SAW X Commentary Track

March 16, 2024 13:00 - 50.1 MB

With the Oscars behind us, many are taking a second look at the remarkable stories from last year that have been tragically overlooked by the academy. Tonight, Box Office Pulp would like to spotlight one such story, that of a humble engineer who forgot to cherish the little things, until a surprise diagnosis introduced him to a new hobby, a new gal, and a new lease on life. Before he can finish his life's work, though, he must rail against an uncaring medical system and stop the exploitativ...

SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW Commentary Track

March 03, 2024 12:00 - 39.4 MB

Tonight the C in ACAB stands for Chris Rock, as we take a look at the delayed, maligned, and overlooked soft reboot of the Saw franchise... no, the other one, 2021's Spiral: From The Book of SAW! In this Bop n' A Movie commentary track, we travel back to a time of chaos and uncertainty, where America was terrified by police brutality and the indoctrination of its youth into violent ideologies by charismatic extremists-- thank God that's over. It was a time when the horror community was shoc...

JIGSAW Commentary Track

February 17, 2024 16:14 - 40.9 MB

A BOP n' A Movie commentary track? But that podcast has been dead for ten years! The only explanation can be that there's a copycat on the loose, and it's set its sights on the most vulnerable member of the Saw family: 2017's forgotten soft reboot, Jigsaw! Crank up the Roy Orbison and grab your favorite bucket, as persons unknown revisit Lionsgate's first attempt to resurrect a dead horse,  but is the only entry from The Brothers Spierig the return to simplicity they wanted? Filled with new...

SAW VII (3D): THE FINAL CHAPTER Commentary Track

January 27, 2024 16:02 - 38.1 MB

  We can't say the man didn't warn us it would get bloody. Unfortunately, our plunge into America's favorite amputation-based horror franchise has brought us to this BOP n' A Tragedy commentary for Saw 7, AKA Saw 3D, AKA Saw 33⅓: The Final Insult. Opening with Jigsaw saying the name "Brad" and going downhill from there, this attempt to squeeze a few more drops of blood out of the Hoffman saga killed the franchise as we knew it, with poorly utilized 3D, a threadbare script, and a style that ...

The Humbugs of Cinema: A Christmas Carol(s) Retrospective

December 24, 2023 12:24 - 27.8 MB

Old Box Office Pulp was better than its word. It returned to the well of Dickens yet again that December, to spend another holiday discussing where the adaptations of A Christmas Carol fell on the gravy-grave scale. They ranked the various Scrooges, Fezzywigs, Marleys, and infinitely more; and to Cody, who did NOT die of alcohol poisoning last commentary, there was much introspection on the logistics of employing a street urchin, the bizarre phenomenon of Scrooge Action Scenes, why Albert F...

SAW VI Commentary Track

December 18, 2023 13:00 - 40.9 MB

Like a good neighbor, cherish your life! Terrible jingle for an insurance company, but perfect for our purposes, as tonight we've gathered to milk John Kramer for every last ounce of gratitude his corpse has to offer, with this BOP n' A Movie Commentary for SAW 6! At the end of the 'Jigsaw's Last Will Trilogy' (we're naming just now), our story finds Hoffman's world crashing down around him as the Billy-slain return from the dead, janitors battle their corporate overlords for lung supremacy...

SAW V Commentary Track

December 08, 2023 14:00 - 38.8 MB

If you're reading this, then you've finally found what you've been looking for. But is the discovery of our podcast enough? Or will your insatiable hunger for Saw films push you deeper into the abyss? Heed my warning: do not listen to this Bop n' A Movie commentary on Saw V. As your hosts watch Costas Mandylor be horror's worst cop since Matt Cordell, they discuss the lows and highs of the post-Jigsaw era, how first-time director and former cinemaSAWgrapher David Hackl handled the transitio...

SAW IV Commentary Track

November 21, 2023 13:00 - 38.6 MB

You think our series ends just because the newest Saw movie is out? The commentaries have only begun! In our latest BOP n' A Movie, we continue our look at horror's most complicated continuity... outside of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead, Demons... you know what, forget we said anything. In Saw IV, repo man Darren Lynn Bouseman wraps his original streak as director with a tale of origins, autopsies, and doors that should never be walked through quickly. Listen as the crew discuss the la...

Talking THE WELL with Federico Zampaglione

October 31, 2023 11:00 - 21.3 MB

Is restoring a classic painting ever worth it? According to horror movies the answer is resoundingly "no," as you can plainly see in acclaimed director Federico Zampaglione's newest festival hit, "The Well!" Zampaglione (@Tiromancino) was kind enough to join us and talk about his love letter to the Italian cinema that shaped him, how he married a slow-burn psychological descent with shocking moments of brutality, the fortune of casting Lauren LaVera just as Terrifier fans christened her hor...

