Welcome to Saturday Night Popcorn!
Join us on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Popcorn as we delve into the dark corners of superhero mythology with the film “Brightburn.” What happens when a child from another world crash-lands on Earth but instead of becoming a hero, embraces a far more sinister path? We dissect the chilling journey of Brandon Breyer, an extraterrestrial boy raised on Earth who discovers his superpowers and uses them with malevolent intent. From his otherworldly origins to his terrifying transformation, we explore how “Brightburn” subverts the classic superhero narrative and injects it with pure horror. Tune in as we discuss the performances, the horror elements that stand out, and how the film crafts a cautionary tale wrapped in a cape of terror.
Don’t miss our in-depth analysis and find out if “Brightburn” soars high or crashes and burns. It’s all popping on Saturday Night Popcorn!
