John Carter (Of Mars) - LOVE THE BOMBS

Mars ain't no place to set a movie. In fact, it's cold as hell. This is a lesson Andrew Stanton would learn in 2012 when the release of his dream project, a mega-budget adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' massively influential John Carter novels, was met with spectacular apathy from critics and audiences alike. Released a month before The Avengers, this mocap-heavy sci-fi/fantasy/western was going to kick off the next great Disney franchise, but inexperience, bad timing, and one of the most ill-advised marketing campaigns in recent memory doomed it to the scrap heap. A shame, since it's one of the most charming and lovingly-crafted adventure flicks of the last decade. In this edition of How I Learned To Love The Bombs, we detail how a Pixar director with no live-action experience rescued John Carter from 80 years of Development Hell, the trilogy and more we almost got from a team with three Oscars and a Pulitzer between them, Lynn Collins' turn as the 2010's most unsung action heroine, and how this movie is one Ocean Master away from just being Aquaman.

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

In today's troubling world, we need real heroes now more than ever. That's why we're glad to report that a new icon has risen to inspire America in its darkest hour: Mysterio, the star of Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home. Listen to us rave about how Jake Gyllenhaal brings the iconic inter-dimensional traveler known as Mysterio to life, the surprisingly relevant themes his character represents, and what the developments he brings to the table mean for both Spider-Man and the MCU at large. In a world where Into The Spider-Verse exists, what does this movie do to step out of the shadow of a cultural touchstone, and how does it all, in the end, come down to Mysterio? Only by listening can the truth be found!

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

We're in the spoilers game now. But besides "whatever it takes," what do we actually do now in a post-Endgame world? Disney+ shows? Mysterio's Big Adventure? A sequel to The Incredible Hulk? No, the exchange of souls needed for that one would be too great. Ten years have taken us from "We're Iron Mongers, Tony," to "The Staff of The Living Tribunal," from Whiplash's bird, to Killmonger's Oscar nomination, and every stunt-casting in-between. While we mourn the loss of being really, really hyped for Endgame, we also go over what we loved about this ending of a cinematic era (that isn't actually ending), it's surprisingly subtle adaptations of comic scenes famous and obscure, the return to the indie sensibilities that once defined Marvel Studios, how it's themes capture and distill the profound message of Marvel both in print and in film, and, of course, The Red Skull. Mostly we talk about Red Skull. What he's thinking. How he feels. What he tastes like. It's kind of a problem.

You downloading this episode is... inevitable.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

Dread it. Run from it. This episode still arrives. The BOP Crew have used the Eye of Agamotto to view 300,605 versions of this episode. We stay on topic for exactly... one. Good news! That's the one we're releasing, so you get all the spoilers, all the tears, and all the insane theories! What has this grand experiment in cinematic storytelling wrought? Mostly praise for how enthralling and filled with pathos THANOS of all characters is, but also a look into how the Russo Brothers pulled off the hat trick of living up to hype and showing off what the MCU is capable of with ten years behind it. After the Malekith's, Killian's, and Yellow Jacket's of the world, is it really a villain's story that becomes the perfect summation of the MCU thus far? It's AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR time, folks!

Not feeling so good? Download the episode now to hopefully still exist tomorrow!

Spider-Man Homecoming

The BOP Crew wants to talk about Spider-Man Homecoming but they just can't get the podcast to deactivate kill mode! OH GOD WATCH OUT. Well, now that the murder is out of the way, we can tell you that we have the uncanny ability to discuss Spider-Man and Spider-Man related things way too much, so add that on top of how gosh darn excellent Homecoming is, both as a Spidey film and a film in general -- well, you're in for a doozy, folks. We can and WILL do whatever a Spider can! Which means ruining our lives by being burdened with an over-inflated sense of responsibility. But hey, you get a movie podcast out of it.

Wanna be the guy in the chair? For the love of Ned, download the episode here!

Captain America: Civil War

The BOP Crew are trying to stop Box Office Pulp from being torn apart... but Cody did that the moment he lost his original intro. It's an all out Civil War of the American variety, as Iron Mike and Captain Cody come to blows over what makes a good ratio of dick jokes, while a horrified Spider-James looks on from the distance, all of them made completely unaware that this discussion was only a scheme perpetrated by the surprisingly capable Baron MB. Just how many superhero puns can the group make when talking about Marvel Studios' latest summer blockbuster, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR? Come and find out, but you better be damn sure that you're bringing Mission Report, December 16th, 1991, with you.

RIP 2013

Join the Box Office Pulp crew as they bury 2013 with a roller-coaster of a podcast. From an impromptu game show to a possible future filled with tiki torch slashfiction, we give 2013 the send off it deserves. Be warned, the entirety of the year will be spoiled! (Pacific Rim dies, Jack kinda slays some giants, and the evil dead are, in fact, malevolent.)

Disney's Marvel's Joss Whedon's Avengers (Assemble)

The agents of Box Office Pulp return to face their greatest foe yet... themselves! Also, their own short attention spans and their inability to agree on a hero ranking scale. Can they set aside their differences long enough to discuss the biggest comic book film around? Probably not!
