Who We Are

In 1990, MediaConnection was born. Covering pop culture MediaConnection appeared in print, online and produced live events. In 2016 MediaConnection evolved into Premier Pop C. Premier Pop C combines the decades of experience with a fresh perspective on pop culture.

We love pop culture. We are movie fans and avid readers. We seek out the best of pop culture, whether it is a new release, a classic film from the 1940s or a great novel from the 1800s. We are looking for the best in entertainment but more than anything else, we look for the story. It could be the plot of a film or novel, the story arc of a television series or comic book or the story that comes forth from your imagination as you play a game or set up a group of action figures. We also cover the story behind the scenes. What is going on with the company that produces the movie.

We want to bring you the world of pop culture as you may not have seen it. You may know the Justice League, but do you know the influence Akira Kurosawa had on them? We’ll explore connections between The Seven Samurai, The Magnificent Seven and the Justice League. As remakes abound, we’ll reintroduce you to the original films and novels that spawned them. We’ll keep you up-to-date on what is going on the world of pop culture and connect you to its vast history.

Come with us and explore the pinnacle of pop culture. Welcome to Premier Pop C.
