philospeak - high brow meets pop culture

http://philospeak.com

philospeak is a term I created a few years back to describe my so-called "high brow" take on pop culture. This includes many common, popular entertainment mediums: television, movies, radio-friendly music, popular literature, celebrities. I'm particularly interested in the strange and unexpected ways these items enrich our lives and generate a "collective unconscious": a modern day mythology.
