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.

Reviving An Ageing Town

Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the director behind Birdman and The Revenant, turns his gaze on climate catastrophe with Digger, and the result is as divisive as his back catalogue. Tom Cruise disappears into the title role as an oil tycoon with the US president's ear, whose relentless exploitation has pushed the world to the edge of ecological collapse — icebergs, tsunamis and all. We talk about why we love Digger, and why this bold, original swing has been tanking at the box office despite some of the best work of Cruise's career.

Avengers: Endgame Encore - Worth the Hype? 

It isn't every day that a beloved video game franchise gets a second film reboot, let alone one directed by someone with Zach Cregger's calibre (Weapons, Barbarian) - so it's no wonder fans are excited. Taking place during events paralleling the 1998 game Resident Evil 2, this new film follows Austin Abrams' Bryan, a medical courier fighting through a viral outbreak of infected monsters while trying to make a delivery.
