The Popcorn Boys

In honor of Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" from "Toy Story 5," which will almost surely have her in the thick of the Oscar race, The Boys did a deep dive into the Best Original Song category and ranked all 92 winners dating back to 1934, when "The Gay Divorcee took home the Oscar for "The Continental." A truly exhaustive task that peels back layers of music history, songwriting and, really...

To celebrate the release of "Disclosure Day," the Boys look back at the filmography of Steven Spielberg the only way they know how: by ranking all of his movie titles from worst to best. Along the way, they discuss some of his classics ("Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Raiders of the Lost Ark"), his lesser known movies ("Always") and whatever "Disclosure Day" was. Pop, pop!

"Backrooms" has exploded onto the scene, leaving The Boys with plenty of questions, excitement and concerns about their own respective immortalities. Plus, a deep dive into Shania Twain lore, the Lena Dunham conundrum and a brief eulogy for Dylan Larkin. Pop, pop!

It's the historic 100th episode of The Popcorn Boys and the Boys are, quite fittingly, here to talk about one of the craziest box office phenomenons of all-time.

The Boys discuss the movie itself and what it all means, plus their thoughts on "The Mandalorian and Grogu," "The Devil Wears Prada...

"The Drama," starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, asks the age old question: What would you do if, days before your wedding, you found out your fiancee almost shot up her school?

The highly-anticipated "Project Hail Mary" is here to beg the question: Is Ryan Gosling the best we have? The Boys break down the space blockbuster, its potential chances at the Oscars and whatever was going on with Rocky. Plus, a dive into the controversy surrounding Timothee Chalamet and where his career might go from here. Pop, pop!

With the 98th annual Academy Awards right around the corner, The Boys took a look back at the last 50 movies to be nominated for Best Picture — including this year — and set out to rank them from best to worst.

'Wuthering Heights' has arrived and The Boys are feeling things all over their bodies. To celebrate, they do a deep dive into the career of Margot Robbie - from 'The Wolf of Wall Street' to 'I, Tonya' - and land with a singular point of view: nobody is doing it like her. Pop, pop!

The Boys are back to discuss the movie on everybody's lips....THE RIP! What is a rip? Why do we care about rips? Is Kyle Chandler America's Dad?

Pop, pop!

With Oscar season kicked into high gear, The Boys dissect three wildly different movies - "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery," "Hamnet" and "Train Dreams" - and why each one surprised them for different reasons. Josh O'Connor! Jessie Buckley! Kerry Condon! The rising Jupe dynasty! Pop, pop!

"Wicked: For Good" finally hit theaters and it's...bad? Kinda good? Absolutely insane? Maybe all of the above!

Pop, pop!

The Boys are back to discuss 'Frankenstein,' the lore of Mary Shelley, the power of the theater experience and why 'Die My Love' is proving to be the most divisive movie of the year. Pop, pop!

The Boys are back to discuss Netflix's "A House of Dynamiate," which is ultimately quite weird, "Bugonia," which is expectedly weird and the best (and hottest!) under-40 actors and actresses working today. Pop, pop!

The Boys are back as they discuss 'One Battle After Another,' 'After The Hunt,' the power of Julia Roberts, a Box Office Challenge update and that kid who fell into the gorilla enclosure that one time. Pop, pop!

There's a new Man of Steel in town and, my oh my, are there things to be said.

In the wake of The New York Times' list of the top 100 movies of the 21st century sending the Internet into a tizzy, The Boys reveal their own top 10 lists.

Oh, and a breakd...

From "Cocktail" and "Jerry Maguire" to the "...

The Boys are back to discuss something called "A Minecraft Movie" becoming the biggest phenomenon in the world despite neither of them really knowing what it is.
