A Minecraft Movie/ Death of a Unicorn
Text the Popcorn Pundits Podcast and let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you.
Week 76:
It’s a full house this week at The Popcorn Pundits! 🎬 Peter, James, and Nikky each took on wildly different cinematic journeys—from pixelated portals and unicorn disasters to 1500s queens with killer vocals and underground train horrors. It’s eclectic. It’s chaotic. It’s exactly what you signed up for.
🟫 A Minecraft Movie (Peter)
Four misfits fall into a blocky world powered by imagination and have to level up fast—or be stuck forever. It's part fantasy adventure, part gamer fever dream, and Peter’s here to break down whether it’s a win… or a glitchy respawn.
🩸 The Midnight Meat Train (Peter’s Homework)
Photographers usually look for good lighting—this guy finds a serial killer on a subway. Gruesome, moody, and totally bonkers, Peter reports back on how The Midnight Meat Train serves up both horror and… well, meat.
🦄 Death of a Unicorn (James)
What happens when Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, and a unicorn collide on a country road? You get a darkly funny, pharma-satirical horror that asks, “What would you do with a magical corpse?” James digs into the madness, the meaning, and the unicorn guts.
👑 Six: The Musical Live! (Nikky)
Nikky hits the stage (from her cinema seat) with this pop-powered retelling of Henry VIII’s six wives as they reclaim their stories—with sass, sparkle, and serious girl group energy. Is it history with harmony? She’ll let you know.
🌀 Plus, Nikky’s Sequel
Don’t miss this week’s Nikky’s Sequel, where she brings back a film the Pundits reviewed a year ago to see if time has been kind—or cringey.
🎧 New episode every Thursday – Tune in for sharp opinions, deep dives, and more film variety than a bargain DVD bin in 2006.
