The Popcorn Diet is a show about bringing good movie buddies together and talkin' good movies wherever you listen to podcasts! Every movie has something to love, and we strive to stay away from negativity, trolling, and reveling in the bad by focusing and celebrating on what works while still bemoaning what doesn't. We strive to be a movie community that isn't divisive or condescending, that doesn't treat you like garbage because you love certain movies. We're just as willing to gush about Street Fighter as we are to praise L.A. Confidential. So if you love movies, and you want to talk movies, or want us to talk about the movies you love, get on The Popcorn Diet for a healthy, film-filled lifestyle.
