Emmy-winning actor Shawn Hatosy (The Pitt, Animal Kingdom) is on Popcorn Podcast to dig into one of his most compelling villains: Titus Danforth in the highly anticipated horror-comedy sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. Hatosy plays the volatile twin brother of Sarah Michelle Gellar's calculating Ursula Danforth, a man whose entire identity has been forged, and controlled, by his family. Ahead of the film's SXSW Film and TV Festival premiere, Hatosy opened up about finding the core of a character he calls "a monster his family built", the upsides and nasty resets of practical effects and what it's like going toe-to-toe with stunt fight queen – and Buffy herself – Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Beware, this episode contains mild spoilers for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.

Let's talk The Bride! Part horror, part gangster picture, part Hollywood musical, part feminist manifesto... and not what anyone expected. Maggie Gyllenhaal's wildly ambitious follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut, The Lost Daughter, stars Jessie Buckley as The Bride, Christian Bale as a vulnerable Frank, Annette Bening as the eccentric scientist who revives them, and Penélope Cruz and Peter Sarsgaard as the detectives closing in. We're discussing what Gyllenhaal gets gloriously right, where the film's ambition outpaces its execution, whether Buckley's extraordinary performance could earn her another Oscar nomination, and why – even with a divisive critical reception – The Bride! might still be the most interesting cinema release of 2026 so far.

Ghostface is back, and so is Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell). Popcorn Podcast reviews Scream 7, the franchise's seventh chapter and Neve Campbell's triumphant return to the role that defined her career.

We break down the film's wild production history (firings, walk-outs, wildfires), celebrate the kills that made us squirm and clap simultaneously, and ask the big question: is nostalgia enough to carry a franchise into its fourth decade? Plus, why Courteney Cox deserves better. Why the Ghostface reveal fizzled. Justice for Tatum (Rose McGowan). And what a beer tap has to do with any of this...

Baz Luhrmann returns to Popcorn Podcast to take us behind the scenes of his "cinematic poem", EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. The Oscar-nominated director, who recently brought Presley back to the big screen with ELVIS (2022), returns with something even more intimate and unexpectedly personal. EPiC isn’t just a documentary. It’s not a traditional concert film either. Luhrmann says it’s a cinematic dreamscape pieced together from the discovery of buried footage to create something far more insightful than his ELVIS blockbuster. Take a trip down memory lane with one of Australia's most visionary filmmakers, from ballroom dancing in rural Australia to rebuilding The King in 4K.

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights has arrived, and it’s already one of the most divisive films of the year. Popcorn Podcast is fresh from the Australian premiere to unpack why this bold reinterpretation swaps Emily Brontë’s chaste obsession for something far more erotic, stylised and confrontational. From Margot Robbie’s magnetic Catherine to Jacob Elordi’s intense Heathcliff, the film’s love it or hate it energy, and the jaw-dropping cinematography, lavish production design and fashion-forward costumes — plus the haunting soundtrack featuring original music from Charli XCX – is this tragic romance… or red flag central? Hit play and decide.
