Popcorn Junkie: Recent Episodes
Jon Baley
Join host Jon Baley as he reviews the latest movie releases and goes into discussions on movies and filmmaking.
I feel like I keep doing this, but Popcorn Junkie needs another hiatus. This week I review Brave New World, Intelligence, Tiny Creatures, and the latest Muppets Now episode, plus breakdown my thoughts on NBC Universal's Peacock service, but the big announcement is the Popcorn Junkie podcast is going on another hiatus. This show just has not worked out enough to even begin to match the costs of making it, and I need to try something new. I will announce what the new plan is when it's ready, but for right now, no more weekly Popcorn Junkie podcast episodes. Thanks for listening.

Making up for missing an episode last week, Jon watched a bunch of stuff: Howard, the Howard Ashman documentary; the long belated animated movie Animal Crackers; Muppets Now, the new Muppets show for Disney+; Central Park, Loren Bouchard and Josh Gad's animated musical show on Apple TV+; Harley Quinn seasons 1 and 2; plus, rewatches for Chowder, Kung Fu Panda, Jurassic Park, and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Also, in lieu of a discussion, this week Jon introduces 4 new series pilots: Hail to the King, a Godzilla movie retrospective series; PokéCinema, a Pokémon movie and special retrospective series; This is Your Life, Charlie Brown, a Peanuts movie and special retrospective series; and his most ambitious one, DisneyMation, a retrospective for every animated movie made or owned by Disney.
If you want any of these pilots to become a reality, share the episodes so they can get more listens and downloads, support the show on Patreon, or let Jon know through Popcorn Junkie's social media or at popcornjunkiepodcast@gmail.com.

You know what's ripe for mocking? The Oscars and bad movies. You know who sucks at it? The Razzies. The Razzies have had 30 years to be a decent anti-Oscars, and they've never been good. It's time someone took up the challenge and made a real breakdown for the worst in filmmaking.
That's where I come in. Welcome to the First Annual Slimey Awards, because like Oscar isn't too far from his pet worm Slimey, we're right there with the Oscars. What exemplified the absolute worst in filmmaking? Tune in and find out.

Hey, everyone. Jon here. As much as I've loved talking about movies through this show for the last 3 years, I think I need to admit this show is not going anywhere, and is causing me more stress without any real payoff. To any of the longtime listeners, thank you for your support. I may return to this show when I have a new idea to make this less stressful on me, but for the time being Popcorn Junkie is going on hiatus.
