Originally released back in 2013 and now after 10 years, this video is still one of the most-viewed TEDx Talks specials that I have ever found and is already a classic that is sure to be available for generations. I believe that Alexandre O. Philippe should make a second talk during 2024 at the same place that he was there to attend as the lead speaker for this event as pop culture is discussed exclusively in front of a live studio audience.

[@marysiamilach8460]

Last year I volunteered at film festival in Wrocław, where we had screenings of "Memory - The Origins of Alien" and he was one of the invited guests I worked with. Really nice guy, was always on time and where he was supposed to be. And he actually cared about using his guest pass too see as much films as he could fit into his schedule. All the best for him, and may we meet again!

[@cityeternal3328]

He's now in Korea. Gonna meet him on GV after the screenings of 78/52. I'm very looking forward to it.

God he's great....I really feel a lot like he does when it comes down to the pop culture world we are in now with how much love and respect we and all other people like us have for it no matter what it is that we love about it.

Pop culture also includes: games, movies, books, etc...

[@dr.nidhishendurnikar5126]

Excellent.. conveys a lot of conceptual clarity about pop culture in a simple way

[@1D8B8N8]

Indeed it's a universal ♾️ language 🕊️✌️

[@luckfeather5453]

Agreed. I like tv so obscure that it’s on the public domain. Just entertain yourself with whatever works for you.

[@tiffanykopchak]

What a fun guy. Loved the message.

[@verbimu]

It says something about our better nature 🥺

[@VisuallyMediocre]

he does not say luke.

[@JimKanaris]

This is a good Tedx Talk that exemplifies, I think, the third of four categories Bruce F. Forbes and Jeffrey H. Mahan describe in their book _Religion and Popular Culture in America_ (2003) describe as "popular culture as religion".

[@bluedebussy5799]

pop culture is just that, popular culture. not long lasting or deep, its the general dominant very much western internet based culture. it does bring people together but it also divides them like any facet of human culture.

[@MegaHellrasier]

i disagree with the idea that pop culture isn't long lasting and deep for i believe pop culture much more grander than that but i think your right for the most part actually

[@atheistcrusader1160]

How's this on Ted?

[@cevan2116]

need to watch this just for the sake of a fking recitation in class

Fun fact - it's actually "no, i am your father"

[@artshayler8747]

He calls himself an expert on Pop Culture and then wrongly quotes possibly one of the most iconic cinematic quotes ever.

[@pops1507]

Note on TCM/"39 Steps" He says Donat and Mr. Memory appear "at the same theatre" in the opening and concluding scenes. I don't think so. The first is a raucous music hall with a lively bar crowd. The last is the more-sober London Palladium.

Pop culture is all about trying to relate

[@theodorefrazier2989]

I don't see the point of trying to be interested in something that you're not just because the majority is interested in it. There are other ways to relate. The weather, almost everyone has a family, etc.also I'm a big proponent of people finding their try versus trying to relate with everybody.
