  • These people will endlessly complain about the death of the movie theater and then get super mad when a movie they don't like does well.

    I like movie theaters I want them to continue to exist but It's like listening to 70-year-olds talk about the phonograph. So long.

    Huge Chen head from way back, tuned in for that reason. He is barely allowed to chime in?

  • Poorly Edited

    Episodes are so heavily edited that it’s become nearly impossible to follow a single train of thought. One person speaking will abruptly fade into someone else speaking before they can even finish a sentence. Hosts talking over one another becomes clipped audio mush with zero clarity. It’s a mess.

  • Found the best Box Office podcast

    I have been looking for a box office podcast that provides information and a bit of commentary rather than commentary with a bit of information. I heard Scott on BO Boys and loved him. (Do NOT subscribe to BO Boys, by the way…just a couple of guys who love to hear themselves talk and provide very little insight and even less useful or interesting information.) Scott and his terrific friends give us everything we need to stay up to date on what is happening in the movie world. Nice concise chats ... more
