HOUSE OF WAX (1953) Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:00:00 -0500

Flesh crawls! Wax melts! Beneath the mask, is he sculptor or slasher?! BOP rises from the ruins of its humble podcast studio to bring you a BOP n A Movie commentary for André De Toth’s 1953 technicolor classic, House of Wax! AKA “the House of Wax that has less gore but somehow more underwear.” Listen as the crew discuss the role that cemented Vincent Price as a horror star after years of just being a handsome bastard, the challenges De Toth faced shooting the world’s only 3-D movie by a man with one functioning eyeball, the film’s often-forgotten pedigree as a remake meant to take audiences away to a simpler time for horror, and the unforgiving visage of Charles Bronson forever cast in undying clay.

SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 19:13:00 -0500

Holidays in the 2020's just don't hit like they used to. Halloween? Cancelled. Christmas? Stolen. Thanksgiving? You can eat cranberry sauce any day of the week. There's only one celebration that gives us the season for a reason: Big-Ass Pumpkin Day! And this year, a last-minute pivot (damn you to high hell, R.L. Stein) causes the crew to spring a trap on Cody during his favorite day of the year. Join them for a surprise Bop n' A Movie commentary track for Spookley The Square Pumpkin, the harrowing tale of a malformed misfit trapped in a world he never made, spurned by his barnyard brethren until his indoctrination into a brutal Olympiad, his only ally a homunculus torn between loyalties to the opposing worlds of man and nature. A beloved animated classic enjoyed by kids the world over!

Talkin' 90s Horror with CreatorVC's David A. Weiner (In Search of Darkness 1995-99)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 15:00:00 -0500

It’s time to close down your haunted curio shop, grab your anti-teacher assault pencil, and take a trip to the closest madness-mouth, because in this episode the crew welcomes back director David Weiner to the show to talk about his latest entry in CreatorVC’s famous line of genre film documentaries, In Search of Darkness: 1994-1999! Pop this into your Talkboy as they have a fascinating chat on the process of putting together the most ambitious (and lengthy) horror retrospective yet, the decision to split the project into two films, what he thinks made the nineties stand out creatively as horror struggled to find its footing financially, and how the upcoming millennium stirred up old fears in audiences as it slowly introduced them to the scares to come.

WAXWORK Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 21:19:00 -0500

What do wax museums, Twin Peaks, wolf-men, MTV, S&M sex, the Amiga 1000, and the the invisible man have in common, outside of captivating America? Anthony Hickox’s 1988 debut feature, Waxwork! In the newest edition of BOP n’ A Movie’s commentary series on the history of cinematic wax, the crew looks at an entry that may not be the brightest stick on the candelabra, but maybe the most fun. Starring Zach “from Gremlins” Galligan, David “that TGRI Guy” Warner, and Dana “I didn’t kill my girlfriend, Laura Palmer” Ashbrook, this gloriously cheesy Sci-Fi Network favorite uses the museum format to take its cast on a journey through time and space to rival Doctor Who… which is appropriate considering how Warner is dressed. But will Cody survive his latest wax drink? And will they just keep the recorder on while they watch Waxwork II: It’s About Time? Follow the tiny butler and step inside!

Talkin' Cinematic Philosophy with Steven Bernstein (Monster, Like Water for Chocolate, GRQ)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 08:00:00 -0500

In this very special episode of BOP, the crew welcomes one of their biggest guests ever: renowned cinematographer/writer/director/podcaster/beanie historian, Steven Bernstein! Before he realized what podcast he was on and called his agent, we had a lovely chat about his astounding career in show business, what it was like shooting such beloved 90’s comedies as The Waterboy and Half-Baked, filming Monster with Patty Jenkins, how he wound up the favorite DP of the Wayans Bros, his philosophy of embracing the chaos in art and life, and the surreal events that led him to hanging out with Marlon Brando on the set of Scary Movie 2.

THE WAX MASK Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 09:00:00 -0500

Get ready to pour yourself a cocktail, put on an old opera record, and inject yourself with a chemical compound that stretches the bounds of death in a terrifying fusion of science and art, because the crew at Box Office Pulp is back on their wax bullshit with a commentary track for Sergio Stivaletti's Fulci-by-another-name fable, 1997's Wax Mask. The legendary special effects master responsible for the Demons franchise only ever directed a single feature, and this slasher by way of a giallo by way of a Wax Museum mystery has been unfairly forgotten by even the most stalwart horror faithfuls. Listen to the tale of Dario Argento's last boon to a dying frenemy, a museum owner driven by heartbreak to murder and mad science, and a dubbing track that descended into pure, unfiltered Italiano.

So remove your mesh mask to reveal your wax mask to reveal your robot(?) skull by listening now!

Witchy Business: Talking Feminism and the American Witch Film with Payton McCarty-Simas

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 12:04:00 -0500

Get ready to hustle up some bibles, condemn some apostates, and declare that someone IS NO KIN OF YOURS, as tonight the Bop Crew interviews Payton McCarty-Simas, author of That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film. Together they have a fascinating discussion on their favorite witch films, the unique properties of American hysteria, the environmental factors that lead to booms in either witch hunts of witch flicks, why there were so many goddamn warlocks in the eighties, and the explicit fascism of the Veronica Lake vehicle I Married A Witch.

THE WAVES OF MADNESS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 07 May 2025 20:15:00 -0500

Once the most derided type of film adaptation, video game movies have been seeing a renaissance as of late. So what better time to borrow the conventions of a once-derided medium to tell a story all your own? In this Mini-BOP, Mike and Jamie gush about the new film by genre filmmaker Jason Trost, The Waves of Madness, the world’s first side-scrolling motion picture. With a premise that could have outstayed its welcome in minutes, Waves draws you in with its loving pastiche of PS1-era survival horror, and keeps you with a sincere Lovecraftian mystery at sea, with the best monster design we’ve seen all year. You’ll never look at load screen monologues the same way again!

NOSFERATU (2024)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 18:30:00 -0500

Now that Father Time has allowed one more year to pass, and Santa has been banished to his ice prison until next solstice, it's time to visit our favorite memory from this holiday season: Nosferatu, AKK Robert Eggers Presents "This Ain't Dracula: A XXX Symphony of Horror." Stalk the stone paths of turn-of-the-century Germany alongside The BOP Suitors as Lilly Rose-Depp's star-making performance ties together an all-star cast, including Bill Skarsgaard at his most uncanny, Willem Dafoe at his most grave, Nicolas Hoult at his most dandy, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson at his most obsessed with his wife. Along their stroll they'll discuss the appeal of the Nosferatu iteration of familiar vampire lore and how Eggers plays with those expectations, rank the stars of Dracula Cinema by their fashion and sex appeal, and scour forgotten lore to determine how exactly Orlok traveled by boat to a landlocked country.

BEG (2011) Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 07:00:00 -0500

Scoop out the guts, carve out the eyes, scoop out the guts... oh, hello there! Dont mind me, just preparing the family's plus-sized gourd for Big-Ass Pumpkin Day, the only remaining holiday Hallmark hasn't gotten its grubby fingers on! This year's attraction is a slasher movie so you better believe we found it on Tubi, 2011's Beg. Its the provocative story of a small-town cop and his favorite clone batch tracking down a serial killer with a pumpkin on his head, murder on his mind, and... a shifting ethnicity? What? Join the crew for a commentary as murky as the woods this was filmed in, where Tony Todd finds himself entangled in middle-American domestic drama and also a stab man, they spend a bold amount of time discussing sexual awakenings via the Slenderverse, and Cody once again makes an ungodly mess on his desk in the name of spookiness.

BUY A ROUND FOR DET. SHOTGUN CIGAR.

DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 14:36:00 -0500

It is 2006. I am watching Hugh Jackman's last appearance as Wolverine. It is 2017. I am watching Hugh Jackman's last appearance as Wolverine. It is 2024. I am writing a description of the BOP crew's episode on Deadpool & Wolverine, the former's introduction to the MCU, and the latter's last dance with a beloved actor... who are we kidding, he's doing this till he's 90. Does Ryan Reynolds still bring the Van Wilder charm as Marvel's new golden boy, or is it too late for the Multiverse Saga: Now With Less Kang? How does a character often defined by an inferiority complex work as a mouthpiece for a dying era of film? And just how hard did those credits make us cry? Wade wouldn't give you answers, so neither are we.

Hey... remember when Deadpool's caption boxes ended up being Madcap? Wild times!

HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 14:14:49 -0500

With studios less sure how to reach audiences by the day, only one film has the answer to what people truly want: HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS. In the newest movie from Mike Cheslik and the team behind Lake Michigan Monster bring us a new descent into whimsy and madness in a film so ridiculous, we're convinced it stars Cody. Join Mike and Jamie as they talk about this delirious swirl of live action cartoon, silent(ish) movie, harrowing survival tale, XXX-ed jugs ,and 16-bit farming sim (not kidding), HUB might be the most creative movie of the year, the funniest movie were seen in ages, and without a doubt the best movie ever made on the subject of man's battle against mascot suits.

THE EXORCISM

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 12:42:00 -0500

What an excellent day for filming an exorcism. THE Exorcism, in fact! And that's the closest thing to a joke you're getting, because the duo behind The Final Girls is back with another deeply personal-- and far much colder-- look at a young woman connecting with a parent in showbiz. Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin team up with Russell Crowe and a seemingly endless list of character actors to tell the story of a newly-sober man trying to get himself on the right track by taking what could be the role of his career, the priest in a remake of a famous exorcism movie, no matter what demons from his past it may awaken. Unable to win respect at home or on set, dodging a well-intentioned holy man, a director more interested in getting a rise out of him than his acting, and an alleged "curse" that's already claimed one actor, it's the perfect environment for a man to lose himself... or be found.

Millennial Nasties + TERRIFIER 1&2 with Ariel Powers-Schaub

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 01 Jun 2024 12:00:00 -0500

They're on the screens! They're in your home! They SHOULD be on your mind! Extreme cinema, exploitation, video nasties, whatever you call them, they take theaters by storm once every generation, and tonight we're wringing this moral panic for all it's worth! With the help of returning guest Ariel Powers-Schaub, the BOP Crew charts how the films detailed in her new book Millennial Nasties took inspiration from the gross-out cinema of the eighties to define the torture porn of the 2000's, before a chat about how those boundary-pushing themes are alive in the current king of modern nasties, Terrifier 2. Tangents along the way include Film Theory: Art The Clown Edition, a brief meeting of the May Canady Appreciation Society, and the secret origin of The Sham Wow Guy.

Millennial Nasties can be pre-ordered directly from Encyclopocalypse in eBook and Print at www.encyclopocalypse.com (BuyHorrorBooks.com) On on September 17th, 2024 it will also be available from your favorite bookseller. The audiobook version will be available exclusively from Audible or Apple Books.

Surprise test, hothead! Just when the BOP crew thought they could enjoy some much-needed R&R, they're pulled away from their vacation to stop a madman threatening to destroy everything we hold dear: their co-host! Welcome to SPEEDARDY, the game show where the velocity is made up and the pedestrians don't matter, organized by Quizmaster Cody to test the limits of his friends' knowledge of the Jan de Bont crowd-pleaser... if only they had actually watched the movie beforehand. Will Mike get the girl, or will it be Jamie who discovers how few relationships based on intense experiences ever work out? Will we learn why Willem Dafoe needs a bathtub of leeches to fight off his Computer Sickness? Will ANY of this actually circle back to the 1994 blockbuster Speed?! Probably not.

SAW X Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 13:00:00 -0500

With the Oscars behind us, many are taking a second look at the remarkable stories from last year that have been tragically overlooked by the academy. Tonight, Box Office Pulp would like to spotlight one such story, that of a humble engineer who forgot to cherish the little things, until a surprise diagnosis introduced him to a new hobby, a new gal, and a new lease on life. Before he can finish his life's work, though, he must rail against an uncaring medical system and stop the exploitative business practices of a corrupt institution, or else this will be one jigsaw puzzle left unsolved! In their final BOP n' A Movie audio commentary track on the series-- until next year, sat least-- the crew have finally reached Saw X, the John/Amanda reunion America didn't know it wanted. Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith are back in the playhouse, the script is free to set up absolutely nothing for a sequel, and there's an actual budget this time around, so does the THIRD return of a franchise that doesn't believe in letting itself die finally recapture the gruesome magic fans have been longing for since the original trilogy? If the words "we have a rope" mean anything to you, then you already know the answer!

SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 12:00:00 -0500

Tonight the C in ACAB stands for Chris Rock, as we take a look at the delayed, maligned, and overlooked soft reboot of the Saw franchise... no, the other one, 2021's Spiral: From The Book of SAW! In this Bop n' A Movie commentary track, we travel back to a time of chaos and uncertainty, where America was terrified by police brutality and the indoctrination of its youth into violent ideologies by charismatic extremists-- thank God that's over. It was a time when the horror community was shocked not just by another comedian entering the game, but by Darren Lynn Bousman's return to the series after seemingly cutting ties with Lionsgate, and the anticipated film missing its release due to a trivial complication like a global pandemic. Seen as a disappointment and forgotten by a series that keeps everything, did we miss out on a bold return to Saw's pulp roots, or does it deserve to be buried along with Jigsaw? The movie, you know, not the... well, I guess him, too.

JIGSAW Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 17 Feb 2024 16:14:00 -0500

A BOP n' A Movie commentary track? But that podcast has been dead for ten years! The only explanation can be that there's a copycat on the loose, and it's set its sights on the most vulnerable member of the Saw family: 2017's forgotten soft reboot, Jigsaw! Crank up the Roy Orbison and grab your favorite bucket, as persons unknown revisit Lionsgate's first attempt to resurrect a dead horse, but is the only entry from The Brothers Spierig the return to simplicity they wanted? Filled with new characters, time jumps, fan sites, retcons, and more expendable detectives than you can shake a Tapp at, can one of the men who gave us Good Luck Chuck create an apprentice who will finally make John Kramer proud? Step inside the ol' Tuck Ranch and we'll have a look...

SAW VII (3D): THE FINAL CHAPTER Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 27 Jan 2024 16:02:00 -0500

We can't say the man didn't warn us it would get bloody. Unfortunately, our plunge into America's favorite amputation-based horror franchise has brought us to this BOP n' A Tragedy commentary for Saw 7, AKA Saw 3D, AKA Saw 33⅓: The Final Insult. Opening with Jigsaw saying the name "Brad" and going downhill from there, this attempt to squeeze a few more drops of blood out of the Hoffman saga killed the franchise as we knew it, with poorly utilized 3D, a threadbare script, and a style that screams "the director only participated under threat of lawsuit." Is there anything to love about the last dance of Mark and Jill, or was too much lost in the attempt to blend two very different movies together in one hastily-constructed finale? Was finally pulling the pin on Cary Elwes worth it? Is The Final Chapter a glass coffin constructed by its own producers? Will a flashback ever reveal why John Kramer wears is hat that way? In Saw fashion, we may or may not answer any of these questions!

The Humbugs of Cinema: A Christmas Carol(s) Retrospective

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 12:24:00 -0500

Old Box Office Pulp was better than its word. It returned to the well of Dickens yet again that December, to spend another holiday discussing where the adaptations of A Christmas Carol fell on the gravy-grave scale. They ranked the various Scrooges, Fezzywigs, Marleys, and infinitely more; and to Cody, who did NOT die of alcohol poisoning last commentary, there was much introspection on the logistics of employing a street urchin, the bizarre phenomenon of Scrooge Action Scenes, why Albert Finney decided to go Full Witch, whether London bookie Eddie Scrooge ever beat that murder rap, and whether the miser truly ever had become as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the movies always said. And so, as BOP Guy once observed, "Box Office Pulp hasn't felt holiday cheer since he licked a car battery and was legally dead for thirty seconds!"

