Wie steht es um unsere Superhelden? Nicht wirklich gut, meinen Jay, Manu und Janna. In dieser Folge von Popcorn Culture, haben wir wieder eine Liveaufnahme für euch. Wir haben die Möglichkeit beisammen zu sein genutzt, um der Superhelden Ära auf den Grund zu gehen. Von den ganz frühen Anfängen in den 80ern bis hin zu den neusten Amüsements der Kinoleinwand. Von Aquaman bis Wonder Woman, was fasziniert uns an diesen übermächtigen Gestalten, die ein ums andere Mal die Welt oder zumindest Gotham City retten müssen. Und warum beschleicht uns zusehends das Gefühl, die Geschichten hätten sich auserzählt? Wenn die grössten Erfolge nur noch mit Filmen erzielt werden, die die Superhelden selbst auf die Schippe nehmen. Deadpool lässt grüssen. Jay erzählt von Kill Bill und warum dort bereits der Anfang vom Ende eingeläutet wurde, Janna stellt fest, dass Superhelden nicht mehr in eine Zeit passen, in der gesellschaftliche Sehnsüchte unbefriedigt bleiben und jeder sich um sich selbst kümmert und Manu fragt sich, ob Jesus eigentlich ein Superheld war und ob wir nach wie vor eine*n Retter*in brauchen.

Based on the book series of the same name, The Wild Robot explores the themes of survival, discovery and connection, through the story of Roz, a robot that's shipwrecked on a deserted island, who then has to adapt to these new surroundings. We discuss this critically acclaimed movie, that's also likely to be the last Dreamworks movie done in-house, before expanding the conversation to look at other animation classics that exist outside the Disney/Pixar studio system. Finally, we close off as always with The B-Side, a deep dive into the music of the big and small screen.Image Credit: IMDb

Blumhouse is back with another horror outing, this time it's Speak No Evil, a remake of the 2018 acclaimed Danish film. The 2024 film is directed by James Watkins and stars James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis. We discuss if the film lives up to the original, and then in Take Two talk about remakes that worked (or didn't) and finally on The B-Side explore the music of horror trailers.Image Credit: IMDb

After a very long and circuitous road to being made, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is out! The sequel to the original 1988 film sees the return of Tim Burton (of course), but also most of the main players: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara, along with new additions Jenna Ortega and Willem Dafoe, among others. We discuss this much-anticipated sequel and whether it's a return to form for Burton, before turning our attention to cult classics in Take Two. Finally, we close off with a deep dive into Danny Elfman's original score for the movies, and a shout-out to Harry Belafonte.

It's a slow week in cinema releases, but there've been a slew of movies that either never made it to the big screen here in Malaysia (or that we didn't get to review), including The Holdovers, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, so we're discussing them all and dissecting which one is worth watching and re-watching. Then on Take Two, we're looking at the movies we wish would return to the big screen, since there've been a number of re-releases recently, including Sepet. And of course, we're concluding with The B-Side, which is about the music of Mad Max.Image Credit: IMDb

With Merdeka just around the corner, we're having an all-Malaysian episode today! Kicking off with a review of Amanda Nell Eu's much-lauded Tiger Stripes, in its full form on Netflix, before segueing into a discussion about the best that Malaysian film has to offer, before we close off with The B-Side as always.Image Credit: IMDb

The Alien franchise rolls on with its latest instalment, this time as a standalone interquel that takes place in between the events of Alien and Aliens, when young space colonists encounter a xenomorph, while scavenging on an abandoned space station. Helmed by Fede Alvarez, it's a highly anticipated movie especially following the (relative) disappointments of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. We discuss if it's lived up to the hype, and then in Take Two, cover some of our favourite on-screen extraterrestrials, before closing off with a very old track, You Are My Lucky Star on The B-Side.Image Credit: IMDb

M. Night Shyamalan's back with his latest high-concept thriller: this time about a serial killer trapped at a concert with his daughter, as the walls and law enforcement close in. We discuss whether this Josh Hartnett-led vehicle works, and whether the nepo baby accusations are warranted. Then on Take Two, we discuss the directors who are either the main draw for watching something, or the reason we avoid a project. Finally, on the B-Side, in honour of father-daughter duos in movies, we're closing it out with Aerosmith's classic tearjerker, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.Image Credit: IMDb

