  • '28 Years Later,' 'Elio,' and Our July Summer Box Office Preview
    Jun 28 2025

    Weekly episodes are back in style as Zach and Aaron brave the zombie apocalypse, an alien invasion and a Pitch Perfect wedding! On this episode of Box Office Bets -- or B.O.B. (if you nasty) -- we discuss '28 Years Later,' 'Elio,' and 'Bride Hard.' One film is great, one film is good, and the other is an abomination that should never have seen the light of day! You can guess which is which, or you can just listen!

  • 'The Phoenician Scheme,' 'Materialists,' and the Death of Creativity
    Jun 21 2025

    We're not dead! Just got overwhelmed! But, like John Wick, we're thinkin' we're back -- getting into our weekly Ritual again, Schemin' like Phoenicians, livin' like Chuck, and talkin' about money like we're Materialists.

    How To Train Your Dragon? More like How To Tank An Industry! If it makes a good profit, just put out the same exact movie again in 15 years! Why not? This is just a small taste of the crash out that Aaron has in this week's episode while Zach tries desperately to calm him down. We may have missed a week, but we haven't skipped a beat.

  • 'Stitch-possible' and 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Lead to 2025's Biggest Box Office Surprises Yet
    May 29 2025

    Join Zach and Aaron as they discuss the concept of death: the death of the theatrical screening window; the multiple deaths contained with the 'Final Destination' franchise; the constant death-defying stunts performed by Tom Cruise; the quick death of The Weeknd's acting career; the slow, excruciating death of an entire industry brought on by an endless slew of live-action remakes. We're getting deep this week, folks.


    Did 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' satisfy all of our end-of-series expectations? Does 'Lilo & Stitch' stay faithful to its source material -- and should it have? Will Tim Robinson even want to be around anymore after the financial performance of 'Friendship?' Should you hurry up and see 'Hurry Up Tomorrow?' Will Aaron ever be able to go in a high-rise building again after seeing 'Final Destination: Bloodlines?' All this and more are answered in this week's episode of Box Office Bets.


    Movies covered in this week's episode:

    'Final Destination: Bloodlines' (13:48)

    'Hurry Up Tomorrow' (27:48)

    'Lilo & Stitch' (32:18)