SAW VI Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0500

Like a good neighbor, cherish your life! Terrible jingle for an insurance company, but perfect for our purposes, as tonight we've gathered to milk John Kramer for every last ounce of gratitude his corpse has to offer, with this BOP n' A Movie Commentary for SAW 6! At the end of the 'Jigsaw's Last Will Trilogy' (we're naming just now), our story finds Hoffman's world crashing down around him as the Billy-slain return from the dead, janitors battle their corporate overlords for lung supremacy, and the final convoluted pieces of John's plan fall into place. Listen as we talk Tobin Bell playing the proud papa, the shift in quality from the detective-half to the game-portion, the ascension of go-to Saw director Kevin Greutert, the even higher ascension of Lionsgate's producers, the reality show whose grand prize was sharing the screen with Costas Mandylore, and Amanda's revenge from beyond the grave. Sort of. After the credits.

SAW V Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 14:00:00 -0500

If you're reading this, then you've finally found what you've been looking for. But is the discovery of our podcast enough? Or will your insatiable hunger for Saw films push you deeper into the abyss? Heed my warning: do not listen to this Bop n' A Movie commentary on Saw V. As your hosts watch Costas Mandylor be horror's worst cop since Matt Cordell, they discuss the lows and highs of the post-Jigsaw era, how first-time director and former cinemaSAWgrapher David Hackl handled the transition away from the Wan/Bouseman style, the push and pull between creatives and executives with notes that would go on to define the series, and just how many ways you can fail to make a torture-chamber interesting. Just listen before Det. Straum stabs him-- oh, there he goes again. Don't look, it'll just encourage him...

SAW IV Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0500

You think our series ends just because the newest Saw movie is out? The commentaries have only begun! In our latest BOP n' A Movie, we continue our look at horror's most complicated continuity... outside of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead, Demons... you know what, forget we said anything. In Saw IV, repo man Darren Lynn Bouseman wraps his original streak as director with a tale of origins, autopsies, and doors that should never be walked through quickly. Listen as the crew discuss the last time Saw truly looked like Saw, the missing pieces of the life of John Kramer that are laid down with mixed results, maybe the best prop corpse in movie history the rise of Hoffman, the fall of Hoffman, the Straum School of Witness Interrogation, and the original script that would've had Donnie Wahlberg stand on EVEN MORE than a block of ice.

Talking THE WELL with Federico Zampaglione

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 11:00:00 -0500

Is restoring a classic painting ever worth it? According to horror movies the answer is resoundingly "no," as you can plainly see in acclaimed director Federico Zampaglione's newest festival hit, "The Well!" Zampaglione (@Tiromancino) was kind enough to join us and talk about his love letter to the Italian cinema that shaped him, how he married a slow-burn psychological descent with shocking moments of brutality, the fortune of casting Lauren LaVera just as Terrifier fans christened her horror royalty, and working with his own daughter to produce one of the most haunting performances from a child actor in a while.

SAW III Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 14:11:00 -0500

Editor's Note: Mike's audio was borked and did our best to do a Lazarus on it and save the commentary. Will be jarring at first but hope we got it listenable for you. Our apologies!

With Saw X currently gouging up the theaters, we continue our ongoing social experiment against the moral integrity of Cody's liver, BOP n' A Movie! This edition's reading from The Book of BOP brings us to Saw III, Darren Lynn Bousman's sophomore turn in the director's chair and Leigh Whannell's final word on Jigsaw and all his animal friends. Avoiding the franchise's most miscast leading man at all costs, the crew discuss the surprising tenderness and hilarious cruelty of Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith as horror's homicidal Batman & Robin. Containing perhaps the highest quantity of actors too good for the third entry in a Lionsgate franchise, does this end of the original era work as the finale to a trilogy, or is it just another link in the chain? And just how much footage did they shoot of Amanda wrecking people's shit? Swallow this tiny cassette drowned in Malort and find out!

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 10:00:00 -0500

Just when you thought it was safe to crack open a gourd, scoop out its insides, and carve your choice of expression into its helpless flesh, Big-Ass Pumpkin Day is here again! The BOP mantra has always been "when all else fails, do quality," so this year we're partying along with 2018's way-better-than-it-has-to-be The House With A Clock In Its Walls. The pumpkin juice is flowing and the Malort is conspicuously absent as we talk about this modern kid's classic directed by absolutely no one at all, hitting on the film's amazing cinematography by an industry legend, the book's heavier percentage of Axe Murderer Content, the fragile balance between jokes for kids and jokes for everyone, and the oeuvre of Jack Black's many beards. We also make fun of Eli Roth for about four minutes straight, this IS BAPD after all.

SAW II (Unrated) Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 12:00:00 -0500

Xavier did nothing wrong! And now that we've got your attention, welcome to the second installment of Saw n' A Movie, the commentary series that was in the safe the whole time. Spoilers. Join us as we discuss Saw II, first-time director Darren Lynn Bousman's inaugural dip into the needle-pit that would shape the franchise to this very day, and the first time America heard Tobin Bell lecture us about time management. We talk the brilliant set-design, the balancing act between traps and story the other films would struggle with, the return of Shawnee Smith as the world's first reverse-Scream Queen, and the beginnings of The Curse of Bouseman. Meanwhile, Cody continues his quest to slowly poison himself with Malort like he's the mom from Flowers In The Attic.

SAW Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 14:36:00 -0500

Hello, listeners. We'd like to play a commentary. If it's [MONTH TAPE IS BEING PLAYED], it must be BOP! And tonight, the crew is untangling the first knot in the increasingly convoluted horror juggernaut that is SAW, in the first of a new BOP n' A Movie commentary series! The Elwes are screaming and the Malort is flowing as they discuss the very first James Wan and Leigh Whannell joint, the ingenious filmmaking cheats that allowed an inexperienced production to both surpass expectations and accidentally create an era-defining style, the immediate pop culture royal treatment the nearly DTV film received, how the influx of Saw-alikes changed perception of the original, and how Tobin Bell getting off that floor is still shocking every goddamn time-- Spoilers. Now be a mensch and rewind that tape for the next guy, cool?

MAD HEIDI - Mini BOP

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 19:47:00 -0500

Swissploitation! The genre you never knew you needed or knew existed. Mainly because it didn't until this very moment! In this bite sized BOP, Mike takes a cheese grater to the mad auspices of Casper Van Dien as THE PRESIDENT OF SWITZERLAND. The greatest credit in human history. Anyway, MAD HEIDI, the pure crowdfunded indie that picked up major lactose-related steam this year and is out now on VOD and blu-ray! A blood gushing and Grindhouse dirty parody of the classic swiss tale of Heidi built for the Psycho Goreman loving crowd that left Mike in curdles of ecstasy.

SHIN ULTRAMAN - Mini BOP

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 19:50:00 -0500

Time to get huge! The podcast goes tokusatsu as we check out Shinji Higuchi and Hideaki Anno’s back to basics reimagining of a beloved icon first debuting in 1966, and the next entry in Anno’s ‘Shin Japan Heroes Universe’, the kaiju slayer himself: SHIN ULTRAMAN. The Crew gets into what sets this apart from other ‘Shin’ entries, the way Anno injects beauty into the absurd, how this is the best Miracleman adaptation we never got, and the sad fact that every culture can identify with incompetent governments being self serving!

SUPER MARIO BROS. (1993) Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 12:00:00 -0500

Nothing is impossible, listeners. Improbable? Unlikely? Sure, but never impossible. If you need any more proof, just look at the new Nintendo movie that hit theaters this week, something fans thought they'd never see again after the subject of this BOP n' A Tragedy audio commentary, 1993's Super Mario Bros! You're heard the jokes, the brutal behind-the-scenes stories, and the lamentations of Leguizamo, but the BOP Crew (okay, mostly Jamie) aren't content with leaving the first video game movie on the scrapheap. Between the eight (!) scripts that slowly mutated a fantasy comedy into a cyberpunk thriller-- then tried to walk it back at the last minute, the truly stellar makeup and animatronic work, a cast no version of this movie deserved, and an unforgettable cityscape that rivals the best sci-fi worlds of the 90's, there's plenty more to this bob-omb than you've been led to believe, and if Cody can avoid dying from fungal poisoning before the end of the commentary, you might hear it all! So grab your THWOMP boots, cover up your framed photo of Bob Hoskins, and get ready to trust mushrooms with your mortal soul, because Box Office Pulp is here to walk the dinosaur... whatever it is that means.

SCREAM 6

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 18:09:00 -0500

Ghostface and BOP are back, baby! After their respective hiatuses, one is here to talk about movies and the other to cut a bloody swath through New York City. We'll let you decide which is which. Regardless, The Core Four are back on the silver screen with a new masked slasher to contend with, and Mike and Cody get to gab about what may be one of their new favorite entries in the Scream franchise! Mostly importantly, though, they get to loudly declare "Kirby Lives!" with righteous indignation. So how does the sixth installment fare without series lead Sidney Prescott? What larger thesis is the film presenting? Is this the New York set slasher we've long dreamed of? All this and updates on Stu Watch 2023 in this very episode!

The Gastro Horror of THE MENU with Spooky Sarah Says

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 12:00:00 -0500

On this special Thanksgiving episode, Box Office Pastries treats you to an expertly crafted culinary experience that will leave your earbuds raving! We welcome to our kitchen guest sous-chef Sarah Stubbs of Geeks Who Eat, who has prepared an appetizer of sinful cuisine confessions. Next comes the main course, a delightful desiccation of Mark Mylod's delectable horror debut, The Menu. Our love for this satire of class, pretention, and the disregard for labor is apparent in every savory bite -- and don't you dare ask for ketchup! Next up comes the dessert, as Sarah bakes a love letter to gastro-horror, a subgenre whose entries number in the hundreds, some of them even good! Finally, once you've finished we will provide a take-home box, colloquially known as a "dog's bag," filled with after-dinner discourse on the finer points of fine dining, and the poorer points of poor punmanship. Enjoy, and we implore you, take all you want, but please eat what you take.

Found Footage (Tape 2) with Ariel Powers-Schaub

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 13:00:00 -0500

Tonight, in front of an audience of millions, the crew of Box Office Pulp will attempt something heretofore unseen on the internet! With nothing but a six-pack and our recording equipment, we are attempting to make content with "Ariel," a Midwestern cryptid known for appearing to strangers in the mist and recommending obscure found footage films. At great personal peril, we will attempt to record her feelings on the changes in technology the sub-genre has seen in recent years, the surprising appearance of found footage franchises, the many layers of reality a mockumentary can play with, why The Last Broadcast is best enjoyed by traveling back to the 2000's, and what is to be made of this "Art The Clown" business sweeping America. If this goes right, the podcasting world will never be the same! If not, we recorded a cool guest episode before being discovered in pieces. Either way, we're trending!

Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 13:00:00 -0500

Looks like the BOP Crew has solved another mystery, and the culprit is... Old Man Zaslav?! Of course, he wanted to scare everyone away so he could look for those antique coins buried under the old Warner Bros. backlot! Well, with Hollywood saved, let's head on down to Coolsville, throw on our pumpkin suits, and celebrate with a BOP n' A Movie commentary for the hungry dog's latest-- Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! For the second year in a row, a DTV Scooby-Doo movie is shocking high-quality, with jokes that would be at home on Venture Bros, the best animation the long-running series has ever seen, and a historic first in Coco Diablo: Villainess, fashion designer, and... canon love interest for Velma? Did James Gunn write this? All this and awkward shaving talk, just in time for the spookiest month of the year, November! Seriously, read a history book, Thanksgiving is horrifying, kids.

HALLOWEEN ENDS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 29 Oct 2022 12:00:00 -0500

Fourty-four years ago, convicted murderer Michael Myers escaped from Smith Grove Sanitarium, and upon returning to his home town of Haddonfield, Illinois, committed five murders that would transform horror cinema forever. But those murders would also transform the town of Haddonfield, scarring its people with every new massacre, while an evil far more sinister than a man with a knife boiled beneath its surface. With Halloween Ends, David Gordon Green and co. wrap up both their sequel trilogy and the story of Laurie Strode with a movie nobody saw coming, and the horror community is having all kinds of feels about it. Join us as we discuss the good, bad, and weird of the most polarizing franchise movie since... the last big franchise movie, whether or not Michael is actually a car, and where the legend of The Shape can go when the corpse of this series is eventually unearthed to terrorize a new generation.

Talking SCORED TO DEATH with J. Blake Fichera

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 19:05:00 -0500

From the Ki Ki Ki's to the Dance Macabres, scores have been an essential part of the horror landscape since the days of Nosferatu. So why is the composer so often overlooked when we share our love for these classics? On this episode we welcome to the show author and podcast host J. Blake Fichera, here to talk about his new book Scored To Death 2, his second round of interviews with the Masters Of Scorror (We're sorry, Blake). In a lovely chat, we pick his brain on the scores that influenced both him and Hollywood, the role of the score in all genres of filmmaking, and his desire to spotlight composers big and small, with everyone from John Carpenter to Jay Chattaway.

PUMPKINHOLE Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 14:06:00 -0500

Parents, lock up your children! Farmers, lock up your gourds! It's the time of year when mischief is in the air and danger is in Cody's wine glass, Big-Ass (Big-Ass) Pumpkin Day! And what better way to celebrate being halfway-to-Halloween than with our feature commentary for 2022's Pumpkinhole! Rather than a schlocky spookfest, or an October concert film capturing the 90's grunge band Hole, we've instead found a chilling, surreal exploration of guilt and madness. Look, it had a funny name, okay! Grab an age-appropriate beverage as we discuss the breakdown of the sacred Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas truce, the perils of making your film's central motif a spinning pumpkin, and once again wonder why movies just aren't thirsty anymore. Just how desperate can we sound in our own theme song? To find out, grab a big rock from the side of the road, and walk with us into the far depths of the Pumpkinhole...

Mini BOP: DARK GLASSES

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 18:24:00 -0500

Just when you thought it was safe to walk the darkened streets of Italy with a bare throat, Dario Argento is BACK! And he's sporting gloved hands and a killer pair of DARK GLASSES. Which, of course, happens to be the name of his new movie in a very, very long time. Even longer if you don't want to count his last movie as a movie. But, thanks to Shudder, we get a chance to see the legend return to his simplistic giallo roots and ring in the month of October the right way. How does this newest tale of murder fare against his many classics? Is it a return to form? Can we all just pretend Dracula 3D didn't happen? All this and more answered by yours Ghoul-y, Mike!

Mini BOP: A TASTE OF BLOOD

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 11:00:00 -0500

We all consider the possibility our parents are vampires, but do we have the guts to actually go through with the staking? Mike ponders this question, along with pondering the fangerific (sorry) new horror movie from Argentina, A TASTE OF BLOOD, coming at us from writer-director Santiago Fernandez Calvete and loosely based on A.K. Tolstoy's The Family Of The Vourdalak. With unique alterations on vampire mythology and an intimate story of paranoia and familial breakdowns, how does A TASTE OF BLOOD fit into the long and proud lineage of bloodsucker cinema?

THE BLACK PHONE

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 30 Jul 2022 12:00:00 -0500

From the ashes of a Raimi-less Doctor Strange sequel from another multiverse comes Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill's exemplary adaptation of Joe Hill's THE BLACK PHONE, which gifts us a new horror icon in Ethan Hawke's THE GRABBER and some of the best child performances since IT! Cody and Mike ring up some ghosts themselves to dive into the 70s trappings, heady themes, the ways Derrickson and Cargill expand and improve the short tale, and for some reason debate whether or not the LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT remake should have included the chainsaw massacre or not.

RONDO AND BOB with Director Joe O'Connell

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 14:35:00 -0500

Robert Burns is searching for Rondo Hatton and the new documentary, years in the making, aims to capture the near spiritual quest by the famed art director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Tourist Trap, and many others! Director and lauded journalist Joe M. O'Connell pieced together this previously unknown personal tale in the annals of horror history through reenactments, interviews with family, friends, the likes of Tobe Hooper, Dee Wallace, Joe Bob Briggs, and much more. We sit down with Joe to discuss the impact of the film, the long making-of process, meeting Bob Burns himself before his untimely passing, guerilla filmmaking at its finest, and get down to why this story needed to be told about the intersecting lives of these two faces of horror. RONDO AND BOB is streaming via Electric Entertainment on all platforms.

