Off The Break Podcast

Codi, Kyle and Ken discover a new study that majority of audiences want 90 minute movies. They discuss why the 90 minute movie is perfect for theaters, but also ask why audiences spend their money on long movies despite this study's findings? They also have a few choice words to say about Jerry Seinfeld's thoughts on movies in current culture and give new advice on The Fall Guy after it's disappointing opening.

The Fall Guy has a lot to offer for audiences, so could it be possible that this opens bigger than anticipated? Kyle gives his thoughts on the movie and how his audience responded to it. Ken and Kyle also shed light on an upcoming Bleecker Street movie called Ezra, while Codi and Kyle get nerdy about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Ken and Kyle got to see Amazon & MGM's upcoming tennis drama Challengers, and give their two cents on whether it's a playable title for all movie theaters or not. But before that, Codi and Ken give their thoughts on how this year's CinemaCon was. The three hosts also play catch up on how the April box office has been going after missing two weeks. Plus, a debate about what elements are needed to get families to see older kids movies at a theater.

As we get closer to Civil War's April release, questions are rumbling from movie theaters about what to expect from it due to its subject matter. Fortunately, Ken and Kyle got to see the movie early, and discuss what the movie is about and what theaters should expect from it. With Codi back in the studio, the three of them also talk about IMAX planning on showing the opening ceremony of the summer Olympics.

Kyle and Ken hold down the fort for Codi while we is away, so it's up to them to "celebrate" the 5 year anniversary of the Disney-Fox merger. It was also a busy week for the industry as they released 6 new trailers, so Kyle and Ken go over which movies show a lot of promise for the rest of 2024. They also discuss who the potential new buyer is for Paramount Pictures, and Kyle gives his thoughts on the upcoming movies Arcadian and Boy Kills World.

For the first time (in a long time), Codi, Kyle and Ken talk about a very good Oscars show, along with the satisfying results. They also give their two cents on recent comments by the Cinemark CEO on how the industry will shape out in 2025. Plus, they celebrate great results from the first half of March, while giving insights towards the future from releases such as Monkey Man and The Fall Guy.

Now that it's officially been 4 years since America was shut down by the pandemic, Ken creates a new strategy in order to have the podcast hosts put it behind them for good. He, Codi and Kyle discuss the great opening of Dune Part 2, but question why a third movie hasn't been announced yet. Plus, in honor of the Oscars coming this weekend, the OTB Podcast awards come back for its second year with all new categories!

After a rough few months, the hosts of the podcast are over the moon for Dune Part 2 opening this weekend. The three of them bring their predictions for what the opening gross could be, and how things could play out in its entire theatrical run. Codi and Kyle also discuss Lionsgate making a live-action movie of the anime, Naruto, while Ken wishes he could be anywhere else to avoid the nerd talk.

We are just days away from the release of Dune Part 2, which will bring the industry's mood back up after weeks of underwhelming movies. But that doesn't mean everything is perfect, after Kyle and Ken take note of IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) starting to hint at a possible strike. Kyle also gives his thoughts on Drive-Away Dolls and an upcoming April release called Sasquatch Sunset.

Kyle informs Codi and Ken that Regal has been playing less trailers than usual at their theaters, so speculating begins on if other chains will follow.
