With Oscar season kicked into high gear, The Boys dissect three wildly different movies - "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery," "Hamnet" and "Train Dreams" - and why each one surprised them for different reasons. Josh O'Connor! Jessie Buckley! Kerry Condon! The rising Jupe dynasty! Pop, pop!

"Wicked: For Good" finally hit theaters and it's...bad? Kinda good? Absolutely insane? Maybe all of the above! The Boys break down Cynthia and Ariana's return to the screen, why there are so many damn animals, Jonathan Bailey as a general concept and Kyle's trip to see "The Wizard of Oz" at The Sphere. Pop, pop!

The Boys are back to discuss 'Frankenstein,' the lore of Mary Shelley, the power of the theater experience and why 'Die My Love' is proving to be the most divisive movie of the year. Pop, pop!

The Boys are back to discuss Netflix's "A House of Dynamiate," which is ultimately quite weird, "Bugonia," which is expectedly weird and the best (and hottest!) under-40 actors and actresses working today. Pop, pop!

The Boys are back with as they discuss 'One Battle After Another,' 'After The Hunt,' the power of Julia Roberts, a Box Office Challenge update and that kid who fell into the gorilla enclosure that one time. Pop, pop!

There's a new Man of Steel in town and, my oh my, are there things to be said. The Boys celebrate the arrival of David Corenswet in "Superman" by taking a look back at the superhero's origins, the legacy of Christopher Reeve, the curious case of Lois Lane and a dissection of the prison industrial system. Pop, pop!

In the wake of The New York Times' list of the top 100 movies of the 21st century sending the Internet into a tizzy, The Boys reveal their own top 10 lists. Plus, a breakdown of recent releases "F1" and "Materialists," which basically results in debates about Brad Pitt's parenting and leg lengthening surgery. Pop, pop!

Nearly 20 years ago, 'Crash' defeated 'Brokeback Mountain' for Best Picture at the 2006 Academy Awards as homophobia reigned over Hollywood. The Boys look back at that seminal Oscars ceremony to figure out how it happened, plus a discussion about Rachel Weisz's win for Best Supporting Actress, Reese Witherspoon's southern accent and whatever Jon Stewart was doing in his monologue. Oh, and a breakdown of the Karen Read trial, of course. Pop, pop!

Well, it's all come to this. To celebrate the release of "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning," The Boys break down the career of Thomas Cruise Mapother IV. Undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and divisive movie stars of all-time (certainly amongst the Popcorn Boys), Thomas Cruise Mapother IV's life and career get dissected from the very beginning. From "Cocktail" and "Jerry Maguire" to the "Mission: Impossible" franchise and whatever the hell The Entity is. Will this be the last episode in Popcorn Boys history? It's likely. Pop, pop.

The Boys are back to discuss something called "A Minecraft Movie" becoming the biggest phenomenon in the world despite neither of them really knowing what it is. Daniel and Kyle ponder what that means, how it might impact things going forward and why everybody is losing their shit in movie theaters. Plus, discussion of season 3 of "The White Lotus" and "Lost," for some reason. Pop, pop!

Live from the historic Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California, it's the first annual Popcorn Boys Perfectly Popped Movie of the Year Awards!

#78 - "Emilia Perez" Controversy Throws Oscar Season Into Chaos and a Ranking of the Best Picture Nominees by The Popcorn Boys

Wake up, dorks! It's the best day of the year! The 2025 Box Office Draft is here. Daniel and Kyle pick a total of 46 movies — 20 each, plus 3 back-ups — in a battle of box office supremacy the likes of which nobody has ever seen. What will go #1? How many of these movies are actually real? What the hell is "The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie?" Answers to all of those questions and more will be revealed in the greatest yearly tradition in movie history. Pop, pop!

The Boys have seen the memes, they've watched the interviews, they've gobbled up the narratives and, most importantly, they've finally seen "Wicked." It's a full dissection of Daniel and Kyle's trip to Oz, which includes way too many attempted "Defying Gravity" riffs, a discussion about all things Ariana, a surprising amount of time devoted to goats and, ultimately, just how high this movie can fly come awards season. Grab your broomsticks!

The Boys are back after two separate trips to see each other - one in L.A., one in Detroit. They discuss those excursions, the state of the Box Office Challenge, the general state of the world, the general state of Maria Menounos and, at long, last, their thoughts on 'The Substance.'

It's time for The Boys to discuss the "Alien" franchise, so you know what that means! A full dissection of James Cameron's five marriages, Ridley Scott's three wives, Sigourney Weaver's real name and why the aliens are so wet. Oh, and a brief discussion of the films themselves. Pop, pop!

Deadpool is back, unfortunately, and The Boys are here to discuss him, unfortunately! Ryan Reynolds continues to choke the life out of pop culture with his presence and Hugh Jackman is along for the ride in "Deadpool and Wolverine," a movie that has a lot to say without really saying anything at all. Impressive! However, the superhero schlock is really just an appetizer for "Trap," the latest entry from M. Night Shyamalan, who is clearly not okay. It's a movie that threatens to tear The Boys apart. Pop, pop! The Emagine Skybox: https://www.emagine-entertainment.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Skybox.jpg

The Boys are fresh off a week in Los Angeles together, but none of that is important because "Twisters" is finally here! Daniel and Kyle talk tornadoes, Glen Powell's sex appeal, Daisy Edgar-Jones' accent, Kiernan Shipka being around for a few minutes and the complete decay of theater etiquette. These men are getting old! If you feel it, chase it! Pop, pop!

To celebrate the release of "Hit Man," starring our only movie star Glen Powell, The Boys did a deep dive into the filmography of director Richard Linklater. They discuss his debut "Slacker," the beloved "Before" film trilogy, the nostalgia of "Boyhood" and, unfortunately, get into their biggest podcast fight yet about "Dazed and Confused." Matthew McConaughey just does this to people. Pop, pop!
