Popcorn and Beers – Episode Notes Opening Welcome back to Popcorn and Beers, the show where we watch movies so you don’t have to… but honestly, you probably should. Butter on Top Toy Story 5 The gang dives into the latest installment of Pixar’s flagship franchise. Was there still enough gas in the tank for another adventure with Woody, Buzz, and the crew, or is this one arriving a little too late? Drunk Classic The Terminal (2004) This week’s Drunk Classic takes us back to Steven Spielberg’s charming airport dramedy starring Tom Hanks. The hosts discuss whether the movie still works over twenty years later and inevitably fall into a conversation about favorite Tom Hanks performances. Tom Hanks Detour A side discussion featuring: Forrest Gump Cast Away Apollo 13 Saving Private Ryan Big A League of Their Own Road to Perdition Which Tom Hanks movie belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Hanks performances? ⸻ Jordan’s Watch List Toy Story 3 Jordan finally caught up with the emotional gut-punch that made grown adults cry over animated toys. Toy Story 4 Did the fourth installment justify its existence? Jordan weighs in after finally seeing both sequels back-to-back. Masters of the Universe Jordan revisits Eternia and finds a movie that’s more enjoyable than its reputation suggests. Not a masterpiece, but a surprisingly fun relic of the 1980s. ⸻ Frye’s Watch List The Hobbit Trilogy Marathon Frye watched: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies All on a plane. Like a true sicko. The hosts discuss whether this is the optimal viewing experience for Peter Jackson’s bloated fantasy epic or a violation of international aviation law. Return to Silent Hill A disappointing trip back to one of gaming’s most beloved horror franchises. Frye explains why the film completely misses what makes Silent Hill work. Over Your Dead Body A stylish and strange Japanese horror film that blends stage performance, obsession, and supernatural terror. Spider NOIR Thrash Maternal Instinct The wild card of the week. The hosts attempt to explain what they watched and ultimately conclude that listeners may simply need to look this one up themselves. ⸻ Popcorn and Beers Awards Biggest Surprise Plane Ride Endurance Award Frye, for surviving all three Hobbit films at cruising altitude. ⸻ Next Week Drunk Classic Can’t Hardly Wait (1998) The late-90s teen comedy classic takes center stage next week. The hosts revisit graduation parties, teen movie clichés, and one of the most recognizable ensemble casts of its era. Watch Along Recommendation Watch Can’t Hardly Wait before next week’s episode and see if it still holds up.
