The Podcorn: Everything Film

Sammy & Stella unpack the awkward brilliance of Napoleon Dynamite and dive into Juror #2's twisty courtroom suspense. From deep-fried nostalgia to Eastwood-directed intensity, it's a genre mashup of supreme indie weirdness and a legal drama that somehow doesn't quite live up to expectations. Sammy also gives a rather useful reccy of the New York Times Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century list.See the full list here nytimes.com/interactive/2025/movies/best-movies-21st-century.html#top100newyorktimes #thepodcorn #filmreviews #napoleondynamite #jurornumbe2 Hosted on Acast.

 This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, we dive into two wildly different worlds: the cringe-fueled bromance of Friendship, starring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson, and the spellbinding spectacle of Wicked, where Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo float, belt, and bubble their way through Oz. Stella’s loving the songs (and totally ready to defy gravity), while Sam’s less enchanted by the bleurgh colour palette. Meanwhile, Friendship delivers laughs and discomfort in equal measure, as our hosts unpack what it means to be endearingly desperate in a punk-band friendship gone haywire.🍿🧙‍♀️🧼#thepodcorn #filmreviews #wicked #friendship #paulrudd #arianagrande #defying gravity Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, it’s heroics versus havoc as we take on the brand-new Superman movie and revisit the monster mayhem of Cloverfield. While Clark Kent flexes his muscles (and maybe some questionable storytelling), the creature in Cloverfield stomps its way through nostalgia and shaky cam trauma. Expect superhero side-eyes, kaiju-level critiques, and the usual Podcorn tangents that fly faster than a speeding bullet. 🍿🦸‍♂️👾#SupermanMovie #Cloverfield #PodcornPodcast #FilmReview #MoviePodcast #MonsterMovies #SuperheroCinema #KaijuWatch #ClarkKent #CinematicChaos #SamAndStella #MovieTalk #BlockbusterBreakdown #PopcornAndMayhem #ShakyCamTerror #SuperpoweredPodcorn Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, we salute the brilliance of The Master, anchored by the extraordinary Philip Seymour Hoffman, and then wrestle with our disappointment over the original Superman—turns out not every cape ages like fine wine. Somewhere along the way, we detour through theme tune singalongs, a heated Pulp Fiction tangent, and possibly invent a new superhero called "Tangential Man." Expect praise, sass, cinematic chaos, and maybe a dramatic rendition of the Superman score.and Star Wars, Star Trek...🎬🎤🦸‍♂️ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, we strap into two very different cockpits—Formula 1: The Movie, which left us grinning like over-caffeinated engineers, and Top Gun, which crash-landed somewhere in the cringe zone. While F1 had us on the edge of our seats with real stakes and adrenaline-fueled brilliance, Top Gun felt like it borrowed its script from a jet engine manual. Expect high praise, low blows, and some swooning over Brad Pitt. Spoiler: speed wins, swagger doesn’t. 🏁🎬✈️https://shows.acast.com/the-podcorn-everything-film/about Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, we’re going full outbreak mode with all things 28 Days, 28 Weeks, and the brand-new 28 Years Later. While Stella battles a very non-cinematic cold (boo hoo indeed), she and Sam dissect the evolution of the iconic rage virus saga—from Cillian Murphy's wake-up call to apocalyptic sequels and the newest chapter in humanity’s bad luck with science. Expect a few coughs and some contentious opinions about who would actually survive (Spoiler: probably not Stella this week) and whether Sam would save his own mum in a zombie invasion!!!.🍿🧟‍♀️#PodcornPodcast #MovieReview #JourneyFilms #FilmDiscussion #CinematicJourneys #FilmPodcast #MovieDebate #PopcornAndMovies #imdb #dannyboyle #alexgarland #28yearslater #28days #28weeks Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, we’re pairing the lowest-rated movie on IMDb—Disney’s CGI-dwarfed Snow White reboot—with David Lynch’s Blue Velvet, a film as unsettling as it is iconic. From uncanny valley sidekicks to velvet-draped darkness, we pull apart how two films from opposite ends of the cinematic spectrum ended up equally memorable (for very different reasons). Expect sharp takes, surreal tangents, and the usual Podcorn banter. 🍎🕳️#bluevelvet #davidlynch #disney #snowwhite #PodcornPodcast #MovieReview #JourneyFilms #FilmDiscussion #CinematicJourneys #FilmPodcast #MovieDebate #PopcornAndMovies #imdb Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, we’re diving into The Salt Path and Clown in a Cornfield—one a meditative trek, the other a full-blown horror showdown. Somewhere in between the serenity and the screaming, we touch on what makes a truly great journey film, briefly nodding to classics like Into the Wild, A Real Pain, The Way, and Wild. Expect a mix of thoughtful reflection on Moth and Ray's salty walk and chaotic clown-related confusion. 🍿🎬Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a review!#TheSaltPath #ClownInACornfield #PodcornPodcast #MovieReview #JourneyFilms #FilmDiscussion #CinematicJourneys #HorrorFilms #TomCruiseStunts #IntoTheWild #TheWay #WildMovie #FilmPodcast #MovieDebate #PopcornAndMovies Hosted on Acast.
