This week on Popcorn and Beers, the guys dive into Weapons for the Butter on Top and revisit the gritty classic Taxi Driver for the Drunk Classic, leaning heavily on storytelling talk along the way. In Josh’s absence, Frye and Jordan lament his missing presence (yes, there were tears), but still manage to detour into stand-up chatter—covering Marc Maron’s new special and the surprise drop of Eddie Murphy’s latest film, which… was fine. The conversation veers through the new season of Wednesday, Jordan finally finishing The Bear, and his take on the Storm Area 51 documentary. Next week’s Butter on Top is Josh’s pick: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Movie Buzz02:53 Exploring 'Weapons': A Mysterious Narrative06:01 Character Dynamics and Performances09:03 Themes of Suspense and Humor11:53 Audience Reactions and Ratings15:00 Transition to 'Taxi Driver'17:59 First Impressions of 'Taxi Driver'20:59 Cultural Impact and Controversial Themes24:00 Final Thoughts and Ratings28:48 Character Development and Relationships in TV Shows32:06 The Impact of Comedy on Social Commentary34:19 Reviewing New Seasons: Wednesday and The Bear37:16 Critiquing Poorly Executed Films39:29 Documentary Insights: Storm Area 5146:32 Exploring New Releases: The Pickup58:25 Classic Film Recommendations and Upcoming Releases

Scarlett JoJo tried her best, guys. and it wasnt a trash heap, but formula isnt enough, in the end. Adam west did NOT try his best guys. but if you want a peak at how superhero cinema was once viewed, take a gander at the 1966 movie.we also checked out squid game season 3, and so did they. a lil bit.cant wait for the american spinoff /sThere is plenty more to see this week, and we got into some things, but technical difficulties left us limping a bit. We will assuredly rectify this in the future. sorry guys. we love you more than a fat kid loves cake. see you at the movies. stay cool. stay pretty.

This week’s Butter on Top is the action-packed John Wick spinoff Ballerina — and Frye thought it absolutely delivered. Explosive, sleek, and stylish, it had just enough Wick-ness to leave an impression.Our Drunk Classic pick came from Frye: House Arrest, the ‘90s family comedy starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. Does the nostalgia hold up? We weigh in.Josh and Frye also binged Tires: Season 2 on Netflix — and it’s official: this one’s become top-tier comfort content.In our Classic Killer segment (aka the movies that got watched solo and killed off as future Drunk Classics), Josh crossed a major must-watch off his list: Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. A stone-cold classic that should be required viewing.On the animated side of things:    •    Josh checked out Castlevania: Nocturne (Season 1)    •    Frye dove into Predator: Killer of KillersBoth brought stylish action and strong storytelling.To round things out, Frye watched The Last Showgirl starring Pamela Anderson — a surprising standout that caught us off guard.🎯 Next Week’s Picks:    •    Butter on Top: the brand-new How to Train Your Dragon remake (in theaters!)    •    Drunk Classic: Hot Rod — the Samberg classic we’ve all quoted way too much.

This week, the crew sinks their teeth into How to Train Your Dragon as our Butter on Top – and yes, it still soars. For our Drunk Classic, Josh brought the thunder with Hot Rod, a film we’ve all seen, quoted endlessly, and still laugh at like it’s 2007.We also went on a classic killer binge:    •    Josh revisited the sharp and chaotic brilliance of Burn After Reading – one of his all-time favorites.    •    Frye caught up with Blockers, a surprisingly heartfelt raunchy comedy.    •    Jordan caught up on last week’s Drunk Classic, House Arrest, and somehow made it sound deeper than it is.    •    The gang returned to In a Violent Nature, previously reviewed by Frye, to see if the slasher vibe still hits.We also checked out the fantastical and mysterious Legend of Ochi, and dove into Killer of Killers, the new Predator animated series – and yes, it’s as intense as it sounds.🎬 Next Week:    •    Butter on Top: 28 Years Later – we’re very ready for this one.    •    Drunk Classic: Above the Rim – time to honor the legend Tupac on the court.Listen in for laughs, debates, beer ratings, and way too much love for Andy Samberg
