An episode about The Princess Diaries?! 😮 SHUT UP!

In this special episode, we are so excited to be joined by radio host, events manager, coffee lover & Port Adelaide supporter - Mary-Anne 'Maz' Maio! We are so grateful to have her on as she was one of the main reasons that this podcast was able to pop into existence! She was formerly the host of Life FM's evening show, The Takeover, in which Daz, Oli & Lilli were recruited, became best friends and were able to form Popcorn Jabber! She now hosts the drive show "Maz For The Drive Home" weekdays from 3-6pm ACST on Life FM.

Maz's chosen film for Popcorn Jabber is the 2001 family/romance film "The Princess Diaries". A childhood film favourite of hers, based on the book series by Meg Cabot.

But before the crew can experience royalty at its finest, they must go into another edition of What's Poppin! Where...

• Daz is eager to discuss the cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday
• Lilli expresses her excitement for the newly released trailer for Tron: Ares
• Oli highlights the trailer for the latest Star Wars series - Tales of the Underworld
• Finally, Lilli saw the latest Snow White live adaption film and shares her thoughts on it. Is it really as terrible as the internet makes it out to be?

The time has come for Daz, Oli, Lilli and special guest Tim to conclude their discussion of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl! What will the crew's rating be for their first ever review of a kids film?

In their conclusion:

• Oli explains why Max is secretly Professor X from the X-Men Series.
• Lilli isn't certain that Max's character stays consistent near the end of this film.
• Tim confesses about a scene in this film that he would re-create in his own pool.

It's time for the Popcorn Jabber crew to finalise their discussion on the film chosen by Bec for our podcast - The Fast and the Furious! At last, we find out what our scores are for the film that started Universal's biggest film franchise!

In this episode:

• We have theories that certain characters are actually working for the other side...
• There's a LOT of long dialogue in this film, but how many of them set off Lilli's monologue's radar?
• We question the morality of this flim, and if it teaches us to root for the 'bad guys'...

In this unique episode of Popcorn Jabber, we are joined by a very special guest who's on a mission to try and convice Daz, Oli & Lilli why the Fast & Furious franchise is one of the BEST of all time!

Our guest is none other than the amazing Bec Spencer, who has been on radio for over twelve years, and has spent the last seven as Life FM's breakfast host. She's also an award-winning wedding cake artist and is known for her fun, charisma and infectious laugh!

Listen now as we first discuss the internet's outrage for Shrek 5's first look during What's Poppin, and of course, if Bec is successfully able to turn the Jabber trio into Fast & Furious fans.
