After too long an absence, Box Office Poison is back with a new episode! This time, we discuss 12 Years a Slave (again), Don Jon, The To Do List, a Boy and His Dog, In the Loop and more! Then, in the second segment, Stan chose Unforgiven as Movie of the Month purely to please someone who wrote in. Did he love it, or did he find the movie boring and trite, a sin he considers... well, you get it.

Hey! You! Person listening/reading/you get the idea! Go to NintendoWorldReport.com on Saturday, November 23rd at 12 Noon Eastern Time to listen to the 4th Annual NWR Telethon to benefit Child's Play, a charity organization that sends toys, games and consoles to sick kids in hospitals. It's a great cause and every cent goes to the right place, so be there! And if we get to $5000, at 9PM Eastern on 11/23, we'll have a special live Box Office Poison segment!

Thanks for listening, guys, and if you have thoughts/questions/concerns, send 'em over to [email protected], Twitter (@crosstawk) and in the comments section on the site. And please please please head over to iTunes to leave us a rating/review. We could really use some more of those.

Thanks for listening, folks!

The boys gets into a fight about Steph Curry's athleticism, Hawkeye's validity as an Avenger, and hold a vigil for WWE's Kassisus Ohno.

It's time for another request episode here on DMP, and this one comes from a listener who thought we should play The Smiths. What a great idea! Jonny and co-host Andy Goergen discover this legendary British band together, as we're both slightly too young and far too American to have latched on the first time around. Lead singer Morrissey has one of those love-it-or-hate-it voices, but there's no denying his talent and dramatic delivery of these sad songs. While the subject matter is often angsty, you'll be carried right along by the upbeat rhythm section and Johnny Marr's fast, flashy guitar licks. Here's the playlist:

1. Big Mouth Strikes Again (The Queen is Dead)

2. Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before (Strangeways, Here We Come)

3. Cemetry Gates (The Queen is Dead)

4. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (Single)

5. This Charming Man (The Smiths)

6. How Soon is Now (Meat is Murder)

7. The Boy With the Thorn in His Side (The Queen is Dead)

8. There is a Light That Never Goes Out (The Queen is Dead)

9. Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want (Single)

10. I Know It's Over (The Queen is Dead)

11. Barbarism Begins at Home (Meat is Murder)

On this episode of Athletic Awareness, Jon Rind and Jesse go head to head in a debate curated by John Cook. Listen to the sparks fly. There is also a very special twist at the end (courtesy of M. Night Shamylan? Or Fritz Lange? FRITZ LANGE???).

Karl, Jonny, Jon, and Stan talk about movies.  Then Stan disappears mysteriously and the gang discusses Jonny's Movie of the Month, Peeping Tom.5

After an unplanned hiatus, we're back from the soggy depths with another provocative episode of DMP. This episode features the return of effusive co-host Taylor Hill, who is eager to bring you into the world of Vampire Weekend. It's an awful name for a great band, and you'll hopefully agree after hearing a few of their complex, snappy, lyrical, African-inspired pop songs. These guys really know how to deal with difficult topics in very catchy songs. Here's the playlist:

1. Diane Young (Modern Vampires of the City)

2. Step (Modern Vampires of the City)

3. White Sky (Contra)

4. Oxford Comma (Vampire Weekend)

5. Diplomat's Son (Contra)

6. Obvious Bicycle (Modern Vampires of the City)

7. Unbelievers(Modern Vampires of the City)

8. Hannah Hunt(Modern Vampires of the City)

9. Walcott (Vampire Weekend)

10. Giving Up the Gun (Contra)

11. M79 (Vampire Weekend)

12. Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa (Vampire Weekend)

Encore:

Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes (Graceland)

The next episode of DMP is already recorded, so we hope to get that out fairly soon to make up the for the long wait. Thanks for listening, and as always, please send in your comments and requests to [email protected]!

This week John Cook makes his stunning return to Athlectic Awarness! He tells us about life in Alabama as well as his defeatist attitude toward Snorlax. The Men of Muscle also discuss Adrian Gonzalez's Mickey Mouse ears, Jim Leyland smoking a Marlboro Red and what to watch out for during the oncoming NBA season. So pull out your PBR keg and fill up your red Solo Cup because it's time for ATHHHHHHHHLETICCCCCCCC AWAAAAAAAARENESSSSSSS!

Jon Cooke is off at a wedding this week so Iron Flab Paul "Brawl" Laier takes over co-hosting duties. This week the boys spend time on the baseball playoffs, analysis of the Florida Gator game, and tackle the meat heads who ruin intermural sports. Sit back and listen during commercials on your football sunday, the holiest of sports days.
