It’s Halloween on Popcorn and Possibilities! Brian and Steph stir the cauldron with their take on the beloved witchy classic Hocus Pocus—is it a nostalgic gem or overrated? Then it’s time to unwrap the best and worst Halloween candy picks (spoiler: some choices may be controversial). Finally, we scream our way through favorite horror movies and iconic characters—from vintage creepers to modern monsters. Grab your popcorn (and maybe a flashlight), this episode is all treats, no tricks. 👻🍬🎥

In this fall-flavored episode of Popcorn & Possibilities, Brian and Steph go full variety hour:

🎩 First, a fizzy face-off: Diet Coke vs. Coke Zero — what’s the real difference, and does it even matter?
🥤 Then it’s time for the age-old question — Is it rude to wear a hat in a restaurant, or are we over it?
🎃 With spooky season in full swing, the duo shares pumpkin preservation tips so your jack-o’-lanterns don’t turn into a moldy mess.

Finally, they settle in for a review of From Dusk Till Dawn — a movie that starts as a heist thriller and ends in full-on vampire mayhem. Is it genius genre-bending or just chaotic?

In this throwback-packed episode of Popcorn & Possibilities, Brian and Steph log on to memory lane. From the golden age of AIM away messages and questionable AOL screennames to the cringey glory of early Facebook and MySpace statuses — we explore how we used to announce our every move to the digital void. We also dive into creative writing courses, how they shaped (or scarred) us, and why they still matter. Then, we take a turn into the woods to revisit The Blair Witch Project, breaking down its genius marketing, raw terror, and Brian’s first reaction to this indie horror legend. Set your away message — we’ll be right back, but this episode is live now.