Mini BOP - X

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 02 May 2022 15:33:00 -0500

After toiling in the lucrative salt mines of television for the last few years, Ti West has returned to film with his most unique-- and haunting-- film yet, with the A24-produced geezersploitation slasher X. Listen as Cody and Jamie discuss how well West's slow-burn approach to horror fits this tale of a 70's porno shoot gone wrong, the star-making double performance from Mia Goth, and just how terrifying the elderly truly are despite years of Cocoon propaganda.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 26 Mar 2022 15:29:00 -0500

The modern world getting you down? Like 99% of Earthlings, you're probably suffering from a chronic condition known as "today," and the only known treatment is to lose yourself in the tomorrows of yesterday! Thankfully, CreatorVC has got you covered with the latest entry in their series of 80's genre retrospectives, In Search Of Tomorrow! Featuring interviews with industry legends like Clancy Brown, Paul Verhoeven, and Joe Dante, as well as a diverse range of journalists, actors, and super-fans, Tomorrow provides much more than your average highlight real. But are the hours of interviews worth the price-tag, when the sci-fi world has already been covered in such detail? The obvious answer is "yes," but the BOP Crew is here to reassure you anyway with their review!

TO THE BOX OFFICE PULP SUBSCRIBERS. From your favorite podcasters. Who? Haven't a clue. Sit down with your Batzonie and let us review. The time has come for the world's only good billionaire to get a fresh start, but after a decade of full-on Batmania, is it possible to give us a truly fresh take on one of the longest-running characters in American fiction? Listen as the BOP Crew discuss The Batman, Matt Reeves' three-hour love letter to Gotham City that sets out to plumb every unexplored depth this world has. Along the way they dissect Robert Pattinson's surprisingly nuanced take on a role not known for subtlety, chart the meteoric rise of Oz Cobblepot, ponder the ethics of observing Zoe Kravitz, mishear Nirvana lyrics, and nerd-out about the one Batman movie they never thought could get made.

Mini BOP - THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN: MAKING DUNE

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 13:14:00 -0500

From the darkness of De Laurentiis, the author longs to see. One shoots out in Mexico City, space fetus walk with me. Streaming exclusively on Arrow Video comes The Sleeper Must Awaken: Making Dune, and Mike n' Jamie are here to talk about the documentary the whole seitch has been waiting for! With attention on the recent adaptation, many have revisited the first attempt to bring Arrakis to life (the first to make it to screen, at least). A critical and commercial disaster, the movie is remembered mostly for burning David Lynch on the Hollywood system and setting him down a stranger, owl-strewn path. But this doc shows just how much love and innovation went into a film deemed impossible, and even the most jaded Dune Dude might find themselves looking at the desert planet with a fresh wonder. Not to mention more gimp-suit content than you can shake an Everett McGill at!

DUNE (2021) Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 16:38:00 -0500

As they say on Salusa Secundus, Cody's dreams are messages from the derp. *insert horrible god language* And if any of that nonsense sounded familiar, then boy do we have three hours for you! Damn your own personal spice as you join Baron Cody Drinkonnen, Michael'Dib, and Euphoria's Zendaya as Jami, while they record a BOP n' A Movie thought unrecordable on the film thought unfilmable! Battling public apathy, a pandemic, and production woes longer than most cast members have been alive, Denis Villeneuve's Frank Herbert's Dune: Part One had no reason to be the surprise hit it was, and the crew spend this commentary discussing the ways this story of political corruption, environmental disorder, and an existing order crumbling under the weight of insurrection just might have struck a cord witb people! Along their journey through the desert they touch on the ground-breaking effects work, the polarizing sex appeal of the Kwisatz Haderach, and Duncan Idaho cuckolding the Tyrant God of Arrakis.

THE BLACK CAT (1934) Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 15:15:00 -0500

Hjalmar Poelzig thought he had it all: the career, the house, the wife. Then, a face from the past came through his door: Vitus, a widowed psychiatrist who thought he'd lost his last chance at love. With a visit from the boss right around the corner, Hjalmar can't afford any mishaps, but Vitus, a pair of amorous newlyweds, and a meddlesome cat have other plans! Join the BOP Crew this Valentine's Day as they deliver a commentary track for the outrageous pre-code romance, Universal's The Black Cat. Set in a backdrop of war and intrigue, featuring the first pairing of the Hanks and Ryan of the 30's, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, this hour-long goth rollercoaster is jam-packed with everything you could want from old Hollywood. Listen to the BOPolytes dig deep into the expressionist set design, the career-highlight performances from two horror heavies, the whitest man alive, all before falling victim to the sex appeal of a shirtless, satanic Karloff.

Ring. Ring. What’s your favorite scary movie? If the answer isn’t an entry in the SCREAM franchise, then we don’t want you to live anyway! It’s been years since the last entry and we have since lost the legendary Wes Craven, but the incredible talents known as RADIO SILENCE concocted a legacy requel/sequel/satire that not only honored the maestro, but carried on his and Kevin Williamson’s influence. Mike and Cody stab their way through the newest tale of Woodsboro’s infamous Ghostface killa, SCREAM (5)!

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 14:54:00 -0500

Face front and queue up your Bully Maguire memes, true subscribers! In an uncertain world, one of life's few guarantees is a new Spider-Man movie, and it's getting increasingly hard to separate that character from the vast legacy behind him. Thankfully, pop culture's recent obsession with the multiverse (of madness!) has given Peter Parker another opportunity to confront his greatest nemesis: Peter Parker! And also the Green Goblin. Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home bites off more than any film should be able to chew, with Spidey facing the fallout of Mysterio's final dick move, a perilous team-up with Doctor Strange, a gauntlet against the dimension-hopping Sinister Six-Minus-One, and a serious case of space envy from his peers. And the Green Goblin's there. How can a movie stand as a sequel to ELEVEN films, across multiple generations, and still carve out its own unique place in the mythology? Because anything is possible in a universe that contains Willem Dafoe.

THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 14:06:00 -0500

2021 was dead, to begin with. Dead as a doornail. And to lay it to rest, we've embarked on a most joyous recording: a commentary track for the beloved The Muppet Christmas Carol, cherished by many a soul as the best adaptation since Charles Dickens first put quill to parchment. Our brothers in felt's first outing after the death of Jim Henson, this holiday classic boasts career-highlight performances from Michael Caine, Steve Whitmire, and Rizzo The Rat as Himself. But did it hold a candle to the Scrooge chronicles before and after? And would the BOP Crew be able to reflect on childhood nostalgia, Muppet politics, and the evergreen social relevance of the story before the brisk runtime was at an end? If you can step over the beer bottles Cody is dragging behind him, sit an evening with us and we'll tell you the tale!

The magic of the cinema experience!

THIRTEEN GHOSTS Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 31 Oct 2021 12:00:00 -0500

Cheers from beyond the grave, folks! William S. Castle, Jr. here, warning you of the latest advancement in spook technology destined to turn the podCastle world upside-down! You may THINK you've seen the 2001 remake of my beloved Thir13en Ghosts, but you can't call yourself a cinephile until you've experienced it in COMMENT-O-SCOPE. Do you dare listen to this BOP n' A Tragedy commentary track, as your thr3e hosts explore their love/hate/love relationship with Scott Beck's disorienting cult classic? Some say this haunted house ride of a film paved the road that Dark Castle and others would follow for a decade, but can YOU walk the same path, dodging knife-wielding beauties, plus-sized babies, and spasming Matthew Lillards? The faint of heart need not worry, though, if the secrets of the Black Zodiac are too much for you, just press the "PANIC" button on your seat, and you'll be escorted to our NPR Corner, where you can listen to harmless shows more befitting a... well, I'M not going to say it! Now where is that skeleton waiter with my vodka and boo-bon?

Crisis on Infinite Nights He Came Home: The Many Timelines of Michael Myers

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 14:21:00 -0500

Death has come to our little podcast. We can either ignore it, confront it, or choose our own version to stare down as we shout SIX TIMES! at it. For this episode, we discuss the night HE came home... or is it the night HE continued being home? Or, wait, was it the night HE came home ten years later? Twenty years later? FORTY years later? Resurrected? Out to return? For revenge? Quite frankly, we're not sure what’s going on with serial slasher and mechanic coverall enthusiast Michael Myers of the famed HALLOWEEN franchise, but we're putting our best tan trench coats on and figuring it out, tackling the many differing timelines of the horror series and what’s unique and occasionally broken about each!

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 12:00:00 -0500

It seems we’re entitled to yet another good scare as The BOP Crew forms a mob to discuss the latest entry in Michael Myers’ Life Story. No, not the old life story, the new life story. As one of the most divisive sequels in the franchise slashes cinema and streaming screens everywhere, we tackle heady spoiler territory, the deeper themes at play, what it adds to Michael and the ramifications thereof, plus why the discourse might be so controversial. All in all we discover, once and for all, that yes indeed... HALLOWEEN KILLS.

Mini BOP - SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 13:51:00 -0500

It's time to scream the lyrics to Hotel California incoherently at some Razor Fisted assassins, because the BOP Crew is harnessing the power of magical microphones found in a cave thousands of years ago in order to gush about Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings! The kung-fu/superhero/fantasy we didn't know we always wanted. Simu Liu, Tony Leung, and Still Going By Awkwafina round out Marvel Studio's best cast in years, but are they given the screen time they deserve, or is this a roster of Koraths and Malakeths? And is there anything at all to Death Dealer besides the cool mask? What's pulled from the 70s comics and what's been left on the problematic curb? You'll find out the answers at our side, dear listener. Oh, thank God you're real.

Mini BOP - MALIGNANT

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 17:59:00 -0500

You've been a bad listener. Don't ask why, you know what you did! And now... it's time to record the cancer. Join Mike and Jamie as they explore the basement of their local seaside gothic castle/child hospital to uncover the spoiler-y secrets of James Wan's stream-today sleeper, MALIGNANT. With less of a marketing push behind it than the first Wan-less Conjuring, you might think this giallo-tinged throwback to 90's horror might be dead on arrival, but like an electricity-eating monster baby, it won't be so easily disposed of. This one's already becoming a favorite in the BOP household, so check it out while you still can, or risk the gilded blade of Gabriel!

Mini BOP - THE LAST THING MARY SAW

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 28 Aug 2021 14:00:00 -0500

Are you ready to travel unto the woods, back to a bitter American winter in 1843, and have a meal with fundamentalist Christians? Yeah, we wouldn’t be excited either, but what we are excited about is getting an early look at THE LAST THING MARY SAW, a current festival buzzer and premiering on Shudder in 2022. Mike and Jamie sit down for a spoiler free gab-fest on the esoteric horror film from filmmaker Edoardo Vitaletti, the strengths of its mood and atmosphere, fables of otherness and oppression, growing pains of first time filmmakers, and how we all forget how good an actor Rory Culkin is.
Find out if you should be interested in the last thing this chick saw by listening now!

JAMES GUNN'S THE SUICIDE SQUAD

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 21 Aug 2021 17:49:00 -0500

Kinnison The Zombie. Cody Alft. Trident Man. Box Office Pulp Guy. Mike Napier. Click-Ar. Jamie Marshall. And Weasel. Together, these desperate criminals will be united by one mission: Discuss the four-color carnage of The Suicide Squad, James Gunn's most ambitious (and bloodiest) feature yet. And not all of them will be coming home! Between the dark humor, and darker political commentary, "The" couldn't be farther from its peers or the infamous original, but does this sequel/reboot/apology have what it takes to stand beside the best of the genre? Do z-listers like Bloodsport and Ratcatcher have a shot at being the next Harley Quinn? Does Viola Davis get paid by the swear? And just what is the terrible secret of Peter Capaldi's pet starfish? Getting these answers just might cost your favorite podcasters their lives!

R.L. STINE'S FEAR STREET TRILOGY (1994, 1978, 1666)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 13:00:00 -0500

Childhood friends Mike and Cody, along with the girl next door Jamie, had the perfect summer job: Hosting the local radio station's movie analysis show. That was, until they met a trilogy whose secrets would not be so easily uncovered: R.L. Stine's Fear Street! Inspired by the proto-Goosebumps all the cool kids were reading, director Leigh Janiak's multi-era, genre-spanning horror epic is a haunted house of twists, turns, and questionable character choices. Will they survive the experience long enough to tell tale of its grisly kills, shockingly sincere love story, and unique take on slasher conventions? Or will they be banished to watch Haunting Hour reruns until Christmas break?

This episode has many, many pockets. Each pocket filled with more and more thoughts on Marvel's BLACK WIDOW! At long last, since being the best thing in Iron Man 2, battling an insane comic book publisher President that didn't want a movie starring a girl, and constantly being delayed by a global pandemic, Scarlett Johansson and Natasha Romanoff finally gets her epic day on the silver screen and we have joy to share! Along with breakdowns of the dark themes the film has no qualms with tackling, Cate Shortland's superb direction, and most importantly... Red freakin' Guardian.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 15 May 2021 15:00:00 -0500

Never give up hope! Unless that hope is this movie having aged into itself. Continuing on with MORTAL MONTH on the podcast, we're delving into the Tragedy known as MORTAL KOMBAT ANNIHILATION. Popularly recognized as that one time you wish Paul W.S. Anderson stuck around for the video game movie sequel. With this feature commentary track, we come to terms with the why's, the huh's, the Brian Thompson's, and most importantly, James Remar's wig, all to detail the troubled production that resulted in one of the greatest Bad Movies ever.

GODZILLA VS KONG

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 17:11:00 -0500

Box Office Pulp asks "Whose side are you one?" as Son Of Japan battles Ape Of Skull Island! One once died by gunfire, the other by water, but whoever wins, we lose, because this episode's title match is Godzilla vs. Kong: Place your bets! As the Monster/Monarch/Legendary-Verse takes a bow and Adam Wingard rises to the ranks of tentpole director, listen to our thoughts on the Thrilla With Gorilla! Is the (probably) final entry into Legendary Pictures' resurrection of the kaiju movie a worthy follow-up to our beloved King Of The Monsters, or does this fall prey to the usual big-monster-smashy shortcomings?

Welcome to The BOP Salon! While you wait to be seen, help yourself to the second half at our look at THE STYLIST, where we sit down with director Jill Gevargizian of Sixx Tape Productions, as she chats about turning her day job into a slasher movie, the underutilized sub-genre of Cosmetic Horror, the balancing act of depicting a sympathetic killer, and why you should never direct your own death scene. Put in your earbuds, lean back in your chair, and tell Jill and the crew who you'd like to be. It's all as easy as a new hairdo...

KING KONG VS GODZILLA Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 15:00:00 -0500

The famous dust-ups of history: Ford vs. Ferrari! Ali vs. Fraiser! Niles vs. Fraiser! All meaningless compared to the rivalry that cracked open the very Earth in 1962, concerning one King Joseph Kong III and the kaiju who'll fry you, Godzilla! A cinematic empire was spawned the day fur-suit met scale-suit, and IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN IN YOUR LIVING ROOM! Before you see their modern-day rematch, revisit the very first clash of these bitin' titans with The Crew's ringside commentary! BOP n' A Movie takes you back to a simpler time, when Godzilla was still a villain, giant apes could still drink, and monster movies were vessels for cultural satire. Who will be left standing, Honda's skyscraper-stomper or Fay Wray's ex-bae? Will the lizard king humble the prime primate, or will the ape-lord show him the hate-sword? WHICH TALL BOY SHALL FIND JOY IN-- I appear to be having a stroke, please help me.

THE STYLIST

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 17:17:00 -0500

Look, it's been awhile since we've all gotten haircuts without threat of a deadly disease. But what if we told you that your hair can be cut and styled with upmost aplomb, glass of wine in hand, and for a cutthroat price? Only catch? You miiiight be scalped and have your fancy new hair stolen. Or you can forgo haircuts and enjoy this podcast that snips away at the finer details of THE STYLIST! Featuring a haunting performance by Najarra Townsend and a charismatic as always Brea Grant, writer-director Jill Gevargizian's descent into the frayed ends of madness provides a callback to the likes of MANIAC, WHEN A STRANGER CALLS and more, but carves its own aesthetic with a disturbing and soulful realism for a tale of identity, loneliness, and murder.

