Popcorn Moms is the movie club for millennial moms who love film — and need an easy way to recharge.For Steph and Netta, movies aren’t just escapism. They’re connection. In each episode, these two moms go beyond “Did we like it?” to unpack how a film worked (or didn’t), what it was trying to say, and the moments that truly landed.Expect smart, funny, and heartfelt conversation — plus the tangents you’d have with your movie-obsessed friend: classic tropes, music in film, what makes relationships feel real on screen, AI in film, and much more. On this movie review podcast and film analysis show, we’ll press play on anything — as long as we actually want to watch it. From '90s dramas to new-release thrillers, action and rom-coms old and new, to offbeat genre mashups. It’s thoughtful movie criticism without the snobbery.
