Piper Curda & Bobby Moynihan join Popcorn Podcast to celebrate Disney Pixar's Hoppers streaming on Disney+. In Hoppers, Piper voices 19-year-old Mabel Tanaka, a passionate animal-lover who goes undercover in the animal kingdom after stumbling upon technology that can transfer human consciousness into lifelike robots. On her adventure, she meets King George, voiced by Bobby - the undeniably optimistic leader of the pond and king of the mammals. In our chat, Piper and Bobby talk about their amazing Beaver Sanctuary experience in the UK, what momentoes they now hold from their experience on the film, why their director got them to do 80-100 takes for some lines and so much more. You’re gonna love it.

Academy award nominated filmmaker Travis Knight is on Popcorn Podcast to talk his new blockbuster fantasy epic, Masters of the Universe. Travis Knight has a history of reviving nostalgic favourites, having directed Bumblebee, the 2018 solo film focused on the yellow-hued shapeshifting robot from the Transformers franchise. As a kid, his own collection of Masters of the Universe plastic heroes gave him his very first experiences crafting narratives and dramas on the floor of his bedroom; and now he is directing the first live-action adaptation of the beloved Mattel toys since 1987. In our chat, Travis talks about his very clear vision for the film he wasted no time in bringing to life, how he married practical and visual effects in the film perfectly and a story about Queen lead guitarist you have to hear to believe.