The second season of House of the Dragon is done and dusted, with the tensions between the Greens and the Blacks at an all time high and more glorious dragon battles. We discuss the entire season before getting into the question of on screen kings & queens on Take Two and closing it off with another one of Ramin Djawadi's iconic themes from the franchise on B-Side. Image Credit: IMDb

Carmy and the gang are back, cousins! Each season of The Bear has had its own unique flavours and travails, and Season 3 picks up exactly where we left off, with the crew of the newly formed restaurant on the search for their menu, and a good review. We discuss how this season stands up against the earlier ones, and then since the awards (and some viewers) keep insisting that The Bear is a comedy, Take 2 is all about the shows and movies that manage to straddle that fine line between drama and comedy, before we close off on The B-Side with some Taylor Swift.

Everyone's favourite motor mouthed masked hero is back, partnered (for real this time) with a well-loved cigar-smoking Adamantium-clawed member of the X-Men! In other words, this week we're reviewing Deadpool & Wolverine, and discussing whether this heavily anticipated reuniting of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman lives up to the hype. Then on Take Two, we discuss the moments when other actors have been perfectly matched with iconic roles. Finally, we close off with the B-Side, focusing on that legendary X-Men animated theme.Image Credit: IMDb

Über Geld spricht man bekanntlich nicht. Was für Jay, Marco und Gofi schon Grund genug ist, genau das trotzdem zu tun. In der aktuellen Folge beantworten wir endlich mal wieder einige Fragen, die uns von Zuhörenden erreicht haben. Und in einer davon geht es um das Thema Geld, Finanzen und Spenden und wie das aus christlicher Sicht zu bewerten ist. Ist das biblische Modell des Zehnten wirklich einfach so zu übernehmen in unseren Gemeinden und Kirchen? Woher kommt diese Idee eigentlich und warum tun sich in den Berichten des Neuen Testaments gerade die Reichen scheinbar so schwer mit der Jesus-Nachfolge? Spannend und an einigen Stellen auch ein bisschen unbequem, weil auch die Arbeit von Hossa Talk sich ausschließlich über die Unterstützung unserer Zuhörenden finanziert. Ganz schön nah an der eigenen Wirklichkeit also. Außerdem reden wir über Gemeindetrennungen bzw. Spaltungen, den Wunsch nach der Deutungshoheit und aus irgendwelchen Gründen auch über Unterwäsche. Aber hört selbst! Mit diesem Talk verabschieden wir uns in eine kurze Sommerpause. Die nächste Hossa-Folge erscheint dann wieder am 08.09. Hier gehts zum FCK Purity-Talk mit Marco: https://www.podcast.de/episode/636701528/als-wir-geister-waren-spicy-purity-talk-mit-poet-marco-michalzik Hier findest du den Lichtspielhaus-Talk, wo Hossa Talk zu Gast bei Jens Böttcher sind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e43a1qU3oSQ Und hier gehts zur aktuellen Folge von Popcorn Culture zur Serie Rentierbaby: https://www.reflab.ch/rentierbaby-babyreindeer-oder-ein-ausflug-in-den-menschlichen-abgrund/

New FBI agent Lee Harker finds themselves tangled in the dark web of a Satanic serial killer known as Longlegs, played by the ever eccentric Nicolas Cage. We review the film, before reflecting on our favourite horror films on Take Two and then closing it off with Bernard Herrmann's iconic score from Psycho.Image Credit: IMDb

House of the Dragon is back with its second season, and with all the hallmarks that have come to characterise Westeros: intense, twisted relationships, endless battles both literal and figurative, and more dragons than you can shake a stick at. We catch up with HotD Season 2 - or at least all the episodes that have dropped so far - before getting into the question of power struggles on screen in Take Two, and closing it off with Ramin Djawadi's famous theme on B-Side.Image Credit: HBO

Popcorn Culture is back, with some changes in the lineup and the show, and we're kicking things off with a review of the latest installment in the A Quiet Place series, A Quiet Place: Day One. After that, we move on to hearing from folks about the movies and shows they've enjoyed the most in 2024 - so far at least - before capping off with a deep dive into Bobby Darrin's Beyond The Sea, which played a significant role in this movie series (and also Finding Nemo, among other films).

