Popcorn for Breakfast

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’...

Our longest episode in a long time is filled to the top. In fact, it’s so long you should probably just check below for the timestamps to see what all it includes.

As has become increasingly common these days, another fan concept has been brought to life in film form as, at long last, Lebron James has picked up the mantle of Space Jam for Space Jam: A New Legacy. This new spin on the 90s classic vaults the franchise into the 21st century with loads of pop culture references, updated visuals, and more. Kirk and Cam have tons of thoughts on this movie and let’...

On this week’s edition of What’s Poppin’, Cam and Kirk address an eclectic set of news stories from franchises all over the movie and tv universe. From Star Trek to The Batman, from Big Little Lies to a possible sale of A24 and that’s not even the half of it. Plus, a follow up on how far Cam’s parents actually made it into Midsommar before bailing.   Marvel finds Blade Director [14:03] Loki Season...

The Loki Season 1 Finale has come and gone. Hard to believe! And we somehow know both more and less than we did when we first started, but that is sort of a perfect microcosm of this show. In our Loki Season Finale Recap/Loki Episode 6 Recap, we work on answering the many big questions that this episode and season left us with: Did we just meet the next big bad? What will become of Sylvie? Where d...

THE MCU HAS RETURNED TO THEATERS! We get pretty dramatic about a lot of things on this podcast, but this is something worth being dramatic about. And, because this is such a huge deal, we have a completely Marvel-centric episode planned for you. First will kick things off with the movie of the hour, Black Widow. We saw it opening night on the biggest screen we could find, and we’ve got a full revi...

Before we jump into this week’s big movie review, we have lots of big news to catch up on. In this episode, we kick things off with the 73rd Emmy Nominations complete with our reactions to all of the big categories. After that, we talk about Matt Damon’s $100+ Millon mistake, Misha Green’s next step following the Lovecraft Country cancellation at Netflix, Black Widow’s box office success, and a co...

We feel pretty safe in saying that Loki Episode 5 was the best episode of the series. We got tons of Loki variant mischief, a giant cloud monster named Alioth, an ominous castle, and, most importantly of all, a healthy portion of Alligator Loki. In this Loki Episode 5 Recap we discuss all of those things as well as what we think is to come and how they could wrap up this series. Listen in, and swi...

Something about the Fourth of July and Alien War movies just makes sense. It shouldn’t. But it does. And if there is one thing we know about Alien Movies, it is that they never make sense. So, keeping with the theme, we’ve cooked up a truly ridiculous episode for you. Kirk kicks it off with a new surprise game called “The Chris War.” After that, we jump straight into our The Tomorrow War review. F...

The Fourth of July has come and gone which means we are about halfway through Blockbuster Movie SZN. But, as they say, the news never stops! This week, we’ve got rumors of a new Spider-Man Romance (or as we like to call it: a Spider-Mance), Quentin Tarantino’s thoughts on a 10th film, a new Fast & Furious Spin-Off, and so much more.   A New Spider-Mance? [6:10] Quentin Tarantino’s 10th Film [12:26...

Loki Episode 4 was chock full of juicy revelations about the TVA, Sylvie, Ravonna, the Time Keepers, Mobius and more and we have a full breakdown for you. In this episode of Spilled Popcorn, we’ll talk about the big Time Keepers reveal, Sylvie’s original Nexus Event, the return of Lady Sif, and that bonkers mid-credits scene plus we’ll set the stage for Loki Episode 5 and beyond. We are two episod...

Fs are WILD today because it is Friday and we are review the last Fast & Furious movie. That’s right we’ve got an F9: The Fast Saga review teed up for you this Friday. Also in this episode, we take a stroll down Fast & Furious memory lane with a new game call “The Cast of the Furious.” This is a fun one so be sure to give it a listen and hit us up with your thoughts of F9: The Fast Saga, which is...

It is somehow our 100th episode. And since we only just realized it, we have nothing prepared to celebrate the occasion (that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone). But, like true professionals, we did come prepared to discuss all of the latest in film and tv news including Tobey Maguire’s unretirement, Harrison Ford’s injury on the set of Indiana Jones 5, a new Tower of Terror Movie, and much,...
