Chewing The Popcorn 117 – Rogue One Meets Solo
Laura, John and Kahn are back to talk all things Solo and Rogue One, with diversions into Marvel, Disney, Doctor Who and Morgan’s many hats and space facts. And Jaffa Cakes. Again.

Chewing The Popcorn 116 - Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith
Well, the one thing we can all agree on is that Sockgloves are a thing and Morgan's ahead of the curve once again. We also agree that this is the best of the prequels, but that's not exactly a bold statement. Or a high bar for that mat...

Chewing The Popcorn 115 - Star Wars: The Clones Wars
Look, we don't want to be negative nellies, but we only watched this because John said we had to. We're not talking to John anymore...

Chewing The Popcorn 114: Star Wars - Attack Of The Clones
Somehow we spend more time talking about a film we can't stand than it would have taken to just sit there in sullen silence watching the actual thing. Still we had more fun. Morgan's back, the finer points of Yoda get discussed and we ...

Chewing The Popcorn 113 - Star Wars The Phantom Menace
So, funny story. As we were running out of Doctor Who episodes to talk over we started bending our minds to what to do next. And someone suggested Star Wars.And no one could think of a good reason not to.So here we are.We're not ask...

Chewing The Popcorn 112 - Doctor Who The Curse Of Fatal Death
Look, it's not our fault - Kahn hates leaving things on an odd number. So you get a sneaky extra bonus episode that's four times longer than the thing we talked over. But at least we remembered to vote for our favourite Doctor.

Chewing The Popcorn 111 - Doctor Who: Twice Upon A Time
Can this really be it? Is this really the end? A mere 17 months ago we sat down to have a bit of fun and a wee drinkie. Many alcohols and much episodes later, we come to the end of all that we know and love. There's an old Doctor, a ne...

Chewing The Popcorn 110 - Doctor Who: The Doctor Falls
And so we near the end, and what an end it's going to be. We have Missy, The Master, Bill as we've never seen her before..... It's going to be emotional. So settle in, dear listener, and join us as we prepare to say farewell to all we'...

Chewing The Popcorn 109 - Doctor Who: World Enough And Time
As we saunter casually towards regeneration time, the Unsalted Popcorn crew gather to talk over World Enough And Tome, one of the most annoying titles of the modern era. There will be tears, there will be laughter, there will be obscure paralle...

Chewing The Popcorn 108 - Doctor Who: Lie Of The Land
What started out as four people watching the final part of the "so-called" Monk trilogy descends into Morgan's love of a cake-based snack before you can so much as blink. But somehow we manage to turn it around and talk about Doctor Who stuff i...
•
1:07:08
Chewing The Popcorn 107 - Doctor Who: Pyramid At The End of the World
And so we reach the midway point of what some people are calling a trilogy, and we are tackling the big issues this week – will John notice we've started? Does Kahn actually exist? What if The Doctor appeared in an episode of Monkey? Does Laura...
•
1:00:38
Chewing The Popcorn 106 - Doctor Who: Extremis
And so we embark on what some are calling The Monks Trilogy, and for added fun this episode is a race against time as someone realised a bit too late that they had to be somewhere else in less than an hour.Did they make it? Did we cut the e...

Chewing The Popcorn 105 - Doctor Who: Oxygen
A special episode even by our standards as we concern ourselves with a Skype thingie you can't see and an entire season of Doctor Who we aren't even watching. We do take the time to discuss Nardole, but might possibly kill off Rory in the proce...
•
1:01:44
Chewing The Popcorn 104 - Doctor Who: The Pilot
And so we reach the beginning of the end of Peter Capaldi's time in the Tardis – but at least we have Bill along for the ride. Your Unsalted Popcorn regulars are so excited they forget to talk about other things like Garbage's new album and Lau...

1:17:06
Chewing The Popcorn 103 - Doctor Who: The Husbands Of River Song
After a brief break, the Directionless Commentary crew are back and it's time to check out The Husbands Of River Song. A classic, a favourite and one we – in our own fine style – talk over so you don't have to. Sit back, pour a drink, ...

1:26:09
Chewing The Popcorn 102 - Doctor Who: Get Bent
Our regular listener will remember that at the end of Heaven Sent we discussed how the episode had been received, and many people said 'best ever, now watch them screw it up'. Well, funny story....In amongst people eating hot food, mild con...
•
1:15:22
Chewing The Popcorn 101 - Doctor Who: Heaven Sent
Don't worry, this is definitely a Doctor Who episode. Possibly one of the best ever. And not a cat or Corden in sight. We've even brought crackers, and we answer Katy's questions. Who says we don't look after our listener?As ever, press pla...

1:15:48
Chewing The Popcorn 100 - A Purrfect Celebration with added Cats
And so it has come to this. Our 100th episode. What an occasion. Especially after the worst year since the last bad one. We couldn't let this momentous occasion pass without doing something special. And we had ideas. So many ideas. But...

Chewing The Popcorn 99 - Doctor Who: Face The Raven
And so, from the worst Doctor Who episode ever, we fly into the best story Clara ever did. Is it that good? Or is it just good because last week's was so terrible? Listen along to find out the answer....
•
1:04:34
Chewing The Popcorn 98 - Doctor Who: Sleep No More
Ever notice the issues with found footage stories? We have. Which is handy as there's not a lot else to talk about with this episode. So we burble on and on and pray for it all to end.....Listening to this will be more fun than watching the...

1:08:50
Chewing The Popcorn 96 – Doctor Who: Converted Zygons
So, funny story. This is technically the first episode, but it's also the second one as it was recorded after the first one despite us watching the first one first and the second one second. Got that? Good. All will become less clear o...
•
1:00:10
Chewing The Popcorn 97 - Doctor Who: Inverted Zygons
So, funny story. This is technically the second episode, but it's also the first one as it was recorded before the first one despite us watching the first one first. Got that? Good. All will become less clear once you start listening.&...

Chewing The Popcorn 95 - Doctor Who: The Witch's Familiar
As Unsalted Popcorn's intrepid time-travelling TV watchers carry on with season nine, thoughts turn to, among other things, Lego Daleks, cats' bottoms, gunk and the mysterious Potato. Find out more, or arguably less, by joining Laura, ...

Chewing The Popcorn 94 - Doctor Who: The Magician's Apprentice
And so The Doctor is back with a bang. He has shades, he has a guitar, and Morgan, John, Laura and Kahn get all excited as it's like season 8 never happened. We have Missy and Daleks and all is right with the world it seems. A...

Chewing The Popcorn 93 - Doctor Who: Dark Water and Death In Heaven
And so we come to the end of Peter Capaldi's first season as The Doctor - and you know what that means? A double-episode special with added booziness. We start off all paying-attention and we end with Kahn not remembering people's names. In bet...
