Box Sets Date Night Pt. 1

Brian and Tim wax on some favorites, though Tim makes obvious Men in Tights isn't his favorite Brooks film. A secret is revealed about how Brian almost couldn't use Back to the Future Part II. And Cary Elwes is inducted into the "Three Episode Club" beating out Samuel L Jackson on a technicality (Mr. Jackson has been in three films on the pod, but only two episodes. Only a matter of time, we're sure).------TIMECODES:00:05:25 - ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS00:38:08 - BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II01:08:43 - CONNECTIONS

Brian and Tim are here to tell you that we're aware of the hiatus we've had, that we wish it hadn't happen, to explain why, and to let you know that it will never, ever, sometimes, happen again.This one's short, not all fun, but mostly fun. Especially when you hit our patreon page: patreon.com/boxsetspodThanks so much for listening!

The first episode to feature an animated film! And Brian and Tim reminisce delightedly about the best of the original Turtles movies, TMNT 2. Also, the guys have great ideas for future Despicable Me and Minions movies that should definitely be considered by Illumination.TIMECODES:00:06:09 - Despicable Me 300:28:32 - TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze01:03:00 - Connections

Brian is the first to fire a torpedo into a set Tim had planned to give at a later time by giving Terminator 2 as part of this set. Can Tim find the connection to Anchorman?--TIMECODES--00:04:25 - ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY00:25:29 - T2: JUDGMENT DAY01:07:58 - CONNECTIONS

The new season is only a short time away! Listen as Tim and Brian talk about what's new and hear as Brian is dealt his fate while Tim earns an advantage.

A week late, but not a weak date. Brian sums up Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (Careful, it's got roller skating!) and The Princess Bride. Chemistry, it seems, is a must for Brian when it comes to romance and at least Westley and Buttercup have inconceivable amounts of it. Scott Pilgrim... not so much.---TIMECODES00:01:50 - SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD (VS. BRIAN)00:38:33 - THE PRINCESS BRIDE01:12:29 - CONNECTIONS

We both love doing this podcast and it takes a lot for us to delay an episode, so we thank you all for your understanding for the delay.

Brian and Tim talk through the first set of romantic films for Box Sets: Date Night! Tim wends his way through 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith and 2023's Molli and Max in the Future (A Box Sets favorite, we might add). Love (and bullets, and fish people, and explosions, and trash dimensions) are in the air. Also, listen and judge for yourself: Did Brian basically indicate that he thinks Casper is a romantic film??TIMECODES:00:05:24 - MR. & MRS.

Brian and Tim announce the final special set of episodes before season 2... Just in time for Valentine's Day.

Tim runs through The Ref and Trading Places. Our hosts agree one aged well and the other not so much. Also, Tim and Brian have different takes on watching Dan Aykroyd, dressed as santa and drunk, chow down on some questionable smoked salmon.
