Box Office Pulp

We're in the spoilers game now. But besides "whatever it takes," what do we actually do now in a post-Endgame world? Disney+ shows? Mysterio's Big Adventure? A sequel to The Incredible Hulk? No, the exchange of souls needed for that one would be too great. Ten years have taken us from "We're Iron Mongers, Tony," to "The Staff of The Living Tribunal," from Whiplash's bird, to Killmonger's Oscar nomination, and every stunt-casting in-between. While we mourn the loss of being really, really hyped for Endgame, we also go over what we loved about this ending of a cinematic era (that isn't actually ending), it's surprisingly subtle adaptations of comic scenes famous and obscure, the return to the indie sensibilities that once defined Marvel Studios, how it's themes capture and distill the profound message of Marvel both in print and in film, and, of course, The Red Skull. Mostly we talk about Red Skull. What he's thinking. How he feels. What he tastes like. It's kind of a problem.

You downloading this episode is... inevitable.

Okay, let's try this again: This is BOP n' A Movie, and we're not the only podcast doing a commentary for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse anymore. Not by a long-shot. We are, however, the only one with drink-mixing segments, and that's something! Listen to the pod-slingers discuss this movie's surprisingly deep themes of identity and multiculturalism, its one-of-a-kind animation style, and how it wove together disparate threads from a dozen comic sources to make what may be the perfect superhero movie. Do we still find time to thirst over a cartoon pig? Of course. But what makes us stupid... is what makes us qualified to talk about Spider-Man.

Follow us to the sacred place. No, folks, this ain't a dream, and you can't escape! The moon is full and the air is still, and we are just covered in undead cat hair. Which can only mean one thing... dead really is better. But so is BOP! In this episode, Mike and Cody exhume themselves for a chat on the new adaptation of Stephen King's darkest work: PET SEMETARY. We discuss the impressive changes from the source, how it captures King's themes, some spooktastic atmospheres, and difficulties in translating the book's particular brand of unsettling to the big screen. But, most importantly, we learn that we all could use a little more Wendigo in our lives. Open your hearts, people!

Through these adventures the space time continuum has been mucked up, fixed, mucked up and fixed again! This time though (see what I did there?), there's something far more perilous in store... the grossness of the Old West. THE WATER IS BROWN. But that ew, aside, our BOP 'n A Movie series examining The Back To The Future Trilogy has reached the teased conclusion, and while Part 2 famously dug deep into time travel shenanigans and big sci-fi stakes, the final entry scaled it all back, sticking to a singular adventure and making the stakes personal for our time-displaced heroes in a tale about growth, love, and how Tom Wilson is probably the greatest actor who's ever lived and dammit why don't we talk about that more!? Saddle up, make yourself some Wake-Up Juice, and watch along with us for this feature audio commentary for what is, un-ironically, one of the best Western's ever produced... BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 3!

Nobody calls this podcast chicken! NOBODY! You can call us fashionable, though. What, with our double ties and all. But, enough about neck accessories, our special BOP 'n A Movie series is blasting off into the future, the alternate present, and back to the past, for the next entry in the beloved trilogy -- BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 2! Featuring the first appearance of President Trump. Sigh. But, that unfortunate prediction aside, it also features one of the most interesting uses of time travel in a story, ever... even if it is to it's own detriment. We dig into topics such as production history, the thought process that went into breaking the story, why said story is kind of broken, it's approach to future design, Zemeckis' push to do things totally unique, why you gotta respect Part 2 at the end of the day, and the sad, sad story of replacement George McFly. So, if you got the POWAH - along with a copy of the movie - join us for this feature audio commentary!

Where you're going, you won't need ROADS. But you'll need ears for listening! Download the commentary here!

The BOP Crew are going Higher, Further, AND, dare we say, Faster, in this bite-sized episode where we fanboy and fangirl out over CAPTAIN MARVEL! The first (finally) female-fronted Marvel flick that is allll about that swagger. We discuss the interesting choice of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck as directors and how it paid off huge for the studio, giving us both a rousing space-buddy-adventure throwback and focused character study; Brie Larson's star-making turn in which she pitch perfectly brings Carol Danvers to life; how Ben Mendelsohn is straight up Skrullin; MCU connections; and, of course, we make fun of lame dudes on the internet who review bombed the movie and laugh at their failures.

Once this podcast hits 88mph, you're going to hear some serious sh*t. The Crew have bashed their skulls in and had a vision! A picture in their head! And it's a special BOP 'n A Movie series powered by 1.21 Gigawatts! So, if you've managed to narrowly avoid sleeping with your mother AND narrowly avoided being gunned down by some terrorists you bamboozled, please join us as we set our DeLorean for 1985, 1955, 2015, alternate 1985, and 1885, to provide to you these feature audio commentaries for each of ole' Doc Brown and Marty McFly's adventures! Starting right here with the film that changed a cultural landscape, the Steven Spielberg produced, Robert Zemeckis directed, cinematic classic -- BACK TO THE FUTURE! Exactly how much about the nuts and bolts of this touchstone have we all overlooked? Breaking it all down proves it to be a one movie film school, we discover. From the sheer inventiveness put into it's design, the near cosmic series of coincidences that led to it's lightning strikes clock tower perfection, and how it gifted us a new breed of story and film-making. And the hit Huey Lewis song Power of Love. A GIFT, I say!

There is a director in our midst who operates beyond the confines of genre. His filmography is as vast as space, and as timeless as infinity. He is the middle ground between light and shadow, between history and fantasy, scarf and baseball cap. His blu-rays lay between the pit of your sci-fi collection, and the dusty shelf where you keep an unopened copy of Empire Of The Sun. That's the signpost up ahead, your next stop: the finale to Spielberg Month here on BOP! In this episode, we ponder how one of the greatest living directors can switch between such radically different modes of filmmaking, the surprising ways these tones overlap in his best films, and the subtle connections uniting the stories he's dedicated his life to telling. Plus, in a Box Office Pulp exclusive, we visit a parallel world and discover reviews of Spielberg films he never even made!

Gooooood morning, Neverland! Welcome back to the only podcast that can fly, that can fight, that can even god damn CROW. And if you've managed to find your marbles, you know this is Steven Spielberg Month, which means we've conjured our happiest thought to provide a BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary for what may be his most polarizing picture, 1991s sometimes too-cheesy-for-it's-own-good family classic -- HOOK! Some love it, some despise it, and there's very little in-between. The Crew tries to get to the bottom of why that is, and the answer might cause you to respect Hook a little more, regardless of where you fall. From Spielberg's own complicated thoughts on the finished product, it's long gestation period, how it re-contextualized the tale of Peter Pan without going the deconstructionist route, all to build a unique perspective on aging and parenthood, and not to mention Robin Williams giving one of his most interesting and passed over performances, we do our best to give this equally cherished and reviled flick the once over it demands! But above it all, there's Smee. Yes, yes, Rufio. We know. We love Rufio, too. But SMEE, people!

Open your mouth in wonder while moving in distinct L-shaped patterns, because this is the beginning of Steven Spielberg Month! AKA The Two Faces Of Steve, AKA Spielberg Dead Ahead, AKA a third joke. And we're kicking it off with one of his most stylized and off-kilter films: 2002's Minority Report. While much of the talk today concerns its chillingly accurate predictions of modern technology, the Crew find this to be one of the director's deepest films, and they discuss the political climate that influenced it's tone, the adaptation's meaningful deviations from Philip K. Dick's story, and the lengths Spielberg went to in order to create one of the most iconic futerscapes in film.
