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:

Hello and welcome to this ludicrously lovey-dovey episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

Another Valentine's Day is upon us and that means that Ben and Rob must once more teach the world how to love again. Rather than online courses or one-to-one mentorship, they've chosen the laziest thing possible and have suggested a few romantic movies that might possibly get you in the mood for love (or at the very least make you less hateful).

Spoilers!

Films discussed are:

Priceless

Hello and welcome to this curious and cobblestoned episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This time, Ben and Rob don deerstalkers and immediately cast them aside before being rocked by a slow motion explosion with the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes films.

Hello and welcome to this holistically wholesome episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

The start of any new year sucks, but this one especially so. However, don't abandon all hope, because your trusted movie physicians, Ben and Rob, are here with their annual sparring match over films that make them (and hopefully you) get a heaping helping of the warm fuzzies. If niceness is infectious, their two picks are riddled with it. Tasty!

Hello and welcome to a hesitantly hopeful episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

As is dictated on the ancient Tablet of Podcast Prophecy, we spend the first month of a new calendar year getting all excited an' that for whatever exciting treats the fresh 365 days have to offer.

There's chat about forthcoming TV that has us on tenterhooks, books that have us breathless, games that have us going gaga and, of course, films that have us frothing at the mouth.

Hello and welcome to the first episode of a fresh new year!

And what better way to start off the proper space age sounding year of 2025, than by looking back at the recently completed 2024?

As is traditional in our Cultural Review episodes (this year; 2024 - What Did We Adore?), we don’t just stick with our usual topic of film, but take on books, music, games, and podcasts.

Is this episode a return to form? Maybe. But that phrase is used. A lot.

Hello and welcome to a wonderfully wintery episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This week, Ben and Rob return to tradition, embarking on their fourth Christmas head-to-head to find out who has the superior seasonal sense. They may be at odds with each other, but like nearly all Christmas fights, they'll calm down once they've eaten an ungodly amount of food and passed out in front of the TV.

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?

Hello and welcome to terrifically tinsel themed television episode!

This week, in what may have been a long time coming, we eschew our usual focus on feature films, and instead turn our attention to the small screen, as we look at our favourite festive television episodes.

Hello and welcome to this totally terrifying edition of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

In this third installment of their annual battle, Ben and Rob once again must face their fears and confront the things that go bump in the night as both trembling twits reach for a creepy cudgel to beat the other with.

Hello and welcome to this gloriously govern-mental edition of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! In this episode, Ben and Rob have shrewdly observed that everything's got a bit political of late. Not ones to want to fall behind the zeitgeist, B & R slap on some slogan badges, pick up their placards and Google what politics is before each chooses to platform their own slice of cinematic political perfection.

Hello and welcome to this specially skilled episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This time, Ben and Rob hunt down the Taken trilogy! Join them as they traverse the murky waters of Divorced Dad-dom, round the Cape of Xenophobia before hitting the open waters of Geri-action.

If you don't listen to this episode, we will find you and we will...tell you we completely understand and wish you a good day.

Also, sincere apologies for the sound quality and Ben's raspy voice. We had some technical gremlins and Ben was getting over a nasty bug that unfortunately made him sound like a gremlin.

Hello and welcome to this certifiably squeaky episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This time, Ben and Rob scrabble up the nearest nut-filled tree to get to grips with the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies!

Expect plenty of pitch perfect puns, a smattering of sulky cynicism and dollops of disbelief. Plus, a healthy discussion about which movie is the Least Chipmunk! (This joke only works if people know the Least Chipmunk is a species of chipmunk, maybe go for something a bit less niche Ben?)

Hello and welcome to this loquacious legacy episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This time, your fave fishes-out-of-water ditch their mundane everyday experiences for the alluring artificiality of Beverly Hills as they take a look at the mighty Beverly Hills Cop series.

With an episode that hits like a banana up the tailpipe, your podbois have a lot to say for themselves. Ben lands many a diss on a certain director, whereas Rob stumbles out of the gate by turning up to the wrong police academy entirely. Now if they could just get that infuriatingly catchy (or should that be crazy?) theme out of their heads...

Hello and welcome to this (slightly) historical episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast, as we take a look at two films that were released in 2014. Using a tried a tested One Shot scenario of ‘films that might be very slightly older than you think’, we reminisce of times (and hats) past, talk about AI, and learn about different ways of studying flowers and photographs.

Hello and welcome to this comically claw-some edition of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

Hello and welcome to this skilfully spun edition of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! In this episode, Ben and Rob bring their favourite spin-off movies to the table, possibly to battle them like Beyblades.

This week, your podbois seem to be on the same wavelength and have come prepared. You know that awesome trope where two old foes fight and match each other move for move, each countering what the other can throw at them? This is nothing like that. This is more akin to an old married couple who've heard everything the other has to say and sit in a stony silence, the sense of resentment ever building.

Hello and welcome to a rather delayed Pick n Mix episode! Firstly, apodlogies for the delay, partly caused by being distracted by this week’s election. So now here is an historical document in which we look at June 2024. We talk about trailers for Here, Venom, Paddington in Peru, and Late Bloomers. Plus Ben gets heated about Google, frantic about “fans”, and potty over pigs. There is also a lot of Cruise News. There is also an incident of cat invasion. Also apodlogies for the sound issues at a few points throughout this episode, some of which was definitely caused by the aforementioned cats.

Hello and welcome to this ostensibly odd episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! In the penultimate pod of this Star Wars season, Ben and Rob wrangle the oddballs and outliers of the franchise. This week, it's The Clone Wars, Rogue One and Solo's time under the microscope. In this Star Destroyer of an episode, Ben has corridor concerns and calls for the return of gatekeeping. Rob explains why he'd rather go rogue than solo and the pair take it in turns to mop up the other one's bile. Lovely. Thanks, as always, to Laurence Owen of Long Cat Media for our theme music.

Then join them in five years' time where they'll redo this episode and make it somehow worse.
