Episode 56: Catching That Early Buzz

This episode brings us to the midpoint of the summer box office and the news isn’t good for a number of films (and studios.) After that though, Sergio Mims returns to bring everyone more stories and new Blu-rays. He also talks with Erik Childress about how early buzz can affect one’s view of a motion picture ranging from Donnie Darko to La La Land and how occasionally a fresh perspective can alter one’s opinion. 0:00:00 – 0:01:58 – Intro 0:01:59 – 0:25:16 – Summer Box Office (Mid-Season Report) 0:25:16 – 1:48:26 – Blu-rays with Sergio Mims 1:48:26 – 1:50:48 – Outro Blu-Rays/DVDs Covered Twilight Time (Another Woman, You’ll Never Get Rich, The Fortune Cookie, How To Steal a Million) Lionsgate (La La Land) Shout Factory (Man of La Mancha, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Serial Mom, Chicago Cubs Game 7) Magnolia (I Am Not Your Negro) Paramount (Hawaii Five-O, Vega$) / Coronet Blue Arrow (Donnie Darko) This is a public episode.
