Mini BOP - SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS

It's time to scream the lyrics to Hotel California incoherently at some Razor Fisted assassins, because the BOP Crew is harnessing the power of magical microphones found in a cave thousands of years ago in order to gush about Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings! The kung-fu/superhero/fantasy we didn't know we always wanted. Simu Liu, Tony Leung, and Still Going By Awkwafina round out Marvel Studio's best cast in years, but are they given the screen time they deserve, or  is this a roster of Koraths and Malakeths? And is there anything at all to Death Dealer besides the cool mask? What's pulled from the 70s comics and what's been left on the problematic curb? You'll find out the answers at our side, dear listener. Oh, thank God you're real.

BLACK WIDOW

This episode has many, many pockets. Each pocket filled with more and more thoughts on Marvel's BLACK WIDOW! At long last, since being the best thing in Iron Man 2, battling an insane comic book publisher President that didn't want a movie starring a girl, and constantly being delayed by a global pandemic, Scarlett Johansson and Natasha Romanoff finally gets her epic day on the silver screen and we have joy to share! Along with breakdowns of the dark themes the film has no qualms with tackling, Cate Shortland's superb direction, and most importantly... Red freakin' Guardian.

Wonder Woman 1984 Is Good, Actually



Grab your magic stone and wish for better hosts, because Mike and Jamie are talking about Wonder Woman 1984, the Christmas Day release that marked a new era of digital distribution for Warner Bros. and their new HBO Max streaming service, much to the chagrin of studios and some audiences. But beneath the controversies and the twitter roasting lies one of the most original and far-reaching superhero films in ages, and your hosts have a lot to say about the movie's themes of self-truth, the relevancy of its message and how the movie succeeds in delivering it-- and how it doesn't. All that and the animal magnetism of Pedro Pascal, the magnetic animalism of Kristen Wiig, and the 101 ways Chris Pine could have been brought back better!

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Commentary Track

He's the best at what he does, unfortunately, what he does in no way involves the power to tell Tom Rothman "no." The BOP Crew reaches the zenith of X-Men Generation One in our X-Retrospective series, along with the zenith of late 2000s 20th Century Fox Tom-foolery (see what we did there?). This is our audio commentary for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, a film meant to kickstart a spin-off series of Origin titles, be Gavin Hood's big break, the start of a (very) different Deadpool, plus many other incredibly broken promises. Instead, a writer's strike, producer and executive arguments, conflicting ideals, last minute changes, the entire film being leaked onto the internet, and a myriad of other problems forever altered an R-rated revenge tale about Logan's war-torn PTSD into... well, you've seen it. Certainly a Tragedy!

X2: X-MEN UNITED Commentary Track

Escalation. Since the discovery of the formula, superhero movies have known it to be the secret to their survival. The debate rages: Do audiences want more action and a grander scale the second time around, or a more personal experience with these characters? Either way, it is a historical fact: X2: X-Men United had it both ways. The academy's sophomore outing attempted to adapt God Loves, Man Kills, delve into Wolverine's origins at Weapon X, unravel a presidential assassination conspiracy, set up the Dark Phoenix Saga, AND be a sequel to the original film, and by some miracle of mutation it all worked out. In BOP n' A Movie's second installment of our X-Men commentary series, we examine how this jam-packed screenplay updates the mutant metaphor for the Bush era, and how its structure gave us the blueprint for the modern team-up movie, before we wonder at the Munich circus's own Incredible Nightcrawler, witness the origin of Michael Dougherty, and once again lament how little James Marsden has to do.

Men In Black



This episode is a rumor, recognizable only as another boring movie podcast, and dismissed just as quickly. It doesn't exist, it was never even recorded. Movie analysis is its name. Cinema its native tongue. We are above Itunes. Over it. Beyond it. We are madness. We are moxie. We are Box Office Pulp.
 ... but yeah, here's an episode on Men In Black where we talk about how important this was to a generation of audiences, marvel at just how unique it is in the pantheon of comic book movies, debate what could be done with the upcoming reboot, and Cody sings a nice song about men!

These download links are three for a dollar! Sir!

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.

You may not deserve to carry that shield, but you do deserve to download the episode by clicking here!

BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE PART 1

Tell Box Office Pulp... Do you listen to podcasts? YOU SHOULD. Specifically this one, in which the Crew... does not talk about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Well, they sorta do. But instead of the 800th conversation you've probably heard in regards to this movie, how about we talk about the vast comic book history that inspired it? A challenge to one member of the BOP Crew that was met in stride! The origins of Kryptonite? Bruce Wayne's drinking problem? The strange secret of Smush, The Multi-Manned Bat-Villain? What about the sheer unoriginality of KGBeast's imagination? All factoids and references are uncovered in this epic part 1 of 2! Man, comic books are weird...

Find out just how weird by downloading here!

DEADPOOL

Oh, hello there. Perhaps you're familiar with my work; taco truck drag racer, international assassin, the asshole who went all Ken from Street Fighter on Kitty Pryde that one time. La piscina de la Muerte! The Pool of The Death! Or as the cover to my 1998 solo rap album reads, "$cams." But I, Deadpool, am not here to sell you on the several thousand unsold copies of "The Sun Soaked Streets of LA Through the Prism of A Genetically Altered Canadian: An Epic Acapella Rap," only 9.99. No! I'm here to tell you folks about my favorite podcast(right behind Nordic Food Lab), and the episode they've done all about yours truly! The BOP Crew is giving their Maximum Effort(copyright me) to talk about DEADPOOL: The Motion Picture. You know, the newest movie by the company who tried to kill me to the best of their ability. But like tuna, you can't rub me out despite my pasty taste. Anyways. They discuss everything, from their favorite jokes, how sexy and talented Director Tim Miller is(personal friend and cuddle buddy), to the long and arduous 10 year journey it took for my profanity laden adventures to hit the silver screen. Also, that one time Ryan Reynolds and I tried to transport Coors into Georgia. Enjoy!

BATMAN RETURNS Commentary Track

They didn't put Box Office Pulp on a pedestal, so we're puttin' them on a slab! Once again, it's that wonderful time of year, where clown henchmen roast on an open fire, crazy women in cat costumes attack random pedestrians, hideous penguin men from the sewers re-emerge to incite mass hysteria, and the only one that can bring holiday cheer... is a creature... of the night. That's right, it's BOP 'n A Movie: Christmas Edition! And what a Merry Christmas we have for you this year -- with Gothic architecture galore, black sludge flowing from every orifice, and the nightmarish snow-coated landscape of the Gotham City Zoo, secretly housing the murderous Red Triangle Circus Gang! You know... Christmas! We're playing this stinking podcast like a harp from hell, because it's time for Tim Burton's 1992 box office smash, BATMAN RETURNS! Forward march, dear listeners! The liberation of Gotham has begun!

GET IN THE DUCK... by downloading the commentary right here.
