Sammy & Stella unpack the awkward brilliance of Napoleon Dynamite and dive into Juror #2's twisty courtroom suspense. From deep-fried nostalgia to Eastwood-directed intensity, it's a genre mashup of supreme indie weirdness and a legal drama that somehow doesn't quite live up to expectations. Sammy also gives a rather useful reccy of the New York Times Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century list.

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, we dive into two wildly different worlds: the cringe-fueled bromance of Friendship, starring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson, and the spellbinding spectacle of Wicked, where Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo float, belt, and bubble their way through Oz. Stella’s loving the songs (and totally ready to defy gravity), while Sam’s less enchanted by the bleurgh colour palette. Meanwhile, Friendship delivers laughs and discomfort in equal measure, as our hosts unpack what it means to be endearingly desperate in a punk-band friendship gone haywire.🍿🧙‍♀️🧼

This week on The Podcorn with Sam and Stella, it’s heroics versus havoc as we take on the brand-new Superman movie and revisit the monster mayhem of Cloverfield. While Clark Kent flexes his muscles (and maybe some questionable storytelling), the creature in Cloverfield stomps its way through nostalgia and shaky cam trauma. Expect superhero side-eyes, kaiju-level critiques, and the usual Podcorn tangents that fly faster than a speeding bullet. 🍿🦸‍♂️👾
