Pupcorn And A Movie

Let’s all just make my nephew an egg, shall we? As if we didn’t inject enough electricity into our veins in Part I, we’re back (and about the same as ever) with Part II of our Lightning Round! The second part of a three-parter, the sequel is bigger and wider than the original with more explosions, less explosions, and a longer running time. We’re in the meat and potatoes, here, serving up steaming plates of Godfather I, II, and III with a helping of Little Women, Uncut Gems, Parasite, and...

Will we be the Wicker Men (or women)? Will we be the Rocket Man? Let's put 5,320 seconds on the clock! The first part of a three-parter, you just know Part III will feature go-karts, we've got a deluge of movies to discuss. We'll give 'em our three-word review and try to stop this bullet train of movie-watchin' and take a look around. Travel back in time to the BCs and marvel over Monty Python's and Mel Brooks' take on the Bible (at least when it's set)! Eddie Murphy is back and we're a...

Vacation? Is it ALL we ever wanted? We’ve been on hiatus for almost six months and we’re back with some new (actually old) episodes! Way back in November, we took a big family vacation down to smoggy Orlando and lived it up at Universal Studios and the wonderful world of Disney Controls the Universe. There were spills, chills, thrills, mills (for some reason), bills (very expensive ducks), and murder (aka kills). We learned a lot about movies and how to experience them in one blinding,...

Unlucky number 13!? We can't believe we've come this far and we've squandered an opportunity to review a scary movie! But we've got an Italian character study that's so good it's scary. Transitive properties! This week we talk about Dogman (2018) and dissect the relationship between pups and the humans who act like them. Will our dogs be barking in the background? Almost certainly! And you can quote us on that! Speaking of memorable quotes, we cannot think of quotable lines from movies made...

Hello! (hello…hello…hello!) It seems rather lonely in here, like we’ve been away for too long and the apocalypse happened without us. Or, more specifically, the 1990s happened. We’re back from a brief five month sabbatical (minus one cat and two spleens) to change formats once again! We’re expanding our repertoire and tackling movies of all genres, weaving our way seamlessly, like Paul Harvey, between new and old. Don’t fret, casual listener! Horror is still on the menu (in the form of a...

Pupcorn And A Movie - Episode 11 - THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) There's a killer on the loose and he's making his victims help him move his furniture! Are you about a size 14? No? How about a s-medium? We don't have time for anagrams or Will Smith's constant "woos," we've got to track down some creepy butterflies, FBI-branded sweatshirts, and pay our monthly storage locker fee (gotta keep those severed heads a-floatin'). Our formats keep changing! Betamax or VHS? The cosmic ballet goes...

Pupcorn And A Movie - Episode 08 - THE SHINING (1980) Have we got a great opportunity for you!

The whole killing your family thing, that's non-negotiable, but we'll correct that matter later. Something's up with Jack, and it's definitely not the thin air, cannibals, or Native American burial ground. Dislocated shoulders! Fake Moon...
