POPCANDY: Unwrapping pop cuture's hip and hidden treasures

By: Whitney Matheson, USA TODAY

Cult movies, comic books, indie rock, sci-fi, '80s greats, sweet links, general weirdness -- this is all the stuff of Pop Candy.

I write about what I love in pop culture, and I try to get to it before everyone else dives in, chews it up and spits it out. Wanna know what new series to DVR tonight? Which bands are worth the iTunes splurge? Is there a toothpaste that will keep your mouth plaque-free? (OK, so I can't help you with everything. But I try.)

In addition to daily posts, I deliver exclusive interviews, Twitter updates, music, video and other features. But really, it's the community that completes Pop Candy: As you'll discover, it's a very friendly place with many diverse and knowledgable people. Together, we party at meetups around the country. We create comics and things. We get to know each other virtually.

Pop Candy readers also like to talk -- a lot. Once you get comfortable reading the blog, I hope you'll poke around in the forum, where many of these folks will be chatting about everything from Lost to their favorite concert T-shirts.

I'm happy you're here, and I welcome your feedback and story tips at popcandy@usatoday.com.

Now, let's get back to the mustache tributes and Tron references, OK?
