It's time to get'cha head in the game and bop to the top, because in this special episode of Popcorn Jabber, we are joined by special guest Lauren Francis to chat about one of her favourite Disney musical films of all time - High School Musical!

Lauren loves love, and especially loves meet-cutes, which is a charming, humorous, or unusual first encounter between two characters in a story who are destined to fall in love, and for Lauren, High School Musical has one of the best meet-cutes of all between Troy & Gabriella!

In this episode:

• Daz, Oli, Lilli & Lauren all discuss their Top 5 movie soundtrack scores, as well as 2 mainstream songs they enjoy being used in film.
• The crew discuss their likes, dislikes, and fun takes of what they thought of High School Musical. With half of the crew having watched this film in their childhood, and the other half not, how does that impact their opinion of the film?

Lauren is the host of the brand new romance podcast - How'd You Meet, a podcast that shares real love stories from real people, centred on faith, commitment, and building a lasting, God-centred marriage. Check out her podcast here: https://shows.acast.com/the-howd-you-meet-podcast

Clean the dust off that popcorn bucket and open your favourite audio streaming app, because Popcorn Jabber are BACK for 2026!!! 🥳

Daz, Oli & Lilli are ready to give you another year of fresh film takes and pop culture news, and the crew are returning with a bang by making their first episode back the BIGGEST ONE YET!

In this special 2 HOUR PREMIERE:

• Daz, Oli & Lilli give you a DOUBLE dose of What's Poppin!
• The crew dive into the films they watched over the 2025-26 Summer Break - Avatar 3, Zootopia 2, Anaconda and so much more!

Please keep in mind the following changes being made to episodes this season:

1. Episodes will now be released fortnightly (starting today).
2. Movie discussions will now be a shorter, more brief overview, rather than a full scene-by-scene analysis.

What movies have you been watching while we've been gone? Let us know in the comments!

WHAT?! A random episode from Popcorn Jabber out of nowhere?! What is going on? Are Popcorn Jabber back?

All great questions! The PCJ Crew figured that even though we haven't jabbered about that much this year, it would be wrong if we didn't acknowledge all the films we jabbered about before we went on hiatus! So without further ado, this episode is a 2025 End of Year Recap! (More like a 4 month recap, but anyways!)

In this episode:

• Daz, Oli & Lilli share their Film Of The Year for 2025! What's yours?
• Oli and Lilli go head-to-head in another end of year game! However, this time, the game works a little differently...
• Daz shares his Top 10 Favourite Moments from Popcorn Jabber 2025!

So far, there are no promises that Popcorn Jabber will continue in 2026, but the crew are discussing it! As always, you'll just have to stay tuned!

We hope you all had a safe and blessed Christmas and Happy New Year! God bless from the PCJ Team!
