The MovieBabble Podcast

The latest film in Legendary's MonsterVerse left much to be desired, despite plenty of monster action. Still, it took the top spot at the box office, raking in a solid international number in its first weekend. But will it have the legs to continue its success in the coming weeks? Or will challengers knock it down? We discuss this and much more in this week episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!   Ho...

'Aladdin' has a green splat on Rotten Tomatoes, but that didn't stop it from earning over $100 million at the domestic box office over the Memorial Day weekend. We dive into all that Aladdin has to offer, from horrifying CGI to memberberries. In other news, both 'Brightburn' and 'Booksmart' opened near each other at the four and five spots in the box office. The group covers their prospects moving...

'John Wick: Chapter 3' had sword fights on motorcycles, Keanu Reeves on a horse, and attack dogs -- what else could you possibly need in a movie? It seems that many felt that way, as 'John Wick 3' was the lucky film to finally overtake 'Endgame at the box office with a strong $57 million and change, almost doubling the opening weekend of 'John Wick: Chapter 2." But not everything was as lucky as t...

'Endgame' is well on its way to passing 'Avatar' to become the highest grossing movie of all time. But in the meantime, 'Detective Pikachu' gave the superhero giant a run for its (literal) money and earned back its production budget and then some in its first weekend at the box office. What do future weeks hold for this film? Will it have good legs? Will 'UglyDolls' make a serious comeback and bea...

'Endgame', the little engine that could, continues to rack up crazy numbers after becoming the second highest grossing movie of all time in just two weekends. But the question remains: does it have the energy to beat 'Avatar'? Collin and Brennan discuss this possibility, as well as films in the coming weeks that could hurt its chances. Elsewhere, the team breaks down 'Long Shot', 'The Intruder', a...

'Avengers: Endgame' is the movie event of the decade, maybe even of all-time if the box office receipts continue as they are currently after one week. The culmination of everything in the MCU so far broke every major box office record, earning approximately $350 million DOMESTICALLY. We discuss this Earth shattering total and more, including whether or not it has a chance of beating Avatar's world...

You remember the Guillermo del Toro 'Hellboy' movies. They were whimsical and darkly odd (just like every other one of del Toro's movies). But now we have 2019's 'Hellboy'...oof. The reboot failed in just about every respect, earning a Rotten Tomatoes score of less than 20% and losing to 'Little' at the box office. Pour one out for Lionsgate. In other realms of movie news, we have a new Star Wars...

'Shazam!' was a delightful flick, and it led to what Warner Bros. will most likely call a delightful return on their investment. It appears that DC is finally on the right track...for now. (Don't screw it up!) In other news, 'Pet Sematary' left audiences a little cold, which will probably lead to lower grosses in the coming weeks. And 'Dumbo' continues to exist...and not much else. We break this a...

'Dumbo' flew into theaters this weekend (sorry, bad pun) and wrestled the top spot away from Jordan Peele's 'Us.' Just one question: did it have to cost $170 million? The team breaks down the curious case that is Tim Burton's 'Dumbo' as well as Nick's odd and overzealous love for Harmony Korine's 'The Beach Bum' and the messy Twitter situation that surrounds Pure Flix's 'Unplanned'... and so much...

Jordan Peele is officially a brand name as 'Us' delivered the second-highest opening ever for a live-action, original film. The horror flick more than doubled the 3-day opening gross from 'Get Out' just two years ago. This movie is a BIG deal. In other news, Disney now runs the world, so plan accordingly for how you'll submit to your media overlord.   Hosts: Collin Willis and Brennan Dubé Join the...

So 'Captain Marvel' continues to be a big deal around the world, as the $1 billion mark at the box office is well within grasp after just two weekends of release. Other new releases like 'Wonder Park', 'Five Feet Apart', and 'Captive State' simply stood no chance. Collin and Nick tackle these topics and more in this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast, including the return of James Gunn to G...

Captain Marvel shattered most industry expectations this weekend at the box office, soaring to a $455+ million worldwide gross while putting to rest much of the bad (and unnecessary) press surrounding the film leading up to its release. All things are good for Marvel Studios (what else is new?). We talk also A24 movies, more Tyler Perry, CatVideoFest 2019, and much more this week on The MovieBabbl...

Well, Green Book won Best Picture, which helped it reemerge in the box office picture...and sadden both Collin and Nick who got a bit off their chests in the middle of this one. But luckily there were other things to discuss, such as how Tyler Perry continues to laugh all the way to the bank. Plus: Captain Marvel predictions! Hooray!   Hosts: Collin Willis, Nick Kush, and Brennan Dubé Join the Mov...

Thanks, How to Train Your Dragon! You gave us something to talk about this week. The box office continues to struggle in 2019, so we moved on to more important topics, such as how the Academy probably screwed up this year at the Oscars. All this and more on this week's episode.

Surprise! 'Alita: Battle Angel' is a flop (probably). This President's Day weekend marked the lowest output on the weekend since 2004, with many films underperforming. Basically, the sky is falling and movies are forever broken. Are we all doomed? Is there any movie that can save us? Is the pod as annoying as this intro? You'll find out all these things and more in this week's episode! Join the Mo...

After a multi-week long hiatus from anything of note, the box office has returned in full force with four movies having a wide release over the weekend. Most of them did okay, some of them did a lot worse. We cover it all and even look ahead to next weekend on this episode of the MovieBabble Podcast!
