It’s Halloween on Popcorn & Sidquest! 🎃

This week, I’m diving into all things spooky — from the year’s best horror movies to the weirdest true story ever brought to life on screen. I’ll be talking about Roofman, Gen V, Only Murders in the Building, and the Chainsaw Man movie that’s about to hit cinemas.

I’ve also got the latest pop culture headlines, including South Africa’s RAW Film Festival and the global Xbox Live outage, plus all the upcoming movie releases you won’t want to miss.

Oh — and there’s a big announcement too

Grab your popcorn and join me for a Halloween special filled with scares, laughs, and a little chaos.

Would you like me to create a short teaser version of this for your podcast platforms or Instagram caption too?

Episode 2 of Popcorn & Sidequests is here, and this week it’s all about heroes, on screen, on the page, and in our games.

I kick things off with exciting news about the upcoming Wicked screening for fans, then dives into the biggest headlines in entertainment, from Warner Bros. shake-ups and superhero updates to new projects lighting up Hollywood.

In Coming Attractions, I breaks down this week’s movie releases and what to look forward to on streaming. Then it’s time for What I’ve Been Watching, where I chat about Only Murders in the Building, 30 Rock, and Chad Powers — plus what kind of show I'm hunting for next.

Over in What I’ve Been Playing, I'm still living my best wizard life in Hogwarts Legacy and checking what’s fresh on Game Pass.

This week’s Top 5 celebrates the standout superheroes of 2025 — from Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to Thunderbolts. And don’t miss The Mystery Box, where one lucky listener wins movie tickets!