Mini BOP - IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS PART 2

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 17:27:00 -0500

You've heard the BOP Crew talk about their love of genre cinema before, but not their love of watching other people express that passion with more eloquence and sex appeal! This episode, we're talking about IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS II, the second leg of CreatorVC's critically-acclaimed journey through the horror cinema of the 1980s, with new interviews from Nancy Allen, Linnea Quigley, Clancy Brown, and at least one member of Slipknot. With a longer length and more diverse subject matter, is it as entertaining and rewatchable as the original, or is this the Halloween II (either of them) of horror docs?

THE NIGHT SITTER

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 16:00:00 -0500

As we bury the holiday season in the dirt where it belongs, why not end things with a bang by taking a look at a new seasonal horror gem? From directors-in-crime Abiel Bruhn and John Rocco comes The Night Sitter, a crowd-funded comedy about a boy and his babysitter trapped in a house with suitors, high people, and evil old women who feed off the death of innocence. So, the usual Christmas experience. But behind the familiar trappings lies a red-and-green throwback to the supernatural Giallos of old, with Elyse Dufour leading a memorable cast of newcomers through a night of scheming ghost hunter wannabes, demonically possessed thots, and the best trio of witches since the Sanderson Sisters, in a story that's as endearing as it is scary-- and absolutely friggin' hilarious.

Wonder Woman 1984 Is Good, Actually

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 16 Jan 2021 20:18:00 -0500

Grab your magic stone and wish for better hosts, because Mike and Jamie are talking about Wonder Woman 1984, the Christmas Day release that marked a new era of digital distribution for Warner Bros. and their new HBO Max streaming service, much to the chagrin of studios and some audiences. But beneath the controversies and the twitter roasting lies one of the most original and far-reaching superhero films in ages, and your hosts have a lot to say about the movie's themes of self-truth, the relevancy of its message and how the movie succeeds in delivering it-- and how it doesn't. All that and the animal magnetism of Pedro Pascal, the magnetic animalism of Kristen Wiig, and the 101 ways Chris Pine could have been brought back better!

THE THIN MAN Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 17:00:00 -0500

Holidays got you drained? Not particularly festive this year? Feel like punching a stranger if you see another Leg Lamp? Then BOP n' A Movie has a non-denominational, seasonally-appropriate treat where Santa keeps his jolly ass at home: 1934's booze-and-clues classic THE THIN MAN! Join Mike & Jamie Charles, along with their pet drunk Cody, as they investigate what's made this feel-good homicidal romp stand the test of time. From William Powell and Myna Loy's one-of-a-kind chemistry, to the film's uncanny talent for sending-up noir tropes before they were even tropes, you couldn't ask for a cozier movie to get sloshed to.

You Can't Kill The Gummer: TREMORS 5 & 6

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 18:02:00 -0500

So it's come to this. Jamie and Cody are reaching the end of their trek through the life of Burt Gummer, and have seen the mustache man's most terrifying foe yet: IP cash-ins. On its penultimate episode, You Can't Kill The Gummer looks at the two movies that brought back the graboids for a new generation, for better or worse, 2015's Tremors 5: Bloodlines and 2018's Tremors: A Cold Day In Hell. The first entries in the franchise without the involvement of Stampede Entertainment, are these Jamie Kennedy-centric fahter-and-son survivalist bonding adventures worthy of the legacy of worm-explodin' that came before them? No.

ALIEN ABDUCTION: INCIDENT IN LAKE COUNTY Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 17:47:00 -0500

In the fall of 2020, Cody Alft, Mike Napier, and Jamie Marshall set out to record a Thanksgiving episode of their podcast, on the UPN original movie Alien Abduction: Incident At Lake County. What they purportedly captured on their microphones was more than just a discussion of obscure cinema. The following BOP n' A Movie commentary track, if real, could be the most important evidence ever that the found footage subgenre has roots reaching back long before Blair Witch. As you avoid election discourse with relatives, listen to the crew of Box Office Pulp detail their childhood memories of Dean Alioto's little-known yet deeply influential UFO thriller, the original lost film it was based on, and the bizarre conspiracy both movies found themselves at the center of.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 19:15:00 -0500

Sit around this campfire, podcast listener, and we shall tell you a tale. A tale of greed, and deception, and unstoppable will. A tale of a young country growing out of stolen soil, and the blood that watered it. And sandworms. It's Tremors, we're talking about Tremors again, it's another Tremors episode. Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, to be exact! Join Silver Tycoon Cody and Schoolmarm Jamie as they explore the last entry in the series to involve original co-creator S.S. Wilson, a Weird Western prequel that's as out-of-left-field as finales get, but also... might have the most to say out of the whole lot? We're just as surprised as you are, honestly.

You Can't Kill The Gummer: TREMORS 3: BACK TO PERFECTION

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 19:53:00 -0500

Much like Frosty The Snowman and the star power of Bradley Cooper, graboids never stay gone for too long, and You Can't Kill The Gummer is back with a look at Tremors 3: Back To Perfection. After five long years, we return to Burt and his home of Perfection, Nevada, a festering hellhole of false cowboys, shady real estate schemes, and more sandworm-themed tourist traps than Frank Herbert's home town.How does this return to form for the series stack up against the form it was returning from? Join Cody, Jamie, and The Endangered Ass-Blasters Of America as they put entirely too much thought into the answer!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, SCOOBY-DOO! Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 17:51:00 -0500

You walk out onto an unfamiliar street, your legs doing the thinking for you. The chill steals the last remnants of warmth from your breath, turning it to a cool mist before your eyes. It's dark, as dark as it gets, but even so there are shadows, long and threatening, cast by nothing at all. As it strikes you how improbable that is, you hear the children, unseen but approaching, the clatter of their hurried footsteps nearly drowning out their endless, maddening chant: "Come on, Scooby, where you been? Trouble's on the loose again." It is Big-Ass Pumpkin Day, and no God or demon can deliver you from the jaws of celebration. So why don'tcha pop on the BOP Crew's commentary for this season's surprise gem, Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo? Join Mike, Cody, and the rest as they uncover the secrets of Einstein's Fridge, marvel at the lengths a kid's cartoon will go to to keep Elvira dirty, and curse the name of the most arch Scarecrow to never interact with Batman. Has the creator of The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy done the unthinkable and directed the perfect Scooby-Doo movie? Is Daphne the secret MVP of Mystery, Inc? Are Velma and Bill Nye the power couple America needs? Does anyone remember that SCOOB came out this year? Well you better find out soon, because the children have arrived, and they are carrying you off to the burning woods on the outskirts of town. Wait, there aren't woods on the outskirts of your town, those are... NO... NOOOOOO! They are singing a new chant now. They are chanting their master's name. And in the darkness, It declares this a Big-Ass, Big-Ass Pumpkin Day indeed...

You Can't Kill The Gummer: TERMORS 2: AFTERSHOCKS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 22:48:00 -0500

Fetch your combustible RC cars and Graboids™ arcade cabinet, because this retrospective on the Tremors sequels has finally reached its first Tremors sequel! This week Cody and Jamie are revisiting Tremors 2: Aftershocks, the 1996 follow-up that brings half the cast, a quarter of the budget, but three times the Fred Ward. Could this hold the dubious honor of the greatest DTV sequel of all time? What the hell is going on with Graboid physiology? And how does the fall of the Soviet Union play into the origin story of the greatest monster hunter to ever live... in Nevada? I don't know, I just write the descriptions.

You Can't Kill The Gummer: TREMORS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 25 Sep 2020 17:00:00 -0500

During these trying times the auto commercials tell us we're having, everyone's looking for comfort food. So while Mike wages a private war with his internet provider, Cody and Jamie are digging into one of the few things from their childhoods that have weathered all life's thrown at them and come out still kicking: The Tremors franchise, mainlined by one of the longest-running monster hunters in film, Burt Gummer. Welcome to You Can't Kill The Gummer. the podcast where nobody owns a helicopter! Leading up to the release of seventh (!) entry in the series, they're revisiting each chapter in the Graboid saga, starting with the cult classic that drifted through theaters in January of 1990, but caused a VHS revolution a few months later. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward as adorable Action Buddies, one of the best creature designs of the 90's, and Michael Gross chewing the scenery with country singer/sitcom star Reba McEntire? Best movie ever. Best movie ever.

DIY Demons: Lake Michigan Monster & Host

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 17:00:00 -0500

If you're anything like the BOP Crew, you've been idling away Virus Year with as many homebrew projects as you can. But while some of us are building LEGO castles or recutting Excalibur to be in sync, indie artists have been proving how much can be done with hardly anything at all. Join Cody and Jamie as they hype up Arrow's "Lake Michigan Monster", and Shudder's "Host", two wildly different, direct-to-streaming genre entries from directors Ryland Brickson Cole Tews and Rob Savage. Nautical hijinks abound as BOP delves into the changing definition of DIY filmmaking, the structural efficiency of the one-hour horror movie, and what a drunken sea captain's battle with a Cuphead boss says about America in 2020.

DOOM Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 14:00:00 -0500

Within the unseen Umbral Plains of Hollywood, film studios rip souls from promising films, producing husks of celluloid innards designed by The Nameless Marketers to please no one. Cinemas and discount bins infested with once earnest oaths for proper adaptation. Nowhere is this demonic pact more brutal than the videogame movie. The simplest of concepts, confused and contorted into unhuman wretches. It takes only podcasters with huge guts to examine the why and the how of such torment. A stellar cast, a writer with cred, the perfect blueprint, everything going for it and the right eye toward B-movie flair. But as it is written: the road to hell is paved with good intentions! Never truer than in 2005's long-awaited DOOM movie. Join us in Not Hell for this BOP 'n A Tragedy Commentary Track for this still kind of enjoyable heresy against a game classic, hopefully getting to the bottom of how it came together. BOP and Pod... until it is done!

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 21 May 2020 14:00:00 -0500

He's the best at what he does, unfortunately, what he does in no way involves the power to tell Tom Rothman "no." The BOP Crew reaches the zenith of X-Men Generation One in our X-Retrospective series, along with the zenith of late 2000s 20th Century Fox Tom-foolery (see what we did there?). This is our audio commentary for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, a film meant to kickstart a spin-off series of Origin titles, be Gavin Hood's big break, the start of a (very) different Deadpool, plus many other incredibly broken promises. Instead, a writer's strike, producer and executive arguments, conflicting ideals, last minute changes, the entire film being leaked onto the internet, and a myriad of other problems forever altered an R-rated revenge tale about Logan's war-torn PTSD into... well, you've seen it. Certainly a Tragedy!

X-MEN 3: THE LAST STAND Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 01 May 2020 15:00:00 -0500

Audiences and third films. They have long struggled to co-exist, with studios stretching directors to the point of burnout, and others choosing new blood to handle the ballooning budgets and ravenous expectations. Neither strategy has prevailed, and X-Men: The Last Stand exists as a monument to this riddle so few can solve. Join BOP n' A Movie as we move into Tragedy territory on the third leg of our X-Men commentary series, dissecting one of the most infamous disappointments of the 2000's, a film so poorly-received it was held partially responsible for "killing" the superhero movie before the MCU began printing money. 20th Century Fox (RIP) was a very different company in 2006, and the road that led to us becoming Juggernaut's bitch is strewn with false starts, corporate betrayals, message board tea-spilling, greed, addiction, and even more troubles in the Job-like existence of James Marsden. But underneath the jump-cuts and the botched story-lines, is there a solid X-Men story hiding out at Magneto's Summer Camp? Throw on that uniform that's a size too small and avoid getting your fur caught in the zipper, because you're about to find out!

X2: X-MEN UNITED Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 13:00:00 -0500

Escalation. Since the discovery of the formula, superhero movies have known it to be the secret to their survival. The debate rages: Do audiences want more action and a grander scale the second time around, or a more personal experience with these characters? Either way, it is a historical fact: X2: X-Men United had it both ways. The academy's sophomore outing attempted to adapt God Loves, Man Kills, delve into Wolverine's origins at Weapon X, unravel a presidential assassination conspiracy, set up the Dark Phoenix Saga, AND be a sequel to the original film, and by some miracle of mutation it all worked out. In BOP n' A Movie's second installment of our X-Men commentary series, we examine how this jam-packed screenplay updates the mutant metaphor for the Bush era, and how its structure gave us the blueprint for the modern team-up movie, before we wonder at the Munich circus's own Incredible Nightcrawler, witness the origin of Michael Dougherty, and once again lament how little James Marsden has to do.

But in our defense, we're just so darn excited to talk up the madness of one Howard Phillip Lovecraft!

X-MEN Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 16:00:00 -0500

Comic book movies: The key to multi-media empires. It has enabled us to view men in rubber suits punching penguin-men, spandex-clad alien visitors turning back time, and Shaq attempting to act. But every few decades, comic book movies leap forward. With the impending release of NEW MUTANTS, the final in-continuity film in the franchise that changed the course of action cinema and cemented a genre into the pop culture zeitgeist, the BOP Crew is celebrating where it all began with a trip down Mutant Lane, going deep and introspective on the X-MEN franchise! It's a BOP 'n A Movie X-TRAVAGANZA! In the first feature audio commentary of the series, we travel back to humble beginnings in the year 2000, where the superhero had died in a blaze of Bat nipples and ice puns, ready to be re-birthed with a new purview of what the genre could be. The world was ready for the mutant metaphor and something new and strange. It's the film that changed comics, movies, and made Toad a household name, this is X-MEN!

CHILD'S PLAY 3 Commentary Track

Just when you thought it was time to put away childish things like dolls and do something grown-up like put on fatigues and pretend war for a bunch of old white dudes, movie studio executives come beckoning with insane demands like putting out another sequel less than a year since your last entry! Such is the strange and sad tale of Don Mancini's CHILD'S PLAY 3, a Bop n' A Tragedy if there ever was one! With only mere months to throw together a script, cast, and film an entire movie from scratch, it's a testament to Mancini's talent that Chucky and Andy's third bloody tango is worth watching, examining, and appreciating! With themes of toxic masculinity, adulthood, and the friggin' coolest haunted house put on film, there's plenty of charm to be found in this trilogy capper before the big tonal reboot! So, begin your voodoo incantations and join us for this audio commentary!

Netflix And BOP

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 17:00:00 -0500

As countless movie trailers keep reminding us, the world is changing. With theaters struggling to attract butts to seats, streaming sites are shaping up to soon be the primary way we see new releases. So how well are they handling the responsibility? Join Cody and Jamie as they discuss the highs, lows, and Brights of the former pop-up ad nuisance and current King Of New Media, The Net-Flicks. Does The Irishman live up to the hype, or did Disney put out a hit on Martin Scorsese for nothing? Is word-of-mouth going to be enough to make these titles stand out in an increasingly flooded library? Are we close to Netflix Horror becoming a sub-genre of its own? And for God's sake, will somebody tell Tom Waits how high a bird can count? Next episode playing in 3... 2... 1...

John Carter (Of Mars) - LOVE THE BOMBS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 05 Dec 2019 18:52:00 -0500

Mars ain't no place to set a movie. In fact, it's cold as hell. This is a lesson Andrew Stanton would learn in 2012 when the release of his dream project, a mega-budget adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' massively influential John Carter novels, was met with spectacular apathy from critics and audiences alike. Released a month before The Avengers, this mocap-heavy sci-fi/fantasy/western was going to kick off the next great Disney franchise, but inexperience, bad timing, and one of the most ill-advised marketing campaigns in recent memory doomed it to the scrap heap. A shame, since it's one of the most charming and lovingly-crafted adventure flicks of the last decade. In this edition of How I Learned To Love The Bombs, we detail how a Pixar director with no live-action experience rescued John Carter from 80 years of Development Hell, the trilogy and more we almost got from a team with three Oscars and a Pulitzer between them, Lynn Collins' turn as the 2010's most unsung action heroine, and how this movie is one Ocean Master away from just being Aquaman.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY (1991) with Spooky Gal's Corner

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 17:01:00 -0500

The BOP Crew does what they wanna do and says what they wanna say... and the podcast might be worst off for it. In this extra special creepy and kooky episode, we turn the clock back to the radical '90s to talk one of our most affectionate childhood movies, Barry Sonnenfeld's THE ADDAMS FAMILY! But, since we three are only mysterious, creepy and kooky, we needed someone to really bring in that spooky! So we reached out to friend of the show and real life Morticia, Jasmine of Spooky Gal's Corner! With our powers combined, we're all together ooky, which is the perfect state of being to talk about this seminal film in many people's lives, which would go onto birth a whole movement of classic TV to film adaptations and cement the iconic versions of these decades old characters. Not to mention immortalize the late Raul Julia. So snap your fingers in tune because it's time to play wake the dead!

