Deborah Mailman returns to Popcorn Podcast to talk her latest collaboration with Warwick Thornton, Wolfram. Inspired by the family stories of Warwick Thornton and writer David Tranter and set against the backdrop of the 1930s colonial frontier, Wolfram is a taut frontier western where Aboriginal child labourers in the wolfram (tungsten) mines confront colonial brutality and injustice. In this insightful and joyous chat, Deborah shares how writer/director Warwrick Thornton had her at hello, the softness of the story that attracted her to the project, how she found a soft landing after cameras stopped rolling and the cultural obligation of telling this story and also making it entertaining for audiences.

The King of Pop's long awaited biopic, Michael, has hit the big screen and special guest Connor Dalton joins Tim to dive deep into the films triumphs and tribulations. Michael is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists of all time, Michael Jackson. Tim and Connor discuss if the film succeeds in its attempt to dramatise the meteoritic rise of Michael Jackson, if the transformative performance of Jaafar Jackson is Oscar worthy, and if the online war between critics and fans is balanced or biased. All this and so much more!

We welcome two brilliant Australian artists on Popcorn Podcast to talk their new Australian film, Beast. Director Tyler Atkins is an Australian filmmaker known for crafting emotionally resonant narratives and Logie Award Winning Australian actor Daniel MacPherson. Beast follows a once-feared MMA champion (Daniel MacPherson) being pulled back in for the fight of his life when his younger brother is put in danger. Reuniting with the trainer (Russel Crowe) who once made him a legend, he commits to one final showdown against the reigning title-holder. In our chat, Dan and Tyler share how the script evolved into a distinctly Australian story and the incredible challenges faced during the production. What Pattons greatest strength is as a character and the action of letting the film go for an audience to enjoy. We also unpack the importance of how a very clear vision helps realise a powerful and impactful final product.
