What Lesson Has Hollywood Learned from the Box Office?

In a funny(??) turn of events, Duscher also got a sinus infection that burst his eardrum and Zammit is back on antibiotics for the foreseeable future and is then off to a beachside resort for his 40th. Jackson may have a ball infection or something. This is something we learnt today after we recorded this. Long story short, the boys are doing WELL.

Hello dear listener, you may have noticed there hasn't been a new episode. Good job! Zammit is dying from a sinus and ear infection, Jackson is currently interstate for a wedding, Duscher is here, but he can't do a solo ep. You don't want that. So sit tight, the boys in some form will be back at some point. Go watch a movie or something. Or don't. Just sit outside. That's pretty good tooAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The 2026 Box Office is mysterious. Michael is doing really well but also so is Toy Story 5, but also so is the Odyssey, and also Spiderman: Brand New Day. What the hell is a humble executive meant to learn from all this? Duscher starts another BS in the middle of this one, Jackson wants another crack at Pokémon, and Zammit goes upside down. Maybe there's only one lesson to learn, maybe five, the main thing is, the future of movies has never been brighter.Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!

First we met the Parents, then we met the Fockers, then there were some Little Fockers, now there's a frickin Focker in Law. Truly it is the franchise that keeps on giving. Will the movie be like every other Focking movie or will it surprise us, that's the question. Jackson remembers We're the Millers, Duscher has a complicated relationship with Scarlett Johansson, and Zammit doesn't think we should hear from celebrities basically ever. The boys also get so excited to go Fock mode that they make a wheel bet and promise a new Based Reaction. It's crazy!Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!

The boys have asked their dear sweet friend Adam Carnevale of D&D Is For Nerds to talk about their ideal MCU project. Well, sort of, secretly they just want to grill Adam about what it's like to be John Movies. Jackson still loves Man-Thing, Duscher reads Adam's letterboxd and goes insane, and Adam believes he's been brought on to be expressly bullied even though the boys just want to know what it's like to enjoy slop like a moron.Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!

Hollywood can't seem to stop remaking goddamn movies. Think of a movie from your childhood, guess what, they're remaking it probably. But what do the BS boys want to see remade? What would tickle their fancy? Zammit wants to give Sunset Boulevard a new coat of youtube colored paint, Duscher wants to make an X-Box themed Jingle all the Way, and Jackson wishes Treasure Planet was longer and not funny. Would you watch these movies if they were real? That's the real question.Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!

Jumanji was a probably successful movie they made in 1995, now it's 2026 and they're making what is technically the fifth movie in the franchise, Jumanji: Open World. Will it be good or not? That's the question ostensibly answered on todays episode but not really. Zammit has never heard of the Nutcracker, Jackson gets yelled at about the past, and Duscher (and the rest of the boys) consider backsliding. How good would it be to give in to your worst impulses? Really good is the answer. Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a comic the boys adore, was adapted into the movie Supergirl and it stunk a million asses. This was disappointing for the boys but surely it's gotta be more disappointing for the DCU. Is this the death knell for the franchise or merely a speedbump? Duscher is furious about release schedules and just wants to get in there, Zammit still believes in Gun, and Jackson is possibly the wrong kind of pervert. Also the Spiderweb Hair reveal is this one, and it's a doozy. Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!

Spiderman: Brand New Day has exceeded all expectation and is fast tracking itself to become one of the most successful movies of all time. What does this mean for Marvel? Are they panicking? Are they changing things behind the scenes. The boys look to the future to try and figure out what's next. Jackson, to no ones surprise, gets yelled at, Duscher starts a pee train, and Zammit remembers Spider Slayer. The main thing to remember though is that Sony is incapable of making a good decision and that rules. Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!

The boys are back from the movies where they saw Spiderman: Brand New Day. Did they like it? Mostly! Did it make them excited for the future? Not really, in many ways the opposite. Zammit gets into a fight about the Hulk like a good husband, Jackson has to read War & Peace, and Duscher just wishes they would do something about Jared Leto for once. Sometimes it's kind of bad to be reminded that the MCU can make ok movies, this is one of those times.Remember to go see Plumbing the Death Star live in the UK!
