| 6/5/26 | ![]() The Sheep Detectives + Onscreen Animals | What happens when you take a flock of sheep raised on a steady diet of Agatha Christie and the like, add the death of their beloved shepherd, lessons about grief and pain, and sprinkle on some gentle humour? The result is Craig Mazin's The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun and Molly Gordon (as people) and a rich voice cast, featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Bryan Cranston and Chris O'Dowd (as sheep). We review the movie, before pivoting in Take Two, to our favourite on-screen animals. Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 43m 37s | ||||||
| 5/29/26 | ![]() Colony & Polong + Horror Baddies | Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho returns with Colony, a zombie thriller in which professor Se-jeong, played by Gianna Jun, is thrust into a nightmare when a rapidly mutating virus is unleashed at a biotech conference, sealing the facility and trapping survivors inside. The film premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and marks Yeon's most thematically ambitious genre work yet. Meanwhile, closer to home, Malaysian director Zulkarnain Azhar steps into horror with Polong. Inspired by the real case of Mona Fandey, the film follows an ambitious journalist who uncovers the dark past of a notorious female shaman only to unleash a dangerous entity the shaman once controlled. Then on Take 2, we discuss your favourite types of horror baddies/antagonists.Image Credit: IMDBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 42m 30s | ||||||
| 5/22/26 | ![]() The Mandalorian and Grogu + Highs and Lows of Star Wars | Star Wars is back on the big screen, with The Mandalorian and Grogu. Building on the Disney+ series, the film brings together, as the title suggests, the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu AKA Baby Yoda, as they go on a Western-inspired space adventure. Things get messy when they go on a mission that involves the infamous Hutts. First, we discuss if the film lives up to the series. Then on Take Two, we explore the highs and lows of the Star Wars franchise.Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 40m 28s | ||||||
| 5/15/26 | ![]() Mortal Kombat II | Helmed by returning director Simon McQuoid, Mortal Kombat II is the sequel to 2021’s initial return to this video game universe. Expect martial arts hijinks and fantasy as the champions of Earthrealm are (surprise) forced to fight one another even as they attempt to resist the rise of a larger villain, Shao Khan. We discuss whether this installment in the franchise is good old-fashioned action fun, or another video game adaptation dud.

| 4/17/26 | ![]() The Pitt S2 + Doctors on Screen | Season 2 of The Pitt takes us back to Dr Robby’s emergency department in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, where the team continues to negotiate high stakes medical emergencies, personal conflicts and hurts, and America’s political tensions. So we discuss whether this season lives up to the highs and strengths of the first, before turning our attention to the many doctors who have graced our screens, from Meredith Grey, to JD and Turk, and House… and more.Image Credits: 1MDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 46m 44s | ||||||
| 4/10/26 | ![]() The Super Mario Galaxy Movie + Shrinking S3 | In this episode, we dive into two very different returns to familiar worlds. First up, it’s a cosmic upgrade for everyone’s favourite plumber in The Super Mario Bros Galaxy Movie – a colourful, high-energy adventure that trades the Mushroom Kingdom for outer space. Then, we shift gears to Season 3 of Shrinking, where the therapy sessions get messier, the relationships more complicated, and the show continues to balance grief and humour in a way that feels both sharp and disarmingly honest. Then on Take 2, we discuss our favourite Harrison Ford performances.Image Credits: 1MDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 45m 37s | ||||||
| 4/3/26 | ![]() The Lord of the Rings Celebration | Throughout the month of March, The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions were released in Malaysia for the first time in conjunction with the franchise’s 25th anniversary. The Lord of the Rings, based on J. R. R. Tolkien's magnum opus novel of the same name, is, of course, one of the most celebrated film franchises of all time. It's one of the rare franchises that is beloved by the nerdiest of fans, smashed the box office, went on to win 11 Oscars, and still remains incredibly relevant in contemporary pop culture. In this episode, we review the extended editions and discuss whether they still hold up after all these years. Later on Take Two, we celebrate our favourite things about the franchise, be it characters, moments, rousing speeches, music, glorious battle sequences and more.Image Credits: 1MDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 43m 34s | ||||||