Return To BOP's Lot: The Worst Of King

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 14 Nov 2019 17:45:00 -0500

We've talked about a lot of good Stephen King movies on Box Office Pulp, but tonight we want to tell you about the ones that weren't so good. A lot of other podcasts have made fun of these, and we finally decided that if you want something done right... you ought to do it yourself. So join the BOP Crew as they reminisce about a childhood wasted waiting for The Langoliers to eat that airport, Matthew Mcconaughey's leisurely stroll toward The Dark Tower, the tremendous lasting impact Maximum Overdrive has somehow had on American culture, and the sinister storefront where each item comes at a terrible cost... boredom. When the dust clears, paper will have been torn, Tommyknockers will have Tommyknocked, and Cody will have been forever entangled in the nightmare that is... the Dreamcatcher.

TRICK 'r TREAT Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 16:26:00 -0500

During the spookiest time of the year, there are a few guidelines all horror fans should follow. Always check if there's a Blumhouse release out, never go to a stranger's home to see their VHS collection, and NEVER watch alone. I see you're ready to pop in the 2009 anthology Trick r' Treat tonight, but not so fast, Timmy! You want to let The BOP Crew check that movie for razor-blades, so give this BOP n' A Movie audio commentary a listen first! Our Samhain Specialists are here to explore how Michael Dougherty's directorial debut showcases the holiday in all of its forms, from the innocence of youthful corpse-carving to the romance of your first werewolf transformation. Along the way, they'll unwrap the SFX techniques that span generations of film-making, the balancing act of conflicting tones it pulls off effortlessly, the questionable decisions of a studio that tried to bury it at every turn, and the complex motivations of Leslie Bibb in a robot costume. And after they're done, you'll have so many delicious razor-blades left over for some tricking of your own!

THE PUMPKIN KARVER Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 16:00:00 -0500

Get out your knife and a really big spoon, because it's the only day of the year the BOP Crew looks forward to more than Halloween: The Great Gourdening, Dia de los Calabaza itself, Big-Ass Pumpkin Day! And to properly prepare for the festivities, we suggest you put on a slasher so obscure it makes you think "Wow, Amy Weber and Minka Kelly are really slumming it," THE PUMPKIN KARVER! Mix together this year's BAPD Cocktail, and listen to Cody, Mike, and Jamie get lost in the dangerous world of expert pumpkin carving. Then grab your own pump', cut a full circle around the top, leaving plenty of room for scooping. Once the ole' orange-boy is hollow, draw your desired Jack-O onto the gourd with a a black marker, and carefully remove the desired pieces in a gentle, see-saw motion. Just don't carve with any evil in your heart! But also don't be afraid to go crazy, Jack's a versatile dude! Around this time, the Crew should be lost in a terrifying alternate reality where the pumpkins have come to take back what's their's. Set your new friend on the couch next to you, down a good swig of that BOPtail that's been gathering dust. After this, absolutely nothing will matter and you'll be in the perfect mindset for Karver's respectable FX budget and dedication to patch-based horror. Take another sip. Ahh. It truly was a Big-Ass, Big-Ass Pumpkin Day.

BOP's Lot: The Best of Stephen King

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:30:00 -0500

The author from Maine strode across the silver screen, and the BOP Crew followed. Not, like, in a stalker way or anything, we just-- it's a podcast, okay? And in honor of this year's love affair with the man, we're spotlighting the legend, inspiration, and goddamn industry that is Stephen King! People (mainly us) have gushed about The Shining and IT aplenty, but what about the lesser-known cinematic gems from the most-adapted author since God? Listen to Cody Flagg, Mike Renfield, and It Was Always Meant To Be Jamie as they revisit the time two masters of horror gave us the love story of a boy and his Plymouth; a tale of revenge from beyond the grave from the man who resurrected Jason; the only Rob Reiner movie more upsetting than North; the evilest of fucking rooms, and more!

IT: CHAPTER 2

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 15:16:00 -0500

Beep Beep, folks! The BOP Crew is floating their way on back to Derry to fulfill a blood oath. A blood oath to... to talk about movies. We take talking about movies very seriously, all right!? But regardless, we find ourselves collectively at the conclusion of the horror juggernaut that is Stephen King's clown-tastic, IT CHAPTER 2! Andy Muschietti takes on the Herculean task of providing a satisfying end to a story that generally... is not known for having a satisfying ending. After crafting a masterpiece with Chapter 1, is he able to land safely, or is there Langoliers-sized turbulence? Join Mike, Cody, and the great cosmic Turtle in this dead lights deep dive!

SPLIT SECOND

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 16:00:00 -0500

Satan's in deep shit! The BOP Crew is sitting down with some instant coffee and whipping chocolates at the refrigerator. Cody's housewarming party? No, it's because we're talking about the 1992 sci-fi/horror/noir/comedy from the writer of Hollow Man and The Fast And The Furious, SPLIT SECOND! Haven't heard of it, you say? Neither had we until the passing of it's star, Rutger Hauer, but what we found was a chronicle of the far-flung future of 2008, where a troubled detective who doesn't play by the rules searches the flooded streets of London for a killer who may be something more - or less - than human. In other words? B-Movie heaven! Listen we as we discuss it's eerily feasible "future" setting, the avalanche of plot points that take us from gene sequencers to astrology charts, whether or not this movie knows it's ridiculous, the joy of seeing prestige actors dress like action figures, why it really should have been called Black Tide, and how Stephen Norrington gave us the first live-action Venom. It's always comes back to Venom!

CHILD'S PLAY 2 Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 16:00:00 -0500

Oh, you thought it was the end, friends? Clearly you don't know how slasher flicks work! We're continuing our BOP 'n A Movie series on the franchise that keeps going and going and going and going. And unlike that piece of crap Energizer Bunny, Chucky don't need no batteries to do it! This time, we tackle the baby steps the series took as it moved on from Tom Holland, slowly began embracing a more campy tone, and sky rocketed everyone's favorite killer doll into a pop culture sensation! A debate has raged between series fans for decades on whether this sequel is a worthy successor. While The Crew all share differing opinions on that very subject, the aim is to dig deep and show to even it's defenders... Don Mancini's CHILD'S PLAY 2 is more interesting than it first appears! From the differences between alternate cuts, it's brutal take on violence, Andy's one-of-a-kind arc, and it's unique take on suburban horror. So, knock that annoying Tommy Doll aside and join us for this feature commentary!

Mini BOP - VENOM

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 16:00:00 -0500

The nineties were a grand ole' time if you were a geeky kid. An era ruled by a wise and fair Macho King, all your favorite characters co-existed in ice cream form, and an invasion of bigger, badder, and extrem-ier anti-heroes hit comics like a flaming-hot meteor, and cooled off just as quickly. Over thirty years since his creation, VENOM has not only outlived the trends that birthed him, but thrived -- much to the chagrin of the same readers who were his first fans. In Eddie Brock's film debut (we don't talk about Spider-Man 3), Ruben Fleischer and co. have not only paid shockingly faithful tribute to the nerd world's #1 problematic fave, they've chucked the macho doom-and-gloom for an upbeat romp about a boy and his blob. So why all the hate? In this Mini BOP, Symbiotic Experts Mike and Jamie weigh in on fans' curious relationship with the character, the one-of-a-kind tone that sets it apart from a sub-genre aching for experimentation, where this ranks in the annals of Weird Tom Hardy Performances, and how Venom is 100% a queer romantic-comedy.

CHILD'S PLAY (1988) Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 20 Jul 2019 16:00:00 -0500

The BOP Crew will be your friends 'till the end! Or at least until you shove us into a fire place and light us ablaze. But even being a congealed, melted hunk of plastic won't keep us from bringing you this BOP 'n A Movie! With the remake having just recently graced theaters, it seemed appropriate to travel back in time to the beginning of a now incredibly long-running horror series, to the first time Charles Lee Ray bellowed out an incantation to transfer his soul. The first time he screeched out "you bitch!" or skittered about the floor with a kitchen knife to threaten a small child. Ah, memories. But in seriousness, this franchise has evolved like no other, changing in tone and rebooting itself to stay with the times, never betraying it's continuity or characters, all while proving that a severe lack of AA batteries is one of the scariest things of all. So, join us for this feature commentary that dissects how the hell an 80s movie about a killer garbage pail kid is so god damn terrifying, effective, and way more prestige than it should be! Give it up for Don Mancini and Tom Holland's, CHILD'S PLAY! Also, we find out how much Mike despises puppetry.

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 16:00:00 -0500

In today's troubling world, we need real heroes now more than ever. That's why we're glad to report that a new icon has risen to inspire America in its darkest hour: Mysterio, the star of Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home. Listen to us rave about how Jake Gyllenhaal brings the iconic inter-dimensional traveler known as Mysterio to life, the surprisingly relevant themes his character represents, and what the developments he brings to the table mean for both Spider-Man and the MCU at large. In a world where Into The Spider-Verse exists, what does this movie do to step out of the shadow of a cultural touchstone, and how does it all, in the end, come down to Mysterio? Only by listening can the truth be found!

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 16:00:00 -0500

History (and Hollywood) can't help but show, again and again, how nature points out the folly of man, and usually it's with a giant, radioactive, morally-ambiguous lizard beating the ever loving snot out of some monsters. Now THAT'S an environmental lesson we can all get behind! It's been many a years since Gareth Edwards rose a new Americanized big budget Godzilla from the depths. It may not have been perfect, but with the release of Michael Dougherty's damn fine roller-coaster ride of a sequel, it is the perfect cinematic equivalent of "I set 'em up, you knock 'em down!" And boy, did Dougherty knock 'em down! Aided by one hell of a cast, some killer effects, new and fascinating allegories, a surprisingly engaging human story, and more Monster Zero and Mothra action than you can shake a Rodan at, GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS is a Kaiju slug-fest that all others should bow down to! I mean, Rodan definitely will, but he'll bow to a startling breeze. So, with a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound, pull some high-tension wires down with us as we dissect the intricacies of this Toho love letter!

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 16:00:00 -0500

You've seen The Crew go head-to-glove with Freddy Krueger. You've seen them say n-o to Jack-O, and chase Pumpkinhead back to Lance Henrickson's shack with his pumpkintail between his pumpkinlegs! But now they face off against cinema's most terrifying creatures... Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the original Vaudevillian Villains! In yet another BOP 'n A Movie rock 'em and sock 'em punch-out involving things which go bump in the night and/or snarl a lot, we survey the only surviving record of three hapless monsters who left the old country in search of the American dream, and found only a nightmare. A nightmare of sight gags, prat-falls, and wacky chase scenes! It's the movie that invented the horror-comedy as we know it, contains perhaps Bela Lugosi's strongest performance as a creature of the night, the dawn of Glenn Strange's tenure as the titular Monster, and feels as fun and witty today as it was in 1948! Many a horror-nerd hold this film near and dear, us included, so we're busting out the popcorn (and a special mad science-y concoction of booze!) to dig deep in dissecting some cinematic history and raise this feature commentary for ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN from the dead!

IN THIS CORNER, HAILING FROM LV-426, THE PHALLIC EYE IN GIGER'S EYE, THE HUDSON DESTROYER... THE XENOMORPH! And... in this corner... from parts unknown... he's the last laugh on Schwarzenegger... he's one ugly mother f*cker... THE PREDATOR! And whoever wins... doesn't really matter because we'll still be getting a really disappointing sequel either way. But we're not here for requiems! We're here for a monster mash-up of a BOP 'n A Movie! Remembered for being a big dumb CGI laden action flick, with years removed and upon reflection... well, it's still like half that. BUT more interesting than it's reputation allows! This feature commentary will dig deep into the Antarctic to detail how this is in reality a practical effects spectacle (with little CGI), standing as a fun rumpus beat 'em up despite it's flaws, and boasting a long forgotten and killer survivor girl that definitely needs more credit and appreciation. So, prepare to deep throat a facehugger for Paul W.S. Anderson's AVP: ALIEN VS PREDATOR!

Tales From The BOP: HELLBOY (2019)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 31 May 2019 16:00:00 -0500

There are movies that suck in the summer, dear listener, make no mistake... and we are the ones who suck back. That statement did not come out right at all, but unlike this episode's subject, we stick to our guns all the way down. That's right, BOP's very own Senior Hellboy Aficionado Cody went to see Neil Marshall's studio-hijacked 2019 reboot/prequel/spin-off/Cinematic-Universe-Creation-Kit, and after several weeks of reflection felt up to the task of running us down each and every footnote-burdened sequence. Listen as Cody The Homunculus guides us through a twisting labyrinth of flashbacks, character introductions, location changes, needle-drops, and lobsters Johnson, all to please a fan-base that would've preferred it if they'd just stuck with the other guy. Is this Hellboy just a bunch of cosplaying actors reading Wikipedia articles aloud to the camera over their director's muffled sobs, or is there value to be found in this maligned production? The first one. Definitely the first one. It's a bad movie, don't watch it. But do grab yourself a brew and a king-sized Baby Ruth, and listen to us spin another bone-chilling Tale From The BOP!

SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW - LOVE THE BOMBS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 19 May 2019 16:00:00 -0500

Welcome to How I Learned To Love The Bombs, a new sub-series where the BOP Crew spotlights some of our favorite celluloid in the rough-- from the under-performing, to the underappreciated, to the underground-- and shower them with the love their audiences so cruelly denied them. And what better way to begin then with a film that ushered in a new age of Hollywood: Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow! Find out how two brothers from Flint, Michigan went from shooting a short film about killer robots in their living room to being in charge of a multi-million-dollar tent-pole, how they unintentionally pioneered the technology that's made everything from Avatar to the MCU possible, and how bad timing and industry shuffling led to director Kerry Conran being in movie jail to this day.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 02 May 2019 15:00:00 -0500

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.

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Commentary Track

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.

Mini BOP - PET SEMETARY (2019)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 16:17:00 -0500

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!

BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 16:00:00 -0500

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!

BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 16:00:00 -0500

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!

Mini BOP - CAPTAIN MARVEL

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 17:34:00 -0500

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.

BACK TO THE FUTURE Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 16:00:00 -0500

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!

A Tale Of Two Spielbergs

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 20:25:00 -0500

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!

HOOK Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 17:47:00 -0500

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!

MINORITY REPORT

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 10 Feb 2019 17:00:00 -0500

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.

EVENT HORIZON Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 17:00:00 -0500

So, you've ditched your battle-damaged wave-runner and sworn off the high seas for good this time, aye? Unlucky for you, there's still one more cursed voyage to take in our look at low-grossing 90's derelict ship-based horror, BOP n' A Tragedy! Our final stop on this roller-coaster of quality is Paul W.S. Anderson's incomplete cult classic, 1997's EVENT HORIZON! In this feature commentary, we perform a loving autopsy on a film that began life as a simple ghost story in space, and evolved into a psychological journey through hell... before an insecure, cold feet studio left us with a final cut that reaches for the stars but only nearly gets there. From hiring Sam Neill to deconstruct his own film persona, to throwing Actual Satan into a traditional sci-fi plot, we go through the surprisingly bold decisions made by a filmmaker most known for playing it dumb, and end up with a newfound respect for the man who gave us Resident Evil. But that's a tragedy for another time...

DEEP RISING Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 17:00:00 -0500

You've escaped the terror of MechaSutherland and accepted that man is the true virus, so now what? Well, now it's time for the second act of our journey through high-concept 90s sci-fi bombs, BOP 'n A Tragedy! And our next feature commentary is for the 1998 high seas adventure/creature feature/noir/comedy/backdoor pilot, DEEP RISING! Just one year before he gave us The Mummy, director Stephen Sommers would ask himself, "what would have happened in Die Hard if Godzilla showed up halfway through?" The result would be one of the most unique and subplot-burdened genre films of the era. From Jerry Goldsmith's score to Treat Williams devouring the scenery at every turn, we're diving 30,000 fathoms to uncover what makes this vessel far more sea-worthy than it has any right to be, and mourn a SURPRISE cinematic universe we very nearly had. No, really.

