Hello and welcome to another episode of The Popcorn Bucket Podcast.
Pop quiz, hot shot! For this Franchise Fatigue? episode, we try to maintain a constant breakneck pace as we look at 1994’s much loved Speed, and it’s even more beloved sequel.
As well as two(ish) absolute classics of the genre, we talk about fringes, wordart, and places to stay on Airbnb. Plus Rob surprises Ben, and there is the return of head related kiss off lines.
So strap in, don’t drop below 50, and make sure you pay attention to cruise ship golf!

But is our opinion Split on what his best film is? Is Ben’s usual amount of Filth actually Wanted this week? As mentioned, we have looked at a few of James McAvoy’s films before, so you could call It Chapter Two of our coverage.

But do we find it Thorsome or Thorful? Is Rob angling to be an assistant to Michael Giacchino? Can Ben remember far enough back to talk about the movie? All this and more, plus an appearance from everyone’s favourite pod-dog.

Hello and welcome to The Popcorn Bucket Podcast! Through a weird quirk of fate / paying attention to our back catalogue, this week is our 60th episode! Which tied in nicely with Tom Cruise’s 60th birthday (on the day we recorded). Only one of these do we make reference to this episode.
This week we return to the named films of Mission: Impossible. There’s a little flashback to a New Year’s Eve of years past, and a bit of singing (sort of). Masks are counted, delivery mechamissions are noted, and biceps are reloaded.
As a disclaimer, we had some issues with the sound this week, so apologies for the poor quality. We hope you choose to accept this episode!