In this episode DeAisha and Zharyia are discussing the heavily influenced popcorn culture that we live in today. They discuss clout chasing and how that can impact your self-image and mentality. GET YOUR MERCH:

In der aktuellen Folge wird wieder zu dritt getalkt. Jay und Marco unterhalten sich mit Mira Ungewitter. Mira ist Theologin und Pastorin der Projektgemeinde in Wien und ist für langjährige Hossa-Hörende keine Unbekannte. In Folge 154 war sie nämlich schonmal zu Gast. Im Gespräch mit Marco und Jay erzählt sie von ihrem kürzlich erschienen Buch „Gott ist Feministin“. Darf man das überhaupt - Gott so bezeichnen? Mira findet ja und erzählt, wie sie auf den Titel kam und was sie damit meint. Sie nimmt uns mit hinein in den mühevollen Schreibprozess des Buchs, erzählt von überraschend progressiven biblischen Frauenfiguren, von Erotik und Selbstbestimmung und was diese Texte mit ihrer eigenen Biografie zu tun haben. In einem Kapitel des Buchs schreibt Mira auch über Abtreibung und Pro-Choice. Auch darum geht es ausführlich in diesem Gespräch. Außerdem liest Mira eine Passage aus „Gott ist Feministin“ und verknüpft dabei ein Lady Gaga Konzert mit der biblischen Geschichte von Ruth und Naomi und ihrer theologischen Sicht auf Queerness. Eine Folge voller heißer Eisen, wichtiger Fragen und dem eigenen Ringen damit.

Vor kurzem waren Jay und Marco für eine Live-Tour in der Schweiz. Es waren drei fantastische, tiefe und auch sehr lustige Abende. Natürlich wurden die Talks auch aufgenommen. In Bern haben wir uns darüber unterhalten, ob es möglich ist progressiv und offen zu glauben und trotzdem eine innige und persönliche Spiritualität zu behalten oder zu haben. Und falls ja, wie das aussehen könnte. Außerdem gab es spannende Fragen aus dem Publikum über die angeregt und in Hossa-Manier diskutiert wurde. Es war ein wahnsinnig schöner Abend in besonderer Atmosphäre. Viel Spaß also mit Talk Eins unserer Schweiz-Tour.

Uwe Schäfer ist Pastor und engagiert sich mit seinem Verein SchlussStrich e.V. weltweit gegen die kommerzielle sexuelle Ausbeutung von Kindern. Außerdem ist er unter seinem Künstlernamen Uwe X als Songwriter und Musiker unterwegs und hat mehrere Alben veröffentlicht. Im aktuellen Talk erzählt uns Uwe von seiner ADHS-Diagnose und davon wie er sich durch ein Burnout nicht neu erfunden hat, sondern sich selbst wiedergefunden hat, was das mit seinem Glauben und seinen Gottesbildern gemacht hat und was das alles mit seinem Verein und seinem Engagement für eine gerechtere Welt zu tun hat. Außerdem hören wir natürlich auch in einige Songs rein und reden über rechte Tendenzen unter Christen und Uwes Blick auf die „Endzeit“.

Whether you enjoy movie monsters, action adventures, sci fi thrillers, historical dramas, or war epics, chances are at least one Steven Spielberg movie will count amongst your list of favourites. An incredibly prolific filmmaker with a five-decade long career, Spielberg has given us some of the biggest, most beloved blockbusters of all time - ET, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, take your pick! - and influenced a whole generation of filmmaking. In this Supercut, we look at his style of filmmaking, our favourite Spielberg movies, and why, despite his incredible success, he's often viewed as being more crowd-pleasing than accomplished.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans is a semi-autobiographical movie inspired by Spielberg's own adolescence and how he fell in love with filmmaking. In the movie, the fictional Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), discovers the power of cinema alongside uncovering difficult truths about his family. The film also stars Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, and Seth Rogen. We review the "film about films", and discuss how it gives us an intimate look at one of the best-known filmmakers of our time.

