Popcorn Culture - Supercut: High/Low Expectations

Some films - and shows - come with crazy high expectations, whether it's because it's an epic culmination of decades-long buildup (Avengers Assemble, The Rise of Skywalker), the reunion of major stars and directors (De Niro and Pacino, anyone?), or just the latest blockbuster from a serious filmmaker (Oppenheimer). And frankly, sometimes those expectations are met and exceeded - but other times, it just means that they set a tone that simply can't be met. In this episode of Supercut, we break down the ways that expectations affect the way we view things, for better or for worse.
