  1. BEG (2011) Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

    BEG (2011) Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

    Scoop out the guts, carve out the eyes, scoop out the guts... oh, hello there! Dont mind me, just preparing the family's plus-sized gourd for Big-Ass Pumpkin Day, the only remaining holiday Hallmark hasn't gotten its grubby fingers on! This year's attraction is a slasher movie so you better believe we found it on Tubi, 2011's Beg. Its the provocative story of a small-town cop and his favorite clone batch tracking down a serial killer with a pumpkin on his head, murder on his mind, and... a shifting ethnicity? What? Join the crew for a commentary as murky as the woods this was filmed in, where Tony Todd finds himself entangled in middle-American domestic drama and also a stab man, they spend a bold amount of time discussing sexual awakenings via the Slenderverse, and Cody once again makes an ungodly mess on his desk in the name of spookiness.

    HOUSE OF WAX (2005) Commentary Track

    It's Wax Season here on Box Office Pulp! Just in time for the release of her new book Millennial Nasties, we welcome back friend of the show Ariel Powers-Schaub, and what better to discuss than one of the nastiest of the era, Disney's Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collet-Serra's House of Wax. For BOP n' A Movie's second trip to the Dark Castle, this commentary track goes back to a time when everybody wanted that Leatherface money, and you could market a film based on watching Paris Hilton die. Maligned by many genre fans on release, the most 2005 movie of all time also boasts some of the best body horror the decade, practical effects that are still chilling to behold, and the last great location from a studio once dedicated to keeping sets alive. Grab a seat (made of wax) and listen to the first of our love letters (of wax) to an oft-overlooked sub-genre (it's wax). Pick up Ariel's best-selling book, MILLENNIAL NASTIES: ANALYZING A DECADE OF BRUTAL HORROR FILM VIOLENCE here https://encyclopocalypse.com/products/millennial-nasties or wherever you get books!

    DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE

    It is 2006. I am watching Hugh Jackman's last appearance as Wolverine. It is 2017. I am watching Hugh Jackman's last appearance as Wolverine. It is 2024. I am writing a description of the BOP crew's episode on Deadpool & Wolverine, the former's introduction to the MCU, and the latter's last dance with a beloved actor... who are we kidding, he's doing this till he's 90. Does Ryan Reynolds still bring the Van Wilder charm as Marvel's new golden boy, or is it too late for the Multiverse Saga: Now With Less Kang? How does a character often defined by an inferiority complex work as a mouthpiece for a dying era of film? And just how hard did those credits make us cry? Wade wouldn't give you answers, so neither are we. Hey... remember when Deadpool's caption boxes ended up being Madcap? Wild times! https://www.boxofficepulp.com/ Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/apple Listen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotify Listen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazon All The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listen Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/ Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp

    HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS

    With studios less sure how to reach audiences by the day, only one film has the answer to what people truly want: HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS. In the newest movie from Mike Cheslik and the team behind Lake Michigan Monster bring us a new descent into whimsy and madness in a film so ridiculous, we're convinced it stars Cody. Join Mike and Jamie as they talk about this delirious swirl of live action cartoon, silent(ish) movie, harrowing survival tale, XXX-ed jugs ,and 16-bit farming sim (not kidding), HUB might be the most creative movie of the year, the funniest movie were seen in ages, and without a doubt the best movie ever made on the subject of man's battle against mascot suits.

  5. THE EXORCISM

    JUL 13

    THE EXORCISM

    What an excellent day for filming an exorcism. THE Exorcism, in fact! And that's the closest thing to a joke you're getting, because the duo behind The Final Girls is back with another deeply personal-- and far much colder-- look at a young woman connecting with a parent in showbiz. Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin team up with Russell Crowe and a seemingly endless list of character actors to tell the story of a newly-sober man trying to get himself on the right track by taking what could be the role of his career, the priest in a remake of a famous exorcism movie, no matter what demons from his past it may awaken. Unable to win respect at home or on set, dodging a well-intentioned holy man, a director more interested in getting a rise out of him than his acting, and an alleged "curse" that's already claimed one actor, it's the perfect environment for a man to lose himself... or be found.

    Millennial Nasties + TERRIFIER 1&2 with Ariel Powers-Schaub

    They're on the screens! They're in your home! They SHOULD be on your mind! Extreme cinema, exploitation, video nasties, whatever you call them, they take theaters by storm once every generation, and tonight we're wringing this moral panic for all it's worth! With the help of returning guest Ariel Powers-Schaub, the BOP Crew charts how the films detailed in her new book Millennial Nasties took inspiration from the gross-out cinema of the eighties to define the torture porn of the 2000's, before a chat about how those boundary-pushing themes are alive in the current king of modern nasties, Terrifier 2. Tangents along the way include Film Theory: Art The Clown Edition, a brief meeting of the May Canady Appreciation Society, and the secret origin of The Sham Wow Guy.

    SPEEDardy!

    Surprise test, hothead! Just when the BOP crew thought they could enjoy some much-needed R&R, they're pulled away from their vacation to stop a madman threatening to destroy everything we hold dear: their co-host! Welcome to SPEEDARDY, the game show where the velocity is made up and the pedestrians don't matter, organized by Quizmaster Cody to test the limits of his friends' knowledge of the Jan de Bont crowd-pleaser... if only they had actually watched the movie beforehand. Will Mike get the girl, or will it be Jamie who discovers how few relationships based on intense experiences ever work out? Will we learn why Willem Dafoe needs a bathtub of leeches to fight off his Computer Sickness? Will ANY of this actually circle back to the 1994 blockbuster Speed?! Probably not. STEP INTO THE PODCAST THAT WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN BY LISTENING HERE!

    SAW X Commentary Track

    With the Oscars behind us, many are taking a second look at the remarkable stories from last year that have been tragically overlooked by the academy. Tonight, Box Office Pulp would like to spotlight one such story, that of a humble engineer who forgot to cherish the little things, until a surprise diagnosis introduced him to a new hobby, a new gal, and a new lease on life. Before he can finish his life's work, though, he must rail against an uncaring medical system and stop the exploitative business practices of a corrupt institution, or else this will be one jigsaw puzzle left unsolved! In their final BOP n' A Movie audio commentary track on the series-- until next year, sat least-- the crew have finally reached Saw X, the John/Amanda reunion America didn't know it wanted. Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith are back in the playhouse, the script is free to set up absolutely nothing for a sequel, and there's an actual budget this time around, so does the THIRD return of a franchise that doesn't believe in letting itself die finally recapture the gruesome magic fans have been longing for since the original trilogy? If the words "we have a rope" mean anything to you, then you already know the answer! JOIN HOFFMAN'S EPIC BACON PIRATE NINJA MEME PAGE BY DOWNLOADING HERE.
