October 19, 2021 One Shot: Movies from 2010
Hello and welcome to this particularly scrappy One Shot episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This week, The Random Popcorn Maker has popped out the year 2010, so Ben and Rob put their best feet forward and arm themselves with two (hopefully) unique movies released in 2010 to battle against each other.
In this episode, Ben hasn't done his homework (shock) and tries listening to his heart, Rob clicks and whistles about disgusting ways to eat prawns and the pair workshop band names.

October 04, 2021 One Shot: Clint Eastwood
Hello and welcome to this particularly grizzled and gruff One Shot episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! The Random Popcorn Vague Concept Device of Convenience is still on the fritz (apparently) so we're answering another listener call and endeavouring to find the Eastwoodiest film possible. Will Rob leave his comfort zone and step outside the box? Will Ben actually manage to win one this time? [Third tantalizing question template goes here] DON'T FORGET, BEN. IT ALWAYS LOOKS INCREDIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL WHEN YOU LEAVE THE PLACEHOLDERS IN. The answers and more can only be found by listening to this week's episode!
