One Shot! : "Classics"
Hello and welcome to this cautiously controversial episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!
In this week's One Shot, Ben and Rob go against the grain and tackle films considered classics that they believe ain't all that. This episode features Ben dreaming of the triumphant return of a murderer, Rob reaching his twee limit and feeling physically sick and some actual movie discussion too. What more could you want?
Oh, and the link discussed is to be found here (spoilers!) With thanks as always to Laurence Owen of longcatmedia.com for the theme music. Please follow us on: Instagram @popcornbucketpod, Twitter @popcornbucketpd, GoodPods @PopcornBucket or visit us at www.thepopcornbucket.com

Franchise Fatigue? Jurassic World
Hello and welcome to this Franchise Fatigue? episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast.
This time, despite a previous dinosaur related experience, the podcast is fully operational, and we look at the Jurassic World trilogy.

One Shot: Movies with a Twist
Hello and welcome to a twisting and turning episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast.
This time a listener suggestion sends our daring duo to look at films with a twist.
Featuring a brief discussion about the nature of twists in films, two twisting types of theatrical releases, and a poorly planned out return to a sort of sketch opening (please see our episodes on The Matrix and Magical Films for reference).
As always, there are spoilers throughout, so listen with caution, and perhaps enjoy this episode whilst taking a nice cold drink with a twist of lemon.

Pick ‘N Mix: June 2023 - Trailers, News, & Chat
Hello and welcome to this Pick ‘N Mix Episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast.
This time we are reminiscing about June 2023, in what starts out as rather acorny episode.
There is some non-Spider-Man Spider-Man News, fantastic facts about Fast and Furious, and the usual trailers and news discussion. Plus, more Robservations and RecoBendations (which is a feature that is definitely catching on, and needs a jingle).
This episode really lives up to the ‘Nonsense’ promise, apologies. Apodlogies.

Franchise Fatigue? Fantastic Beasts (Harry Potter and the Wizarding World Part 5)
Hello and welcome to this Franchise Fatigue? Episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast.
This week we return (for the final time!), and go back further than before, to talk about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and the sequels. Three wizarding films in one episode?! It’ll never catch on.
This time we search for the gold within the franchise, like a pair of podcasting Nifflers, and, like Bowtruckles, unpick our (and The Popcorn Bucket Podcast’s) ultimate ranking of the Harry Potter and Wizarding World films. There is no Swooping Evil here, just revelations from Ben, and lots of rain, both the physical and the forgetful kind. (Insert tenuous linking to magical creatures from films two and three here)
