156: Box Office Report (1/29 – 1/31)

This week lots of lessons are learned. Tom teaches Joe how time works. Joe teaches us that all Coast Guard movies are the same. And Dan teaches us how to sneak into a movie theater Three Stooges style. Except he probably calls it “the picture show,” or a “nickelodeon,” or something – because he’s old. […]

155: ‘Dirty Grandpa’ Starring Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Aubrey Plaza, Julianne Hough

It’s a painful episode as we are subjected to ‘Dirty Grandpa’ – a movie so debased that even Creepy Joe was put off by it. January’s not even over and we have a serious contender for worst picture of the year. It’s crass, offensive and aggressively unfunny. So if you enjoy it when we hate […]

154: ‘Dirty Grandpa’ Box Office Report (1/22 – 1/24)

The Revenant still tops at the box office. Star Wars is closing in on a billion dollars domestic, but it will probably never be the world champ. We’ll tell you why, plus Tom will teach Joe what a cough is, something makes Kevin cringe audibly, and we ruin The 5th Wave for you because it […]

Disney NEWSIES Delivers at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis (January 19-31)

Extra! Extra! Read All About It! It has been probably twenty years since I watched the 1992 film Newsies, starring a 17-year-old Christian Bale as Jack Kelly – the leader of what would become known as the “Newsboys Strike of 1899.” Aside from starring the future Oscar-winning actor, and being directed by Kenny Ortega, there […]

153: ’13 Hours’ Starring John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, David Denman

John Launius is back to talk about 13 Hours. He spends the bulk of the time explaining the C.I.A. to us like we’re third graders (which is for the best). It might get a little “Art Bell” this week but it’s a fascinating conversation about how the government might (or might not) work. And if […]

152: ’13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi’ Box Office Report

We’re joined by John Launius from Vidzu Media and formerly of The John & Kane Show and 105.7 The Point’s Joe & John Show. We turn in our most concise box office report effort… also, Joe is out this week. We’ll let you draw your own conclusions. Also, Star Wars is the box office champ […]

151: ‘The Revenant’ Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson

This week’s show was recorded before The Revenant got all that love from the Academy Awards, so ignore all that “Will Leo get an Oscar nod stuff.” The film is set in the early 1820s, which explains why Joe talks about the advancements in SD card technology. We also have all sorts of questions. How […]

150: ‘The Revenant’ Box Office Report (1/8 – 1/10)

Star Wars is still number one at the box office, but that doesn’t mean The Revenant can’t make money too. We’ll drill down on how it did and what it means. Plus, in a burst of creative energy, Tom offers a movie deal to David O. Russell and suggests a Reel Spoilers spin-off. And if that’s […]

149: ‘Joy’ Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper

Kelly Manno is back to discuss Joy. Do you like patent law? Do you like mops? Then you are in for a treat. You know it was a rough one when we spend the first five minutes talking about other movies. This week you’ll learn one Tom’s least favorite film tropes and Joe learns the […]

148: ‘Joy’ Box Office Report (1/1 – 1/3)

We’re joined this week by Kelly Manno from the aptly titled Kelly Manno Show. It’s a freewheeling exchange as Star Wars is still #1, Kevin sullies the memory of Abbott & Costello only to then invite Joe to discuss both professional wrestling AND Rhonda Rousey. It’s like Kevin doesn’t even listen to this show sometimes. […]
