Popcorn Culture is brought to you by J and Ben Carlin aka the SuperCarlinBrothers on YouTube. The two are most well known for the The Pixar Theory, Rampant Predictions of your favorite upcoming movies, Harry Potter Trivia Fiends, and for being a pair of man childs. Man children? Men Children. None of those seem right. You get the point. Anyway, they wanted a way to talk more in depth about their theories and BEYOND! And this is their solution.

AWESOME podcast that makes me laugh every time! A HIGH recommendation for anyone and everyone who enjoys J and Ben’s content!! (It’s also hilarious listening to past episodes where Past J and Ben are talking about Covid. Ohhhhh, those were the days.)

Whether you’re riding in the car, working, or going through tough times, this show is a great escape into a genuine conversation between brothers. Sometimes you’ll agree, sometimes you’ll disagree, and sometimes you’ll just learn something new. Sure to make you feel good, laugh, and think about things on a level that you probably never have.

Don’t let the title deceive you! This is more of a conversation than a pop culture podcast. It’s amazing and suddenly DEEEPPPP! I love this podcast and I need a month for them to stop posting to catch up lol. I’ve been listening for about two years and find it fascinating!
See you in another life brother

OMG! I love this podcast so much. I have listened to it fully once already and am restarting and going through again. I am currently on episode 15 where J and Ben are talking about their predictions for COVID-19. I think it’s so funny how they are asking questions like… Will this become a history book worthy event? And where do you see yourself in one year? Ha ha genuinely though, great podcast, great people, great comedy, great stories 100% recommend!! -Norah
