Broke Box Office

This podcast is a travelogue now, sorry.

If you are a fan of classic noir filmmaking, great acting, and hilarious dummy usage, you might like The Lineup from 1958.

It's a game where you tap little things on your phone while a song plays until you can't anymore unless you pay money.

We brought our dad back for this episode to explain to us all the religious backstory and references going on in the 1999 classic goofy stoner comedy Dogma.

The way things have been going something like this might actually happen at the Oscars in a few years. The Flying Sailor (2022).

Come on in and check out this great movie about a town being terrorized by a carnivorous beast while those in charge want to keep news of the attacks hushed up so they don't lose money. It's called Jaws. Oh wait, I mean Jaws of Satan (1981).

Welcome back to the show this week, where we're hanging out, down the street, watching the same old thing, we did like 15 years ago. That 90s Show.

Okay the title is a little unwieldy but who am I, John Darnielle? Talking about The Mountain Goats, and their 2022 album Bleed Out specifically.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, Donald Duck Time! Donald's Snow Fight (1942)

It just wouldn't be the holiday season without us buckling down and watching some terrible crap, so join us this year as we feast our eyes upon the 2017 low low budget classic Santa Stole Our Dog: A Merry Doggone Christmas! The best way to induce unease and fear in your children for Christmas.

Take a sci-fi journey with us to the far off future year of 2022. Blade Runner Black Out 2022 (2017).

We continue our yearly tradition of spectating spooktacular slash-em-ups this week with the 2001 horror sci-fi action comedy classic Jason X. Unfortunately this episode got frozen in a cryogenic mishap so it's coming out a few days late.

Also known as Basically Just A Library: The Jaunt. (1981)

We continue our yearly spookstravaganza this week with a more low-key creepy entry, the 2015 horror mockumentary Savageland. Luckily our mom is back again to keep us from being too scared.

A cautionary tale about the dangers of trying to remember to floss. Beau (2011)

Kick back and relax with us this week as we watch a movie that is both fun and good for once, the 2016 living off the land comedy classic Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Apologies to any New Zealanders listening for our terrible accent work.

This short film is dynamite! Peluca (2002)

Put on your backwards hat and grab your skateboard as we go undercover this week as highschoolers in the '90s to see what the fuss is with the 1999 romantic(?) comedy(?) classic Never Been Kissed. A movie that should've been called something like, I've Been Kissed Before But I Didn't Really Like Those Guys So I Don't Count Them.

This one is about balance. Balance (1989).

Get out your best headphones for this one, as we are checking out the beautiful music of the 1982 flute-playing slasher classic Blood Song. At least until halfway through the movie when he stops playing the flute altogether.

Apologies for the unannounced break, we both got stuck in the upside down! And by that I mean we both got Covid. At least it gave us plenty of time to binge watch tv shows, like Stranger Things.

In which we talk a little about this short and a lot about John Carpenter in general. Captain Voyeur (1969).

Come join us at this dimly lit diner as we have a cup of coffee together and discuss the 1995 clash of the titans classic Heat. We got a.... GREAT EPISODE. And you got your ears ALL THE WAY ON IT.

Welcome to a very special episode with an in-studio guest and a movie that isn't free and people might have actually heard of. Basically everything's all wacky and wild, just like this movie, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022).

The only episode of our show where you might actually learn something. The Reading Rainbow episode Opt: An Illusionary Tale (1991).