VIRUS Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 16:25:00 -0500

There are films that expand the mind, enrich the spirit, or even teach us how to be better. Cinema can, and often is, a triumph. But, dear listeners, haven't the triumphs of the medium been examined, analyzed, and spoken of enough? The laws of time and space have a rule: for every positive, for every triumph... there must be an opposite. And so, welcome to BOP 'n A Tragedy! A mini-series where we put films that are commercial or critical failures under a microscope, and learn to celebrate what is there, warts and all. To kick it off, we're watching a real schlocky clunker of a problematic fave, 1999's Jamie Lee Curtis disowned, VIRUS! Robot zombie cyborgs from space, one of the lesser Baldwin brothers, Donald Sutherland putting in the weirdest performance ever, all based upon an indie comic by a fairly well regarded writer and directed by Jim Cameron's go to special effects whiz! A recipe for something special, even if it didn't quite turn out. But why didn't it? In our feature audio commentary, we get to the bottom, from production history, to structure and concept, all while giggling at some of the coolest creature effects put on film.

BOPardy!

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 31 Dec 2018 17:00:00 -0500

Move over, Trebek! We don't need you OR your lousy mustache! Or lousy clean shaven face. Or lousy beard. Or whatever you have these days. Bees, perhaps? Who knows, we're under the age of 70 and don't watch your show. The important thing is, Cody has wrestled hosting duties away from you and re-branded everyone's favorite prime time game show into... BOPardy! And things run less than smoothly because of it. We're throwing out world history and replacing it with movie trivia! Or something. I don't know, Cody got weird with it, and there was improv, and Dracula, and a lot of screaming. Look, Mike and Jamie were tortured to the point they nearly quit the show, so if you want to see friends TORN APART while duking it out for fake money, then get your daily double (two shots Jack recommended) and join the BOP Crew as they descend into game show hell in this very special edition episode!

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (2017)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 21 Dec 2018 17:00:00 -0500

Our name is Box Office Pulp, and we are probably the least professional movie podcast in the world. Which is why we're so upset that our relaxing train ride has been interrupted with murder most foul! We actually have to record an episode when all we want to do is read Dickens and eat cake. So, in an episode where everyone - yes, even you, dear listener - is a suspect, The Crew curls their double mustaches for a sit down chat about Kenneth Branagh's superb adaptation of Agatha Christie's whodunit masterpiece, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS! How did Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green give us a new, laser focused contextualization of Hercule Poirot, a character as legendary as Mr. Holmes, but whom gets none of the credit, all without re-inventing him from the ground up? What of the Old Hollywood filmmaking the film gifts us? The acting porn packed into one long tube of A-Listers? How the film take us on a philosophical sojourn while still giving us Willem Dafoe with a silly accent? And how has the history of the mystery informed storytelling to this day? The answers are FULL of the fudge! But, like, in a good way. Not that fudge is usually diabolical.

CLUE Commentary Track (with Carter Lee)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 17:19:00 -0500

Was it Cody in the Billiard Room with the pipe? Was it Jamie in the Kitchen with the candlestick? Perhaps Mike in the Library with the revolver? Or, in the most likely scenario, our special returning guest Carter Lee in the Dining Room with the rope!? No matter the answer, Communism was JUST a red herring, we assure you. You see, on this date of December 13th, but in the year of 1985, one of the greatest comedies ever produced was unappreciatively released in theaters. But, decades later, we're here to appreciate! And delve into what makes this classic satire of whodunits so special -- and it's not just the fact a movie based on a board game was actually good. And so, BOP 'n A Movie cordially invites you on this dark and stormy night to our Manor of Many Rooms, for a dinner date of brandy, blackmail, and MURDER! But before we stack any corpses onto the couch, enjoy this feature commentary track for... CLUE!

The Boy Who Lived... has come to die... And Box Office Pulp has come to graduate from Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Many werewolf full moons ago we took off in Hagrid's side car on a quest that took us from a cupboard under the stairs, to one of the greatest cinematic worlds ever produced, all to plumb the intricacies and artistry of a once in a lifetime series that actually stuck a landing! And boy, what a landing. BOP 'n A Movie opens at the close to provide a feature commentary for HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART TWO! The, at times, tragic, but often triumphant culmination of a franchise that many, literally, grew up on. As for our final word on J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World and all those who put their blood, sweat, tears, and tolerance of Dobby into bringing it to life? Always.

Tales From The BOP: THE SNOWMAN

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 17:00:00 -0500

Mister Police. You could have saved yourself from watching this movie. I gave you all the reviews. But still you did. Still you watched due to the promise of Michael Fassbender battling a Snowman themed serial killer. Now look at you, a shadow of your former self. But luckily, for the rest of you, one member of the BOP Crew has turned his soul crushing viewing experience into this spine-tingler of a TALES FROM THE BOP! All in hope you don't meet his same twig-armed fate! This time, Mike weaves for Cody and Jamie, a story of Charlotte Gainsbourg dry humping our lead actor, a Dubbed Val Kilmer growling in a tub, scenes that play our perilously without any sense of rhythm or connection to plot, and a director who has disowned his own film! Allow me to introduce you all to the botched adaptation of the worldwide best-selling novel... THE SNOWMAN!

The Art of Adaptation (with Adam DeCollibus)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 16:44:00 -0500

Fair warning: The book of this podcast was better. But that doesn't mean we're not giving it the old college try, as we talk about the art of film adaptations with our special guest, and author of the upcoming book CARAVAN, Adam DeCollibus! We try to nail down what can be gained from moving a story from one medium to the next, what can be inevitably lost, and how those changes can sometimes affect the source material in unexpected ways. Case in point: The Spirit. Remember The Spirit? No? Well, once upon a time there was a man named Frank Miller...

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1 Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 10 Nov 2018 17:00:00 -0500

There once were three podcasters who took it upon themselves to record a commentary track for every film in a very beloved series. Nearing the end of their Wizarding journey, they found the final adaptation had been split in two! Being podcasters with little to no lives outside their hobby, though, they simply waved off any prior obligations and sat down for the first of their final two Potter BOP ‘n A Movie tracks! The Golden Trio find themselves lost in some woods, and lost emotionally, as a movie often tossed aside and mis-remembered as nothing more than stretched out prelude, may in fact, be one of the most interesting and best in the canon, and a real showing of what David Yates can do once he’s figured himself out. The kids forever leave childhood behind and are violently forced to confront being adults in a world at war in: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART ONE!

A Bunch of Hocus Pocus: The Kids Horror Canon

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:23:00 -0500

Listener beware, you’re in for a… *checks notes* trip to the intersection of Nostalgia Lane and Formative Genre Programming Boulevard. It’s the spookiest night of the year, with all the little ghosts and goblins performing tricks and collecting treats, but instead of watching in wistful remembrance of youth, The BOP Crew is celebrating Halloween by… well, talking in wistful remembrance of youth! We’re digging up the most underrated, but arguably, most important bones of the genre, and assembling a Frankensteinian canon of influential children’s horror media. We’ve got Cowardly Dogs, Midnight Societies, Goosebumps, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark sitting in our lab, not only waiting to give you back some old nightmares, but holding the key to what makes this stuff the very heart of horror, and essential to growing up. We all owe Ernest a life debt, is what I mean.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 16:00:00 -0500

Our Unbreakable Vow to provide a BOP 'n A Movie Feature Commentary for every Harry Potter film remains unbroken! For we have reached the penultimate entry in the series (technically!). An entry in which, every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark and moody cinematography attempt to depress the hell out of you! Then again, maybe seeing the young hero we've watched grow up before our eyes struggle relentlessly with Wizard PTSD is what's doing that. With this film, Steve Kloves returns, David Yates starts finding his groove, and we learn a whole lot about love... until we're reminded that love has an opposite, and it rears it's ugly head in one of the best gut-punching finales in cinema. So, take your liquid luck, crack open your potions book, and join us for the somewhat polarizing, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE!

It happened and you will WATCH IT AGAIN WITH US, DAMMIT. So, join Witchfinder General Cody, Hotel Manager Mike, and Grand High Bitch Jamie, as they talk about one of Anjelica Huston's best performances, the balance between whimsy and horror this movie masters, and the creature effects that still give us the willies to this day.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 14 Oct 2018 16:46:00 -0500

They say when The BOP Crew recorded this audio commentary for THE HALLOWEEN TREE, all the soda pop bottles in the world fizzled over. They could tell dumber jokes, analysis film better, AND eat more popcorn. Box Office Pulp, the greatest movie podcast that ever lived! According to their mother's. That whimsy aside, I don't know about you, but I smell pumpkin in the air, along with a tinge of last year's candy corn. 'Tis the season with the most reason! And to kick it off, it's our favorite of all make-believe holidays: Big-Ass Pumpkin Day! As every year, we celebrate with an appropriate jack-o-lantern-y flick, and this time, it's the aforementioned Cartoon Network adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic trip through Samhain's past!

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 16:31:00 -0500

A corrupt, invaded by Nazi's Government telling us what is and is not true, while also controlling what our children are taught? 2018 in America or Harry Potter film? Both, actually! The Room of Requirement has opened to us, revealing... a screening room! With ample seating so we may march onward in our retrospective study of one of the greatest franchises in cinema history. This time, Harry must step up in one of the most fascinating uses of the chosen one trope, as the series also meets it's Directorial stalwart for the remainder of the films, David Yates. But for the first and only time, Steve Kloves did not provide the adapting screenplay, and... well, we'll get into how it fared without him! Ignore all decrees by the Ministry of Magic and evil old cat ladies, and join us in this audio commentary for: HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 30 Sep 2018 18:44:00 -0500

Dear, loyal, trusted, passionate listener, we are going to ask you this... just... once... DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!? DID YOU!? Sorry, sorry. We shouldn't have come at you so aggressively, but the thing is, we're just so darn excited! Our special Potterific BOP 'n A Movie trek into Diagon Alley continues, and we've officially reached adolescence! Which means... THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT! The last full on whimsical time for our spectacled hero, as the series reaches maturity with a film that takes us both to the most joyous of heights the series is capable of, but also to the darkest of left turns, where, in the words of Hermoine... nothing will ever be the same again. So, roll up your sleeves and check your Death Eater tattoos, folks, because it's time for an audio commentary! And this port key takes us straight to -- HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE!

BLADE TRINITY

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 16:09:00 -0500

Blade... prepared for your franchise to burn out in supremely lackluster fashion? No? Well, too bad there, buddy! The time has come to complete our look-back on the highly influential and ass-kicking BLADE series, and what better way to end a series than with the least influential and ass-kicking entry possible! Yup, folks, we're delving into a tale of on-set meltdowns, sticky notes, bikers, lawsuits, and the secret origin of Deadpool, all to perhaps find out how, in La Magra's name, BLADE TRINITY came to pass. Turn up your mid-2000s iPod for this one, because our fangs are also located in our vaginas.

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 19:00:00 -0500

Turn this podcast to page 394. And while you do that, we'll be turning back time to 2004, to the third year of Hogwarts, as BOP 'n A Movie solemnly swears to provide an audio commentary for Alfonso Alfonso Cuarón's whimsical and spooky artistic achievement: HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN! Our deep dive into the tale of The Boy Who Lived arrives at the departing of Chris Columbus as Director. But, as you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light... or, in this case, hire the guy who made Yu Tu Mama Tambien to take the reigns. Appreciate the balls of this in context, folks. And boy, did it pay off! What Cuarón did both changed the series forever, and paved the way for studios to think outside their box. So, summon your trusty Patronus, ward off those Dementors, and stay the hell away from Buckbeak... he's very flinchy.

BLADE 2

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 16:55:00 -0500

You have no idea what podcast you are [messing] with! If that censored for TV version of a badass one-liner didn't tip you off, we're continuing our trip down bloody memory lane with our BLADE series retrospective, and we've reached the main course: Guillermo Del Toro's BLADE 2! In which, this time, our fave Daywalker must team-up with Ron Perlman and his cool vampire buddies to stop some vagina mouthed mutant bloodsuckers. There's other vagina stuff, too. Also, things in jars. Lots of things in jars. All the Del Toro staples are here, folks! Plus, Norman Reedus! So, how has the character of Blade evolved between entries? What makes Nomak one of the best villains in comic filmdom? Why isn't the fact Donnie Yen was totally a vampire ninja once brought up more!? The BOP Crew is here to answer these questions the Del Toro way -- with a graphic autopsy!

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 16:08:00 -0500

If you folks would look under your seats, you'll notice that we gave you all socks! You're now as free as Dobby! And hopefully less challenged. BOP 'n A Movie's Wizarding World Tour continues with the second year at Hogwart's, and the series first dark turn, in our audio commentary examination of Chris Colombus' HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS. The film that took the building blocks of the first and perfected it, representing why Colombus' contributions are sorely unappreciated.

BLADE

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 17:30:00 -0500

Some podcasts are always trying to ice skate uphill. But, thanks to SPF9000, the BOP Crew can Walk like a Daywalker to sink their fangs into all things BLADE! On this anniversary year for the Marvel movie that started it all, we're taking a look back at how a niche' goggle sporting Tomb of Dracula character became the baddest mother fu*ker on the planet. All the strengths of the action-horror genre, none of the weaknesses! Beginning with the time the writer of David Hasselhoff's Nick Fury TV movie and an untested British director teamed with that guy from Major League to burst the jugular vein of cinema, with 1998's BLADE.

Oh man, I don't know who's reading this. I gotta be more careful. Anyways, if you haven't gathered by that super hilarious bit of parody, The Crew is FINALLY appeasing the Ancient Ones by assuming their stereotypes of The Athlete, The Scholar, The Virgi-- oh, let's face it, we're all The Fool. Either way, the stage is set to wax poetically about Drew Goddard's THE CABIN IN THE WOODS! And to really get into the meat of this meta-horror masterpiece, we've invited Friend of BOP, journalist, author, wrestler, advocate, space scientist adventurer (might have made that last one up), and our very own Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain: Carter Lee!

As you can tell by CGI Cody feeding you wizard riddles, The Crew is logging on to The Oasis to talk Steven Spielberg's ode to pop culture - READY PLAYER ONE! We dig into the film's surprisingly nuanced approach to nostalgia, compare Ernest Cline's book to Zak Penn's nearly unrecognizable script, debate whether Wade Watts is a nice guy or a "Nice Guy", and remind ourselves periodically that, yes, Steven Spielberg directed scenes with THOSE characters.

Okay. Unlike Jennifer Lawrence's rotten luck with her house guests, we aren't tormented by guest co-host Adam Avitable, whom The BOP Crew welcomes into the fold for some much needed help in discussing Darren Aronofsky's downright nihilistic damning of pretty much everything: mother!

Tales From The BOP: THE MUMMY (2017)

Leave your bright and sunny universe behind and take a step into a Da-- oh, sorry, as I was typing that, that entire initiative was cancelled. ANYWAYS, you may no longer be able to wander the secretive halls of Prodigium again anytime soon, but you can wander the halls of Cody's Memory Palace! Come inside, kiddies, for a new installment of Taaaaales Froooom The BOOOOOOOP! In which films not on the "must see!" spectrum are retold to you by one of our illustrious Crew members, who took the plunge into movie muck so you don't have to! This time, Cody recounts, like an exposition spewing Doc Jekyll, that time a major studio buried themselves alive like so many Imhotep's by placing their Cinematic Universe hopes in the hands of a crazy, running in place Scientologist. Prepare for a world of God's, Monsters, perplexing plot turns, Tom Cruise being an asshole, and a Pyramid's worth of over-done flashbacks. It's the first and only Dark Universe entry -- THE MUMMY!

SOLO: A Star Wars Story

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 18 Jun 2018 15:55:00 -0500

Hiya guys, I'm Han Solo, and this is a podcast all about my very first adventure in outer space! Wow! It might be my first week as a smuggler, but I can tell I'm in good hands with the Box Office Pulp Crew. They told me they're gonna brag all about my best friend Chewbacca, and all the decisions Mr. Howard made when he was putting this wacky gang of ours together, and even about my new bud Lando and his wife! She's a really nice lady and also a robot, and that's a-okay with me, not like she's taking a job *I* want. Ha ha ha, I'm just kidding ya. If the rest of my career goes this wizard, they're gonna have to start calling me Han BUDDIES! I have a good feeling about this.

