Hello and welcome to a Pick ‘N Mix episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

It is in fact, our first Pick ‘N Mix for a while (first one of 2026, fact fans!), in which we round up film trailers and news. This time, we are talking about trailers for Digger, Forgotten Island, Matchbox, Clayface, Jumanji Open World, and Avengers Doomsday to name but six.

We also talk about Sam Neil and Glen Hansard.

Plus, popcorn buckets! Have they got “too much”?

Finally, Ben makes a surprising twitter revelation.

And I’d really like to hear the podcast Ben thought he was recording…

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.

Hello and welcome to this wickedly wall-crawling episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

Franchise knowers and pattern recognisers rejoice! After reviewing Raimi last week, it's time to weigh some Webb with the Amazing Spider-Man movies. Cards on the table time - Ben doesn't like these movies. Rob does. Can our heroes find some common ground before the pod has been fully cast? Will there be any table left visible underneath all the dramatically flung cards? Just which Spidey villain could Ross Kemp play?

You know what you have to do to find out!

Hello and welcome to this wonderfully webslinging episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

In celebration of their 200th episode, Beamin' Ben Browne and "Reliable" Rob Benyer decided to tackle one of Ben's white whale franchises- the spectacular Spider-Man series! (*not to be confused with the animated Spectacular Spider-Man series, which was pretty good too - Ben)

With a Brand New Day on the horizon, there seemed no better time to snap on the spandex and thwip all the way back to the early 2000s to the film series that changed the game for decades to come.Thanks, as always, to "Laudable" Laurence Owen of Long Cat Media for our theme music.

Join us as we look at designs, teams, and our dream cinematic match ups by way of toys, puddings, sacrifices, and 90s BBC sitcoms, to work out what our definitive

Popcorn Bucket Podcast Popcorn Bucket List of the Alien versus Predator versus Aliens versus Predators mega franchise.

Hello and welcome to another Franchise Fatigue episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

This week we continue our space exploration into the worlds of the Alien and Predator films, by looking at the epic crossovers of Alien Versus Predator and Alien Versus Predator: Requiem.

Do the films fit with the wider Alien Predator universe? They have a great tagline (Whoever Wins, Earth Loses), but do the films live up to that potential? Can your hosts find anything positive to say?

Next time, we will round off the whole of the Aliens and Predator franchises!

Hello and welcome to another episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This time your hosts load another coin into the podcast arcade machine as we take another look at video game movies.

Yes we have done this topic before, but the caveat in this new console generation is that the films in question have to actually be based on video games (the last time we did this, not so much).

Expect problematic product placement, moaning about Minecraft, and general gabbing about video games.

Spoilers!

The films discussed are:

Uncharted

Prince of Persia
