Popcorn for Breakfast

At long last, peace has once again been achieved as Disney and Scarlett Johansson have settled their dispute for a large sum of cash. But when one Hollywood saga ends, another is born. And now, there is a strong possibility that all film and tv production in the U.S. is on the brink of a shutdown. Plus, we’ve got loads of other stories to discuss including Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s historic bo...

Marvel Studios’ What If…? Episode 8 finally delivered what we have been waiting for through the first 7 episodes and, in doing so, set the stage for an epic finale. In this episode of Spilled Popcorn, we will of course discuss all of the implications of the Watcher’s Oath being broken and, since we haven’t done it yet, we’ll deep dive into Uatu the Watcher and what his history in the comics could...

Nic Cage living in the woods with his trusty companion, a truffle pig. Need I say more? This week, we took advantage of a scheduling issue to go back and review a film we’ve been wanting to talk about for a few months: Pig. This film was very buzzy back in June but we didn’t get a chance to review it then. So, it was finally time to see if it lived up to the hype. Take a listen to hear what we tho...

Two weeks is too long (or two long?) to stay away from the movie and tv industry and Kirk and Cam learned this week. While we were away the Emmys happened, Netflix hosted their first ever global fan event (TUDUM), we got some bonkers casting news for a new Super Mario Bros. animated film, and so much more. So, strap in because PFB is back and we have a ton to cover.   Emmys Recap [12:36] Daniel Cr...

The MCU has already brought us Bro Thor and Frog Thor (Throg), but this week’s episode of Marvel Studios’ What If…? brought yet another variation in the form of Party Thor. Join us as we break down what is, without doubt, the most absurd What If scenario yet as well as all the fun easter eggs and implications. Plus, what does that ending mean for episode 8 and beyond? Listen in to hear our thought...

It goes without question that Erik Killmonger is one of the best MCU villains to date. So, when the prompt for this episode of What If…? paired Killmonger with none other than Tony Stark, we were jazzed. Take a listen to hear our full reaction to a very thought-provoking episode of Marvel Studios’ What If…? and hear our thoughts on what implications it could have going forward.   Thanks for listen...

The tagline for the subject of today’s review, Malignant, calls it a “new vision in terror.” And well, let’s just say after viewing this movie, we both agree that may be the understatement of the millennium. James Wan’s vision for this movie makes it a very different entry into the horror genre and, because of that, we decide to do a very different review today. In this episode, we break down all...

This seemingly run-of-the-mill episode of Popcorn for Breakfast chock full of movie and tv news brings the unexpected answers to many important questions including: Would Cam marry Idris Elba on the spot? Where does Bluey rank all-time among TV Series? Will season 2 of Only Murders in the Building have a Martin Short ghost (not a spoiler btw)? And many, many more. So, check below to bounce around...

Episode 5 of Marvel Studios’ What If…? brought us Zombies. And, frankly, that’s sort of all there was to it. Just good ol’ fashioned zombies and a potential setup for the zombie plot line to return and continue somewhere else along the line in the MCU. So, listen in to hear our thoughts on the MCU’s take on Zombies, where this episode ranks among the first five episodes, and what that Thanos appea...

The first new MCU character entrant since Captain Marvel is finally here! After 2 long years, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has finally arrived to launch us into Phase 4 and beyond. In this episode of PFB, we'll review ShangChi and then put on our fanboy hats to discuss what this movie means for the broader MCU.   Thanks for listening!   Please rate, review, and subscribe if you liked...

There was a chill in the air this morning and that can only mean one thing… Film Festival SZN is here! And while we try to avoid as much information as possible before seeing a movie, we do have to share what the latest buzz is before we get our hands on these ones, including Dune, Spencer, Last Night in Soho, Belfast, and others. In this episode, we also discuss the Russo Brothers’ potential retu...

What If…? Episode 4 gave us a look at a MCU character who becomes more and more intriguing with each new chapter: Doctor Strange. In this episode, we learned more about Doctor Strange as a person as well as a sorcerer and found out just how close he was to taking a path toward destruction. In this episode of Spilled Popcorn, we’ll talk about all of the interesting occurrances in this episode of Wh...

