This episode, the Popcorn Jabber crew are joined by one of the biggest gaming YouTubers in Adelaide, Jacob, or better known by his YouTuber name - Mr A-Game! He works full-time making family friendly gaming videos on YouTube, garnering over 300,000 subscribers!

Whatever braincells we had left from the end of Birdemic... they're long gone now! At last, the time has come where Daz, Oli & Lilli wrap up their discussion of the 2003 soap drama (or at least that's how it comes across), The Room, and by doing so, concluding Bad Movie May!

In this episode:

• Lilli didn't think she would find a certain line funnier than the one she heard on Birdemic, but she got proved wrong!
• The group speculate whether the director, Tommy Wiseau, is actually an alien...
• We give our ratings for this bomb of a film, the only question is, is it better, worse or just as bad as Birdemic? What do you think?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you thought Birdemic was bad, our next film for Bad Movie May is a film that is so terrible, it has often been dubbed as "the Citizen Kane of bad movies". Get ready, because the Popcorn Jabber crew are set to discuss the 2003 romantic drama Tommy Wiseau film - The Room.

But, as is routine, we first go into What's Poppin where:

• Oli is excited for the upcoming Star Wars animated Darth Maul series in development.
• Lilli discusses her thoughts on the new title change for the Thunderbolts* film - do you know what it's called now?
• Daz is petrified about the possibility that the Star Wars Sequel trilogy may become Gen Alpha's favourite...

We watched this film for free, but it cost us everything...

This week, the Popcorn Jabber crew continue & conclude their dicusssion on the 2010 dumpster fire of a film, Birdemic: Shock and Terror. This comes as part of our series called Bad Movie May, a month dedicated to discussing the most terrible films of all-time.

In this episode:

• We investigate how this film promotes an environmental message... in the worst way possible.
• Daz tries to point out the credit where it's due for this film... which includes a bopping dance routine, and a decent mother actor.
• We give our ratings... the question is, how low will we go?

Also, stay tuned until the end of this episode to find out which movie we will go into next for Bad Movie May!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This month, the Popcorn Jabber crew are beginning a mini-series called Bad Movie May, a whole month dedicated to talking about the films that are widely considered to be the worst of all time. This week, we are starting off with the 2010 film - Birdemic: Shock and Terror. The shock and terror is certainly there, but not in the way the director intended it.

But as usual, the crew begins with What's Poppin, and at the time of recording, it was May the 4th! So of course, we had to make it Star Wars themed!

• Daz talks about how Revenge Of The Sith got re-released in cinemas to celebrate it's 20th anniversary, and how much it earned in the box office just from the re-release!
• Oli discusses his thoughts on the new Star Wars: Grand Collection video game bundle.
• Lilli has some morbid curiosity for the newly announced Star Wars series starring Ryan Gosling.
• And to wrap it up (although it's not Star Wars themed...) Oli reviews the new Thunderbolts* film that has been released!

Raise your Genovian flags, because it's time for Daz, Oli, Lilli and special guest Maz to wrap up their discussion on The Princess Diaries!

In this conclusion:

• The crew notice some scenes which potentially show Mia's character as shallow in her emotions.
• We have a theory about the beach party scene - Were Josh, Lana, and the press all secretly working together to humiliate Mia?
• Lilli poses a question to the group - Was it right for Mia's dad to trade his family for the kingdom?

Get your pizza with M&M's ready, because it's time for the crew to continue their discussion on the chosen film from special guest Maz Maio, for a much loved Disney classic - The Princess Diaries!

In this episode:

• Daz highlights a very important detail missing in this film, and why Mia's father actually isn't dead in the books, but why Disney decided to kill him off in the film version.
• Maz shares her thoughts on why one aspect of this film doesn't age well, particularly with the perception of Mia's pre-Princess look.
• Lilli explains why she doesn't respect Helen's decision to divorce Mia's father, and why (under Helen's circumstances) it completely misses the point of what marriage means.

Also, with this being Popcorn Jabber's 50th episode, even if you haven't watched (or don't care) for The Princess Diaries, please at least listen to the first 2 minutes of this episode, where Daz, Oli & Lilli want to express their gratitude to you for helping them reach such a special milestone.

An episode about The Princess Diaries?! 😮 SHUT UP!

In this special episode, we are so excited to be joined by radio host, events manager, coffee lover & Port Adelaide supporter - Mary-Anne 'Maz' Maio!

She now hosts the drive show "Maz For The Drive Home" weekdays from 3-6pm ACST on Life FM.

Maz's chosen film for Popcorn Jabber is the 2001 family/romance film "The Princess Diaries". A childhood film favourite of hers, based on the book series by Meg Cabot.

We've finally made it, folks! It's the LAST episode and the thrilling conclusion of our discussion on the final movie for Popcorn Jabber 2024, Spider-Man: No Way Home!

In this episode:

• Oli has a real bone to pick with a common Spider-Man issue...
• As we leave our ratings for this film, we ask the question "Is this movie exclusively for spider-man fans, or does it appeal to the non-fans as well? And if it doesn't, does that make the movie weak?"
• As we wrap up the final Spider-Man film, we ask the ultimate question up for debate... Who is the best Spider-Man of the three? Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield or Tom Holland? What do you think?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
