Popcorn for Dinner

In the first of a new series on Popcorn for Dinner, Bankole & Ebuka got together somewhere between the third dream layer and the Library of Love to appreciate the varied and beloved works of visionary filmmaker, Christopher Nolan.Ahead of the highly anticipated release of 'The Odyssey', they discussed their favourite Christopher Nolan films and tried to decide which is his best film.(5:45) - Our Histories with Christopher Nolan(12:30) - Ebuka's Favourite Nolan(40:26) - Bankole's Favourite Nolan(57:30) - The Most Underrated Nolan Films(1:00:45) - Christopher Nolan's Best FilmYou can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHosts: Bankole Imoukhuede & Ebuka Nnamani Production by: Bankole Imoukhuede

So this is how the other side lives.Ebube, Afam and Soonen make their way to Tumbleton, keeping their hands to themselves of course, but not without strengthening their squadron with Gab making her Popcorn for Dinner debut — tensions are high after all.They start by exploring the significance of Tumbleton itself (2:07) and go on to dissect everything from Rhaenyra's ever accumulating headaches (30:36) and Daemon's discovery (39:52), to Orwylle and Mysaria's perspectives (13:40) and why Ulf should have a very short leash (52:36). They of course also dive deep into Ormund's influence on Daeron (1:06:27) and the true ramifications of the Hightowers' plans, before firing up the trusty AdaptometerHas this been the greatest four-episode run in 'House of the Dragon' yet?!You can support us hereAlso Available on YouTube hereHost: Ebube UbochiGuests: Afam, Soonen and Miscellaneous GabProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Ready for Christopher Nolan's epic take on an epic? So are we.Bankole calls Ebube and Pricilla out of their farm in Ithaca for a forensic look at the ruins of Troy before mapping out the perilous journey they're about to take with Matt Damon. Some are even calling it… an odyssey! They discuss all you need to know about the events before 'The Odyssey', why Christopher Nolan might have been drawn to the project, the excellent material in store for some excellent actors and much more.

"I do not dream of labour" — Rhaenyra TargaryenThe princess has finally become the queen, and the guys are having a field day with the beautifully written — beautifully directed too — chaos. Ebube sets up a new Black council with Afam and Soonen for Rhaenyra, but not without first flying in Pete Peppers for some wisdom on governance.The team can't help but sink their teeth into Ormund's clever gambit and all its potential repercussions, before getting into everything from Rhaenyra's goals to her stress, as well as the voices pulling her in different directions. They also talk about Corlys' gripes and Rhaenyra's desperate needs for a new queensguard, the full list of people she needs to keep happy in order to rule, and the role her relationship with Alicent plays in all the current drama.Remember, sis; you prayed for this job.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube UbochiGuests: Afam, Soonen and Pete PeppersProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

A talking raccoon and a sentient tree?! When Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' hit theatres in 2014, it faced doubts from all angles, from Kree and Xandarians alike. However, James Gunn's injection of humour, colour and the right amount of irreverence quickly made the film an instant fan-favourite. 12 years later, it's made it to Number 7 on our MCU 12 list. Some are saying that's really the most important part of its legacy.

They've gone and done it now, haven't they? They pissed off the Dragon Queen. And for that, heads WILL roll.For the second episode of 'House of the Dragon' Season 3, Ebube, Afam and Soonen dissect the aftermath of the Battle of the Gullet, note the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between Aemond and Daemon, and rave about Emma D'Arcy's incredible acting.They talk about the incredible loses incurred by Corlys, Alicent's brazen plans, Mysaria's place in Rhaenyra and Daemon's marriage, and the fact that Alys will definitely have a bigger role to play in what's to come. They also briefly comment on Ironrod's idiocy and try to decide whether such scenes are truly necessary in modern fiction.Now bring Aegon — THE USURPER — to us.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

HBO's 'House of the Dragon' is FINALLY back for its third season! But at what cost?Ebube summons Afam and Soonen for a deep dive into a truly pyrrhic victory, dealt at the most pivotal naval battle the realm has ever known, and brace for the inevitable as they evaluate the legacy of Jacaerys Velaryon, as well as take stock of the confusion across the entire board.They discuss the audacity of Alicent's offer and the problems she faces now that her rug's been pulled (6:55), including her relationship with Aemond (12:10) and the schemes of the Hightowers as a whole (44:49).

The TLDR here is simple: 'BEEF' Is the Best Show on Netflix right now.But hop in anyway because Ebube's summoned AJ and Soonen for a union that's decidedly NOT fueled by road rage or deteriorating romance. The trio get into everything from who's actually in the right this season, to what the show has to say about the systems that feed the human conditionThey talk about how this season is as much about class warfare as individual conflicts (4:27), in line with what this season of the show is truly about (6:31); as well as the richness of the performances (9:49), Josh and Lindsay's delusion (19:49), how power changes people (23:35) and why it's important for young men to have solid role models (30:02).Art does mirror life after all.You can support us here.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube UbochiGuests: AJ & SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Welp. Here we are. The show with the endlessly cynical take on superheroes has finally come to a close, and Ebube and Oseghale have thoughts. Let's make one thing clear, everyone got what they deserved. Well... Almost everyone. The guys try to make sense of the show's final chapter and address the internet's thoughts on what will go down as one of the most divisive series finales in pop culture.As they figure out if the show truly stuck its landing, they get into the potential hubris of cinematic universes (8:23); Antony Starr's career-defining performance (18:26); Butcher's alternate future (32:02); the current media literacy crisis (42:06), and of course narrative responsibility and the GenV-shaped hole in the plot.The end was entertaining, but undeniably diabolical.You can support us here.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube UbochiGuest: OseghaleProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

A few hours from the biggest payday of your career, you're sitting on the floor, cigarette in hand and drenched in the stench of a London night out. You can't remember when you last felt this good, but surprisingly, you're staying in the moment. You've earned this night, you deserve this night. This is your victory lap. As your best - and maybe only- friend rests on your shoulders, you think about what you've both been through. You make a silent PROMISE to her: "If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger, you know in the end, I'll always be there".  William returns to chat with the guys about an 'Industry' episode of escapes (and attempts). After poring over that opening scene, they discuss Whitney's unsettling, otherworldly nature, a very stressful 24 hours in New York, Yasmin's escape plans and of course, the club night everyone's talking about.

R.I.P to a real one.After delivering what possibly amounts to the most disgruntled eulogy of all time, Ebube summons Afam and Soonen through gritted teeth to talk about the loss that’s currently hurting him the most, courtesy of this episode — he can’t decide whether to love or hate Ira Parker, but stay tuned.They get into the tragedy of how the events unfolded and how it’s partly a commentary on class warfare, before breaking down the story beats within the fight and the flashback, as well as the fascinating lore surrounding it. They discuss what's been lost, the significance of the episode's title, what the flashback really shows us about Dunk, and the fact that no good deep goes unpunished in the world of Game of Thrones.We’ll all need some time to recover.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

"How good a knight are you?"... Guess we'll find out.Ebube brings Bankole in to join the the guys for an incredibly fun roundtable and a lesson in the laws of gods and men, but frankly the real question here is how cooked Dunk truly is.Once Bankole recaps his own perspective on the show with a carefully curated list of "jokes", the guys deliberate on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to Baelor being the greatest Targaryen ever put to screen, Aerion being the kind of demon that's actually worth fearing, and Maekar living out all the stresses of fatherhood all at once.They also touch on the newest Targaryens revealed to us, discussing what Daeron brings to the table and what might be next for the baldest prince in history, all while trying to figure out what could possibly go right in a Trial of Seven.What even is that??!!!!You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Bankole Imoukhuede, Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
