Hello and welcome to this rambunctious rule-breaking episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

This ain't your normal One Shot - these are street rules, baby!

Hello and welcome to The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!
We wish you a very happy new year, and what better way to start off a new year, than by looking back at an old one, as we cast out cultural and critical eyes over 2023.

Books (some may have not been released in 2023)
Music
Podcasts
Games (both video and board)
Television
And then, finally, 2023 in film.
But first, we settle the burning issue of who won the overall One Shots for the year…

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.

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)

Franchise Fatigue? Harry Potter Part 4
Hello and welcome to The Popcorn Bucket Podcast. This week we once again (once again) return to the Wizarding World, as we look at the finale to Harry Potter, with the two part Deathly Hallows films.
This episode, we take a rambling look at rambling through a forest, talk about the appropriate British curse word to use under duress, and plus there are a few laughs along the way. And, as an evergreen statement, Rob makes at least three jokes that Ben does not enjoy.
It all ends here.
Except it doesn’t as we still have the Fantastic Beasts films to talk about.
