The Popcornhead Podcast

Welcome Kernels and Cornheads to The Popcornhead Podcast!

Each week we will be analysing a different film, past or present, the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. We’ll talk pre-production, filming, our own thoughts, any historical context, and the occasional wormhole, things can get a little weird around here.

So if you enjoy film analysis from an often comical perspective, this is definitely for you!
