Franchise Fatigue? : The Mexico Trilogy

Wednesday, March 26, 2025 • Duration 01:31:25

Hello and welcome to this murderously musical episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!This time, Ben and Rob grab their suspiciously heavy guitar cases and hunt down Robert Rodriguez's Mexico trilogy, starting with El Mariachi, moving on to Desperado and finishing with a spicy Once Upon a Time in Mexico chaser.

Expect attempts at speaking Spanish, fanboying and vague memories of induction classes and obscure PlayStation games.

Ben would also like to apologise for his mic stand failing about 20 minutes in and subsequently sounding like he's about 20 miles away from the microphone. He is extremely sorry and handsome.Thanks, as always, to Laurence Owen of Long Cat Media for our theme music.Please follow us on:

Franchise Fatigue? Home Alone 2 (lost in endless sequels)

Episode 166

Thursday, December 19, 2024 • Duration 01:01:51

Hello and welcome to a feverishly festive Franchise Fatigue episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

This week, due to no demand whatsoever, we return to the Home Alone series, to finish what we started last year, as we look at the (at time of podcasting and writing), most recent three films in the cinematic universe of Christmas child misplacing.

The short version; your two ghosts of Christmas past (as this was recorded in 2023), watched Home Alones 4 through 6 so you don’t have to. The real question is, will we be able to keep our Christmas joy throughout? Or will it be lost amongst a snowstorm of Lego traps and extra spicy gingerbread cookies?

Please rate and review on your podcast app of choice, and share on your social network of choice. We are on Instagram and Threads @popcornbucketpod.