INCEPTION Commentary Track: Level 3

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 25 May 2018 17:14:00 -0500

Now, you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darlings. Unfortunately for us, and to a degree, unfortunately for you, as well, we dreamed big. Way, way too big. Welcome to the third level down. The grand experiment in Inception commentating continues, in which we annually provide commentary for the previous year's commentary. My head is spinning. This year, Saito has bled out, but we soldier on without him... and Cody's brought alcohol. So, for once, having to commentary a commentary is the least troublesome thing we must endure. In what might be BOP's most surreal recording yet, the Crew descends into madness and self-reflection as they have nothing left to talk about in regards to the film Inception, but are, for some reason, still doing this stupid tradition just for the joke of it. We're so sorry. But never say we haven't shed blood for our listeners.

Lay your head down onto the train tracks of your mind in an effort to wake from this hideous dream by downloading the commentary here!

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 10 May 2018 19:41:00 -0500

Dread it. Run from it. This episode still arrives. The BOP Crew have used the Eye of Agamotto to view 300,605 versions of this episode. We stay on topic for exactly... one. Good news! That's the one we're releasing, so you get all the spoilers, all the tears, and all the insane theories! What has this grand experiment in cinematic storytelling wrought? Mostly praise for how enthralling and filled with pathos THANOS of all characters is, but also a look into how the Russo Brothers pulled off the hat trick of living up to hype and showing off what the MCU is capable of with ten years behind it. After the Malekith's, Killian's, and Yellow Jacket's of the world, is it really a villain's story that becomes the perfect summation of the MCU thus far? It's AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR time, folks!

EVIL DEAD (2013) Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 19:44:00 -0500

The BOP Crew wants you folks to CUT IT! But if you've somehow managed to not read from a cursed book bound in human flesh and become possessed, then you're definitely ready to join us in this sojourn into the woods for this extra special BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary! Why so extra special, you ask? Because we find ourselves celebrating the five year anniversary of Fede Alvarez's supremely underrated EVIL DEAD remake! Entwined within this audio recorded in human blood, we delve into the aftermath of it's release, the abandoned franchise plans - including the crossover with Ash himself! - and the overlooked and hefty sub-textual themes of drug abuse, addiction, and self-destruction this film carries with it! Evil Dead deserves your respect, and if you don't give it, Mia WILL probably shove a chainsaw in your face.

Masters of the Cinematic Universe

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 19:30:00 -0500

Do you think this is the only movie podcast in the world? You've downloaded part of a bigger universe... you just don't know it yet. Unrelated to those ominous words, this episode sees The Crew taking a look at Hollywood's current obsession with the shared cinematic universe. Why does Marvel have such a monopoly on the concept, and what essential part of the equation are studios missing? What can be gained from such a complicated endeavor, and how have creators pulled off such feats in the past? And for God's sake, will Cody ever get over The Mummy? No. No, he will not. It's The Mummy.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 22:14:00 -0500

This episode is a rumor, recognizable only as another boring movie podcast, and dismissed just as quickly. It doesn't exist, it was never even recorded. Movie analysis is its name. Cinema its native tongue. We are above Itunes. Over it. Beyond it. We are madness. We are moxie. We are Box Office Pulp.
... but yeah, here's an episode on Men In Black where we talk about how important this was to a generation of audiences, marvel at just how unique it is in the pantheon of comic book movies, debate what could be done with the upcoming reboot, and Cody sings a nice song about men!

A lot of podcasts promise you entertainment, but only Box Office Pulp delivers protection from infection! In an all-new Mini-BOP, the crew takes a look at Ben Wheatley's 2017 Action-Thriller-Noir-Sitcom Free Fire, an unrestrained clusterf*** in the best possible way. Join us as we discuss its deft juggling of tones, Wheatley's increasingly impressive catalog of work, whether or not Sharlto Copley happens to be playing Skeletor in this film, and Cody's childhood memories of owning human flesh.

The Void (With CJ Draden)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 21:15:00 -0500

Put your white robes on, every-- wait, no, that's a terrible thing to say out of context. THE VOID! We're talking about THE VOID! Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski's tonal callback to the likes of John Carpenter, Clive Barker, and HP Lovecraft, all wrapped up in that beautiful indie-horror blanket that's kicking all kinds of ass currently! But that's not all this episode has! Because to talk all things monsters, skinless men, and cosmic horror, we've enlisted badass artist (and possible demon hunter) CJ Draden! Who discusses his philosophy on art, his career, his past graphic novels, and his upcoming graphic novel, THE ZERO MIRROR, which acts as his love letter to Greek Myth and magnum opus. Things get deep and personal in this one, ladies and germs!

GREEN ROOM

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 05 Oct 2017 20:26:00 -0500

Ever found yourself locked in a band's green room, surrounded by Patrick Stewart wielding neo-nazi's, and armed with nothing more but the enduring anarchic spirit of punk? Well, if you have, then I hope you walked away with less bodily injury than the characters of GREEN ROOM, the unflinching and brutal horror-thriller from director Jeremy Saulnier. The film that is the very topic of this very episode! From it's punk filmmaking styling, brutal violence, and the, unfortunate, skinhead-brimming themes and allegories that have boiled to the surface and become more poignant since the film's original release, the BOP Crew have become Odin himself to cover it all!

Spider-Man Homecoming

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 21:16:00 -0500

The BOP Crew wants to talk about Spider-Man Homecoming but they just can't get the podcast to deactivate kill mode! OH GOD WATCH OUT. Well, now that the murder is out of the way, we can tell you that we have the uncanny ability to discuss Spider-Man and Spider-Man related things way too much, so add that on top of how gosh darn excellent Homecoming is, both as a Spidey film and a film in general -- well, you're in for a doozy, folks. We can and WILL do whatever a Spider can! Which means ruining our lives by being burdened with an over-inflated sense of responsibility. But hey, you get a movie podcast out of it.

Mini BOP: BABY DRIVER

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 23:16:00 -0500

Get your glittery BOP iPod out because the Crew is here to drown out that hum in your drum! Edgar Wright has delivered yet another masterpiece with BABY DRIVER, and we're spreading the film discussing goodness allll the way to the edges on this one. We still totally found time to talk about Jon Hamm's amazing haircut, though. Now, if you don't see us again, it's because we're DEAD.

THE WORLD'S END Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 01 Jul 2017 19:33:00 -0500

After listening to this, we hope you sit there, blood on your knuckles, beer down your shirt, sick on your shoes, knowing you'll never listen to a finer podcast than this one. And you know what? You probably will. No one has ever been drunk enough to actually believe otherwise. But all the same, join us in this BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary for Edgar Wright's THE WORLD'S END! The final entry in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy. Mmm gotta love that blood and ice cream. Or in this case - alcohol! And copious amounts of it. Along with a side order of depression, arrested development, addiction, battles (figurative and literal) against societal conformism, and Bill Nighy as an alien overlord who may or may not have invented Starbucks. We get all kinds of ink on our hands dissecting this one! Plus, we prove why we always drink with a crazy straw. Not so crazy now, are we!?

WONDER WOMAN

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 21 Jun 2017 18:23:00 -0500

The year is 1918, and Box Office Pulp has been ravaged by the horrors of The Great War. So, what's a podcast about movies, madness, and moxie to do? Vacation! After plundering Doc Poison's notebook, the BOP Crew take off in their aero-planes for the island of Themyscira, where Princess Buttercup is training a legion of warrior women that are destined to emasculate us all - one of which happens to be the lead of director Patty Jenkins' WONDER WOMAN, the only DC Comics Film to actually be inspirational! But what will happen when Diana puts The Crew under the spell of her lasso of truth? Will they stick by the claim that their podcast is above average? Will James finally get to see a world in which women rule? Will MB, with his foppish British mustache, claim to be a God? And will this episode reveal, in-fact, the exact way that Mike is meant to die? All things are possible with the power of love and the dying thunderbolt of Zeus on your side!

The BOP Crew's Mary Poppins, ya'll! And we're here to save the galaxy for a second time -- well, actually, we're here to talk about other people saving the galaxy for a second time. We heart Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 so hard, you guys, and we gots ourselves oodles to say about the deep emotional and psychological turmoil everyone's favorite ragtag cosmic heroes went through for your entertainment! Join us as we explore the HEART of Kraglin, the balls on James Gunn to do literally anything he chose to do with this film, Kurt Russell's giant space-face, and our lamentation on just how wrong we were about StarFox being Star-Lord's dad. But, hey, could still be related! You don't know. We could be right about something one day.

INCEPTION Commentary Track: Level 2

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 25 May 2017 19:08:00 -0500

A year ago the BOP Crew made a promise. A stupid, stupid, stupid promise. That promise was to go deeper. How does one go deeper when it comes to commentary tracks? Why, you watch the movie while listening to your own commentary track and do a new commentary track over it! Crossed eyed yet? You should be. In this special - and you know what we mean when we say "special" - edition of BOP 'n A Movie, we're delving back into Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION, by way of ourselves! Will this second layer deep of film analysis bear even more secrets and subtext hidden within the film itself? Will the Crew lose their minds while forced to endure two and a half hours of their past selves attempting to sound smart? Will they somehow manage to crap on James Cameron's Avatar some more, apropos of nothing? Never say we didn't follow through on our vows to you, dear listeners. Even at the expense of our own sanity and joy. Let the grand experiment commence!

Who's ready to get sad? In a brand-new Mini-BOP, join the man known only as Mike and his pale, bandaged companion James, as they discuss the superhero movie that changed everything this year. In their journey through James Mangold's instant classic, they'll mourn the loss of father figures, try to figure out if Dafne Keen is or is not actually X-23, pitch several X-Men movies that will never happen, and ask the most important question of all: When will Onslaught strike again?

Congratulations, you are listening to Box Office Pulp. Please... do not resist. Too bad the BOP Crew can smell the lies! The deception! So, why don't you choke on your aspirations of doing something else this evening, and become one with the Force by listening to this BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary! And if you haven't picked up on the clues, we're doing ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY while the movie's still hot and fresh off the presses! Who will steal credit away from Cody's achievement? Will Mike go through with his murderous orders while wrestling with his own inner Latin charms? Is a fully CGI James disrespectful to the memory of the still living James?

In honor of the late Bill Paxton - acting legend, BOP Crew favorite, and all around damn great guy - we have christened these awards in his honor. Join us as we count down our absolute favorite deaths in cinema history (With the caveat that, yes, nothing else lives up to Hudson's blaze of glory in ALIENS. But what could?). Let's light the lights, take the stage, and duck the reaper's sickle to find out what celluloid death brings home The Golden Hudson!

The LEGO Batman Movie

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 23:26:00 -0500

In a franchise that has seen returns, forevers, rises, dawnings and beginnings, there's only one spectrum of cinema that The Caped Crusader has yet to conquer: multi-million dollar animated children's movies rendered entirely in tiny bits of plastic. But does THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE live up to the legacy it dares deconstruct? It's time to light the individual signals for movies, madness, and moxie, because The BOP Crew is on the case! But just how far is too far when it comes to satirizing Cody's beloved hero? When do the rose-tinted glasses of MB's youth fall away to reveal the sinister underpinnings of a so-called "superhero" who claims to have nine abs? What monstrous vehicle of The Dark Knight's terrifies Mike the most? All of these questions and more, including who does the sickest back-flips, are answered within!

THE SHINING Commentary Track (European Cut)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:24:00 -0500

Want some ice cream, Doc? No? Well, how about a BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary for Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece, THE SHINING! Also, no? Well, screw you, psychic kid, you're getting it anyway! For this one, the Crew heads to the secluded Overlook Hotel to get some deep cut film analysis done over the winter season, but per-usual, ghosts compel them to kill each other instead. It happens. But when not CORRECTING one another with an axe to the sternum, they do delve into things like the philosophy of horror, how exactly a director drives Olive Oyl to lose all her hair, which character's secret pimp coat may finally provide answers, and so much more! Oh, and Cody points out flags. Ride the blood elevator down and get lost in a hedge maze of impossibility with us on this one, folks. Just be wary, because all work and no play makes Box Office Pulp go... something, something...

Why, dear listeners, you've always been downloading this commentary... right... here.

DISCLAIMER: Due to error on Netflix's (and our) part, this commentary is for the EUROPEAN CUT of the film, which runs about 23 minutes shorter. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Through the use of CGI and various British actors, a fallen co-host is brought back to the Crew! Cody has returned from his pilgrimage, and he and Mike manage to not choke on their ambition long enough to absolutely love ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY! From Vader hallway fights, Donnie Yen trusting in the Force of Others, BOR GULLET being all BOR GULLET, and loving how the Star Wars Universe is no longer nothing but white (take that Alt-Right!), this episode also has us trying desperately to name five good prequel films from the history of cinema. Do we fail? Probably. But the important thing is we tried with the vigor and courage of a Jyn Erso desperately giving us some god damn HOPE, no matter the cost.

But the rest of the BOP Crew use their sling rings to hurl themselves through various Ditko inspired dimensions to bring you this episode all about Marvel's newest entry: DOCTOR STRANGE! How does the trippiest cinematic superhero yet improve upon his comic counterpart? Is Michael Giacchino's score the best of the MCU? (Yes). But most importantly, what happens when you put Benjamin Bratt, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Jimmy Smits in a room together?

Spit out your candy corn and put down your carving knives, because it's that time of year again! No, not that time of year! The other time of year, where the mighty Pumpkin lords over all that encounter it! It's another festive installment of (Big Ass) Big Ass Pumpkin Day, and the BOP crew once again has you covered for all things spooky and ooky. Perhaps even kooky? Madness, you may say, but the film we're watching this year represents everything that BAPD symbolizes: fake mummies, the titular giant pumpkins, and of course, a zombified Christopher Lloyd! It's The Big Ass Pumpkin Day presentation of the FOX Family original movie, WHEN GOOD GHOULS GO BAD. Featuring a live pumpkin carving by Cody! We're not joking. He... he really did that.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 22:36:00 -0500

Some films find an audience, become cult hits, and get some of that sweet lovin'. But then there are some that remain forgotten, never getting a second look. So, to call attention to some of these movies, the BOP Crew have made a list, checked it twice, and you are gosh darn gonna hear them out on this! It's our favorite UNAPPRECIATED/UNLOVED MOVIES in this episode! What whimsical terror involving Tom Hiddleston's butt will Cody bring us? What kind of SACRILEGE does MB have in store? Will James pack snacks as he tells us of a road trip through self-harm limbo? And through the hazy veil of the flu and a whole bottle of cough medicine, Mike attempts to coherently wax about cyberpunk and fails miserably!

FOUND FOOTAGE (TO THE END OF YOUR LIFE)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 20:02:00 -0500

RE: BOX OFFICE PULP, "Found Footage Episode," Archived 8-17-16:

A few weeks ago, the Crew of the Box Office Pulp podcast attempted to document an episode in which they would analyze, dissect, and discuss, the film genre known as "Found Footage." They have not been heard from since. Three days ago, a brown package arrived at our offices (The Kinnison County Sheriff's Department), inside was a recording of their final days spent researching the aforementioned style of movie. At first, it was noted that all seemed well; each member of the crew provided insightful comments ranging from the intimacy the genre produces, the affecting and sometimes terrifying tension that only Found Footage brings, the mistakes that are often made, a passionate defense of that class of filmmaking against detractors, and even whether a web series about Slender Man is better than an actual movie about Slender Man (we at the Sheriff's Department can confirm). But part way through the episode, the innate weirdness of the co-host designated Cody Alft appears to take physical form. What happens next is shocking, and highly disturbing. We are releasing this audio to the public in hopes of anyone out there having information to the last known whereabouts of the Crew. If you do, contact us at 1-800-BOP.

Download the harrowing finals days by clicking here. We at the Department found it quite entertaining, despite the grim sounds of evisceration's, and a lone, meticulously described scene of Mike Napier standing in a corner.

