Popcorn for Breakfast – Details, episodes & analysis

Some may call it Christmas. Others may call it the “Super Bowl of Cinema.”  We just like to call it what it is…Oscars Nomination Day.

It’s a morning filled with dreaded anticipation, waiting to hear your favorite movies get selected for Cinema’s Highest honor by complete (and famous) strangers. Naturally, each year is filled with joyful celebrations as the voting members “got it right”, immediately followed by: “I’ve never even HEARD of that movie!”, or “NOOO! NOT [Insert Actor’s Name]”, or “THAT MOVIE IS TERRIBLE - HOW DID IT GET SO MANY NOMINATIONS!!!”.

Discussing the Good, the Bad, and the Emilia Perez, Cam & Kirk will champion their favorite nominees, and criticize the others because…they’re critics.

When you think of the films The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline there are probably two of quick thoughts that pop into your head: 1) the films’ iconic, stop-motion animation style and 2) the authors, Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman (respectively), that created those worlds and the characters within them. What may not be readily apparent is that that they are directed by the same visionary director, Henry Selick. Well, after a 13-year hiatus, that same director’s latest spooky stop-motion spectacle, Wendell & Wild, is now available to stream on Netflix. And this time, he collaborated with another transcendent creator, Oscar-Winner Jordan Peele. So, with all of that going for it, did Wendell & Wild live up to the sterling résumé of its creators? Listen in to hear our thoughts!

Talk about lucking out! Of course, we are reviewing this past weekend’s biggest box office winner, DC’s Black Adam. But, on top of that, the biggest DC movie news (possibly ever?) dropped just hours before our recording. So, stick around after our Black Adam review to hear our thoughts on James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over as co-CEOs of the newly-minted DC Studios including where Black Adam, that big cameo, and all of the other previous DCEU films stand heading into the new era at Warner/DC Studios!

Evil dies tonight! Or does it? This week, we are reviewing Halloween Ends, but perhaps the film should’ve been titled ‘Halloween Ends?’ and that’s not a spoiler. See, legendary horror director John Carpenter has been non-committal about this being the end of the series, citing money as the rationale to keep it going. And, while the ending of this movie seems to have an opinion on whether the franchise will continue, we all know anything can happen (or not happen) in Hollywood. In our Halloween Ends review, we’ll discuss all the performances and details, how this film compares to its predecessors, and whether or not this series should live on, or die off.

We've got a huge week of Movie & TV news for you on this edition of What's Poppin'! Moments before we recorded, The Hollywood Reporter dropped a massive article detailing some of the future DC films and shows that are in the works including a new Superman movie with Henry Cavill, a mystery James Gunn movie, and more!

So in this episode, we are going to break down the new casting and our thoughts on his fit. We'll also talk about how Horror is the hottest genre on the block right now, the cast of Dumb Money (Sony's adaptation of 'The Antisocial Network', a book about the GameStop stock saga), and so much more!

This week’s movie review is… well, not a movie at all really. Marvel Studios’ Werewolf by Night is being classified as a “special presentation” and in this straight to streaming age, there’s really no better way to describe it. Starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Laura Donnelly, Marvel’s Werewolf by Night special represents a massive departure from the typical Marvel formula both in terms of medium and content. In our Werewolf by Night review, we cover the special’s bold aesthetic choices, it’s place among recent Marvel Studios releases and much more. Is this a welcome reprieve from the Marvel formula? Or another phase 4 letdown? Join us and find out our answers to those questions and more!
