Broke Box Office

Put away your striped sweaters and knife gloves everyone, as this week we are disappointed by the 1986 not-even-a-Nightmare-on-Elm-Street-ripoff snoozefest Dreamaniac. Experience the true horror of throwing a party and not a lot of people showing up!

Come see how many different ways we can pronounce Wes Anderson. Bottle Rocket (1994).

Put on your best red biker jacket and come on down to the local dystopian barcade where this week we're talking about the 1988 cyberpunk anime classic Akira. A beautifully animated movie that's a joy to just look at until all of a sudden it way isn't.

What do you got there? Oh, uh, this is a gallon of The Whitest Kids U' Know.

Grab a slushy (or maybe some mineral water) and come hang out with us this week as we discuss 1988 actual cult classic Heathers. Just a regular style teen movie about some cool people dealing with some bullies in a normal type way.

If you see Gregory Peck, you're watching the wrong one. The Gunfighter (2014).

Come with us this week on a daring adventure, out from our village to the barren wastes of the fantasy film genre, where all we can find is the 2011 SyFy original Curse of the Dragon. Also known as Jabberwock, which if we had known beforehand we might've looked for something else.

You gotta. Fight For Your Right (Revisited) (2011).

Grab your supply bags and ready your questionable weapons everybody, this week we contend with the 2000 classic dystopish thriller Battle Royale. In the midst of this violent film, we come to discover that the most painful weapon of all is the human voice.

Come for the heavy metal, stay for the hammered weirdos. Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986).

We're this week's big losers, so our punishment is to watch a terrible old movie made by one of the Impractical Jokers guys, the 1998 biblically bad Damned! Who do you think would win in a fight: this movie or our will to live?

Just wait for the video podcast version of this episode! II: An Unspoken Narrative (2021).

Get those thumbs ready for biting, and other such Shakespearean references, this week we're talking about Great Performances Season 48 Episode 17, Romeo & Juliet (2021). This one's got a wild twist ending you definitely won't see coming!

Step right up and centrifuge your brain! The Centrifuge Brain Project (2011).

Come help us clean up the streets this week as we take a few pointers from the 1983 crime-fightin' classic Vigilante. A movie featuring not that much crime, and even less fightin'.

Hand over your crowns. Double King (2017).

Things get a bit heated this week as we grapple with a movie seemingly made by total assholes, the 2014 documentary with no conclusive title about some lineworkers doing a Navy SEAL training course. If you feel like you wanna stop listening halfway through just remember- never quit or you're a weak piece of shit.

Turn your computer into an art museum with Zachary Epcar's Return to Forms (2016).

On this episode we try to enjoy the great laffs and gaffs of the classic 2006 madcap manic comedy Funny Money. Apparently it started as a play, and it probably should've remained one.

And the Oscar for Short Film We Decided To Cover On The Podcast goes to... Feeling Through! (2020)

We're dropping more names than usual this week as we flex our film analysis muscles by watching and ruminating on Alfred Hitchcock's 1946 classic thriller Notorious. If you see any large rappers you're watching the wrong one.

Just calm down and enjoy it, you know what I mean? 2 in the AM PM (2006).

This week we bid adieu to a band that we are both casually familiar with by watching their bizarre 2003 anime album film Interstella 5555. Just hope no goldenboys are listening to this.

Our mom is back to see if we learned anything from all the educational Christian kids' shows we watched growing up. Specifically, Are You My Neighbor? (1995), Larry-Boy! And the Fib from Outer Space! (1997), and Madame Blueberry (1998).

Come listen in this week as we question the science and the story of the 1982 techno thriller Murder by Phone. Hope you're not listening to this on your phone or it might explode and blast you through the nearest window!
