Welcome to the inaugural first episode of Is Pepsi Okay? A conversation show about choices, decisions, preferences and if you can't get this, is that okay? hosted by Perry Jackson

We're kicking off our show with the eternal question: Coke or Pepsi? Perry is joined by Maxwell Roahrig, another gentleman from the internet. We discuss our origins in podcasting and writing, what are the best first episodes, Shelley Duvall's Fairie Tale Hour before getting into our topic at hand. We taste test to find out what's an Always Pour or a Sometimes Treat and go into a little bit of the history.

Coke or Pepsi?

We've reached Episode 2! For today's question, Perry is joined by writer/filmmaker/programmer for We Really Like Her & the Punch-Up Queen herself Emily Gagne to discuss film programming, writing, podcasting roots before jumping in to an earnest talk about whether we'd rather have cats or dogs. We talk about their history (kind of), our history with both animals, and our recent experiences cat and dogsitting. Disclaimer: there is talk of cat pee and dog poop.

Cats or Dogs?

How did we get to episode 3? Perry is joined by Film Programmer/Multi-Hyphenate Alicia Fletcher to talk Elaine May, Charles Grodin, Shake Shack and Oakville specific Blockbusters before diving in to this week’s question: Red or White Wine? Did Perry screw up not chilling the white wine earlier? Does Alicia read him on it? Yes and Yes. We also play everyone’s new favourite party game: Winelebrity.

Can you believe there's a fourth episode now! This week, Perry is joined by Felicia Maroni, Host of the Seeing Faces in Movies podcast to talk insights on a year of podcasting and David Cronenberg before diving in to our discussion this week on Ketchup or Mustard. We discuss the roots of each condiment and the different varieties of mustard while taste testing some fries in both condiments. Do we have some hot takes on hot mustard? You bet we do.

We're alive and on episode five! Perry is joined by Young Gun/Hot Shot/Beverage Gal/Queen of Irish Exits Lacey Novinka to talk about the VHS shelf growing up and M. Night Shyamalan before diving into our topic: Introvert or Extrovert. We talk about the differences in each, the history of the terminology with Carl Jung (Lacey's personal friend), and bring you the first instalment of Astrology Corner. We also take Susan Cain's quiz to find out where we are on the spectrum and make sure to listen to find out our opinions on what's better, freezies or orange slices after a soccer game.

Introvert or Extrovert?

It's been a while but we finally got to episode 6 after a long time away and we're back with a highly teased episode! Perry is joined by We Really Like Her's Danita Steinberg to talk rep theatres and Seinfeld before a discussion on Soup or Salad?

We go into the history of each and try to figure out what came first, we learn when the soup spoon was first invented and we celebrate a momentous anniversary for the Caesar salad. We also get into some pretty big takes on bread dipping and find out the answer to our question is more nuanced than a choice.

Is Pepsi Okay is back! It's been a bit since we had an ep but we're pushing something for the month of January (that'll probably go into February) called Panuary! All month long, each episode will be on pizza in all different form factors and ways.

We're kicking it off with Hollywood Suite's Cam Maitland to talk Arby's and fall down Jared Fogle's IMDB page before diving into what's the better slice cut, Triangle or Square? We talk the history of slice cuts, cutting with scissors as all great Italians do, the square slice in the middle of a party pizza, and of course, Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert's Double Crust Pizza Ring.

The second episode of Panuary is upon us on Is Pepsi Okay? with Drag Artist/Film Programmer Weird Alice joins Perry and talk their upcoming series' screenings at the Paradise Theatre, the Leprechaun series, and Nick's Sex Aquarium before diving into our topic of Cheese or Toppings?

We go into the history of what were the first toppings, was cheese considered one then? Is Extra Cheese a scam? How many is too many toppings? Is cheese pizza the best way to grade a spot? Are you a dipper, a no-dipper, or dip-dependent? Where can we get the cartoon pizza from A Goofy Movie? Let's open up the box and find out.
