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. 

Your host Mark is joined by Marie Wong, Pixar fan, cat lover, and stand-up comedian. In this episode, they sit down to watch the latest movie from Pixar - Turning Red. Directed by Domee Shi, who also directed the excellent short Bao, and staring Rosalie Chiang and Sandra Oh. Since its release, the movie has managed to turn heads and is held up as the latest dividing line in the ever-growing culture wars. So does it go too far when speaking about puberty? Does it go far enough? Is this a new dawn for the animated studio? Or could it be just a movie at the end of the day? We answer all this and more...

Join usual suspects Mark and Stan, alongside special guest Tim from the Pint Glass Manifesto podcast, as they discuss and debate the latest DC movie, The Batman. Directed by Matt Reeves of War and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, starring Robert Pattinson as Batman and Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman. Can the movie make Batman relevant again for a new generation? Is it possible to best the Christopher Nolan trilogy? Is Pattinson a believable Batman? The team discusses this and much more in the latest episode of the Crushed Popcorn podcast. 

In this episode of Crushed Popcorn, Mark and Stan discuss the Top 100 movies of all time as voted for by the readers of Empire online - a British movie website. Taking ten movies at a time they discuss, debate, argue, and sometimes agree on which movies should be placed where. Want to know which favourite movie of Mark's doesn't make the list? How does Stan feel about the number of Marvel movies on the list? Or just their feelings on the controversial choice for number one? Then sit back and enjoy. 

This week's episode of Crushed Popcorn finally wraps up our Quentin Tarantino retrospective with a look at his 2010 output and beyond. Your usual hosts, Mark and Stan, discuss their thoughts on Django Unchained, Hateful Eight, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. They also discuss which decade represents Tarantino's best work and whether on rewatching the movies, have their opinions on what his best are changed. 

In this episode, our hosts Mark and Stan go way off-script to discuss everything from Fast and Furious 72 right through to a long-winded rant about Kevin Smith. 

Join Mark and Stan as they discuss the early 2000s Quentin Tarantino movie output - Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds. They compare the two movies and argue about whether his 90s filmography is better. Stayed tuned until the end (post technical issues) for a pretty random rant about the state of Kevin Smith movies.

Join Mark Johnson as he gives his quick hot takes on the latest movie releases. This week he discussed the Oscar-winning movie Another Round, action movie Nobody, Netflix release I Care A Lot, and finally, he looks at the recent cinema release of A Quiet Place Part II - directed by John Krasinski.
