Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, it follows two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap a powerful pharmaceutical CEO, convinced she is secretly an alien plotting to destroy Earth - and things only get stranger from there. We talk about how zany the film gets, then on Take 2, we ask you: What's the craziest movie you've ever watched?

Talking apes and Jedi Knights are cool, but how do they impact Hollywood as a whole? That's the kind of stuff we talk about on Popcorn Culture - a mixed-bag-exploration of the movies, TV shows, and pop culture buzz that we love, as well as the ones we love (slightly) less.

We review Michael, the biopic on Michael Jackson, starring his nephew Jaafar Jackson in the lead role. Then, we discuss the acclaimed comedy drama series, Beef, which is back with another season and a whole new cast of characters. This time, it follows two couples (Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as one pair, alongside Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny) divided by generation, wealth, power and crumbling marriages. Then, on Take Two we ask you: What’s a movie or show where the vibe (like the music, wardrobe, or overall mood) really made the experience for you?

The Pitt S2 + Doctors on Screen 

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.
