Box Sets

Brian and Tim wax on some favorites, though Tim makes obvious Men in Tights isn't his favorite Brooks film. A secret is revealed about how Brian almost couldn't use Back to the Future Part II. And Cary Elwes is inducted into the "Three Episode Club" beating out Samuel L Jackson on a technicality (Mr. Jackson has been in three films on the pod, but only two episodes. Only a matter...

Brian and Tim are here to tell you that we're aware of the hiatus we've had, that we wish it hadn't happen, to explain why, and to let you know that it will never, ever, sometimes, happen again. This one's short, not all fun, but mostly fun. Especially when you hit our patreon page: patreon.com/boxsetspod Thanks so much for listening!

The first episode to feature an animated film! And Brian and Tim reminisce delightedly about the best of the original Turtles movies, TMNT 2. Also, the guys have great ideas for future Despicable Me and Minions movies that should definitely be considered by Illumination. TIMECODES: 00:06:09 - Despicable Me 3 00:28:32 - TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze 01:03:00 - Connections

Brian is the first to fire a torpedo into a set Tim had planned to give at a later time by giving Terminator 2 as part of this set. Can Tim find the connection to Anchorman? --TIMECODES-- 00:04:25 - ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY 00:25:29 - T2: JUDGMENT DAY 01:07:58 - CONNECTIONS

The new season is only a short time away! Listen as Tim and Brian talk about what's new and hear as Brian is dealt his fate while Tim earns an advantage.

A week late, but not a weak date. Brian sums up Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (Careful, it's got roller skating!) and The Princess Bride. Chemistry, it seems, is a must for Brian when it comes to romance and at least Westley and Buttercup have inconceivable amounts of it. Scott Pilgrim... not so much. --- TIMECODES 00:01:50 - SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD (VS. BRIAN) 00:38:33 - THE PRINCESS BRIDE 01:1...

We both love doing this podcast and it takes a lot for us to delay an episode, so we thank you all for your understanding for the delay.

Brian and Tim talk through the first set of romantic films for Box Sets: Date Night! Tim wends his way through 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith and 2023's Molli and Max in the Future (A Box Sets favorite, we might add). Love (and bullets, and fish people, and explosions, and trash dimensions) are in the air. Also, listen and judge for yourself: Did Brian basically indicate that he thinks Casper is a ro...

Brian and Tim announce the final special set of episodes before season 2... Just in time for Valentine's Day.

Tim runs through The Ref and Trading Places. Our hosts agree one aged well and the other not so much. Also, Tim and Brian have different takes on watching Dan Aykroyd, dressed as santa and drunk, chow down on some questionable smoked salmon. TIMECODES: 00:06:08 - The Ref 00:31:04 - Trading Places 01:21:18 - Connections

First, we apologize for the late drop. The films in this set are about Santa and we know he would never deliver late (Or could he??) and we regret that we couldn't be more like Santa. In this episode, a lot was left to the cutting room floor. But what remains is Brian's tactful coverage of Get Santa and Ernest Saves Christmas. There's confusion about the British penal system. And Brian can't figur...

Brian and Tim are back for another set of special episodes because 'tis the season. Get details on the episode drop dates, what the first set is, and enough bonus banter to last an entire cup of cocoa.

Brian delivers impeccable rundowns of The Babadook (2014) and Pan's Labyrinth (2006). Also, nothing says spooky season like jokes about kids tying up their murderous parents.

Tim breaks down Brian's box set of Fallen (1998) and Constantine (2005). Complete with a host showdown over a couple contentious connections! Also, at least one very obvious connection was missed by both sides - see how many you can find! ----- TIMECODES: 2:25 - Fallen 38:00 - Constantine 1:14:04 - Connections 1:26:55 - Next Set

Brian and Tim will be doing 3 sets of special episodes before season 2. Listen for more details and to hear the first box set.

Brian and Tim reflect on the joys and pains of season one and also discuss upcoming bonus episodes and the future of Box Sets.

Brian and Tim end the season with all comedy and, strangely, all four films featured jokes about peeing.

Brian wants more transactions from the record store and Tim wants everyone to know that movies are just words on paper, directed. **Don't forget to comment on whether Tim gets a point for "Bad guys can see the future."** --- TIMECODES 1:20 - Empire Records - Brian 33:21 - Idiocracy - Brian 56:24 - Brian’s connections 1:10:55 - Matrix Revolutions - Tim 1:47:37 - Madame Web - Tim 2:19:...

Well. We're humans. We error. We might be a little superhuman, as we're capable of some pretty big errors. As we'll discuss in this episode of "Not Box Sets," we've had a slew of first-time-podcaster mistakes, but this last one really threw a wrench in the works. Thanks for hanging in there with us, Listeners!

Brian gets to experience how it feels to like both films Tim gave him and you, the listener, have to weigh in on some scoring. TIMECODES: 00:01:36 - Zoolander (Brian) 00:25:35 - The Royal Tenenbaums (Brian) 00:52:28 - Brian's connections 01:09:31 - Mission to Mars (Tim) 01:39:07 - The Abyss (Tim) 02:06:55 - Tim's connections

Brian reeeeaaally doesn't care for Tim's choice of romantic comedies. And Tim has a fixation on people's need for food in action movies. TIMECODES: 02:30 - The Truth About Cats and Dogs - BRIAN 30:45 - Roxanne - BRIAN 1:00:58 - Brian's connections 1:14:42 - The Running Man - TIM 1:45:23 - Demolition Man - TIM 2:14:30 - Tim's connections

Tim's going to say something a few times in episode 2 and Brian explains what Tim's talking about. (Something Brian has to do more frequently than Tim likes to admit.)
