The nineties were a grand ole' time if you were a geeky kid. An era ruled by a wise and fair Macho King, all your favorite characters co-existed in ice cream form, and an invasion of bigger, badder, and extrem-ier anti-heroes hit comics like a flaming-hot meteor, and cooled off just as quickly. Over thirty years since his creation, VENOM has not only outlived the trends that birthed him, but thrived -- much to the chagrin of the same readers who were his first fans. In Eddie Brock's film debut (we don't talk about Spider-Man 3), Ruben Fleischer and co. have not only paid shockingly faithful tribute to the nerd world's #1 problematic fave, they've chucked the macho doom-and-gloom for an upbeat romp about a boy and his blob. So why all the hate? In this Mini BOP, Symbiotic Experts Mike and Jamie weigh in on fans' curious relationship with the character, the one-of-a-kind tone that sets it apart from a sub-genre aching for experimentation, where this ranks in the annals of Weird Tom Hardy Performances, and how Venom is 100% a queer romantic-comedy. CHANGE OUR MINDS.

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!

EVIL DEAD (2013) Commentary Track
The BOP Crew wants you folks to CUT IT! But if you've somehow managed to not read from a cursed book bound in human flesh and become possessed, then you're definitely ready to join us in this sojourn into the woods for this extra special BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary! Why so extra special, you ask? Because we find ourselves celebrating the five year anniversary of Fede Alvarez's supremely underrated EVIL DEAD remake! Entwined within this audio recorded in human blood, we delve into the aftermath of it's release, the abandoned franchise plans - including the crossover with Ash himself! - and the overlooked and hefty sub-textual themes of drug abuse, addiction, and self-destruction this film carries with it! Evil Dead deserves your respect, and if you don't give it, Mia WILL probably shove a chainsaw in your face.

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!?

Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2
The BOP Crew's Mary Poppins, ya'll! And we're here to save the galaxy for a second time -- well, actually, we're here to talk about other people saving the galaxy for a second time. We heart Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 so hard, you guys, and we gots ourselves oodles to say about the deep emotional and psychological turmoil everyone's favorite ragtag cosmic heroes went through for your entertainment! Join us as we explore the HEART of Kraglin, the balls on James Gunn to do literally anything he chose to do with this film, Kurt Russell's giant space-face, and our lamentation on just how wrong we were about StarFox being Star-Lord's dad. But, hey, could still be related! You don't know. We could be right about something one day.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Commentary Track
Congratulations, you are listening to Box Office Pulp. Please... do not resist. Too bad the BOP Crew can smell the lies! The deception! So, why don't you choke on your aspirations of doing something else this evening, and become one with the Force by listening to this BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary! And if you haven't picked up on the clues, we're doing ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY while the movie's still hot and fresh off the presses! Who will steal credit away from Cody's achievement? Will Mike go through with his murderous orders while wrestling with his own inner Latin charms? Is a fully CGI James disrespectful to the memory of the still living James? Only Bor Gullet knows, and he can feel your downloads!

Clive Barker's Nightbreed
Deep beneath a local backwoods cemetery, the Tribes of The Moon have gathered to welcome the newest member to their breed: The Box Office Pulp Crew! After their God burns us and we(hopefully) survive the trial, we take an all too close look at the contents of Clive Barker's head, and what might be the cultiest cult film that's ever culted! Talkin' about NIGHTBREED here, folks. The movie that taught us that both everything is true, and David Cronenberg is a scary sombitch. Are YOU dreaming of Midian? Then this episode's for you.
