Hello and welcome to the first episode of a fresh new year!

And what better way to start off the proper space age sounding year of 2025, than by looking back at the recently completed 2024?

As is traditional in our Cultural Review episodes (this year; 2024 - What Did We Adore?), we don’t just stick with our usual topic of film, but take on books, music, games, and podcasts.

Is this episode a return to form? Maybe. But that phrase is used. A lot.

Please rate and review on your podcast app of choice, and share on your social network of choice. We are on Instagram and Threads @popcornbucketpod.

With thanks as always to Laurence Owen of Long Cat Media for the theme music!
