Franchise Fatigue? Fantastic Beasts (Harry Potter and the Wizarding World part 4)
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)

One Shot! : Box Office Bombs
Hello and welcome to this fantastically floppy episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This week, Ben and Rob talk turkeys as they compete over films that failed financially.

Franchise Fatigue? Mission: Impossible - Part 2: What’s in a Name?
Hello and welcome to The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! Through a weird quirk of fate / paying attention to our back catalogue, this week is our 60th episode! Which tied in nicely with Tom Cruise’s 60th birthday (on the day we recorded). Only one of these do we make reference to this episode.
This week we return to the named films of Mission: Impossible. There’s a little flashback to a New Year’s Eve of years past, and a bit of singing (sort of). Masks are counted, delivery mechamissions are noted, and biceps are reloaded.
As a disclaimer, we had some issues with the sound this week, so apologies for the poor quality. We hope you choose to accept this episode!

Hello and welcome to this frenetically festive Franchise Fatigue? episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This week Ben and Rob don their filthiest vests and language (well, Ben does) and take on the Die Hard series. Join them as they attempt to bury the Christmas movie discussion once and for all, fall out over which is the best of the not-very-good sequels and frantically scramble to figure out that darned water jug bomb puzzle. Yippee-Ki-Yay!

One Shot: Musicals
Hello and welcome to this toe-tappin' One Shot episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! In their final pod of the definitely well-thought-out Show-vember, tireless warriors Rob and Ben prepare to do battle over who has picked the best musical and attempt to bludgeon the other into submission. Their epic fight takes them from the glitz and glamour of the big city to the remote mountains and everywhere in-between. With the vaguely cop-out "Film Wins!" resolution swept from the table, the gloves are off and the stakes couldn't be higher. Are we overselling this? You decide! (but the answer's yes)

One Shot: Hans Zimmer
Hello and welcome to this particularly orchestral One Shot episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!
This week, and indeed, month, we're continuing with our musical Show-vember theme. This episode, Ben and Rob battle over who has picked the best Hans Zimmer soundtrack.
Will Ben stop at nothing to entertain the audience? Did Rob really think he could slip in his usual references to Amélie, Parks and Rec AND Doctor Who without Ben noticing, even if it's only in the episode description? Will PodDog make another exciting cameo?
The answers to these questions and more await within!

Franchise Fatigue? High School Musical
Hello and welcome to this very special Franchise Fatigue? episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This week, the boys are back to tackle the High School Musical franchise. As the Random Popcorn Maker of Film Topics seems to be stuck on all things musical, we figured we'd roll with it and adopt the theme for the entire month. Good people of Podland, welcome to Show-vember!
In this episode Ben and Rob discuss their personal high school experiences, the secrets (and possibly bodies) the parents are hiding from the East High gang and Rob's depressing idea for High School Musical 4
Go Wildcats!

One Shot: MGM Classics
Hello and welcome to this particularly musical One Shot episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This week, The Random Popcorn Maker is apparently too bone idle to come up with its own ideas, so a listener request of MGM classics has been chosen!
As with all One Shot episodes, it's Ben vs Rob as they battle their mystery picks in the hope that each nerd can sway the opinion of the other.
This week, a change of tactics is evident in both competitors. Rob switches up the jelly animal he talks about and tries to get by on a technicality and Ben takes a lesson from shows like The X Factor and aims a precision strike at the feels.
Will either plan work? You know what you have to do to find out!

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.

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!
