  • One Shot! Films in Which the Villain Was Right
    2025/10/08

    Hello and welcome to a positively diabolical One Shot episode, in which we take the side of the bad guys, and each pick a film, that isn’t connected to a sequel, spin off, or prequel, in which the bad guy is in the right.


    Contains dark green, a few trolley problems, and a brimful of 90s music references.


    You can find us on Instagram or Threads as @popcornbucketpod, and thanks, as always, to Lawrence Owen of Long Cat Media for the theme music.




    The films we look at are:


    Cabin in the Woods

  • One Shot! Untrue True Stories
    2025/09/15

    Hello and welcome to another One Shot episode, in which we take a topic and each choose a film that isn’t connected to a sequel, prequel, or spin off.


    This week, we stand in front of two podcasts, one always tells the truth, and the other always lies, as we look at films ‘based on a true story’.


    So please listen, and please forgive any embellishments and liberties taken.

    2025/08/10

    Hello and welcome to The Popcorn Bucket Podcast!



    This time, we follow up on our recent look at the four Fantastic Four Films, by looking at the most recent iteration, Fantastic Four: First Steps (or FFFS, as all the cool kids are saying, FFS).


    Join your two podcast torch bearers as we marvel at The Things that happen in this movie, make spoilers visible, and fantastically stretch jokes too thinly.

  • One Shot! Heist Movies
    2025/06/26

    Hello and welcome to this absolute steal of an episode as we look at Heist films.



    You know the drill by now, we take the episode topic and each pick one film to talk about, that isn’t connected to a sequel, spin off, or prequel (so no Ocean’s films).



    So if we can nab your attention, listen in as Ben plots another clause, and like all good heist films there is a twist, in Rob doesn’t go for the obvious Nolan related choice.

    Spoilers!







    Our choices are Inside Man 1, and The Town.
