Disney manages to outdo itself in the box office bomb category with The Lone Ranger, a grand throwback to simpler times that has its charms, but boy did they bet several farms to make it. Ryan and Nathan try to untangle the somewhat ungainly plot with mutant rabbits, ivory gun legs and heart eating cannibals in this week's look at big swings and misses. Thanks for joining us.

The Lone Ranger

The mystery of why Rob Cohen didn't direct the xXx sequel is solved in this week's look at Stealth, another box office failure from the summer of 2005. This one takes some surprising turns as the marketing for this film focused on three things, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel's body and an evil A.I. plane. But only one of those things is as advertised.

xXx: State of the Union

Warner Bros made a steampunk Western about a vengeful Confederate General who wants to use a super weapon to destroy the Yankee Nation and only an especially talented gunslinger hired by President Grant has what it takes to stop him. And then they made it again in Jonah Hex, the spiritual cousin to Wild Wild West that nobody could have anticipated.

Jonah Hex

Was there ever really a chance that we'd get more than one Gods of Egypt film? Was there a strategy that would have sold this bizarre take on Egyptian mythology to the masses and bankrolled a new franchise for Summit Entertainment? Nathan and Ryan discuss this possibility while laying out the pros and cons of Alex Proyas' final gift (so far) to big screen buffs.

Gods of Egypt

Ah, the subjectivity of human experience. Ryan and Nathan have very different takes on this week's box office failure, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, the movie that destroyed director Ron Underwood's career and put Eddie Murphy's career in a position where he needed a comeback. But in what other movie can you see Randy Quaid dual wield pistols in a gunfight on the moon?
