Popcorn for Dinner

It is International Film Day on "Is This Cinema?" so after an extensive discussion on 'Sentimental Value' last month, we listen in as Jibbz & Ayisha discuss the rest of their favourite international films of 2026 in the lead up to the Oscars. They talk about the motif of corruption in 'The Secret Agent' (15:27) and then touch on why Jibbz picked 'It Was Just An Accident' as his movie of the year (27:13), the real life implications of Park Chan Wook's 'No Other Choice' (52:24) AND SO MUCH MORE

Nothing was the same.

Ebube, Afam and Soonen get together to attend a dragon’s funeral. As they do, they contemplate the aftermath of last week’s events and examine each character’s perspective on the deep loss — particularly Dunk and Valarr — before dissecting Maekar’s point of view to get to the meat of why he makes his offer to Dunk.

They discuss Egg, as well as his drip and the reason he does what he does at the end of the episode. They also talk about why this season worked, what Emmy category it belongs in, and why we’ll be seated front and center for the next one no matter what.

A few hours from the biggest payday of your career, you're sitting on the floor, cigarette in hand and drenched in the stench of a London night out. You can't remember when you last felt this good, but surprisingly, you're staying in the moment. You've earned this night, you deserve this night. This is your victory lap. As your best - and maybe only- friend rests on your shoulders, you think about what you've both been through. You make a silent PROMISE to her: "If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger, you know in the end, I'll always be there".
 
William returns to chat with the guys about an 'Industry' episode of escapes (and attempts). After poring over that opening scene, they discuss Whitney's unsettling, otherworldly nature, a very stressful 24 hours in New York, Yasmin's escape plans and of course, the club night everyone's talking about.

Now that the world is officially on fire, Ebube brings Emike in to discuss what's next for the characters; whether Yasmin's marriage will survive, how much more we'll see of Whitney, and whether Ken Leung will win the Emmy he so greatly deserves. AJ has several thoughts on all these passing matters.
While they're at it, they assess Harper's strength, Henry's safety, and the idea that a savior might be coming to comfort them. Emike and AJ also take some time to illustrate how the ladies of London — and the world, frankly — have had their fair share of Kwabena's kind.

"The story has been yours all along, you just didn't know it". Making his Popcorn for Dinner debut, Afolabi joins the guys to chat about the second entry on our year-long best of the Marvel Cinematic Universe list: 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'. They discuss James Gunn's very emotional farewell to this cast of characters, needle drops, F-bombs and of course, whether there's racism on Counter-Earth. So grab your tissues, walkmans and open the -- door, we are Groot!
