What will be the highest grossing movies of 2025? Hello listeners! After a long hiatus we have responded to the desperate pleas for our return and are triumphantly foraying back into the podcasting field. Alright, so we actually got very busy and fell out of our routine which then totally took us out of podcasting rhythm. But we're back and trying out a new schedule that will hopefully keep us on track! To kick things off, we return to our annual tradition of starting the year with the box office draft. Listen in and see what movies we think will crown the box office this year! Then vote on who you think will end up on top! ⁠⁠Vote for the winner here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Select this episode in Spotify to vote!)

Hello listeners! This is another episode that we recorded and then dawdled on getting edited and released, so enjoy this record of January 2024 us drafting what we think are going to be the most profitable movies of the year. This year's movie draft has an added twist in that we're considering the budget, so for each of our films we'll be calculating a score based on the total domestic profit versus the film's budget in a way that will weight movies that exceed their budget much higher in the ranking. This means a lot more horror films drafted by three guys who don't watch horror films, so what could go wrong! Listen in and see if you agree with our selections, and let us know what you think we got right/wrong! ⁠Vote for the winner here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Select this episode in Spotify to vote!)

Hello listeners! Several months ago we got together for our second ever live and in-person recording of the podcast, the first time since our very first recording! (We will blame the table drumming and microphone adjusting noises in the recording on our inexperience...) We did a follow-up to our previous trivia draft where each drafter had to select an answer to five trivia questions, but in draft style only one person could have each answer. How did they prioritize which answers to draft early on, and did someone come away as the winner? Listen in, play along, and let us know how you did! If you'd like to follow along with the draft questions, you can see them on this quiz sheet. ⁠Vote for the winner here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Select this episode in Spotify to vote!)

Hello listeners! Coming to you better late than never we have our 2024 draft celebrating Cameron's birthday.

Hello listeners! In this episode (also a dated recording as you'll quickly note!) we are sticking up for the little guy. And by little guy, we mean mostly movies made by big studios and starring big actors that just didn't perform as well as they'd hope. We're each drafting five movies that won the Golden Razzberry award for Worst Film with the goal of making the most watchable collection of five films. If you had to, which team would you watch all five movies from? Listen in and then let us know! Vote for the winner here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Select this episode in Spotify to vote!)

Hello listeners! As you'll be able to tell from our discussion up top, this one was recorded way back in the olden times of 2023 but we're finally making our way through editing some of our back log. In this episode, Paul has ranked each year that he's been alive based on the most popular movie, song, TV show, and video game from that year. The three drafters attempt to put together the top scoring collection of years, but you can also just listen and try and decide which years you like the best! Let us know what your favorite year was and make sure to share this episode! Vote for the winner here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Select this episode in Spotify to vote!)
