OMG! News-Herald.com has a pop culture blog?!

That’s right, readers. Welcome aboard “Tuned into Pop Culture,” where a few times a week, we will delve into the worlds of TV, movies, music, video games, gadgets and all that other stuff that keeps you from being productive at work.

Our often irreverent, but never irrelevant trio of pop culturists, Mark Meszoros, Mark Podolski and Tom Valentino, are guiding the ship, and we plan to hit on all sorts of topics - whether it’s Mez’s thoughts on the upcoming Oscar nominations, Podo turning back the clock with a war story from “NHL 95” on Sega Genesis (“I’m gonna make Gretzky’s head bleed for number 99 super fan over there”) or Tino tearing himself away from a Foo Fighters album long enough to track the trail of Jack Bauer.

So the next time you feel like you have a case of the Mondays because your boss is standing outside your cubicle wanting to know why you didn’t put a cover sheet on your TPS report, drop by “Tuned into Pop Culture” and waste a few minutes with us.
