It’s spooky season! Bodega Box Office official horror movie podcast episode: too many actors, not enough kills, and Matthew Lillard in his peak spittle phase. The movie is somehow better than the description, and this podcast episode meets somewhere in the middle of your high/low expectations.
Read MoreBusta Rhymes brings it as a truly frightening villain in the 2009 film BREAKING POINT. Sticky Fingaz has a smaller role but doesn't disappoint. We liked this movie at a perfectly paced 97 minutes, but there are some graphic depictions of domestic violence that made it kind of hard to watch.
Read MoreI ACCIDENTALLY DOMED YOUR SON is a movie that we’ve been meaning to watch for a long time. It was panned by the critics, but who gives a shit? It has a script, a plot, good jokes, and great sound. And Kurupt is in it!! Ant digs deep in the crates for some unreleased Kurupt to finish the show.
Read MoreOn this episode we watched the “musical”(?) QUEEN OF THE DAMNED starring Aaliyah, Stuart Townsend, Marguerite Moreau, Lena Olin and Paul McGann and featuring music by Jonathan Davis of Korn. We try our hardest to celebrate Aaliyah but veer towards a conversation about Nu metal and some surprising crossovers into the rap world. We make up for it by playing some FIRE Aaliyah songs at the end.

Read MoreEPISODE 80: FRIDAY AFTER NEXT (ICE CUBE)
We finally watch a holiday movie in FRIDAY AFTER NEXT. This film packs in every character and problem it can and wraps it with a Christmas bow. Ice Cube fucks, Witherspoon is still poopin’ and Katt Williams is God-Tier. All the tropes, one-liners and just let Mike Epps cook.

And Brandon and Anthony pick a couple of great tracks from Three Six Mafia and T-Rock that we play in the music portion.
Read MoreXXX: STATE OF THE UNION (Ice Cube, Xzibit) is the subject of this episode. We get a little more film critic-y than normal, but the movie had some qualities. A fucking tank sling-shots another tank. And Ice Cube looked like an actual action star for most of the movie, even doing his own stunts to his own peril. Anthony chooses some GEMS including a banger from Scarface ft. Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Too Short.
