Popcorn Podcast unpacks The Roses, Jay Roach’s wickedly sharp reimagining of The War of the Roses, starring Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch together on screen for the first time. We break down how Colman’s free-spirited chef Ivy and Cumberbatch’s ambitious architect Theo go from playful lovers to bitter rivals after careers and egos clash in spectacular fashion. Expect lively debate over whether Colman and Cumberbatch’s chemistry makes them the perfect pairing or the ultimate enemies, and why the painfully funny dinner scene is needed chaos. Whether you’re a die-hard Colman and Cumberbatch fan, nostalgic for the 1989 original, or curious if this modern take is worth your ticket, Popcorn Podcast has your ultimate guide to one of 2025’s most talked-about films.