Make sure there are no mirrors around when you listen to this episode, trust me. Nearly 30 years after the original, Candyman is back with what can only be described as both a re-imagining and the first direct sequel we’ve gotten to the original Candyman (since the other sequels were lame and not direct-related). Nia DaCosta’s Candyman took #1 at the domestic box office in its opening weekend by a...

Fall is approaching and we are at the extremely hectic crossroads of blockbuster film season and awards season and things are heating up! We’ve got a ton of movie and tv news this week including: DC Fandome details, Chris Evans and ScarJo’s new movie, sequels for Jungle Cruise and Expendables, the successful #SaveManifest campaign, and so much more. Also, the final trailer for No Time To Die is he...

Another episode, another multiversal question answered by Marvel Studios’ What If…? This week’s episode showed us a world in which Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and others are not around to defend the Earth from extraterrestrial threats. So in this week’s episode of Spilled Popcorn, we take a look at all of the details from this episode, how it stacks up against what we’ve seen so far in What If…?, and wh...

“Ready for action Ryder, sir!” This past weekend, the Paw Patrol rolled into theaters and Paramount+ and the PFB guys have lots of thoughts. In fact, if you thought this was going to be a run of the mill review of a kid’s movie, you were dead wrong. Kirk and Cam have watched A LOT of Paw Patrol over the years and may be among the most qualified reviewers on the subjects. So, get ready to go to the...

The trailer is finally here. That statement shouldn’t mean anything on its own but this trailer has been anticipated for so long and was viewed by so many that you immediately know exactly what I am talking about. Of course, it is the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer and we have a full breakdown complete with speculation and thoughts on what’s to come. We also catch you up on the latest from Cinema...

What if…. Spilled Popcorn didn’t return to discuss all the details of Marvel Studios’ What If…? Thankfully, we’ll never know the answer to that question but I think we can all agree that would be the darkest timeline of all. But let’s not spend another moment imagining the horrors of that scenario, because Spilled Popcorn is back and we were more than ready to get the ball rolling with our episode...

Lots of the movies that were delayed by the pandemic are just now starting to get their time to shine. It feels like we’ve been hearing and seeing things about Free Guy for a long time, and that is because we have! So, in this episode, we were excited to finally get to see this film in theaters (as our good Lord intended) and see if it was worth the wait. Take a listen and let us know your thought...

Aloha! Kirk is back from his Hawaiian roller coaster ride and PFB is back with all the latest in movie and tv news. The theme for this week is “quality over quantity” as we do not have a massive volume of stories like usual but all of our topics pack a punch! From big name movie delays to huge casting and movie biz updates, we’ve got you covered with the latest on this week’s edition of What’s Pop...

Lights, Cameron, Action! Kirk is on vacation so, for this week, Cam is flying solo. Because, as you all know by now, the news never stops and that is just as true in the movie and tv industries as it is anywhere else. This week, we discuss casting news for a new Wes Anderson film, potential sequels to ‘Jumanji’ and ‘Chronicle,’ and a strange box office/streaming performance for ‘The Suicide Squad....

If it’s not the most hyped movie of 2021 so far overall, it is definitely the most hyped we have been for a movie so far this year! That movie is, of course, The Suicide Squad, written and directed by James Gunn. There are so many storylines coming into this movie: the infamous Marvel firing/DC hiring, a second attempt at the Suicide Squad franchise, the hard-R rating, I mean, we could go on. But...

It’s no secret that Disney’s track record with ride adaptation films is… inconsistent. But every attempt is a new opportunity to get it right. So the question becomes: is Jungle Cruise doomed to swell in the miss column alongside Disney’s Haunted Mansion movie? Or will it rise to prominence and acclaim like the original Pirates of the Caribbean? Listen to this review and you’ll hear our answer to...

Well, they say, “no news is good news” and, generally, we tend to disagree with that when it comes to movie news. But this week, they might be right. The Disney and Scarlett Johansson saga is getting uglier, the Delta variant is threatening our beloved theaters, and the new Venom trailer left out a release date which is fueling speculation that a delay may be forthcoming. But good news or not, we’...
