This week, the Popcorn Jabber take on their first fan-requested film! They open up their inbox and read out a letter from long-time fan Kate, with their film suggestion - Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit!

Also in this episode:

• Daz, Oli & Lilli have gone a little bit insane due to this being the first time they've decided to record a PCJ at the dawning hour of 6am! Tune in to find out why they made this decision, and how it ended up with one of us not sleeping AT ALL!
• Lilli discusses the success of the recent hit film Project Hail Mary, and reveals it's creative use of practical elements over CGI.
• Daz shares a recent reflection he had on the current state of Hollywood, and how almost everything is a sequel or a remake these days...
• Oli asks the crew the question of whether the use of CGI has cheapened films.

We're going up, up, up! It's our moment! You know this episode will be GOLDEN! Join Daz, Oli & Lilli as they review the biggest Netflix film of 2025 - KPop Demon Hunters!

In this special themed episode:

• The crew taste test the limited edition McDonalds HUNTR/X Meal (which conveniently came out on the same day of recording!)
• Oli reflects on how films that do well in the box office are directly tied to how much Brad Pitt is eating in them!
• Lilli makes the crew take a BuzzFeed quiz to determine which KPop Demon Hunters character they are!

Disclaimer: Because we are a Christian podcast, we understand and acknowledge that some listeners might be apprehensive towards this film because of its themes surrounding demons (after all, the word "demon" is in the title). So if you feel convicted to avoid hearing this film being discussed, no worries! Do as you feel led! But our mission in discussing this film here on PCJ is to identify the parallels in the story that directly tie to Christianity, in which we unanimously agree that there are plenty of! If you can give us a moment of your time and hear us out, we encourage you to not just listen to the whole episode, but to watch the film for yourself and discern whether you think the film has solid ties to scripture!

• Oli reflects on the passing of Chuck Norris, and the impact he's made.
• Lilli discusses the latest release of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer that has garnered 718.6 million views in its first 24 hours, making it the biggest trailer launch in history.

It's time to get'cha head in the game and bop to the top, because in this special episode of Popcorn Jabber, we are joined by special guest Lauren Francis to chat about one of her favourite Disney musical films of all time - High School Musical!

Lauren loves love, and especially loves meet-cutes, which is a charming, humorous, or unusual first encounter between two characters in a story who are destined to fall in love, and for Lauren, High School Musical has one of the best meet-cutes of all between Troy & Gabriella!

In this episode:

• Daz, Oli, Lilli & Lauren all discuss their Top 5 movie soundtrack scores, as well as 2 mainstream songs they enjoy being used in film.
• The crew discuss their likes, dislikes, and fun takes of what they thought of High School Musical. With half of the crew having watched this film in their childhood, and the other half not, how does that impact their opinion of the film?

Lauren is the host of the brand new romance podcast - How'd You Meet, a podcast that shares real love stories from real people, centred on faith, commitment, and building a lasting, God-centred marriage. Check out her podcast here: https://shows.acast.com/the-howd-you-meet-podcast

WHAT?! A random episode from Popcorn Jabber out of nowhere?! What is going on? Are Popcorn Jabber back?

All great questions! The PCJ Crew figured that even though we haven't jabbered about that much this year, it would be wrong if we didn't acknowledge all the films we jabbered about before we went on hiatus! So without further ado, this episode is a 2025 End of Year Recap! (More like a 4 month recap, but anyways!)

In this episode:

• Daz, Oli & Lilli share their Film Of The Year for 2025! What's yours?
• Oli and Lilli go head-to-head in another end of year game! However, this time, the game works a little differently...
• Daz shares his Top 10 Favourite Moments from Popcorn Jabber 2025!

So far, there are no promises that Popcorn Jabber will continue in 2026, but the crew are discussing it! As always, you'll just have to stay tuned!

We hope you all had a safe and blessed Christmas and Happy New Year! God bless from the PCJ Team!

In this episode:

• Oli poses some more fun hypotheticals to the group, such as what weapon you would use to fight for love, and whether you could fight an evil counterpart of yourself.
• Lilli spots some parallels between the relationships between Scott & Knives and Ramona & Gideon.
• The group wonder, "Was Michael Cera the best casting choice for the character of Scott Pilgrim?"

Also, stay tuned for the ending of this episode, as the trio make an important announcement regarding the future of Popcorn Jabber.
