Mister Police. You could have saved yourself from watching this movie. I gave you all the reviews. But still you did. Still you watched due to the promise of Michael Fassbender battling a Snowman themed serial killer. Now look at you, a shadow of your former self. But luckily, for the rest of you, one member of the BOP Crew has turned his soul crushing viewing experience into this spine-tingler of a TALES FROM THE BOP! All in hope you don't meet his same twig-armed fate! This time, Mike weaves for Cody and Jamie, a story of Charlotte Gainsbourg dry humping our lead actor, a Dubbed Val Kilmer growling in a tub, scenes that play our perilously without any sense of rhythm or connection to plot, and a director who has disowned his own film! Allow me to introduce you all to the botched adaptation of the worldwide best-selling novel... THE SNOWMAN! The first snow has fallen.

Fair warning: The book of this podcast was better. But that doesn't mean we're not giving it the old college try, as we talk about the art of film adaptations with our special guest, and author of the upcoming book CARAVAN, Adam DeCollibus! We try to nail down what can be gained from moving a story from one medium to the next, what can be inevitably lost, and how those changes can sometimes affect the source material in unexpected ways. Case in point: The Spirit. Remember The Spirit? No? Well, once upon a time there was a man named Frank Miller... Take a look! It's in a book! Download the episode here! There was no way to make that rhyme.

There once were three podcasters who took it upon themselves to record a commentary track for every film in a very beloved series. Nearing the end of their Wizarding journey, they found the final adaptation had been split in two! Being podcasters with little to no lives outside their hobby, though, they simply waved off any prior obligations and sat down for the first of their final two Potter BOP ‘n A Movie tracks! The Golden Trio find themselves lost in some woods, and lost emotionally, as a movie often tossed aside and mis-remembered as  nothing more than stretched out prelude, may in fact, be one of the most interesting and best in the canon, and a real showing of what David Yates can do once he’s figured himself out. The kids forever leave childhood behind and are violently forced to confront being adults in a world at war in: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART ONE!

Listener beware, you’re in for a… *checks notes* trip to the intersection of Nostalgia Lane and Formative Genre Programming Boulevard. It’s the spookiest night of the year, with all the little ghosts and goblins performing tricks and collecting treats, but instead of watching in wistful remembrance of youth, The BOP Crew is celebrating Halloween by… well, talking in wistful remembrance of youth! We’re digging up the most underrated, but arguably, most important bones of the genre, and assembling a Frankensteinian canon of influential children’s horror media. We’ve got Cowardly Dogs, Midnight Societies, Goosebumps, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark sitting in our lab, not only waiting to give you back some old nightmares, but holding the key to what makes this stuff the very heart of horror, and essential to growing up. We all owe Ernest a life debt, is what I mean. Come little children, let me take thee away, by downloading the episode now! Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPo

Our Unbreakable Vow to provide a BOP 'n A Movie Feature Commentary for every Harry Potter film remains unbroken! For we have reached the penultimate entry in the series (technically!). An entry in which, every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark and moody cinematography attempt to depress the hell out of you! Then again, maybe seeing the young hero we've watched grow up before our eyes struggle relentlessly with Wizard PTSD is what's doing that. With this film, Steve Kloves returns, David Yates starts finding his groove, and we learn a whole lot about love... until we're reminded that love has an opposite, and it rears it's ugly head in one of the best gut-punching finales in cinema. So, take your liquid luck, crack open your potions book, and join us for the somewhat polarizing, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE! Once again, we must ask too much of you, audience. Take our arm and download the commentary here! Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/ Twitter: h

Get ready to emerge nude from your Ghostbusters playset, because BOP is celebrating Halloween with Nicolas Roeg's 90s stranger danger fantasy THE WITCHES! Apologies in advance, but our feature commentary will unfortunately cause you to remember that this Roald Dahl adaptation did in fact happen and wasn't merely a freakish nightmare! It happened and you will WATCH IT AGAIN WITH US, DAMMIT. So,  join Witchfinder General Cody, Hotel Manager Mike, and Grand High Bitch Jamie, as they talk about one of Anjelica Huston's best performances, the balance between whimsy and horror this movie masters, and the creature effects that still give us the willies to this day. Listen now, before Cody is trapped inside his Scream poster forever! Call out for help from your badass Witch Hunter Grandma by downloading the commentary here!

