No spoilers! We saw an early screening of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with directors Lord and Miller and it was the best movie we've seen so far this year. That is not something the BFP gang says lightly. We don't give anything away that you don't already know from the trailer and other reviews, but we do talk about the incredible animation, the heartfelt story, and the music. It hits theaters June 2.
Spoiler! We also recap the Succession finale and like many of you, were glad to see Tom at the helm of Waystar/GoJo.
And we're giving you an HONEST review of The Little Mermaid (Halle Bailey, Melissa McCarthy) and whether you should spend your money on this remake, or wait until it hits Disney+ in a few weeks. (Hint: Just wait!)
And Chris recommends everyone check out the new Foo Fighters single “Show Me How” from their new album, But Here We Are. The single, which incorporates dream-pop and shoegaze elements is the first album since the untimely passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins.
What to watch:
Chan recommends Coop and Cami Ask the World on Disney+
Heather recommends Smartless: On the Road on Max with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett
Chris recommends Star Trek: Prodigy on Paramount+

We are back with season 2 of Brooker Family POPcast after a much-needed break. Between birthdays, Chan's first musical and our anniversary we've been running around like crazy! Now we're back in gear with another episode of BFP.
We're breaking down the WGA strike and explaining to Chan why it's happening and what this means for the entertainment business. Chris and Heather gush over their love of the very talented singer/songwriter Mike Doughty. They highly recommend you check out his new album with Ghost of Vroom.
Heather talks about her interview with Vin Diesel (he's super nice!) and what's keeping the Fast X franchise alive.
And Succession isn't a show for kids, but we are obsessed with it and can't wait for the finale. Well, Chris and Heather can't wait. Channing is watching Jessi on Disney+.

Season 2 of "Rugrats" just dropped on Paramount+ and we are thrilled to welcome the cast! E.G. Daily (Tommy Pickles) and Tara Strong (Dil Pickles) join us to talk about what new adventures are in store for these babies in season 2(no spoilers!)
We’re wrapping up season 1 in style as we recap Chris’ birthday blowout and celebrate Chan’s stage debut in Annie!
Did you know you can buy a Ballet in a Box? We have details on the Redondo Beach company that's offering a full ballet for your community. Chris thinks you all should listen to Liz Phair in Brooker Beats.
And will Nic Cage make a good Dracula? We think so! Renfield opens this week and looks like it will bite you in your funny bone (who writes this stuff?)
We're pumped for the new Peter Pan on Disney+ and have several recommendations of what to watch with your family.

Lets-ago! The Super Mario Bros Movie is breaking box office records and we think we know why. We deep dive into why we think Nintendo, Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures did a great job with this film! And Chris Pratt's Mario was great so everyone can chill out now.
We're also sharing some highlights from the Star Wars Celebration in London including new movies and series coming our way.
Channing talked for way too long about something called "Doors" on Roblox. Seriously, she might still be talking about it.
And Chris tells us why we should all revisit the band Lucious Jackson in Brooker Beats. And he's never wrong!

Reality Life with Kate Casey host Kate Casey drops by BFP to talk about what she's watching these days. And trust us, it's a lot! Kate is a wealth of information when it comes to unscripted television and has recommendations for every platform in every genre. She has one of the top-rated podcasts streaming now and once you hear from her, you'll know why.
Plus, it's Channing's birthday! We're celebrating our 10-year-old with some surprises (we'll reveal them in the next episode!) so don't miss it!
Chris is recommending the 30th anniversary edition of Radiohead's "The Bends." Gen-Xers will already be on board with this one. But if you haven't heard of Radiohead, this is your chance to get to know some of their best work.

Taylor Swift is taking over! Fans are going crazy on social media as her tour makes its way around the country. We're uncovering the truth about Swifties and what other fandoms are equally dedicated to their star.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is finally here and Chris thinks it's getting review bombed. We hope people give it a chance (but we also hope it's not a stinker!)
Channing sort of explains what a Super Moon is and Chris wholeheartedly recommends the new Florence and the Machine cover of No Doubt's "Just a Girl." Listen to find out why!
And we tell you everything we loved about NYC from Wicked to the bagels.

It's spring break and we're planning a big trip to the Big Apple! Chris and Chan reveal their plan to eat street meat and suffer the consequences. Is TikTok long for this world? Not if the government big wigs have anything to say about it. Why are they trying to ban TikTok and who will it impact?
The new Dungeons and Dragons movie has arrived! It looks promising and our nerdy hearts have high hopes.
Heather and Chan are excited about the return of Doogie Kamealoha on Disney+. And Chris is pumped for the final season of Succession on HBO Max. Our little fourth grade something Chansplains Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Brooker Beats digs into the new National album and the new Bono and the Edge Disney + special with David Letterman.

It’s all about the hits and misses of the Oscars, The Cranberries and Ivy & Bean!
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
The 95th Academy Awards gave us all the nostalgic feels! Did you watch? We did! In fact it was Chan's first time watching the Oscars all the way through and she had some interesting thoughts on the winners. We cheered on Everything Everywhere All at Once, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendon Fraser, and Ke Huy Quan. And where the heck were James Cameron and Tom Cruise??? We have thoughts...
Plus we're share our 2024 Oscar predictions (we're that good!)
And you should watch Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Ivy and Bean but skip Smile.
Chris is recommending The Cranberries 30th anniversary release of Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We. Wasn't the 90s the best??
