[@chicken_208]

The whole netflix password thing is so stupid like I grew up with divorced parents, one has only just learnt what netflix is and the other couldn't afford it, so my brother who lives in another state payed for it. Do they think everyone could just afford to buy a subscription whenever?! It is literally so stupid they're so money hungry.

[@andshereadstoo7809]

Same with my parents, they were so happy they could finally watch sth new amd could not afford to pay for it themselves, Netflix ppl seemed to completely ignore they had loyal customers paying for this shit for months years just sharing between two houses smh ☠

[@aabidahsiebritz3839]

To be fair I think the lawyer in the Gwenyth Paltrow trial was a fan and just wanted to know if they were besties lol

[@rosie2871]

no literally, because it has no relevance to the case at all 😭

[@ishapanwar5585]

as much as i love seeing people supporting rachel now, i will also never forget how they treated her especially when jacob elordi said the same exact thing s her, yet she was the only one getting so so much hate.

[@aabidahsiebritz3839]

Agreed, the hate was so disproportionate and aggressive.

[@dbudgell]

!!!!! yes!!!!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler and Hunter Schafer in one movie? Casting Department should be given a medal.

[@madelonpater1148]

The fact that Harry Styles cut his hair right after Taylor Swift dropped a vault song with the lyrics " you grew your hair long, got new icons' was why it was concerny/funny

[@PokhrajRoy.]

6:43 Fun Fact: The person doing the ASL version of that performance is awesome and Rihanna DM’d her.

[@saaya8964]

okay, i now finally understand where the 'are you good friends with taylor swift' joke my friends keep bringing up came from😂 somehow knowing the context doesn't make it any less confusing

[@alyxually]

The bob is bobbing and this video is excellent as always!!

[@opiniyon]

thank youuuu :)

[@theholyhaunted]

As someone who basically came out the womb obssessed with pop culture, thank you for this video. 😌

[@michelinstargouda]

omg the hair! this is 100% your look connie baby

[@opiniyon]

10/10 reference

[@joemamanamejeff]

The bo phoebe accidental relationship reveal was so good, one of my fave moments just cuz of the absurdity of it

[@Hobiemyhubby]

5:22 you said exactly what i was thinking in this situation lol. At first i was also surprised with the relationship, but i thought excluding the fact that he is a curly haired french man, and Hollywood actor, he is just a full on L.A boy. And yes he is french but i mean its the way he acts, his name and looks kinda give him a mask of being elite, ol money and important fancy french person but he is nothing of that sort lol, him and kylie makes sense 💯

[@sam2572]

tbh the fact i didn't know about like a third of these makes me happy with the way i live my life. i love being oblivious (no hate if you're into this kind of stuff it just feels exhausting)

[@misuchiku4827]

I feel the same way. very hard to keep up with so I mostly don't lol. I love the recaps though because I do like some drama

[@clthefrog]

Oppenheimer was excruciatingly long and I had very mixed feelings about it, so you really didn't miss much by not seeing

[@Lex-fo5ci]

Love that you said the Heidi Klum costume looked like cirque du soleil when it literally was a collaboration with them lol! Love your videos❤️

[@emmabruh]

This year was crazy omg, i absolutely didn’t realise how much actually happened just in this year until i saw it listed up like this, it feels like half of it happened years ago omg

[@juliamarques7354]

kids set the table opinyon's pop culture wrapped just dropped

[@oliviae6423]

Your nepo baby video honestly was my beacon in the storm

[@starsandsuch7778]

Girl i would’ve never known about Shakira’s diss track and it’s thanks to you I just watched that national treasure 🫶🏻

[@yashnarajaratnam6809]

That length of hair looks so pretty on you!! Love your videos ❤

[@isipisi883]

„sth about maple syrup“ when talking about riverdale TOOK ME OUT💀💀💀💀💀

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Taylor Swift and her legacy will be part of future curricula. I just know it. My thesis is ready if anyone wants to know haha

[@dbudgell]

bestie what's the thesis

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@dbudgell That’s confidential information lol jk

[@lauraboredom2168]

yes selena got A LOT of hate for the face she did when they announced chris brown but i was like she did nothing wrong like f him

[@ScreenFavorites]

First and foremost i LOVE the cut. Thank you, I now know what this whole Roman Empire thing was about. I would have mentioned the turd of a man Matt Healy being a turd, his comments about Ice Spice, dating Swift and getting shamed off Twitter.

