THE GREAT FUN "BEST OF BOX OFFICE GROSS 2005" GIVEAWAY SPECTACULAR
@boxofficegross.bsky.social has an email! BoxOfficeGROSS at gmail dot com (yes, somehow this was available). Send us an email with anything about the show, the run of 2005 films we covered, or some other weird, lava hot, ice cold, appealing or unappealing take and you may win a gift from us!
19. Take 3! Over the Hedge has a couple of good bits but is basically incoherent and smarmy. Watching a movie like this is real dedication to podcasting for its own sake. check out @boxofficegross.bsky.social as they bring people on to talk about the top 50 movies of 2006, good or (mostly) bad.
We also go deep on the dipshit tao of Ben Folds, including an incredible musical addition by @wormsgreenrealm.bsky.social, who puts in the WORK here on an episode that barely deserves it.
This way so much fun, and Charles helped us make a real entertaining ep out of a real loser movie. Check it out!
Other topics of conversation include Don Orsillo's "Slam Diego", Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, Charles' desperate sprint to finish the film on time and my equally desperate, "draftable" sprint to fix my daughter's car in the middle of recording.
We discuss the film's bizarre voice cast, its' tepid, boring social commentary, and its stilted attempts at humor more perfectly suited to the four-panel set-up/punch-line payoff of the comic strip its based on.
FOLKS, this week @boxofficegross.bsky.social is ROCKIN' THE SUBURBS: we grab the great @ugarles.bsky.social, on his 52 Week Pod Challenge, enlivening what is otherwise a real uninspiring entry in our project, the weak, sloppy animated satire OVER THE HEDGE.

Also you guys are not ready for how much conversation this episode of @boxofficegross.bsky.social has about different states’ emissions procedures when it comes to renewing auto registration tags
FOLKS!
Coming THIS MONDAY (4/20 BLAZE IT BROS) to @boxofficegross.bsky.social !!! :
Get over it.
*doffs cap*
Labuza!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted a shitty movie from 2006, and for my sins, they gave me one.
Had fun discussing this extremely middling blockbuster movie! Check it out!!!!
Other topics include rogue waves, the rise of the PSP, "the Runtime Ruffian", the curse of torrent viruses, "Drunken Jackasses: The Quest", and a lot more!
I was thrilled to finally get Peter on the show, and we had so much fun talking about a completely nonexistent flop. CHECK IT OUT!
We delve into the hows and the whys of this misguided enterprise, the bizarre history of the Poseidon Adventure IP, Petersen's odd career, the DEEPLY strange cast, especially the brief rise and fall of Josh Lucas: Leading Man, its comically brisk pacing, its wonky CGI, and everything in between.
FOLKS, this week @boxofficegross.bsky.social SETS SAIL!
We finally get our great pal @labuzamovies.com on the show to discuss Wolfgang Petersen's strange, intermittently visceral, justifiably utterly forgotten would-be epic POSEIDON!

FOLKS! Coming THIS MONDAY (Apr. 13th) to @boxofficegross.bsky.social!!:
...Mayday.
Just learned Sable Adelaide, who I shout out in our Wedding Crashers episode of @boxofficegross.bsky.social, is fundraising for relocation and transition costs. more info in attached image
Hello is this website on now? I went on @schmanthonyp.bsky.social and @wormsgreenrealm.bsky.social's @boxofficegross.bsky.social to talk about Barry Sonnenfeld's demented and mostly forgotten 2006 Robin Williams vehicle RV, so if you were wondering why I logged that movie on Letterboxd, now you know
We had SO much fun with this episode, we absolutely could not contain ourselves, 160 minutes of pure mania and @jjdotbiz.bsky.social was such an awesome guest, we had such a rollicking blast.
Other topics include fighting raccoons, radial wipes, white boys making some noise, Robin Williams' inability to turn himself off, GOOD LUCK CHARLIE, the treacherous joys of traveling through Colorado, CHUD interviews, and the magic of Sony Pictures' Core streaming service.
We also discuss the film's inexplicably stunning widescreen vistas, contrasted with the bizarrely stunted pacing and even more inexplicable emotional resonance, as well as the clever trick of emotional perspective the film plays with its delightful supporting cast!
We delve into the entire history of director Barry Sonnenfeld and his string of curious decisions throughout the making of this film; Rob read MULTIPLE biographies to prepare, uncovering an astonishing, disgusting pivotal moment in Sonnenfeld's life and career that manifests grotesquely in this film
FOLKS! This week, @boxofficegross.bsky.social HITS THE ROAD! We pick up @blankcheck.bsky.social’s excellent research @jjdotbiz.bsky.social to pick apart Barry Sonnenfeld’s demented, absolutely maniacal, and sort of touching(???) family road trip comedy “RV”!!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
FOLKS! Coming THIS MONDAY (April 6th) to @boxofficegross.bsky.social!!!:
On a family vacation, no one can hear you scream.
(You are not ready for this movie. You are not ready for this episode. I’m so hyped for you guys to hear this!!)
It's always a rollicking treat to have the Massacre boys on and we had so much fun fuckin' chitchattin' 'til the sun came up yet again. CHECK IT OUT!
We discuss the film's one good sequence (a leadoff SAW parody with Shaq and Dr. Phil), followed by 100m of stone-face tedium. We delve into the much better films being homaged, GIRLS NEXT DOOR completism, an inexplicable run of mid-level rapper cameos, and a marathon treatise on THE BOOF OF HENRY.
This is a series with basically zero defensibly good movies but two films near and dear to our hearts because of their ragged, youthful charm. Unfortunately, we're covering the lifeless, inert fourth installment in the franchise.
FOLKS! This week @boxofficegross.bsky.social GETS A LITTLE SILLY!!
We call back the rowdy boys of @weeklymassacre.bsky.social to help us pick apart the SCARY MOVIE franchise, up to and including the boring mess that is SCARY MOVIE 4!!! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/2...
This legitimately rules so hard lmao 💪💪💪
A shelf of DVDs at Goodwill l. They’re all films our podcast Box Office Gross has or will cover—The Holiday, Casino Royale, Exorcism of Emily Rose, Failure to Launch, Crash, etc. plus a flyer with Will Smith posed as in his Hitch poster but instead on the title “Box Office Gross”
Putting my money where my mouth is and have initiated viral advertising for @boxofficegross.bsky.social at some of my local Goodwills
A thrift store DVD shelf showing past and future BOX OFFICE GROSS subjects Click, Cheaper by the Dozen 2, The Interpreter, The Longest Yard, The Da Vinci Code and Coach Carter all in a line.
A photo showing just slightly to the right of the previous row, showing Superman Returns and Sin City as well.
A third shelf nearby showing DVDs of Flightplan, The Interpreter and Sahara all nearly exactly next to each other.
No matter what shelf you look at…
…there we are.
Signed, @boxofficegross.bsky.social