Looking past the blonde bombshell persona, Pamela, A Love Story re-examines and reframes Pamela Anderson's legacy, starting from her beginnings as a small-town girl all the way to her ascent into becoming an international sex symbol. Along the way, the documentary also asks complex questions about fame and how women, in particular, are viewed by the public eye. We review the film and talk about all the praise it's been garnering.

Many movies and TV shows are enjoyable, but only a select few transcend that to being rewatchable. Whether it's reruns of FRIENDS, annual viewings of Die Hard, or repeat watches of Anchorman, what makes some things so good, you want to experience them over and over again? We discuss what makes some content so much fun to revisit.

In Noah Baumbach's first attempt at an adaptation (White Noise was originally a novel written in 1985 by Don DeLillo), he takes on the story of a suburban family forced to evacuate their home following a chemical leak nearby that causes toxic black cloud over the region. Starring Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, and Don Cheadle, the film has been getting praise for its performances and darkly comedic tone. We review the movie and talk about how it fits within the larger landscape of Baumbach's quirky cinema.

The old In Bruges gang is back! Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, and director Martin McDonagh reunite in this 2022 tragicomedy, where Padraic (Farrell) is left devastated when his lifelong friend Colm (Gleeson) suddenly ends their relationship. The film follows Padraic's attempts to repair the friendship, which lead to shocking results. We review the movie.

Robert Eggers' The Northman made a number of headlines when it came out earlier this year: for its dedication to realism and detail, on-screen violence, and the promise of a retelling of Hamlet, set in the Viking period, and influenced by Norse mythology. We explore whether it lived up to the hype, and whether it fares as well on the small screen as it would have in a theatre.

The pandemic and lockdowns haven't been kind to the film industry over the last few years, which has resulted in a real mixed bag of releases this year when it comes to movies. And while not every heavily promoted release ended up making the mark, there were some major winners as well, whether unexpected oddball hits like Everything Everywhere All At Once, blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick, or streaming releases like Prey. As 2022 comes to a close, we look back at some of our favourite movies of the year and discuss why they made our respective Best Of lists.

A new Guillermo del Toro film is generally cause for celebration amongst film fans, and what more when it's his take on the beloved classic fairy tale Pinocchio. The stop-motion animated musical was co-directed by Del Toro and Mark Gustafson, and features a voice cast of luminaries, including Ewan McGregor, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Christoph Waltz, and John Turturro. We review the movie, and talk about whether the story brings the real feels.

Inspired by historical photographs from the 1860s of an enslaved man's heavily scourged back, thereby providing evidence of the cruelty of American slavery, Emancipation tells the story of Peter (played by Will Smith), who flees a plantation in Louisiana. Inescapably, the film is also Smith's first release since the infamous slap at the 2022 Oscars. We review the movie and talk about Smith's performance.

It's a simple fact of being a movie and TV buff in 2022, that there's simply a deluge of content to watch: from old to new, episodic to full season drops, cinema to streaming. So how do you decide what to watch? What's the most reliable path towards a good watching decision and experience? We try to unpack that in this episode of Supercut.

By the time it premiered at the Venice Film Festival, rumours around Don't Worry Darling had been swirling for months: on-set romances and fights, a star and director who didn't get along, infidelities. So much so that the drama of it all almost eclipsed the film itself. In this episode, we review this Olivia Wilde-directed psychological thriller and talk about whether the hype helped or hindered it.

An Irish girl stops eating, yet remains alive and well for months. An English nurse is sent to observe her, and to see if it is in fact a miracle. That's the starting point for this Florence Pugh-led psychological period drama. In the first of our Pugh double-header this week, we review The Wonder and assess whether it's worth a watch.

Ben and J discuss... well nothing because Ben is unexpectedly out of office!

From Sam Rockwell and Stanley Tucci, to Toni Collette and Regina King, some actors just don't get the shine they deserve - even though they've got an amazing roster of roles. This Supercut, we discuss the perennially under-appreciated actors, and share some of our favourites.

