We check out the new Nic Cage movie, Prisoners of the Ghostland, a sci-fi neo-noir directed by Japanese director Sion Sono, about a nameless hero sent out into the wasteland to retrieve a lost "grandaughter." The film is mostly known for a certain "explosive" scene, but how does the rest of the film stack up? We share our thoughts on this episode of Good Pop.

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC

NAATCO returns to The Public with their production of Shakespeare's trilogy, HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS, adapted and directed by Stephen Brown-Fried. Condensed into two parts and performed in rep, experience this saga of a nation spinning wildly out of control. Part 1: Foreign Wars kicks off with the funeral of King Henry V, leaving his infant son on the throne and sending the country into decades of spiraling chaos both abroad and at home. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later, as nascent domestic feuds rapidly metastasize into the full-blown civil war known as the War of the Roses.
