Poppin' Cinema with JoeMama & Friends

Send us Fan Mail Every year there's movies that we're anticipated to see and let down by, and others we don't have high expectations of and are blown away by them. Mario and I share our five biggest surprises and five biggest disappointments in cinema in 2025.

Send us Fan Mail January will be all about the movies I saw in 2025, and this first week myself and Tyler share our ten favorite and ten least favorite films we saw in 2025.  The opening section will be spoiler free, with a spoiler section starting around the one hour mark.

Send us Fan Mail A cautionary tale to never take someone for face value, the critically acclaimed film "Creep" centers on a man helping another record a film for his upcoming child's birth - but that's just the beginning of his lies. Is Tyler as unnerved by it as the critics and audiences?

Send us Fan Mail A few months ago I popped Max's cinema cherry with "K-Pop Demon Hunters" and now I do the same to Tyler. Is the movie "Golden" to him? 

Send us Fan Mail What happens when three hoodlums decide to break into the wrong house? "Don't Breathe" is a tense psychological thriller that turns the home invasion subgenre on its head. Did Tyler think it was as good as the critics and audiences thought? 

Send us Fan Mail We all know the story, but we've never seen it told this way before. Find out if Tyler appreciates this Guillermo del Toro directed version of the classic Mary Shelley story!

Send us Fan Mail For the third week of thankful November movies I saw with Max in 2025, we talk about the small independent film that took cinemas by storm. "Good Boy" - a movie about a dog who sees spirits that his master doesn't - is easily one of the most heartbreaking horror movies of the year. What were our thoughts about it?

Send us Fan Mail We continue our thankful November with the acclaimed 2025 movie "Sinners," which I introduce my friend Max to. Does he agree that it's a modern day masterpiece?

Send us Fan Mail For November each episode will be on a movie I'm thankful I watched this year with my buddy Max, starting with the terrifying, unforgettable film "Bring Her Back."

Send us Fan Mail What's so "odd" about "Oddity?" That's what Tyler wonders when I introduce him to the fantastic Shudder original movie with the creepiest wooden figure you'll ever see.

Send us Fan Mail Not "not the bees" - the good one. Listen as I introduce Tyler to the iconic 1973 folk horror movie "The Wicker Man" with the amazing Christopher Lee, and hear if Tyler agrees with how amazing the movie is!

Send us Fan Mail With everything happening this week, I feel we all need to be reminded of love, kindness, and marmalade. That's why I introduced Tyler to the 2015 beloved film "Paddington!"