[@snehapradhan5591]

seeing you rank things is one of my favorite passtimes

[@no.1appastan]

I love watching your channel to get caught up on parts of the internet that i missed every few months xxx

[@dbudgell]

i absolutely cannot wait to get home from work to watch this

[@victoriagarces1998]

YOUR HAIRCUT OMG!!! obsessed

[@vicente8749]

My brain is spinning like a rotisserie chicken same girl

[@brigc7755]

As someone who just recently watched Oppenheimer: I was expecting to hate it but it was honestly one of the best movies I've seen.. like criminally good, you should deffo watch it.

[@carlgrimeseyepatch27]

It took me all year and this video to figure out what “my roman empire” means 😂 thank you!

[@Kristianalexis1]

Honestly same. I saw the term everywhere and was confused

[@perksofbeingcurvy4827]

idk why I haven't come across you before but I'm glad to be here now ❤ absolutely iconic ranking 💕

[@broccolinisprout-to4hz]

another slay of a video!! also love the hair!

[@allysonfergot4474]

your hair looks so cute!!

[@bingeingforsoup]

The only thing I think you missed that I saw everywhere was Scandoval 😅 otherwise you slayed hard here ❤️

[@lenaharman1343]

lovvvveeee!!! great video

[@andshereadstoo7809]

The clip of Timothy Chalamet being a frat boy screaming at the top of his lungs felt so wrong 😭

[@slaughteredluvrgrl]

I AM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS

[@jow2716]

Hey, I understood SOME of these references! 🤩

[@briclare]

i really love your haircut!!

[@starsandsuch7778]

No matter what you’re going thru girl your hair is so cute!!! Slay!!

[@andytmnt]

Love the haircut btw!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I know another channel that’s going to discuss 2023 Pop Culture moments so I’m already so excited 👏🏽 P.S. The hairstyle is absolutely fabulous!

[@opiniyon]

thank you!!

[@dbudgell]

i agree! hair looks lovely

[@FatemaLiya]

Love your haircut!!!

[@noahalexis3100]

didnt know half of these moments, but now I caught up!

[@akemikitamura5551]

It really is the season for emotionally driven impulsive haircuts isn't it

[@britney11711]

NOT THE PRIM REAPER 💀😂

[@alingw0809]

the haircut is super cute!!

[@lmw1239]

I love your videos so much 💜💜💜

[@TheSkinnyZ]

The way I already forgot about Un-Ga-lah Bass-it did da ting!

[@hazarege5270]

hi, i just wanted to say that i love your content. hope youre doing well.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

10:04 Omg it was a moment and I still quote “I wish you well.” and btw I know someone who’s doing a play (with music) called ‘Gwyneth Goes Skiing’ on this incident.

[@opiniyon]

STOPPPP I TOTALLY FORGOT SOMEONE IS MAKING HER SKI TRIAL INTO A MUSICAL

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@opiniyon Correction: A play with a bit of music

[@libby8920]

i love these videos so much

[@mayas883]

This is honestly the way I find out that all the memes I see abt bald harry are not photoshopped 😂

[@justlola417]

Wow all those celebrity moments I've never heard about

[@harsheh]

WHY IS EVERYONE CUTTING THEIR HAIR LIKE ME? it looks so good 🫶

[@misuchiku4827]

I knew about none of these but you are always so entertaining also the bob is a slay

[@lili-cl1zx]

THE PRIM REAPER???? ASHLKJDS

[@manasvineiiiii]

Not me finding out half the things that happened this year through you 😭

[@Blaise8201]

Some of this felt like it happened years ago 😭😭😭

[@sawallthat]

Oh kayyy haircut, you go gurl! I wish you the best with your implied emotional crisis ❤. Also Oppenheimer sux, don’t bother. Take it from a Letterboxd girlie

[@saaya8964]

Do I live under a fucking rock, i missed all of these somehow 😭😂 you know the feeling when you have an exam coming up but you were in class maybe twice the whole semester so now you're trying to catch up on EVERYTHING in 2 hours? that's me rn trying to get up to speed with this year before the next one starts😂

[@brookemorgan7091]

I spent all of Oppenheimer waiting for it to pass the Bechdel Test, spoiler it never does.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Honestly, I like Heidi Klum paying an ode to South Asia with Peacock and Yasssified Kali.

