Do you love fan theories? We do. We love them so much that we called up the creators of your favorite movies to get the inside-story, and confirm or deny the greatest fan theories out there! Our guests include legendary writers and directors like Jack Epps Jr (TOP GUN, TURNER AND HOOCH), Mark Pellington (THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, ARLINGTON ROAD), Joseph Kosinski (TOP GUN: MAVERICK, OBLIVION, TRON: LEGACY), Michael Miner (ROBOCOP), Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN), Hans Bauer (ANACONDA, TITAN A.E.), Jim Fall (THE LIZZIE MCGUIRE MOVIE) and more. We take deep-dive looks at these films, examine fan theories, explore alternate readings, collect facts and trivia, interview the writers and directors, and finally we present our podcast to you! So have a listen and find out once and for all what the movies you love were really about!
Join Hollywood writer Leif Eric and cybersecurity professional Torvald, as we present the most spectacular fan-theories Hollywood has to offer. TV, films, video games, even conspiracy theories! We'll take the stories you think you know, and turn them on their heads!

DR STRANGE AND THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS: This didn't happen
What if Dr. Strange didn't actually travel through the multiverse at all? What if there were no incursions, no Illuminati, no superheroes dead at the hands of Wanda Maximoff? It was all a horrible dream, a nightmare of madness and desperation, carefully crafted and placed into the head of Dr. Strange by none other than The Scarlet Witch herself. All for the sake of vengeance against the man who took everything from her. So dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with us, as we take on Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness!

TREMORS and FOOTLOOSE with writer S.S. Wilson: They woke the worms with their dancing!
We need to talk about a small town named Bomont where music is outlawed, and dancing is forbidden. Why, you might ask, would any city make dancing an arrestable offense? Maybe because if they dance, the vibrations will awaken the beasts underground, and gigantic sandworms will burst out and eat everyone! We're absolutely delighted to be joined by S.S. Wilson (creator of Tremors, father of all Graboids) who will help us expose the hidden connection between Footloose and Tremors!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL: They conned Ebenezer Scrooge out of his fortune
Merry Christmas, one and all! Have you ever actually read the most classic Christmas novel of all time, A Christmas Carol? There's more to it than meets the eye.

PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES: The Hughes Cut
It's finally happened. The long-believed to be lost 'Hughes Cut' of Planes, Trains and Automobiles has been recovered! Or rather, the pieces of the original cut have been recovered and released. Now, we already covered this movie a year ago, but we like to leave no stone unturned. So we have returned, recompiled The Hughes Cut, and combed through the added hour plus of footage for groundbreaking new evidence on the 'Del was a Devil' Theory! So sit down with some turkey, have a Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy our return to an all-time favorite road comedy.

PANDORUM with director/writer Christian Alvart: They never made it to Tanis
Today we have the pleasure of talking to Christian Alvart, co-writer and director of 2009 sci-fi horror Pandorum! Let's see if we can prove to him that his existential horror about the vastness of space and the cliff separating us between sanity and oblivion was actually much darker than even he intended! Did everyone die in the end due to the main character Bower succumbing to the mental sickness of Pandorum, and ejecting the entire crew into the void?

Customer Reviews
Take the Popcorn
The Popcorn Isn’t Real has all the basics down for a solid film podcast: passion for movies, entertaining conversation, insightfulness, etc. However, the premise of focusing on fan theories including the more insane ones is what really sets this show apart. It’s simple yet so creative that I’m sort of jealous I didn’t think of it. As brothers, the hosts have a great rapport, and the show in general is easy to listen to. Subscribe now!
Impress your movie buff friends
Love this podcast for giving me a peek into so many movies I had heard about but didn't really know well. I feel like I at least have a little background to talk about some of the movies I may not have seen with my friends, and it's added a few great movies to my must-see list! Highly recommend for entertainment lovers.
So good!
Just found this podcast! So glad I did! If you like films and fan theories this podcast for you! Check it out!