O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? Commentary Track

Damn, The BOP Crew are in a tight spot! And you will be too, if you don't sit down and give a listen to the latest installment of Box Office Pulp's very own commentary series, BOP 'n A MOVIE, celebrating only the classiest and cultiest of conventional cinema. And this month, Babyface Bank Robbin' Cody, Guitar Playin' Devil's Acolyte Mike, The MB of Constant Sorrow, and Loved Up Horny Toad James don't want Fop, god damn it... they're Dapper Dan men! Because in order to properly parlay a discussion on the careers and directorial stylings of cinematic scribes The Coen Brothers into a bona-fide commentary, the crew have to channel the gift of gab in order to revisit the Coens' folksy comedy epic, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? From the Soggy-Bottomiest depth of the unforgettable three leads to the film's connections to Greek mythology and beyond, this feature commentary is a suitor! So, tell us, audience: is you is or is you ain't our constituents?

Captain America: Civil War

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 12 Jun 2016 23:08:00 -0500

The BOP Crew are trying to stop Box Office Pulp from being torn apart... but Cody did that the moment he lost his original intro. It's an all out Civil War of the American variety, as Iron Mike and Captain Cody come to blows over what makes a good ratio of dick jokes, while a horrified Spider-James looks on from the distance, all of them made completely unaware that this discussion was only a scheme perpetrated by the surprisingly capable Baron MB. Just how many superhero puns can the group make when talking about Marvel Studios' latest summer blockbuster, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR? Come and find out, but you better be damn sure that you're bringing Mission Report, December 16th, 1991, with you.

INCEPTION Commentary Track

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 25 May 2016 21:30:00 -0500

There's something you should know about Box Office Pulp: we specialize in a very specific type of podcasting. Movie analysis podcasting. We're talking about commentaries. (WONNNG) We pick the film we want to talk over. We bring Cody into that conversation, and he fills it with his frogs. It's called "BOP 'n A Movie," and in this installment, we're watching Christopher Nolan's telescopic opus, INCEPTION! (WONNNG) Join Point Man Cody, Architect Mike, Extractor MB, and Forger James as they wade through obsessive internet theories, chart the career of one of Hollywood's most idiosyncratic directors, discuss the unrelated film "1941" for far too long, solve everything with magic, and set up the first layer of the greatest time loop in the history of broadcasting. (WONNNG) Will this last feature commentary be the one that gets MB home, or will he become an old man, filled with regret? (WONNNG) THE PODCAST IS COLLAPSING-- (WONNNG WONNNG WONNNG) BOP 'n A Movie: The podcast where Cody's mind is the scene of the crime.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE PART 2

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 11 May 2016 22:17:00 -0500

BOP is back with the finale of our two-parter all about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice! Where, of course, we do not really discuss Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But we do talk about the kinky bondage styling of Darkseid. Yup, we're continuing the plunge into the deep end of the comic reference pool, discovering all the bits and bobs that (maybe) inspired the movie -- up to and including every instance of The Flash exploding into light. It's one big fat BOP for you tonight, folks. Like, a BOP the size of the logo on Affleck's chest. Or something. I don't know. The important thing is, we detail Doomsday's comic book origin in detail. Prepare to go cross-eyed.

BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE PART 1

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 21:24:00 -0500

Tell Box Office Pulp... Do you listen to podcasts? YOU SHOULD. Specifically this one, in which the Crew... does not talk about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Well, they sorta do. But instead of the 800th conversation you've probably heard in regards to this movie, how about we talk about the vast comic book history that inspired it? A challenge to one member of the BOP Crew that was met in stride! The origins of Kryptonite? Bruce Wayne's drinking problem? The strange secret of Smush, The Multi-Manned Bat-Villain? What about the sheer unoriginality of KGBeast's imagination? All factoids and references are uncovered in this epic part 1 of 2! Man, comic books are weird...

CLOVERFIELD

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 23:29:00 -0500

After extensive research using deep sea probes AND orbital satellites, The BOP Crew can confirm that, yes, it's alive, and it is indeed huge. Whether or not it's Voltron is still up for some debate. What isn't up for debate is that CLOVERFIELD is one of the finest gosh darn found footage films this side of Tokyo! And The Crew has geared up to slowly trek their way through a Clover attack to bring you an episode where they both gush about it, and talk in-depth about 9/11 symbolism. Fun! So, do we uncover the mysteries of Seabed Nectar and the origins of Clover? Do we agree that Beth is too good for Rob because he's kind of a douchebag? How WILL Hud manage without his main dude!? And most importantly of all, do we survive the Kaiju rampage? Or do we get our helpless souls eaten by Voltron? It's Box Office Pulp... so probably the latter.

DEADPOOL

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 22:11:00 -0500

Oh, hello there. Perhaps you're familiar with my work; taco truck drag racer, international assassin, the asshole who went all Ken from Street Fighter on Kitty Pryde that one time. La piscina de la Muerte! The Pool of The Death! Or as the cover to my 1998 solo rap album reads, "$cams." But I, Deadpool, am not here to sell you on the several thousand unsold copies of "The Sun Soaked Streets of LA Through the Prism of A Genetically Altered Canadian: An Epic Acapella Rap," only 9.99. No! I'm here to tell you folks about my favorite podcast(right behind Nordic Food Lab), and the episode they've done all about yours truly! The BOP Crew is giving their Maximum Effort(copyright me) to talk about DEADPOOL: The Motion Picture. You know, the newest movie by the company who tried to kill me to the best of their ability. But like tuna, you can't rub me out despite my pasty taste. Anyways. They discuss everything, from their favorite jokes, how sexy and talented Director Tim Miller is(personal friend and cuddle buddy), to the long and arduous 10 year journey it took for my profanity laden adventures to hit the silver screen. Also, that one time Ryan Reynolds and I tried to transport Coors into Georgia. Enjoy!

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 20:51:00 -0500

Ah, Valentine's Day. Not only is love in the air, but also all the other heralds of the holiday: chocolate, those little candy heart things that everyone seems to enjoy so much, bouquets of red roses, flying entrails, gallons of blood, hallmark cards, and, of course, no V-Day would be complete without some gratuitous nudity. Okay, so maybe Box Office Pulp is celebrating a little bit differently than most, but the message is the same -- we love a good holiday themed slasher. So, to honor thy festival of love, the Crew is doing an episode all about how much they love the criminally underrated horror remake (by the always brilliant duo of Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer): MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D! D! D! D! D! That's a lot of D's.

STAR WARS EPISODE VII: THE FORCE AWAKENS

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 21:04:00 -0500

There has been an awakening... have you felt it? Here, point to the place on the doll where the Force touched you. That's right, boys and girls, Box Office Pulp is here to investigate the curious case of a Jakku native scavenger named Rey, an ace pilot and all around handsome dude named Poe, a former janitorial crew member turned defector (TRAITOR!) named Finn, and a very angry individual named Kylo - who hears the call of the light, but can't find anyone better to talk to about it than the corpse of Darth Vader. We're here to talk about the highest grossing movie of the last year, and perhaps the decade, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. And we'll be looking to understand answers to a great many questions troubling the fan community, from why Maz Kanata likes that wookie so much to where in the world Disney put the extra footage of Captain Phasma strangling the life out of a herd of Ewoks. But more importantly, how does the film stack up after all the hype? Where does it rank among the original trilogy? And just when can we expect those long overdue BB-8 microwaveable pizzas to hit your local supermarket? All these questions and more are answered as we take one last journey into a galaxy far, far away... (until the next one).

STAR WARS: THE PREQUEL TRILOGY

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 01 Jan 2016 23:43:00 -0500

Box Office Pulp has the high ground in this episode! So, don't try anything. In a world that has grown weary of Jar-Jar, midi-chlorian, and Jake Lloyd jokes, the BOP Crew emerges from the mist like Gungans... with a game! A game of POSITIVITY! That's right, younglings, we're doing the unthinkable by actually discussing the prequels critically, and tossing aside all the way too tired tropes to say, "Hey, there's still good in them... we felt it." Except Attack of The Clones though -- no matter your point of view, that movie is evil. So, hop into your Grievous-mobiles, there's points at stake! Yes, there IS actually a game, I was dead serious about that. Luckily, the Force is strooooong with Box Office Pulp.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Fri, 25 Dec 2015 22:02:00 -0500

They didn't put Box Office Pulp on a pedestal, so we're puttin' them on a slab! Once again, it's that wonderful time of year, where clown henchmen roast on an open fire, crazy women in cat costumes attack random pedestrians, hideous penguin men from the sewers re-emerge to incite mass hysteria, and the only one that can bring holiday cheer... is a creature... of the night. That's right, it's BOP 'n A Movie: Christmas Edition! And what a Merry Christmas we have for you this year -- with Gothic architecture galore, black sludge flowing from every orifice, and the nightmarish snow-coated landscape of the Gotham City Zoo, secretly housing the murderous Red Triangle Circus Gang! You know... Christmas! We're playing this stinking podcast like a harp from hell, because it's time for Tim Burton's 1992 box office smash, BATMAN RETURNS! Forward march, dear listeners!

From new hopes, to Empires striking back, to Jedi returning - we cover it all! Plus fond recollections of 'lil versions of your hosts playing with Dash Rendar figures.

Wes Craven may be gone, but his movies live on! So, come and do the monster mash with the BOP crew in this special memorial episode, celebrating the work and legacy of the horror maestro himself. There's the spine-tingling insanity of SHOCKER, the clumsy brilliance of SCREAM, the voodoo Bill Pullman hijinks of THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW, and whatever the hell is happening with THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS. Nightmares will never be the same without you, Wes!

JACK-O Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Celebration)

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 01:24:00 -0500

The smell of pumpkin-spice everything is in the air, the leaves are changing color, and Big-Ass Pumpkin Day celebrations are blooming nationwide! (Well, maybe not that last one, but we’re working on it.) To kick off BAPD 2015, the Box Office Pulp crew provided a live commentary on the torturous 1995 monster movie JACK-O. Boasting an IMDb score of 2.7, you know it has to be good! (No. No it’s not.) But to save our sanities, we used the time to develop a much better movie. Can you say “post-apocalyptic world populated by Jason Voorhees' and clans of final girls”?

We would very much like to see you listeners wearing some nice BOP buttons in the vein of "Where's the Beef?" But... that's neither here nor there. If our spooky executioner hoods haven't scared you off yet, you should come join us this balmy summer night circa 1969 as we watch this often-forgotten true crime epic.

We all experience failure from time to time. And when that failure concerns animal people, voodoo magic, pig lady orgies, and Albino Brando, some of us have to go to a Necromancer named Skip for a little help. Join the BOP Crew as they delve into the documentary, LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY'S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, and narrowly avoid being replaced by John Frankenheimer in the process.

Tales From The BOP: NEKROMANTIK

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 21:16:00 -0500

What lurks behind this seemingly normal german apartment window? Allow a still shell-shocked Mike to spin a tale of love, low budgets, and the depths of sexual depravity for you and the rest of the BOP Crew. Even though NEKROMANTIK pulls back the satin sheets from it's sexy, sexy grave and invites you into it's crisp blu-ray re-release -- do not! Don't make the same mistake I did! Run! Run! RUN!

Mike, James, and Cody gather to discuss the Studio Ghibli's animated classic Princess Mononoke. With eyes unclouded, they attempt to discuss the Miyazaki masterpiece without falling into the pitfalls of hate. Or the dark catacombs of IMDb. Or tangents about C.H.U.D. Their mission is hopeless, but at least they get to go out remembering that time when Keith David voiced a giant, pissed-off boar god. What more could they ask for?

Tales From The BOP: WOLFEN

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Sat, 29 Nov 2014 23:38:00 -0500

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may get stuck watching WOLFEN when the VHS player blooms and the autumn moon is bright. On this new BOP segment, Cody recounts his harrowing encounter with the kinda-sorta werewolf movie WOLFEN to the rest of the crew, preventing them from a grizzly fate of actually having to watch this train wreck of a movie for themselves. It’s a descent into hell, horror, time-warping runtimes, and a nude Edward James Olmos in the very first TALES FROM THE BOP!

Only the most crucial topics of the season in this special BOP of the Dead!

Ooga-chaka ooga-ooga ooga-chaka! The Box Office Pulp team is hooked on a feeling... that GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is the best film of the summer. In this episode, the crew weeps over Vin Diesel's gravel-tinged voice, realizes that this is the closest cinema will ever come to getting a Captain Planet movie, and marvels (Did we already use this joke for Cap'm America 2? Box Office Pulp doesn't care!) at Thanos and his rocket-powered concrete chair.

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:22:00 -0500

In this Deadite fueled Mini BOP, James and Mike make a startling discovery in some Kandarian ruins, read from a book bound in human flesh, and end up getting way too familiar with some demonic tree branches, if you know what I mean. Our personal lives aside, rev up your chainsaws and CUT IT, ladies and gentleman, because in this episode we discuss the remake of the horror classic, EVIL DEAD.

The Wolverine

We're the best at what we do, and what we do is talk about movies. Join one half of the Box Office Pulp Crew, Mike and Alex, as they journey to Japan, go up against the Yakuza, fight ninjas led by an evil snake lady, and discover whether or not they are truly man... or animal. Which is just a clever way of saying: On this edition of Box Office Pulp, we discuss the adaption of the classic comic book arc, and cinematic return(and revival) of everyone's favorite Canuck played by an Australian -- THE WOLVERINE.

The agents of Box Office Pulp return to face their greatest foe yet... themselves! Also, their own short attention spans and their inability to agree on a hero ranking scale. Can they set aside their differences long enough to discuss the biggest comic book film around? Probably not!

Well, actually, that's just a dream they had once. In reality, they gasp with excitement as they discuss and go ga-ga over the film/web-series Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Axios!

Man of Steel

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 04:53:00 -0500

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's the vanishing hopes of the audience expecting to see a post-credit scene! Hero, MB, and Flexo attempt to do some sit-ups before realizing that it's impossible to be more manly looking than Henry Cavill. After giving that up, they gush about THE MAN OF STEEL for an hour. Superhero fans, come on down!

The Mini BOP returns! This time around, MB and Flexo go Into Darkness. And Star Trek. But mostly, they spend 40 minutes fighting the urge to repeatedly say the word "Cumberbatch."

In this first ever edition, Mike and James get down, dirty, and full of menstrual blood as they plumb the depths of insanity to discuss the indie horror film family drama psychological thriller Excision!

The Dark Knight Rises Part 4

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Wed, 15 May 2013 23:44:00 -0500

The legend ends! And by that, I mean we finally reach the end of our Dark Knight Rises episode. Maybe Trident-Man hangs up his prosthetics and calls it a day. Maybe Nolan is a genius for making the jerkiest version of Batman to grace cinema yet. And maybe we'll be done talking about the Dark Knight for a while (No, no, and no, respectively).

The Dark Knight Rises Part 3

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 02 May 2013 02:06:00 -0500

Box Office Pulp rises! MB, Mike, James, and Flexo pull on their Kevlar spelunking gear once again to wage battle with Christopher Nolan's epic conclusion to the Dark Knight trilogy. Not only should you brace yourselves for spoilers, but for the black hatred of scorned fanboys... even as they attempt to focus on the positives.

Also!

It may be December, but the Box Office Pulp crew is still cranking out their Thanksgiving discussion. This time around, MB puts everyone else to shame with his eloquent praise for Highlander and Cody fawns for James Bond (more so than usual).

Thanksgiving! Part 1 of 2

boxofficepulp@gmail.com (Cody Alft, Jamie Lewis, Mike Napier) — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 16:21:00 -0500

It's the best time of the year for those of us who are cranberry sauce addicts. That sweet, sweet, nectar of the gods... Anyways, in honor of the holiday, MB, Mike, James, and Cody discuss some of the films they are grateful for. During the first episode, we go from Japan to Nicolas Cage as Mike and James give us ten films we shouldn't watch with the family after the turkey is served, but should savor all the same.

Welcome back to Box Office Pulp. In this episode, we wrap up our discussion on Prometheus. Are there answers out there? If the engineers aren't God, who is? Just how do you pronounce Giger? We don't know. BUT! Mike does tell us more about Norse mythology than we can shake a Mjolnir at, and we all agree that Michael Fassbender makes all the ladies swoon.