They say when The BOP Crew recorded this audio commentary for THE HALLOWEEN TREE, all the soda pop bottles in the world fizzled over. They could tell dumber jokes, analysis film better, AND eat more popcorn. Box Office Pulp, the greatest movie podcast that ever lived! According to their mother's. That whimsy aside, I don't know about you, but I smell pumpkin in the air, along with a tinge of last year's candy corn. 'Tis the season with the most reason! And to kick it off, it's our favorite of all make-believe holidays: Big-Ass Pumpkin Day! As every year, we celebrate with an appropriate jack-o-lantern-y flick, and this time, it's the aforementioned Cartoon Network adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic trip through Samhain's past!

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! Feeling ghosted by Dumbledore?

Dear, loyal, trusted, passionate listener, we are going to ask you this... just... once... DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!? DID YOU!? Sorry, sorry. We shouldn't have come at you so aggressively, but the thing is, we're just so darn excited! Our special Potterific BOP 'n A Movie trek into Diagon Alley continues, and we've officially reached adolescence! Which means... THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT! The last full on whimsical time for our spectacled hero, as the series reaches maturity with a film that takes us both to the most joyous of heights the series is capable of, but also to the darkest of left turns, where, in the words of Hermoine... nothing will ever be the same again. So, roll up your sleeves and check your Death Eater tattoos, folks, because it's time for an audio commentary! And this port key takes us straight to -- HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE! P.S. The bird bites. If you'd like to avoid that, download the commentary here! Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOffice

Blade... prepared for your franchise to burn out in supremely lackluster fashion? No? Well, too bad there, buddy! The time has come to complete our look-back on the highly influential and ass-kicking BLADE series, and what better way to end a series than with the least influential and ass-kicking entry possible! Yup, folks, we're delving into a tale of on-set meltdowns, sticky notes, bikers, lawsuits, and the secret origin of Deadpool, all to perhaps find out how, in La Magra's name, BLADE TRINITY came to pass. Turn up your mid-2000s iPod for this one, because our fangs are also located in our vaginas. Avoid any Vampire Pomeranian's by downloading the episode now!

Turn this podcast to page 394. And while you do that, we'll be turning back time to 2004, to the third year of Hogwarts, as BOP 'n A Movie solemnly swears to provide an audio commentary for Alfonso Alfonso Cuarón's whimsical and spooky artistic achievement: HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN! Our deep dive into the tale of The Boy Who Lived arrives at the departing of Chris Columbus as Director. But, as you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light... or, in this case, hire the guy who made Yu Tu Mama Tambien to take the reigns. Appreciate the balls of this in context, folks. And boy, did it pay off! What Cuarón did both changed the series forever, and paved the way for studios to think outside their box. So, summon your trusty Patronus, ward off those Dementors, and stay the hell away from Buckbeak... he's very flinchy. Manage your Mischief by downloading the commentary here!

You have no idea what podcast you are [messing] with! If that censored for TV version of a badass one-liner didn't tip you off, we're continuing our trip down bloody memory lane with our BLADE series retrospective, and we've reached the main course: Guillermo Del Toro's BLADE 2! In which, this time, our fave Daywalker must team-up with Ron Perlman and his cool vampire buddies to stop some vagina mouthed mutant bloodsuckers. There's other vagina stuff, too. Also, things in jars. Lots of things in jars. All the Del Toro staples are here, folks! Plus, Norman Reedus! So, how has the character of Blade evolved between entries? What makes Nomak one of the best villains in comic filmdom? Why isn't the fact Donnie Yen was totally a vampire ninja once brought up more!? The BOP Crew is here to answer these questions the Del Toro way -- with a graphic autopsy! Join The Bloodpack by downloading the episode here!