[@kswaggey]

we have such similar taste!!! my one thing is that ariana debose supports / is publicly friends w ansel elgort so i think that was a part of the backlash as well.

[@haleykirkton3655]

Omg I was like PEDRO PASCAL AND PHOEBE BRIDGERS ???

[@Kristianalexis1]

I can’t believe some of these were THIS YEAR when they feel like forever ago. I agree about Barbenheimer being debatably the biggest pop culture moment of the year but if I’m honest… I don’t care. I enjoyed Barbie but don’t think that this needed to be super hyped up. I also haven’t watched Oppenheimer.

[@cambry4932]

I didn't see Barbie, but I did see Oppenheimer. As a history enthusiast, it absolutely butchered what could have been such a compelling story.

[@linn469]

3:15 piqué girlboss if you will i'll see myself out

[@thegoodreylo4749]

Btw Teen Wolf was also an 80’s movie starring Michael J. Fox.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

6:00 You are Ali Wong to Netflix’s Steven Yeun. Just be careful around the carpets and the grills.

[@lolor17]

lol Phoebe and Pedro Pascal 😂

[@harsheh]

letsgooo

[@melaniewon]

The Josh Hutcherson thing was more so because of the FNAF movie rather than the ballads of songbirds and snakes

[@random.x0]

Def

[@cpilaf]

ya bob is fye

[@NG-ue4th]

OK so 'prim reaper' is now my roman empire, like bestie I can't stop thinking about it lolol *chefs kiss*

[@PokhrajRoy.]

11:45 Met Gala these days are just something I dread. Why are most people sleepwalking their way through this? Also, in any case, Vogue needs to step up PRONTO

[@societycrumbles]

I unironically love Ariana's song, it's a BOP

[@dbudgell]

SAME

[@jyh0916]

pleaseeee i need a trigger warning for that damn worm costume😭

[@harsheh]

are you ok bbg? debby ryan throwing me off

[@opiniyon]

LMAO I-

[@TheSkinnyZ]

Sorry for spamming the comments, but also you're welcome for the engagement, I guess?

[@ashleyflores5289]

If you waited a couple more days we would’ve seen the rise and fall of Matt rife in here

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande are the Eddie Fisher and Elizabeth Taylor of our times.

[@6xillix]

well ari’s relationship is none of our business and I’m glad it was a rumor and it wasn’t cheating or anything and there wasn’t even a proof that she did,but I kinda feel bad for the wife with the baby but well it’s their personal life

[@andeewhitman6978]

When you said Phoebe Bridgers was rumored to be engaged to Pedro Pascal I audibly exclaimed HUH

[@krustomer]

RACHEL ZEGLER SUPREMACY ‼️‼️‼️

[@sunshineeee]

I just wanna note about the SAG strikes: they are “over” but the deal is awful and widely hated by the members and non members of SAG, with only a 38% turnout, majorly due to SAG preventing people from voting for dues that were late(after months of those being stopped…in a strike….where no one had a job). Specifically late but either before or well within the time to still be allowed/able to vote. It’s an AWFUL deal, with little to no real improvements and no protection from AI(will slowly kill the industry. It not only will remove jobs like background, but slowly pick off available slots for crew, support, other actors, etc). I worry that people will ignore it in favor of getting to talk about the movies and shows they missed. /nm at you /srs

[@Man-ej6uv]

most of these are news to me bc i'm a bug living under a rock

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ariyana DeBose could’ve said her iconic line as a prophecy for the Oscars. If only it had come true.

[@potatosocreepy7778]

My Roman Empire 1 Barbenhiemer 2 submarine 3 succession final Hornorable mention TaylorxTravis

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Omg I didn’t even know Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers weren’t together. Huh.

[@isticmusicmuse722]

12:16 everybody just wa take down 4 nt freling

[@JenniferFlopez098]

So no Jiafei? *throws phone*

[@taaptee]

it is so embarrassing to have participated in every discourse you mentioned 😔

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Apart from ‘Barbenheimer’, Hindi Cinema had its own version of ‘Barbie’ which was ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’.

[@whyalani]

the josh craze WAS BC OF FNAF POOKIE ONE OF THE BIGGEST HYPES POOKIE
