Emmy-winning actor Shawn Hatosy (The Pitt, Animal Kingdom) is on Popcorn Podcast to dig into one of his most compelling villains: Titus Danforth in the highly anticipated horror-comedy sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. Hatosy plays the volatile twin brother of Sarah Michelle Gellar's calculating Ursula Danforth, a man whose entire identity has been forged, and controlled, by his family. Ahead of the film's SXSW Film and TV Festival premiere, Hatosy opened up about finding the core of a character he calls "a monster his family built", the upsides and nasty resets of practical effects and what it's like going toe-to-toe with stunt fight queen – and Buffy herself – Sarah Michelle Gellar.Beware, this episode contains mild spoilers for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.More Popcorn: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett talk rebooting Scream and The MummyThe salty Popcorn Podcast take on horror Ready or NotKnow someone who loves movies?

Let's talk The Bride! Part horror, part gangster picture, part Hollywood musical, part feminist manifesto... and not what anyone expected. Maggie Gyllenhaal's wildly ambitious follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut, The Lost Daughter, stars Jessie Buckley as The Bride, Christian Bale as a vulnerable Frank, Annette Bening as the eccentric scientist who revives them, and Penélope Cruz and Peter Sarsgaard as the detectives closing in. We're discussing what Gyllenhaal gets gloriously right, where the film's ambition outpaces its execution, whether Buckley's extraordinary performance could earn her another Oscar nomination, and why – even with a divisive critical reception – The Bride! might still be the most interesting cinema release of 2026 so far.More Popcorn: Join us for a journey through the immersive and transformative HamnetIs Wuthering Heights romance or red flag central?Blue Moon delights and challengesKnow someone who loves movies?

Baz Luhrmann returns to Popcorn Podcast to take us behind the scenes of his "cinematic poem", EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. The Oscar-nominated director, who recently brought Presley back to the big screen with ELVIS (2022), returns with something even more intimate and unexpectedly personal. EPiC isn’t just a documentary.

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights has arrived, and it’s already one of the most divisive films of the year. Popcorn Podcast is fresh from the Australian premiere to unpack why this bold reinterpretation swaps Emily Brontë’s chaste obsession for something far more erotic, stylised and confrontational. From Margot Robbie’s magnetic Catherine to Jacob Elordi’s intense Heathcliff, the film’s love it or hate it energy, and the jaw-dropping cinematography, lavish production design and fashion-forward costumes — plus the haunting soundtrack featuring original music from Charli XCX – is this tragic romance… or red flag central?

We welcome Dacre Montgomery back to Popcorn Podcast to discuss his profoundly timely film, Dead Man's Wire. In 1977, Tony Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgård) entered the office of Richard Hall (Montgomery), president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off shotgun wired with a 'dead man's wire' from the trigger to Tony's own neck. Director Gus Van Sant (To Die For) hopes his film doesn’t merely revisit a moment in history, but opens a conversation about how frustration, alienation and loss of control can twist into something volatile. In our chat with Montgomery, the Australian actor shares why he couldn’t resist working with legendary director Gus Van Sant and screen legend Al Pacino, as well as the physicality this performance demanded.More Popcorn:How Dacre Montgomery used smell in haunting film Went Up the HillBroken Hearts Gallery: a modern rom-com classicBehind-the-scenes insights into the making of Baz Luhrmann's ELVISKnow someone who loves movies?

Let's head into the jungle with Anaconda stars Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. Newton returns to Popcorn Podcast, opening up this time about playing the serious voice of reason in a very unserious situation, and why keeping a straight face opposite master improvisers may have been the hardest acting she’s ever done.

The conversation veers into fan-casting chaos (Jaws, anyone?), childhood dreams versus adult reality, and the joy of making a movie that’s genuinely fun.More Popcorn: Thandiwe Newton on Reminiscence and working with Westworld collaborator Lisa JoyEdgar Wright trades kinetic comedy for grim dystopia in The Running ManPopcorn Podcast unpacks The Roses remakeKnow someone who loves movies?
