  • Popcorn Counter: Going Interstellar....
    Sep 11 2024

    You may think you’ve heard some nerdy podcasts in the past, but we’re going to ask you to buckle up your space suits and accelerate away from the Earth with us into the nerdiest possible sector of the whole galaxy this episode. We’ve seen a few films set in the deepest reaches of space recently - but out of the whole cinematic canon, which film is set FURTHEST from Earth? We’ve done some research, we’ve drawn some charts and we’ve made some calculations, and we think we have an answer. But is the winner a film from Stanley Kubrick, John Carpenter, Ridley Scott, or someone else entirely…?

  • Popcorn Counter: Scary Movies
    Sep 4 2024

    It’s all scary monsters and super creeps at the Popcorn Counter this episode. Join us as we shelter from a storm and count down our 13 favourite scary movies. (Please note, however, that ‘scary’ doesn’t always mean ‘good’.) Including a French film we wish we’d never seen, a Richard Burton film we probably didn’t see, or at least don’t remember very clearly, and a satanic film that should be avoided if you are pregnant… But which film will take the coveted number 13 spot?

  • Alien Romulus vs Alien: Loving the Alien
    Aug 28 2024

    If there’s one thing we know about the xenomorphs in the Alien films, it’s that they’re very, very good at reproducing themselves…

    Join us this episode as we watch the new sci-fi horror picture Alien: Romulus and its 1979 sci-fi horror granddaddy, Alien, and ask ourselves: is it possible we might have watched the same film twice? Romulus may be filled with callbacks and fan service and easter eggs and horror tropes, but is there a thoughtful and effective film hiding beneath them? And although the original Alien is now revered as a classic, have any cracks emerged in its pristine shell in the intervening 45 years? Which film has the more sophisticated take on racism, corporate exploitation and bodily autonomy? And which film features a cameo from Jacob Rees-Mogg?

    Plus we rewatch a Kevin Costner classic that is very different to how we remember it, we get a new sponsorship deal with an AI phone, we take a quick trip to Hungary, we try to think of a polite way to talk about something R rated, and we issue a disclaimer from the TRCC legal team…
