The Popcorn Bucket Podcast

Hello and welcome to this patently political episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

Halloween may be over for another year, but that doesn't mean that Ben and Rob are done Purging. They've joined the Ever After Podders to keep the party going for as long as possible. After all, who doesn't love those people who refuse to go home when everyone else wants to sleep? Exactly.

In this exquisite episode, both The First Purge and The Forever Purge are covered, bringing the series as it stands to a close and ripe for ranking in the Popcorn Bucket List.

Hello and welcome to this purgingly patriotic episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

With All Hallow's Eve upon us, Ben and Rob have decided to dress up in their best slutty costumes, cover their car in fairy lights and go out looking for trouble by binging The Purge franchise.

In this exsanguinating episode, they cover the first three entries in the series, namely The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year.

Hello and welcome to this freaky follow-up episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

This time, Ben and Rob explore the wider Freakverse and cast their eyes over three other versions of the classic body-swapping bonanza. There's the original 1976 one, the hard-to-find 1995 one and full-on musical one from 2018. Plus, there's the Bucket List, where all versions are weighed and measured. Will they be found wanting? You know what to do to find out!

Hello and welcome to this colossally conclusive episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

In this episode, Ben and Rob bid farewell to all things Spider-Man (for now, at least) with a look over their favourite bits and things of the entire Spidey saga (with some mild Brand New Day spoilers to boot). Plus, we finally arrive at the Bucket List ranking for all the movies so far. It's enough to give you the Peter Tingles.

Hello and welcome to this fantastically fresh episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

It's all led to this. Ben and Rob (like a billion dollars' worth of other people) have seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day and, by golly, they have some thoughts.

For those of you who haven't managed to see the movie yet, the pod starts with a spoiler-free section giving general, unspoilery thoughts on the film.

Next week: the final Spider-episode about some of Ben and Rob's favourite things from the entire series (of films, not their own podcasts) and the hotly anticipated and potential controversial Bucket List ranking. Spicy!

Greetings weary travellers and welcome to this epically entrancing episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

This week, The Random Popcorn Maker of Film Topics is on the blink, so Ben and Rob had to venture out to the cinema to see the latest Christopher Nolan epic, The Odyssey.

Expect chat about flexing, what kind of sea people are presented and whether or not Chris Nolan is a mad genius or an elitist snob . Strap yourselves to the mast, because this is a fittingly long one. Just maybe leave the ear waxing until later.

Hello and welcome to this greatly powerful episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

In what we could consider the dawn before a Brand New Day, your feckless FOSs (Friends of Spider-Man) get to grips with Spidey's introduction into the mighty Marvel Cinematic Universe and the three sensational subsequent Spider-Films that followed.

If you're sad to see our webslinging fun coming to an end, fear not True Believers! We'll have an episode dedicated to Brand New Day and then the patented Mega Ultra Bucket List (patent pending) in which we discuss all our favourite spider-things and finally give our ranking of the entire series!

So, tune in and thwip away! You know it makes (spider) sense.
