Cross-Eyed Bear
Cross‑Eyed Bear is a podcast where pop culture gets pulled apart, stitched back together, and occasionally side‑eyed. Hosts Chris and Tristan dive into movies, music, books, and the moments that shape them—mixing thoughtful analysis with real conversation, unexpected tangents, and the occasional hot take. Whether revisiting classics or unpacking what’s trending now, Cross‑Eyed Bear is for curious minds who like their culture thoughtful, funny, and just a little off‑center.
