This week’s episode of Popcast (Deluxe), the weekly culture roundup show on YouTube hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, includes segments on:
-
The queer teen horror-comedy “Bottoms,” the second film from Emma Seligman, which stars Ayo Edibiri and Rachell Sennott, and sends up both teen raunch comedies of the 1980s and 2000s as well as conventional coming-of-age stories. Also discussed: the links between “Bottoms” and the summer blockbuster “Barbie,” and also the Netflix Sandler-family vehicle “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.”
-
The summer in reality television, including “Hip Hop Treasures,” “Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets,” and the social media storytelling that’s accompanied Deion Sanders’s arrival as coach of the football team at University of Colorado Boulder.

Recent books about hip-hop mixtapes and fashion
