123: ‘The Martian’ Box Office Report (10/2 – 10/4)

Paul Harris from KTRS joins us in the Think Tank for this week’s Box Office Report. The Martian took the box office by storm and we talk about how it made its way to the big screen. We also touch on The Walk, Harris’ involvement with Mississippi Grind, and the fact that Joe Pesci has […]

122: ‘Everest’ Starring Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal

We’re talking Everest this week but what do we know about mountains? So we brought in some experts. Brothers Mike & Steve Reardon have been to Everest. “Been to Everest” might be a bit of an understatement. They were making their way up the mountain when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal. And it doesn’t […]

121: ‘Everest’ Box Office Report (9/25 – 9/27)

This week the box office report is fast and furious (the regular kind not the driving kind). Joe talks about doughnut licking (thankfully that’s not a euphemism), we discuss the mechanics of late night talk shows, Pirates of the Caribbean and its rapidly declining quality and Joe’s hatred of Eli Roth.And if this episode feels […]

120: ‘Black Mass’ Starring Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch, Joel Edgerton

This week we tackle Black Mass starting first and foremost with…why the hell is this thing called Black Mass? We also talk about the career of Johnny Depp, how breast implants helped bring down the Winter Hill Gang and Joe reveals just exactly what used to go on in the backroom of Blockbuster. (Hint: Netflix […]

119: ‘Black Mass’ Box Office Report (9/18 – 9/20)

Kevin and Blake are out this week so Colin Jeffery from KTRS joins us. But fear not! Dan has Kevin’s abacus so we forge ahead. We get some new iTunes reviews to discuss (at long last). We also talk about the new Star Wars re-release (which is actually an old Star Wars re-release), the Heroes […]

118: ‘The Visit’ Directed by M. Night Shyamalan

M. Night Shyamalan gives us a low-budget, horror flick with his biggest twist in over a decade…it’s actually a good movie. Or, at least, it doesn’t outright suck. The Visit is weird. It’s quirky. But it (mostly) works. And we’ll explain why. All this plus Joe is imagines naked grandmas where there are none, we […]

117: ‘The Visit’ Box Office Report (9/11 – 9/13)

The Perfect Guy tops the box office. It’s quite possibly a historic moment and we’ll tell you why. We finally figure out what War Room is, Tom & Dan somehow find a way to bring up M*A*S*H again and M. Night Shamaylan is back. But is that good or bad? All that plus could this […]

116: ‘Our Favorite Directors’ Specialty Episode

It’s a slow week at the box office. Not We Are Your Friends slow. But still… So we decided to finally get around to a listener request and discuss our favorite directors. It’s a drama packed episode as Kevin limits who we can choose, Blake steals Joe’s choice, Dan goes artsy, Tom goes old(er) and […]

115: Box Office Report (9/4 – 9/6)

War Room climbs to the top of the box office in its second week of release. Maybe we should figure out just what the hell it is. We get another nice review on iTunes, we mock a listener (lovingly) and just for old time’s sake we make a Paul Walker joke. It’s Reel Spoilers 115: […]

114: ‘We Are Your Friends’ Starring Zac Efron, Wes Bentley, Emily Ratajkowski

America’s love affair with EDM ended before it even began as the film-going public rejected We Are Your Friends like a monkey kidney. Having it star Zac Efron probably didn’t do it any favors in the club-hopping community. The movie scored the 3rd worst wide-release opening in box office history, thereby marking the first time […]
