    EP244 | Why Horror Dominates At The Box Office | PULP KITCHEN PODCAST

    Horror is dominating the box office... but why? From low-budget breakouts to billion-dollar franchises, horror has become one of Hollywood’s most reliable and profitable genres. In this episode, we look at why audiences keep showing up for scary movies, how horror filmmakers turn tiny budgets into huge profits, and why the genre continues to outperform so much of the rest of the box office. We dive into the biggest horror hits, the franchises that keep printing money, and why horror has become such an important proving ground for new directors and filmmakers. So… why is horror doing so well when everything else is struggling? 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:30 - Why Horror Dominates At The Box Office 00:35:05 - Emails 00:55:53 - Game Tickets to our pub quiz: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pulp-kit...

    EP243 | The Best Films That Flopped At The Box Office | PULP KITCHEN PODCAST

    Some of the greatest films ever made were box office failures. This week, we're looking at the best films that flopped at the box office. From Fight Club and The Shawshank Redemption to Children of Men, The Big Lebowski, Donnie Darko and more. Why did these films fail? Were they badly marketed, ahead of their time, released at the wrong moment… or simply misunderstood by audiences? And what does a film's box office actually tell us about its quality? We're breaking down the biggest box office bombs, the films that found their audiences years later, and the movies that prove being a flop doesn't necessarily mean being a failure. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:08:18 - The Best Films That Flopped At The Box Office 00:54:03 - Emails 01:10:15 - Game Tickets to our pub quiz: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pulp-kit...

    Revisiting Game Of Thrones S1-4 | PULP KITCHEN PODCAST

    In this episode, James is taking George back to where it all began and revisiting the first four seasons of Game of Thrones, arguably some of the greatest television ever made. How well does the show hold up today? Is Season 1 still as brilliant as we remember? What makes the characters, world-building and storytelling so compelling, and where does the show fall short? We dive into the biggest moments, best performances, most shocking deaths and unforgettable episodes, while asking whether the first four seasons really deserve their legendary reputation. And, with the benefit of hindsight, just how big was Game of Thrones? Was it simply a hugely successful TV show, or one of the biggest cultural phenomena in television history? We revisit everything that made Game of Thrones appointment television. How good is it really? And does it still stand among the greatest shows of all time?
