Box Office Birthday

We knew we should have stayed home today! But instead, Brandon and Megan take a trip to the far reaches of space and indeed, the Event Horizon. But what is an event horizon? And do aliens believe in ghosts (or vice versa)? Should you really be smoking on a spaceship? All this, plus we discuss the Boxcar Children.

Coming Attractions trailers for August 22:

This week, Brandon and Megan are plunged into the mysterious world of Conspiracy Theory. Will Julia Roberts manage to defend her title of America's Sweetheart? Would a cab ride with Mel Gibson be better or worse than a robot car?

We also say goodbye to the Bloomington Herald-Times' film critic, Rocco Versaci. Forever in our hearts, no longer in town.

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger (movie rewatch podcast). Can Brandon and Megan take your order? Or perhaps, interest you in their own fast food burger taste test? If not that, how about an etymology lesson on the word "mondo"?

• Picture Perfect

This week, Brandon and Megan return to the oeuvre of their very first episode: Jackie Chan movies! We watched Operation Condor, also known as Armor of God II, but in the US it's #1 and Armor of God I is #2. Got it? Megan mispronounces and forgets more vocabulary words than usual, and Brandon kind of but not really went to college with Jackie Chan's son!

Coming Attractions trailers for July 25:

• Good Burger
• Air Force One

This week, Megan talks Brandon's ear off because not only did they watch Contact, but Megan read the book too, and she has big feelings! We also answer important questions like, why do so many scientists in movies wear Hawaiian shirts? What sound effect should an alien noise make? Is it okay to use crayons in bed?

Coming Attractions trailers for July 18:

• Nothing to Lose
• George of the Jungle
• Ulee's Gold
• Operation Condor

It's the Fourth of July and Brandon and Megan watched Men in Black. However, we definitely have mixed feelings about the patriotism of a movie that's about a shadowy organization that constantly monitors, harasses, and polices refugees - even if they are aliens from another planet. Abolish ICE!

Coming Attractions trailers for July 11:

• A Simple Wish
• Contact

It's not about hockey, but it could be called Freaky Friday for the boys: this week, Brandon and Megan watched Face/Off! First, we debate which celebrity we'd most like to pilot our plane, but then it's the big question - could you recognize your face . . . off?

Coming Attractions trailers for July 4:

• Out to Sea
• Men in Black
• Wild America
• Love! Valour! Compassion!

Get ready for the Barbenheimer of 1997: MY BEST BAT’S WEDDING. Brandon and Megan couldn’t possibly decide between Batman & Robin and My Best Friend’s Wedding so they watched both! We go on probably too many tangents for trying to accomplish a double feature, but most importantly, Brandon doesn’t know the rules for writing an acrostic poem, but at least his Bane voice is better than Megan’s.

Coming Attractions trailers for June 26:

• Hercules
• Brassed Off!
• Face/Off

Megan hates cruises and Brandon has a real issue with the title, but this week we watched Speed 2: Cruise Control. Go UWM Panthers (of which both Megan and the esteemed Willem Dafoe are alums) and don’t forget to support your local library!

Coming Attractions trailers for June 20:

• My Best Friend's Wedding
• Batman & Robin
• Traveller
