Box Office Birthday

We've made it to the end of 1997 and it's time for the first annual Bobbies, where Brandon and Megan decide on such prestigious awards as America's Sweetheart, Best Animal Actor, and Character We'd Like to Swap Out with Nic Cage. And of course, we crown our favorite movie of 1997!

Finally, stayed tuned for us to announce what year we'll be covering in season 2! We check back in with whencanireusethiscalendar.com to decide, and then pick our first movie for January.

Welcome to the first annual Two Boat Christmas, where we watch two movies that feature boats. This year, Brandon and Megan watched Tomorrow Never Dies (featuring a super special stealth ship) and Titanic (featuring one big boat, and notably, not enough lifeboats). Megan doesn't really recall the plot of the James Bond movie, but Brandon's never even heard of the Britney Spears song about Titanic so it balances out.

Coming Attractions trailers for December 26:

• An American Werewolf in Paris
• The Postman
• As Good As It Gets
• Mr. Magoo
• Jackie Brown

Happy Black Friday! This week, Brandon and Megan watched the perfect movie for that post-Thanksgiving feeling when you're bloating and blobby and maybe a little green from too much pie: Flubber. But most importantly, we talk about the ethical implications of creating a sentient bouncy blob and the importance of the humanities alongside STEM in higher education.
