@boxofficegross.bsky.social

@schmanthonyp.bsky.social and @wormsgreenrealm.bsky.social covering the top fifty highest grossing films of 2006, movies you haven’t thought of in decades for very good reasons https://open.spotify.com/show/30HWgT2vsbVUtgKokSkvNE?si=xQuXGR8QSMSR9EJ9Wj0uHA

Also if you need more, @wormsgreenrealm.bsky.social was on @deadformats.bsky.social this week going crazy talking about DEEP KEVIN SMITH EPHEMERA, an experience I’m very excited to hear about if only because it led to this question being asked in the GC

20 years ago today this deeply strange moment in the career of Kevin Smith dropped and saved me from one of the most miserable and depressing stretches of my life. We did a whole Very Special Episode about it a few months ago! Check it out if you haven’t!

FOLKS! Today we have a SURPRISE BONUS EPISODE of @boxofficegross.bsky.social! @wormsgreenrealm.bsky.social had an opportunity to attend a "stop and start" 20th anniversary screening of CLERKS II with Kevin Smith & Brian O'Halloran, and we had to memorialize it! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

This was a fun time revisiting a movie that's more or less been lost from our collective blockbuster memory for reasons both within and without the film itself.

FOLKS! This week, @boxofficegross.bsky.social WINS THE PULITZER!! We are blessed to welcome the great @kphipps3000.bsky.social on the show to help us encapsulate an absolutely perfect BOG entry: extra cool guy Bryan Singer’s SUPERMAN RETURNS!!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Happy to spoil that we have finally invited @maxrebosroadie.bsky.social on for a movie he would actually want to talk about instead of just swooping in at the last minute TWICE for some dogshit to do us a favor haha

tonight is the one night I am free this week to do prep for @boxofficegross.bsky.social and my roommate has a mutual friend over. I am incredibly glad I could put on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and not…a lot of other movies they have or will cover.

I am NOT ON THIS EPISODE because I was not able to find time to go see a 2 1/2 hour movie I didn't really have any interest in watching, but I have BIG INTEREST in hearing @wormsgreenrealm.bsky.social and Associate Producer Shaun Swayne discuss their experiences with it!!!

Coming Thursday: a gentle whisper in Josh O'Connor's ear says you should "LISTEN" to our fast and loose @boxofficegross.bsky.social bonus episode on Spielberg's new film Disclosure Day!!!

This episode was one of the most fun episodes we've done so far, and I think we did brisk justice for an aerodynamic entry in a series defined by its bloat. Pete is such an excellent guest, and we had a blast, and we hope you do too!!! CHECK IT OUT

Other topics include BETTER LUCK TOMORROW, Lucas Black's rare leading-man accent, the problematic comments section of the Internet Movie Car Database, iPods, flip phones, AOL Instant Messenger, fake stand-in directors for arrests, and the magic of "Bawitdaba".

We discuss all the sliding-doors moments in this series, nearly being released DTV, its highly-criticized lead casting, its DCOM structure, and the pivotal half-jokey casting decision that caused the entire series to distort itself into retroactive temporal fuckery to make its lore fit into place.
