POP-UP'S are POPSKL's short form, bite-sized, in the moment responses to anything and everything pop culture that happens to catch their fancies. From TV episodes to movies, movie trailers, comic books and maybe "at convention" moments, be prepared to get commentary on the things they love.

POPSKL will bring their professional creative backgrounds to these lively, thoughtful and spontaneous examinations and sometimes even may have a guest or two along for the ride.

In this episode we taste and savor The Menu, now on HBO Max. How much can Ralph Fiennes do while doing so little, the perfect final girl, and how would Claire "punish" Justin during The Menu?