| 3/27/26 | ![]() Hoppers & Project Hail Mary + Sci-Fi Favourites | In this episode, we’re reviewing two very different movies that play in the same genre. First up, what’s been touted as the funniest Pixar movie ever, Hoppers tells the story of Mabel, an animal lover, whose mind is transferred into a lifelike robotic beaver to communicate with animals and save their habitat from human destruction - but along the way, she kinda sorta starts an uprising. Then, we have Project Hail Mary, adapted from Andy Weir’s novel (of The Martian fame), which tells an unusual story of human-extraterrestrial friendship, between two space travellers, each on their own missions. And then on Take Two, we return to an old favourite: What are the best sci-fi movies and series out there? Image Credits: 1MDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 44m 56s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | ![]() Pop Culture Easter Eggs on the Disney Adventure | With the Disney Adventure recently setting off on its inaugural sailing, we take you on board and explore the little pop culture nuggets that make the cruise unique - expect cameos from Robert Downey Jr., and lots of Disney music.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 26m 18s | ||||||

| 3/6/26 | ![]() Hamnet + Movies/Series That Make Us Cry Pt. 2 | It’s been one of the most talked-about movies in the awards circuit: Hamnet, based on Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel about the death of William Shakespeare’s young son, and the grief that ripples through a family. We discuss whether the film earns its tears, and open up the phone lines and ask: what’s a movie or series that always makes you cry?Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 42m 22s | ||||||
| 2/27/26 | ![]() A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms + Memorable Performances From Child Actors | In this episode, we review the fantasy drama A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on the novellas by George R. R. Martin. Set decades before the events of Game of Thrones, the series follows the wandering hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire Egg as they travel across Westeros, crossing paths with nobles, rivals and rising political tensions in a quieter but no less dangerous realm. Then on Take Two, we discuss the most memorable performances from a child actor on the big screen and small. Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 46m 07s | ||||||
| 2/20/26 | ![]() Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die & Wuthering Heights + Uncomfortable Movies | In this episode, we review two films. First up is the new science fiction-comedy by Gore Verbinski, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. It stars Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson and Michael Pena and follows a man from the future who arrives at a diner and must recruit a ragtag crew to save the world from a rogue AI. We also review the latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, respectively. And then on Take 2, we discuss movies and scenes that make us uncomfortable.Image Credits: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 43m 09s | ||||||
| 2/13/26 | ![]() A Chinese Odyssey + Movies to Watch With Your Family | To commemorate the Chinese New Year, we throwback to a beloved Hong Kong fantasy comedy starring Stephen Chow: A Chinese Odyssey. In this film inspired by Journey to the West, Chow plays a carefree bandit who slowly discovers his true identity as the Monkey King while navigating time travel. Later on Take Two, we discuss the best films to watch with your family during the holiday season.Image credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 45m 22s | ||||||
| 2/6/26 | ![]() Send Help + Survival On Screen | After dipping his toes into the MCU, Sam Raimi is back with the genre that made his name - horror (and corresponding squelchiness). In Send Help, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien go head to head, as a mistreated employee and sexist boss respectively, who get stranded on a desert island together, and need to survive, whether by working together, or turning on one another and emerging victorious. We discuss whether this is a worthy entry into the canon of survival movies, before turning our attention to that genre in Take Two, and asking: What are the best depictions of survival, whether in movies or TV?

