How is it that the descendant of a Catholic Priest is also a Catholic Priest? Aren't their rules against this sort of thing? That and other quandaries are addressed as the Popped crew and special guest Susan Wilde discuss the 1980 John Carpenter horror hit, THE FOG. 

What is this strange Fog rolling into the scenic bay towns of Northern California and why does it carry death with it? Did Carpenter really strike gold twice with this hit? Join us as we talk about the film. it's stars, what we could have done without, how we are familiar with Janet leigh, if there was anything someone might have missed that we caught, and ultimately our POPPED ratings of this horror classic. 

We'll be there soon, pounding on your door, standing in a fog, just waiting for you to walk outside so we can ... ask if you know our Lord and Saviour, John Carpenter.

Daniel, Tanya and Guest Host Eric Cheung discuss the Michael Bay Science Fiction/Action spectacular summer blockbuster flop of 2005, "The Island".

What does a director known for making 2 hour popcorn commercials do with weighty, heady material surrounding the question of "what it is to be human"? Will the story be as good as the action? Or is it just another fluff piece disguised as a thought provoking science fiction examination of deeper meaning?

* Intro - Facts about "The Island" (2005)
* Popped Mail - Letters and messages from you!
* Main discussion - Our initial thoughts and continued discussion about the film
* I coulda done without that! - Things that did not work
* Yeah, I know that dude - We take a closer look at actor Ethan Phillips
*Popped Academy - Awards for Best and Worst Performance
*Trivia - About "The Island"
*Let's get to POPPIN'! - We rate the film

Our intrepid podcasters venture into the frozen North, following a clan of Vikings and an Arab who are called upon to help a Nordic King under siege from an unknown enemy. A mix of the epic tale "Beowolf" and the historical account of Ahmad Ibn Fahdlan, the 13th warrior has it all. Adventure, danger, story, action, humor ... yet, despite having Antonio Banderas as its leading man, it flopped upon release and is considered one of the biggest movie flops of its time. 

We re-examine the film and discuss it's qualities and whether it deserves the criticism it received. Segments this episode are:
Intro, Discussion, I coulda done without that (Where we discuss something that didn't work for us in the film), Academy of Popped (new segment where we award best and worst actors of the film), Yeah, I know that dude (where we focus on a particular actor from the film), Trivia, and Let's Get to Poppin' (Where we rate the film with "Pops"), and our outro.

Grab your sword and board and get ready for a great discussion as we sail on a long boat over the rough seas to the north and discuss 1999's the 13th Warrior.

The Popped crew remember their fathers who all passed within the last two years. They reminisce on their fathers favorite, movies, television shows and music relating how their fathers either encouraged or influenced their own choices in pop culture.

This show is the end-result of a long hiatus due to these deaths and a complete meltdown of Daniel's computer. Now that the computer is fixed, the Popped crew will resume their show but wanted to honor their fathers and the Popped viewers with an episode that explains their recent absence. 

So, sit back, grab some corn and get ready for an unusually heartfelt episode of Popped.
