Feature Presentation: Theatrical Rereleases in the Post-Strikes Era - If you haven’t noticed there have been more and more older films being put back in theaters as movie theaters deal with the impact of the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. It’s somewhat similar to the period of time when movie theaters attempted to reopen during the pandemic, and there just weren’t enough new films to play throughout the day in each auditorium. Here we talk about some of the films we’ve seen during this strike-impacted period, what films we hope to see on the big screen in the future, and what incentives studios/movie theaters can provide audiences to get us off our couches and into a movie theater to watch our favorite films again (or something we’ve never seen before) the way they were meant to be seen.

Post-Credits: As Spring Turns to Summer (At the Box Office) - It’s time we start preparing for our Summer Box Office Pool as the Winter/Spring Box Office Pool enters its final weeks. Can Murph or Corey come through with a wild comeback as they still have some R-Rated films such as Civil War, Abigail, and Challengers left to go?

Feature Presentation: The Year of Barbenheimer Comes to a Close - In a year defined at the cinema by Barbenheimer, and an inevitable amount of Oscar wins coming Oppenheimer’s way this weekend, it’s time we each pick what we’d like to see win in every category for the films of 2023.

Post-Credits: Our Spoiler-Filled Thoughts on Dune: Part Two - As the world finally got to return to Arrakis, it’s time we discussed how well Denis Villeneuve followed up Part One of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic. We also touch upon its week at the box office and how it has changed the game for our Winter/Spring Box Office Pool.

Feature Presentation: Our Favorite Films Of 2023 - In what was by far the best year for film since we started this podcast, we reveal each of our five favorite films of the year. It’s got something for everyone. International features, popcorn fare, epic dramas, innovative animation, comedies, and horror. These might not be the best films of the year, but they were all really damn good, and we’ll be watching them for years to come.

Post-Credits: The Calm Before the Spice Storm - With Dune: Part Two opening, it was time to take one last look at how the Winter/Spring box office and our box office pool picks for the season were performing, before the epic drama on Arrakis became all that mattered to moviegoers.

Post-Credits: The Box Office Needs Dune: Part Two - Things have been bleak so far as three of the films drafted in our box office pool have struggled to make $1 million and a first round draft pick was a major letdown. However, there were two bright spots to kick off the year, while 2023 holiday holdovers and awards season films did their part to keep the box office somewhat afloat in 2024.

Feature Presentation: Live Breathe Films’s 2024 Winter/Spring Box Office Pool Draft - It’s time to predict the biggest films for the first four months 2024, which is looking to give audiences a severely depleted selection of films for audiences to choose from due to the dual strikes of 2023. While actors can promote their films normally unlike much of the second half of 2023, there are only so many potential blockbusters and films in general for these actors to promote. Do we think any original films will break out? Which established franchises do we believe are losing steam with audiences? We’ll share those thoughts and more as we make our picks.