| 1/30/26 | ![]() Stuff We Missed: Memori & Sore + Time Travel Movies | In this episode, we take a look at a couple of Southeast Asian films currently available on streaming. First, we review Malaysia’s own Memori, a kinship drama about a father who’s diagnosed with Alzheimer's and his estranged son. After that, we discuss the Indonesian film that’s garnering a lot of attention on social media, Sore: A Wife From the Future, which as the title suggests, is a sci-fi romance. Then on Take Two, we discuss our favourite time travel movies and series.Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 44m 15s | ||||||
| 1/23/26 | ![]() 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple + Zombies on Screen | 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a direct sequel to last year’s installment in the franchise, and sees Alex Garland returning as screenwriter, and Nia DaCosta taking over as director. Filmed back to back with 28 Years Later, it picks up on the story of Ralph Fiennes’ Dr Ian Kelson, and expands on the cult of the Jimmys. We discuss the film (and whether it’s likely to lead to the promised third movie of this trilogy), before then turning our attention to the question of zombies on screen, and who’s done it well/badly.Image Credits: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 43m 31s | ||||||
| 1/16/26 | ![]() The Voice of Hind Rajab + Movies/Series Based On True Stories | This week, we review The Voice of Hind Rajab, which recounts the harrowing true story of a young Palestinian girl trapped in Gaza, capturing the desperate phone call she made to emergency responders as her life hung in the balance.

| 1/9/26 | ![]() Pluribus S1 and Stranger Things S5 + Great Endings | In this double bill episode, we review the newly concluded Season 1 of Apple TV's Pluribus, and discuss whether it has us excited for a second season of this philosophical sci-fi mystery, before turning our attention to the final season of Stranger Things, which sees us bidding goodbye to the denizens of Hawkins, and the Upside Down. Then, we ask the question: What movies and/or shows have really great, satisfying endings?Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 45m 22s | ||||||
| 12/26/25 | ![]() Avatar: No Fire No Ash? | In this special episode of Popcorn Culture, we review the latest in James Cameron’s Na’vi epic, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and discuss whether the visual mastery on screen warrants a visit to the cinema.Image Credit: IMDBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 9m 02s | ||||||
| 12/19/25 | ![]() Wake Up Dead Man + Best of 2025 | We wrap up the year by returning to the simultaneously murderous and cosy setting of Rian Johnson's Knives Out series, with the latest installment, Wake Up Dead Man, which sees Benoit Blanc return to investigate a murder at a small upstate New York church and the close-knit community there. And then since it’s the end of the year, we ask you what were the best series and movies of 2025.Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 45m 26s | ||||||
| 12/12/25 | ![]() Jay Kelly + Dramas: Does Anyone Like Them Anymore? | Noah Baumbach directs Jay Kelly (2025), which stars Adam Sandler and George Clooney, and follows a famed but disillusioned actor and his loyal manager as they travel across Europe, confronting past mistakes and estranged relationships. We discuss whether this star-studded movie lives up to its promise, before turning our attention to the question of whether adult dramas, sans action or bombast, have any room in audiences' hearts anymore.Image Credit: IMDBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 41m 46s | ||||||
| 12/5/25 | ![]() Zootopia 2 + Favourite Animal Characters | In this episode, it's all about the follow-up to 2016's wildly successful Zootopia, which sees the return of earnest bunny cop Judy Hopps and wily con artist fox Nick Wilde, and the continuation of their unlikely partnership as they go undercover to pursue a new and mysterious reptilian resident Gary De'Snake. And since so much of Zootopia's delights rest in its animal-centred world and setting, we then extend the discussion to ask: What (or who) are your favourite on-screen animal characters?Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 42m 20s | ||||||
| 11/28/25 | ![]() Pluribus + Fun Movies/Shows To Talk About | In this episode of our podcast, we dive into the first four episodes of Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus, the much-hyped Apple TV+ sci-fi thriller that marks a major return for the Breaking Bad creator. With a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes and buzz everywhere, the show follows Carol Sturka (played by Rhea Seehorn), one of the few immune to a mysterious contagion that has transformed humanity into a shared, euphoric hive mind. We explore whether Pluribus lives up to its break-out promise, and ask you what are some movies or shows that really invite conversation and discussion (whether it's out of love or hate).Image Credit: IMDbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 43m 47s | ||||||
