Crushed Popcorn Podcast

With Dune 2 lighting up the box office, Crushed Popcorn returns with guest Tim to discuss the movie, the many failed attempts at bringing a satisfactory version of the epic novel to the big screen, and whether Denis Villeneuve has successfully managed to do justice to the Frank Herbert source material.
It is about to get spicy!

Joined once again by Tim from the Pint Glass Manifesto podcast, host Mark Johnson sets out the teams most recent podcasting mission - to watch as many video game inspired movies and to chart a course through history of the good, the plenty of bad, and the downright awful.
From Super Mario Bros through to Warcraft, from the high of the original Mortal Kombat through to the twin lows of Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead. Why do some movies work? Why does it so often go bad? And are we potentially moving into a golden era now that the people who played these games are now making movies themself.

A totally new and exciting episode from the team at Crushed Popcorn! Stan joins host Mark Johnson to NOT talk about movies...you heard it here first! As the first in what will be a whole new section to the podcast, the team talks about all things streaming, what they are watching, what they hate, and what is moving and shaking the industry at the moment.
Whether it is on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu, BBC IPlayer, Apple TV, or any of the other 1000 services out there, our team will watch it all.
This week sees Mark and Stan discuss Donald Glovers Atlanta, Adam McKay's basketball show Winning Time, the Sci-Fi epic Raised by Wolves, and the first half of the last series of Better Call Saul. Mark, as usual, also complains about a few things...

Your host Mark is joined once again by the host of the Pint Glass Manifesto podcast Tim to discuss a movie that is getting a whole load of buzz - Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Everything Everywhere all at once is directed by the Daniels and stars Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, Jamie Lee Curtis, and James Hong. Does the moving deserve all the hype it has been getting? Does it give a multiverse-size punch in the gut to the new Dr. Strange movie and Marvel? The duo discusses this and more in our latest podcast episode.

Stan Turner joins host, Mark Johnson, to discuss the Oscar-nominated movie Sound of Metal. A movie directed by Darius Mardar and starring Riz Ahmed and Olivia Cooke.
