Pop Culture
Welcome to Pop Culture, where we nerd out about music, books, movies, and fandoms—all the things that bring joy to nerd families like ours. At Nola Nerd Couple, we love sharing the things we’re passionate about, whether it’s finding a new favorite indie band, geeking out over Doctor Who, or discovering the latest Marvel adventure.
We know Star Wars is a big part of pop culture, but it’s such an important part of our lives that we gave it its own page! Here, we focus on everything else that makes pop culture awesome:
- Music: Whether it’s a new band we stumbled upon or a must-hear album, we love sharing the music that inspires us.
- Books: From epic sci-fi and fantasy to heartfelt literary fiction, these are the stories that stay with us.
- Movies: We’re equally at home watching quirky indie films or diving into superhero blockbusters.
- Fandoms: From Doctor Who to Marvel, we celebrate the communities and characters that bring people together.
So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or a Diet Dr. Pepper (no judgment here), and join us as we explore the best of pop culture from our nerdy, family-first perspective. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just starting your fandom journey, we’re here to celebrate with you.
