  • Franchise Fatigue? : Spider-Man : Part Two (The Webb-Verse Films)
    2026/07/15

    Hello and welcome to this wickedly wall-crawling episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

    Franchise knowers and pattern recognisers rejoice! After reviewing Raimi last week, it's time to weigh some Webb with the Amazing Spider-Man movies. Cards on the table time - Ben doesn't like these movies. Rob does. Can our heroes find some common ground before the pod has been fully cast? Will there be any table left visible underneath all the dramatically flung cards? Just which Spidey villain could Ross Kemp play?

    You know what you have to do to find out!

  • Franchise Fatigue? : Spider-Man : Part One (The Raimi Trilogy)
    2026/07/08

    Hello and welcome to this wonderfully webslinging episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

    In celebration of their 200th episode, Beamin' Ben Browne and "Reliable" Rob Benyer decided to tackle one of Ben's white whale franchises- the spectacular Spider-Man series! (*not to be confused with the animated Spectacular Spider-Man series, which was pretty good too - Ben)

    With a Brand New Day on the horizon, there seemed no better time to snap on the spandex and thwip all the way back to the early 2000s to the film series that changed the game for decades to come.Thanks, as always, to "Laudable" Laurence Owen of Long Cat Media for our theme music.

  • Franchise Fatigue? Alien Versus Predator
    2026/06/22

    Hello and welcome to another Franchise Fatigue episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!


    This week we continue our space exploration into the worlds of the Alien and Predator films, by looking at the epic crossovers of Alien Versus Predator and Alien Versus Predator: Requiem.


    Do the films fit with the wider Alien Predator universe? They have a great tagline (Whoever Wins, Earth Loses), but do the films live up to that potential? Can your hosts find anything positive to say?


    Next time, we will round off the whole of the Aliens and Predator franchises!

  • One Shot! Video Games Part 2
    2026/05/30

    Hello and welcome to another episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! This time your hosts load another coin into the podcast arcade machine as we take another look at video game movies.


    Yes we have done this topic before, but the caveat in this new console generation is that the films in question have to actually be based on video games (the last time we did this, not so much).


    Expect problematic product placement, moaning about Minecraft, and general gabbing about video games.



    Spoilers!


    The films discussed are:


    Uncharted


    Prince of Persia

    2026/03/30

    Hello and welcome this absolute thumbs down episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast. This week we are looking at Project Hail Mary.


    Your hosts are long time fans of Ryan Gosling, and of space films in general, so sit back and enjoy (or spin around to create gravity) as we talk adverts, adaptations, and the live action Moana film.

    Hello and welcome to this fitfully feral episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!

    As their battle with the mighty Predator franchise draws to a close. Ben and Rob need their wits about them. The fight is nearly over, but the pair have a time-hopping trilogy to deal with first.

    Not only that, but this is the last stop before they careen headlong into the AvP miasma and face down the challenge of the final Ultra Mega Bucket List ranking of both the Alien and Predator franchises combined. Will our brave, muscular heroes survive and what will be left of them? (Wrong series Ben, edit this before the episode goes up, you berk)
