Box Office Bucket List

Everyone's favorite Ranking show is back!  This time Adam is ranking which trilogy was the best. He loves them all but which ones take the fall!   See you on the flip side!

In this episode our four hosts do a deep dive on the 2020 movie: Dinner in America. With this being Tim's pick, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected. If you like Punk Rock, masturbation, polaroids, and a story with a deeper meaning then this movie is right for you.   The gang discusses their takes on the movie, its themes, and its underlining powerful message. Simon is an arsonist and the mystery lead singer of PSYOPS, while our other main character Patty is your average girl with overbearing parents in the suburbs. They have an unlikely connection, even before they meet, but they find meaning in each other by the end.   If you don't fit in anywhere else you are still punk rock to me.     THE BUCKET LIST The Way The Cabin in the Woods Orgazmo Grind Split Dr Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox The Turk Swallows Trilogy Spaceballs   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/crafty-crime

They debate heels, babyfaces, and whether big moments are being wasted or earned. Along the way they trade blunt opinions, nostalgia-driven takes on WCW/WWF history, and hot takes about gimmicks, Hall of Fame choices, and missed opportunities in wrestling storylines — all with the rough, unfiltered humor of a late-night fan chat.   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/airstream/classic-rocker

On this episode of Box Office Bucket List the hosts—Tim, Andrew, Adam and Katie—go head‑to‑head in a lively debate over two sci‑fi comedies: Spaceballs and Evolution. Each presenter defends their pick by breaking down characters, the supporting cast, opening scenes, plot structure, love stories, and the best jokes. The conversation is fast, full of interruptions and crude humor, and ranges from detailed character and cast comparisons (John Candy, Rick Moranis, David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Julianne Moore and more) to whether a film’s originality or parody roots make it stronger. They also argue pacing, practical vs. CG effects, and whether belly laughs come from penis jokes or a giant butthole gag.   THE BUCKET LIST The Way The Cabin in the Woods Orgazmo Grind Split Dr Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox The Turk Swallows Trilogy   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/crafty-crime

The four of them discuss what was in these movies, who created these movies, and why we believe they never received a widespread release.    We will leave the links to the trailers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF06qD6666w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shsCHeeD2jg   Hopefully with the platform and the fans that this podcast has, we can finally hunt these films down and put them in the Criterion Collection like they deserve.

We make our through key plot points like mall attacks, a flying creature that snatches a shoplifter, a mosquito‑like parasite, and a turkey‑head monster.