SAW III Commentary Track

October 23, 2023 14:11 - 46.5 MB

Editor's Note: Mike's audio was borked and did our best to do a Lazarus on it and save the commentary. Will be jarring at first but hope we got it listenable for you. Our apologies! With Saw X currently gouging up the theaters, we continue our ongoing social experiment against the moral integrity of Cody's liver, BOP n' A Movie! This edition's reading from The Book of BOP brings us to Saw III, Darren Lynn Bousman's sophomore turn in the director's chair and Leigh Whannell's final word on J...

THE WELL - Mini BOP

October 15, 2023 11:33 - 9.73 MB

Calling all art fans! No, not THAT Art--even if, Lauren LaVera IS in this movie. I mean of the brush stroke kind! Look at what TERROR your preferred form of expression wreaks on more, unsuspecting restorers from a foreign land! I won't hold it against you, though. I WILL hold it against you if you don't check out this here review of THE WELL! Mike is here with more new Euro Horror recommendations for your perlilous eyeballs, this one from writer and director Federico Zampaglione, with a ton...

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS Commentary Track (A Big-Ass Pumpkin Day Extravaganza)

October 14, 2023 10:00 - 42.7 MB

Just when you thought it was safe to crack open a gourd, scoop out its insides, and carve your choice of expression into its helpless flesh, Big-Ass Pumpkin Day is here again! The BOP mantra has always been "when all else fails, do quality," so this year we're partying along with 2018's way-better-than-it-has-to-be The House With A Clock In Its Walls.

We talk the brilliant set-design, the balancing act between traps and story...

SAW Commentary Track

September 17, 2023 14:36 - 41.2 MB

  Hello, listeners. We'd like to play a commentary. If it's [MONTH TAPE IS BEING PLAYED], it must be BOP! And tonight, the crew is untangling the first knot in the increasingly convoluted horror juggernaut that is SAW, in the first of a new BOP n' A Movie commentary series! The Elwes are screaming and the Malort is flowing as they discuss the very first James Wan and Leigh Whannell joint, the ingenious filmmaking cheats that allowed an inexperienced production to both surpass expectations a...

MAD HEIDI - Mini BOP

July 21, 2023 19:47 - 9.17 MB

Swissploitation! The genre you never knew you needed or knew existed. Mainly because it didn't until this very moment! In this bite sized BOP, Mike takes a cheese grater to the mad auspices of Casper Van Dien as THE PRESIDENT OF SWITZERLAND. The greatest credit in human history. Anyway, MAD HEIDI, the pure crowdfunded indie that picked up major lactose-related steam this year and is out now on VOD and blu-ray! A blood gushing and Grindhouse dirty parody of the classic swiss tale of Heidi bu...

The Crew gets into what sets this apart from other ‘Shin’ entries, the way Anno injects beauty into the absurd, how this is the best Miracleman adaptation we never got, and the sad fact that every culture can identify with incompet...

SUPER MARIO BROS. (1993) Commentary Track

April 09, 2023 12:00 - 42.9 MB

Nothing is impossible, listeners. Improbable? Unlikely? Sure, but never impossible. If you need any more proof, just look at the new Nintendo movie that hit theaters this week, something fans thought they'd never see again after the subject of this BOP n' A Tragedy audio commentary, 1993's Super Mario Bros! You're heard the jokes, the brutal behind-the-scenes stories, and the lamentations of Leguizamo, but the BOP Crew (okay, mostly Jamie) aren't content with leaving the first video game mo...

SCREAM 6

March 23, 2023 18:09 - 30.6 MB

Ghostface and BOP are back, baby! After their respective hiatuses, one is here to talk about movies and the other to cut a bloody swath through New York City. We'll let you decide which is which. Regardless, The Core Four are back on the silver screen with a new masked slasher to contend with, and Mike and Cody get to gab about what may be one of their new favorite entries in the Scream franchise! Mostly importantly, though, they get to loudly declare "Kirby Lives!" with righteous indignati...

HALLOWEEN ENDS

Fourty-four years ago, convicted murderer Michael Myers escaped from Smith Grove Sanitarium, and upon returning to his home town of Haddonfield, Illinois, committed five murders that would transform horror cinema forever.

Just when you thought it was safe to walk the darkened streets of Italy with a bare throat, Dario Argento is BACK! And he's sporting gloved hands and a killer pair of DARK GLASSES. Which, of course, happens to be the name of his new movie in a very, very long time. Even longer if you don't want to count his last movie as a movie.

Mini BOP: A TASTE OF BLOOD

August 18, 2022 11:00 - 11.8 MB

We all consider the possibility our parents are vampires, but do we have the guts to actually go through with the staking? Mike ponders this question, along with pondering the fangerific (sorry) new horror movie from Argentina, A TASTE OF BLOOD, coming at us from writer-director  Santiago Fernandez Calvete and loosely based on A.K. Tolstoy's The Family Of The Vourdalak. With unique alterations on vampire mythology and an intimate story of paranoia and familial breakdowns, how does A TASTE O...

Death has come to our little podcast. We can either ignore it, confront it, or choose our own version to stare down as we shout SIX TIMES! at it.
