DUNE (2021) Commentary Track

As they say on Salusa Secundus, Cody's dreams are messages from the derp. *insert horrible god language* And if any of that nonsense sounded familiar, then boy do we have three hours for you! Damn your own personal spice as you join Baron Cody Drinkonnen, Michael'Dib, and Euphoria's Zendaya as Jami, while they record a BOP n' A Movie thought unrecordable on the film thought unfilmable! Battling public apathy, a pandemic, and production woes longer than most cast members have been alive, Denis Villeneuve's Frank Herbert's Dune: Part One had no reason to be the surprise hit it was, and the crew spend this commentary discussing the ways this story of political corruption, environmental disorder, and an existing order crumbling under the weight of insurrection just might have struck a cord witb people! Along their journey through the desert they touch on the ground-breaking effects work, the polarizing sex appeal of the Kwisatz Haderach, and Duncan Idaho cuckolding the Tyrant God of Arrakis.

HEAVY METAL Commentary Track

This is your one way ticket to midnight! Sparks are flying in the dead of night and the beast is ready to devour because it's time to make some Heavy Metal noise... in this feature commentary track for 1981 cult epic HEAVY METAL. Admittedly, not quite as exciting as Sammy Hagar lyrics, but what you do get is fun facts and dissection of one of the most silently influential adult animated flicks in history. Based upon the underground French magazine Metal Hurlant and featuring a host of big name talents from Ivan Reitman, John Bruno, Dan O'Bannon, Bernie Wrightson, Moebius, just to name a few. So, bend the knee to the sum of all evils, the Loc-Nar, and join us for this BOP 'n A Movie for HEAVY METAL!

VIRUS Commentary Track

There are films that expand the mind, enrich the spirit, or even teach us how to be better. Cinema can, and often is, a triumph. But, dear listeners, haven't the triumphs of the medium been examined, analyzed, and spoken of enough? The laws of time and space have a rule: for every positive, for every triumph... there must be an opposite. And so, welcome to BOP 'n A Tragedy! A mini-series where we put films that are commercial or critical failures under a microscope, and learn to celebrate what is there, warts and all. To kick it off, we're watching a real schlocky clunker of a problematic fave, 1999's Jamie Lee Curtis disowned, VIRUS! Robot zombie cyborgs from space, one of the lesser Baldwin brothers, Donald Sutherland putting in the weirdest performance ever, all based upon an indie comic by a fairly well regarded writer and directed by Jim Cameron's go to special effects whiz! A recipe for something special, even if it didn't quite turn out. But why didn't it? In our feature audio commentary, we get to the bottom, from production history, to structure and concept, all while giggling at some of the coolest creature effects put on film.

THE WORLD'S END Commentary Track

After listening to this, we hope you sit there, blood on your knuckles, beer down your shirt, sick on your shoes, knowing you'll never listen to a finer podcast than this one. And you know what? You probably will. No one has ever been drunk enough to actually believe otherwise. But all the same, join us in this BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary for Edgar Wright's THE WORLD'S END! The final entry in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy. Mmm gotta love that blood and ice cream. Or in this case - alcohol! And copious amounts of it. Along with a side order of depression, arrested development, addiction, battles (figurative and literal) against societal conformism, and Bill Nighy as an alien overlord who may or may not have invented Starbucks. We get all kinds of ink on our hands dissecting this one! Plus, we prove why we always drink with a crazy straw. Not so crazy now, are we!?

Avoid getting Starbucked and replaced with a smashy smashy egg man by downloading the commentary here!

FOUND FOOTAGE (TO THE END OF YOUR LIFE)

RE: BOX OFFICE PULP, "Found Footage Episode," Archived 8-17-16:

A few weeks ago, the Crew of the Box Office Pulp podcast attempted to document an episode in which they would analyze, dissect, and discuss, the film genre known as "Found Footage." They have not been heard from since. Three days ago, a brown package arrived at our offices (The Kinnison County Sheriff's Department), inside was a recording of their final days spent researching the aforementioned style of movie. At first, it was noted that all seemed well; each member of the crew provided insightful comments ranging from the intimacy the genre produces, the affecting and sometimes terrifying tension that only Found Footage brings, the mistakes that are often made, a passionate defense of that class of filmmaking against detractors, and even whether a web series about Slender Man is better than an actual movie about Slender Man (we at the Sheriff's Department can confirm). But part way through the episode, the innate weirdness of the co-host designated Cody Alft appears to take physical form. What happens next is shocking, and highly disturbing. We are releasing this audio to the public in hopes of anyone out there having information to the last known whereabouts of the Crew. If you do, contact us at 1-800-BOP.

Download the harrowing finals days by clicking here. We at the Department found it quite entertaining, despite the grim sounds of evisceration's, and a lone, meticulously described scene of Mike Napier standing in a corner.
