The Breakdown of the Summer Box Office & A Major Announcement
Christopher Spicer is flying solo this week, but he still found a way to talk for over an hour. Verbose much? He has a big announcement to make about the future of the podcast and pays tribute to his wonderful co-host of over a decade and a great friend for even longer, Scott Martin.
He then looks at the summer box office and analyzes why he thinks certain movies were hits and others missed the mark. Always a fun time for those who love some good ol' movie talk. -

The space epics continue with the Denis Villeneuve helmed 'Dune Part Two'. Adam Sandler is in space as well in 'Spaceman'. Then we end with another movie that looks towards the stars but this time on earth but still with just as much fantasy in the animated feature, 'Orion and the Dark'.

Awesome!
Scott’s dulcet tones and Chris’s quirky humour is like listening to a couple of friends banter while relaxing on the patio. Their knowledge and personal transparency has kept me going on a few long drives.
Intelligent!!
It is a pleasure listening to two fellas who have an obvious love for movies... AND know what they are talking about. The speak intelligently and without overt unexamined bias. Chris and Scott will help you understand and appreciate every movie genre! So good.
It changed the way I look at movies
I thought this podcast was entirely devoted to the movie Breakdown (the 1997 thriller starring Kurt Russel). So I was a little disappointed at first by the lack of Kurt Russel or Breakdown related content. However, after listening to a few episodes, I began to learn what movies actually were. I've learned to dissect character arcs with Chris and identify tropes with Scott. It turns out that other movies are a complex and beautiful storytelling medium, not just Kurt Russel's 1997 classic thrill-ride Breakdown.
