MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS (2017)

Our name is Box Office Pulp, and we are probably the least professional movie podcast in the world. Which is why we're so upset that our relaxing train ride has been interrupted with murder most foul! We actually have to record an episode when all we want to do is read Dickens and eat cake. So, in an episode where everyone - yes, even you, dear listener - is a suspect, The Crew curls their double mustaches for a sit down chat about Kenneth Branagh's superb adaptation of Agatha Christie's whodunit masterpiece, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS! How did Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green give us a new, laser focused contextualization of Hercule Poirot, a character as legendary as Mr. Holmes, but whom gets none of the credit, all without re-inventing him from the ground up? What of the Old Hollywood filmmaking the film gifts us? The acting porn packed into one long tube of A-Listers? How the film take us on a philosophical sojourn while still giving us Willem Dafoe with a silly accent? And how has the history of the mystery informed storytelling to this day? The answers are FULL of the fudge! But, like, in a good way. Not that fudge is usually diabolical.

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Commentary Track

A corrupt, invaded by Nazi's Government telling us what is and is not true, while also controlling what our children are taught? 2018 in America or Harry Potter film? Both, actually! The Room of Requirement has opened to us, revealing... a screening room! With ample seating so we may march onward in our retrospective study of one of the greatest franchises in cinema history. This time, Harry must step up in one of the most fascinating uses of the chosen one trope, as the series also meets it's Directorial stalwart for the remainder of the films, David Yates. But for the first and only time, Steve Kloves did not provide the adapting screenplay, and... well, we'll get into how it fared without him! Ignore all decrees by the Ministry of Magic and evil old cat ladies, and join us in this audio commentary for: HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!
