National treasure Miranda Otto is here to talk about her new film The War of the Rohirrim. The anime adventure expands JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings with a story about Helm Hammerhand and the battle to save his people at the fortress that would come to be known as Helm's Deep. In a special Popcorn Podcast chat, Otto shares what it was like to revisit her iconic character Éowyn, her admiration of Hera’s strong female voice and reveals what it would take for her to return in a live action LOTR film.

Venture to Middle Earth with Popcorn Podcast and The War of the Rohirrim co-writers Arty Papageorgiou and Phoebe Gittins. The duo takes us behind the scenes of their new original film that reawakens JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings in a way we haven’t seen before – as anime – with a story inspired by part of an appendix Tolkien wrote detailing the history of Rohan’s rulers. In our chat, we discover how Papageorgiou and Gittins convinced Miranda Otto to reprise her role as Eowyn; why hero Hera is so much more than a warrior princess; and why anime was the only approach to do this epic adventure justice – plus, stick around for a tease about their highly-anticipated next project, The Hunt For Gollum.

Friend of the podcast Melissa Barrera returns to Popcorn Podcast to talk new film Your Monster, the beastly rom-com/horror from Caroline Lindy that's all about embracing your inner rage. Barrera stars as soft-spoken actress Laura opposite Tommy Dewey (Saturday Night) as the monster who has been living in her closet since childhood.

Leigh and Tim dive into Gladiator 2, starring a wild Paul Mescal, the regal Connie Nielsen, a mysterious Pedro Pascal and King Denzel Washington.

Jason Scott Lee joins Popcorn Podcast to talk passion project The Wind and The Reckoning (aka The Reckoning), Hawaii's first native language film to receive a wide release. The movie, inspired by real events, follows the rebellion of a small group of Native Hawaiians as they courageously resist government-mandated exile during an outbreak of leprosy in 19th-century colonial Hawaii. In our chat, Lee (Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Mulan) shares more about this story of resilience and cultural identity, and what it means for Hawaiian people; what it was like filming a movie about a pandemic during an actual pandemic; and the groundbreaking film that still blows his mind.