If you folks would look under your seats, you'll notice that we gave you all socks! You're now as free as Dobby! And hopefully less challenged. BOP 'n A Movie's Wizarding World Tour continues with the second year at Hogwart's, and the series first dark turn, in our audio commentary examination of Chris Colombus' HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS. The film that took the building blocks of the first and perfected it, representing why Colombus' contributions are sorely unappreciated.

Some podcasts are always trying to ice skate uphill. But, thanks to SPF9000, the BOP Crew can Walk like a Daywalker to sink their fangs into all things BLADE! On this anniversary year for the Marvel movie that started it all, we're taking a look back at how a niche' goggle sporting Tomb of Dracula character became the baddest mother fu*ker on the planet. All the strengths of the action-horror genre, none of the weaknesses! Beginning with the time the writer of David Hasselhoff's Nick Fury TV movie and an untested British director teamed with that guy from Major League to burst the jugular vein of cinema, with 1998's BLADE.

The lambs have downloaded the podcast. Let them affix their earbuds and cleanse them. Cleanse the world of their ignoran-- wait, this description is for public consumption, isn't it? Oh man, I don't know who's reading this. I gotta be more careful. Anyways, if you haven't gathered by that super hilarious bit of parody, The Crew is FINALLY appeasing the Ancient Ones by assuming their stereotypes of The Athlete, The Scholar, The Virgi-- oh, let's face it, we're all The Fool. Either way, the stage is set to wax poetically about Drew Goddard's THE CABIN IN THE WOODS! And to really get into the meat of this meta-horror masterpiece, we've invited Friend of BOP, journalist, author, wrestler, advocate, space scientist adventurer (might have made that last one up), and our very own Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain: Carter Lee!

As you can tell by CGI Cody feeding you wizard riddles, The Crew is logging on to The Oasis to talk Steven Spielberg's ode to pop culture - READY PLAYER ONE! We dig into the film's surprisingly nuanced approach to nostalgia, compare Ernest Cline's book to Zak Penn's nearly unrecognizable script, debate whether Wade Watts is a nice guy or a "Nice Guy", and remind ourselves periodically that, yes, Steven Spielberg directed scenes with THOSE characters.

The most PROVOCATIVE episode from the most PROVOCATIVE of podcasters, about the most PROVOCATIVE movie by the most PROVOCATIVE  of directors, guest star-- we should probably cut out the provocative thing and do this straight, right? Okay. Unlike Jennifer Lawrence's rotten luck with her house guests, we aren't tormented by guest co-host Adam Avitable, whom The BOP Crew welcomes into the fold for some much needed help in discussing Darren Aronofsky's downright nihilistic damning of pretty much everything: mother!

Leave your bright and sunny universe behind and take a step into a Da-- oh, sorry, as I was typing that, that entire initiative was cancelled. ANYWAYS, you may no longer be able to wander the secretive halls of Prodigium again anytime soon, but you can wander the halls of Cody's Memory Palace!

In which films not on the "must see!" spectrum are retold to you by one of our illustrious Crew members, who took the plunge into movie muck so you don't have to! This time, Cody recounts, like an exposition spewing Doc Jekyll, that time a major studio buried themselves alive like so many Imhotep's by placing their Cinematic Universe hopes in the hands of a crazy, running in place Scientologist.

Hiya guys, I'm Han Solo, and this is a podcast all about my very first adventure in outer space! Wow! It might be my first week as a smuggler, but I can tell I'm in good hands with the Box Office Pulp Crew.

She's a really nice lady and also a robot, and that's a-okay with me, not like she's taking a job *I* want. Ha ha ha, I'm just kidding ya.