David O' Russell's latest comes, predictably, with a stacked cast featuring, just to name a few, Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldaña, and Timothy Olyphant. Set in 1930s, the plot is inspired by the Business Plot, a 1933 political conspiracy in the US, and tells the story of three friends who witness a murder, end up becoming suspects themselves, and get caught up in the goings-on. We review the movie, and talk about whether it lives up to the hype.

Every so often, a movie comes out of nowhere and gathers enough buzz to break into the mainstream. Such is the case of French action drama Athena, which received a warm reception at various festivals before making its way to Netflix. The film, directed by Romain Gavras, revolves around the tragic killing of a young boy from the community of Athena, which sparks a larger conflict involving his three siblings who search for answers. We review the movie.

Marilyn in her white dress, John Wayne in his hat, Rajinikanth in his sunglasses - what are the ingredients that go into making cinematic icons, well, iconic? In this Supercut episode, we try to unpack that and answer why some of these stars continue to burn so bright.

Based on Joyce Carol Oates' bestselling fictional take on Marilyn Monroe's life, Blonde is a psychological biopic drama that garnered a lot of controversy even before it came out for a variety of reasons: the casting of Ana de Armas in the central role, its graphic content, and the central question - did we need another film about this tragic film icon? We try to answer that in this review.

Described by some critics as 'near perfection', Some Like It Hot has a lot going for it - it's directed, produced and co-written by Billy Wilder, it has both Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis - and of course, it has a sparkling Marilyn Monroe performance. Ahead of reviewing Blonde, we look back to a movie that's often been regarded as one of Monroe's bests, and discuss what it's like watching it 63 years on.

Description: From Paris and New York, to Tokyo and Seoul, cities have always featured in a huge way in film and television, sometimes even becoming a main character in its own right. In this Supercut, we talk about our favourite cities on screen and the movies and shows that manage to capture the spirit of a place.

Edgar Wright's latest film went to previously unexplored territory for him - a psychological horror drama film that ties the experience of two newcomers to London and Soho, separated though they might be by decades. Starring Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, and Terence Stamp, it's also the final onscreen appearance of Diana Rigg. In this episode of Stuff We Missed, we talk about the experience of watching this film, its visual storytelling, and where it sits in Edgar Wright's larger filmography.

Described as his most personal film, Belfast is written and directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh, and explores the coming-of-age of a young boy in Belfast during The Troubles. Starring Caitríona Balfe, Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciarán Hinds, Colin Morgan and Jude Hill, the film received very warm reviews and a lot of awards buzz. We discuss our experience of watching this film, and how it captures a city and its people.

After a fair amount of back and forth, uproar and Thor memes mourning the lack of a release in Malaysia, Thor: Love and Thunder has finally arrived on our shores, quietly showing up on Disney+ as a streaming option. We review this latest entry into the MCU canon (and Taika Waititi filmography), and discuss whether it's worth the wait.

A 1999 remake of a 1932 film, The Mummy packed a lot into its 2-hour runtime: zany comedy, all the trappings of a classic action-adventure film, and a great pairing in the form of Brendan Fraser's American adventurer Rick O'Connell and Rachel Weisz's scholarly librarian, Evelyn Carnahan. All that - and of course, mummies and pyramids. In this episode, we take it back to the movie that kickstarted sequels and spinoffs (and maybe, kind of, Dwayne Johnson's career), and talk about whether it still holds up.

From talking animals to fantastical kingdoms to magical races of beings, fantasy as a film and TV genre is so wide as to have spawned multiple subgenres. Yet at the heart of it, is a fascination with imaginary worlds and everything that might occur in them. In this Supercut, we discuss the fantasy genre onscreen, and geek out about some of our favourites.

Just the synopsis alone is enough to intrigue: Tilda Swinton plays a scholar of mythology, who finds a djinn who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. When she's sceptical about making the wishes, the djinn tells her fantastical stories of his past in an effort to convince her. Oh, and the djinn is played by Idris Elba. If that's not enough, the movie is directed by the always surprising George Miller, back at the helm for the first time in seven years. We review the movie.

While we've explored comedy before, we haven't focused specifically on the people who make us laugh, and all the effort and thought that goes into their work. So this Supercut is dedicated to our favourite comedians, through the years (and generations)!
