Box Office Shuffle

Two of our three hosts have never watched Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, so what better time than now to check out a Miyazaki classic? Does the English dub do this film justice? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the Shuffler is putting us back in a New York groove for 1998's Godzilla, or 'Zilla, from Roland Emmerich! Does this late '90s disaster 'epic' deserve a spot on the pantheon that is Godzilla? Or does Toho have it right by all but disowning the film and it's lead monster? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A billionaire involved in a conspiracy with the Supreme Court? Is this 2026 news, or an adaptation of John Grisham's 1992 novel, The Pelican Brief?

Travel back to 2005, when there was definitely not a corporate induced economic collapse on the horizon.

Oh, and also rank your favorite Jim Carrey movies in your review! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're diving into the world of DC Comics animation on this episode of Box Office Shuffle, specifically Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths from 2010.

Keanu Reeves as a cynical demon hunter with nothing left to live for? Sign us up please, because this weird DC Comics adaptation has no right to work as well as it does, even 20+ years later. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can you handle the truth? We sure hope so, because we're kicking off season 4 with a classic from Rob Reiner, A Few Good Men.

Giant blue appendages, latex suits, and a whole lot of slow mo action scenes, must be a Zack Snyder film.

This week the Shuffler gave us The Godfather Part 2, and much like the first film, Chris and Thomas had never seen it before.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's nearly Halloween, which means it's time for supernatural movies! This week the Shuffler gave us ParaNorman from Chris's collection! And Thomas and Joe hadn't seen it before!

Warp back to 2001 to one of the most famous, or infamous, portrayals of intellectual disabilities Hollywood has produced starring Sean Penn, Dakota Fanning, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

The Shuffler has given the crew A Quiet Place from 2018. Does this John Krasinski helmed film stand up as a classic? Let us know below. And for real, how did this movie lose to Bohemian Rhapsody for Sound Editing? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're kicking off season 3 with the 2019 hit Pokemon: Detective Pikachu starting Ryan Reynolds and Justice Smith. And two of our three Shuffler hosts hadn't yet seen it either! Does it capture the nostalgia, or is this another game adaptation best ignored? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Turn back the clock to 2019, COVID hasn't happened yet, and Rian Johnson just put out one of the best performing "whodunit?" mysteries of the modern Hollywood era. A stellar ensemble, clever writing, and a great character in Daniel Crag's Benoit Blanc make this is a fan favorite that easily earned it's sequels. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Batman Begins didn't start the comic book movie wave, but it certainly elevated it to new heights thanks to director Christopher Nolan and a star-studded cast behind Christan Bale as the Caped Crusader.

The Shuffler is taking us back to 2009 for Push, starring Chris Evans, with a fun little sci-fi/superpower movie set in Hong Kong.

Tune in to find out the answer to both! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

28 Years Later is right around the corner, and this week the Shuffler gave us 28 Days Later, the original film in the series from Danny Boyle. Some may call it fate, we call it a good excuse to watch a zombie classic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
