    scream 7 and The Dictator

    Episode Description – Popcorn and Beers This week on Popcorn and Beers, the gang dives into a mix of slashers, satire, documentaries, and a few surprises. Our Butter on Top is Scream 7, and honestly… it’s exactly what you think it is. If you know the Scream formula, you already know what you’re getting into—and we break down whether that’s a good thing or a tired one. For the Drunk Classic, we revisited Sacha Baron Cohen’s The Dictator, which ended up feeling strangely timely given today’s political climate. What once felt like outrageous satire now hits a little closer to reality, and we discuss how the film holds up more than a decade later. Josh went creature-feature with a rewatch of Anaconda, proving that sometimes a ridiculous monster movie is exactly what the doctor ordered. He also caught up with the latest Gorillaz release, including the new short film that accompanies their album. Fry came in heavy with the powerful documentary Armed with Only a Camera, but balanced things out by hyping up the short film The Singers. He also continued his long Marvel journey with Eternals, and checked out Falcon and the Winter Soldier along the way. Jordan took on the massive musical epic Les Misérables starring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway… and let’s just say the reactions were a little mixed. We also talk about The Bluff, and Fry brings in a huge recommendation with Night of the Seven Kingdoms, which earns an impressive Popcorn & Three Beers—one of the highest honors we’ve handed out in a while. All that and more on this week’s Popcorn and Beers. Grab a drink, press play, and watch along with us. 🍿🍺

    Butter on top of everything this week.

    Lots of new stuff! Officially, we watched How to make a killing. This week on Popcorn and Beers, the crew dives into two wildly different flavors of chaos, starting with our Butter on Top double feature: How to Make a Killing and Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. One is a sharp-edged descent into consequence and ambition, the other a genre-bending ride packed with existential stakes and survival energy. We break down what worked, what surprised us, and whether either earned a spot among the upper tiers of the Popcorn and Beers rating scale. For our Drunk Classic, Josh brings in one of his all-time comfort watches: Mystery Science Theater 3000: Space Mutiny. A perfect storm of low-budget filmmaking, relentless riffing, and legendary moments (“Big McLargeHuge” forever), the crew revisits why MST3K remains such a timeless comedy institution—and why this episode, in particular, stands out as one of the best. Outside the featured picks, we’ve been busy keeping up with a wide spread of watches. We check in on Housemaid, His and Hers, Marty Supreme, The ‘Burbs, London Calling, and Bring Her Back, each bringing its own mix of tension, tone, and surprises. Josh also continues his chronological journey through the MCU with WandaVision, revisiting one of Marvel’s strangest and most ambitious swings. We close things out by setting up next week’s lineup: the highly anticipated Scream 7 takes the Butter on Top slot, and for the Drunk Classic, we’re heading into unapologetic absurdity with The Dictator. Grab your popcorn, crack a beer, and join us.
