Back Seat Box Office #9
Tony is seeing patterns, or is he??? Many thanks to everyone who emailed Andrew about joining his anti-witch mob. His instructions are to go to Case Magenta, I repeat, go to Case Magenta.
Looking at last weekend’s results, Andrew led the pack with 60%, Tony came in second with 40% and Jonathan ended up with 20%.
Tony says, “Darrell’s review of Skyline,” but means Darren. Oops! He offers profuse apologies to all those involved.
“Harrry Potter: The Deathly Hallows” and “The Next Three Days” both debut this weekend. We ponder which one will do better at the box office. . . . . for about a second.
Andrew thinks an evil genius will fall faster then a train but not nearly as fast as two guys on a road trip:
- Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows pt. 1
- Unstoppable
- Megamind
- The Next Three Days
- Morning Glory
Tony disagrees:
- Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows pt. 1
- Megamind
- Unstoppable
- The Next Three Days
- Due Date
Jonathan figures that if John Brennan can break his wife out of prison, he can come in second this weekend:
- Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows pt. 1
- The Next Three Days
- Unstoppable
- Megamind
- Due Date
The Green Lantern trailer we talked about can be found here.

Back Seat Box Office #7
Jonathan is riding high as we review last weekend’s results while Andrew and Tony are less enthused. For the record Jonathan correctly predicted 60% while his co-hosts are sharing the basement with 20%.
Sausage Fest 2010, Virtual or otherwise, is over and raised $580 for breast cancer research.
We then look forward to this weekend’s conundrum of 3 very different new releases. After comparing the relative merits of Tyler Perry, family friendly super villians and ‘that bearded guy’ we end up with three very different lists.
Jonathan believes in the draw of Iron Man and ‘that bearded guy’:
- Due Date
- For Colored Girls
- Megamind
- Paranormal Activity 2
- Red
Andrew banks on Oprah’s fame while trusting in numbers to round out his list:
- For Colored Girls
- Due Date
- Megamind
- Saw 3-D
- Paranormal Activity 2
Tony feels that family comes first this week:
- Megamind
- Due Date
- For Colored Girls
- Saw 3-D
- Red
We finish up the show singing the praises of The Way of the Game.

Back Seat Box Office #5
Jonathan, of The Way of the Game fame, and Andrew, Archer Enthusiast, are back this week talking Box Office with Tony.
Tony doesn’t want to talk about last weekend’s results but we talk about it anyway. Tony’s bet that Red would debut at #1 did not pay off and he only got 20% right. Meanwhile, Andrew and Jonathan’s faith in Jackass 3-D was well founded and carried them to a 60% weekend.
Andrew just saw Red and his initial thoughts on the movie leads to us talking about Helen Mirren. We end up going somewhere that felt natural at the time but, in retrospect, might be a bit weird.
After lengthy pondering Tony decides to give Jackass more credit this week and that Mark Zuckerberg has more staying power then Secretariat:
- Jackass 3-D
- Paranormal Activity 2
- Red
- Hereafter
- The Social Network
Andrew decides to put his faith into Matt Damon, Clint Eastwood and the draw of a holiday sequel:
- Paranormal Activity 2
- Jackass 3-D
- Hereafter
- Red
- Secretariat
While Andrew and Tony grapple with numbers and projections, Jonathan decides to stick with his gut:
- Jackass 3-D
- Paranormal Activity 2
- Red
- Hereafter
- Secretariat
Whose got it right this week?!?

Back Seat Box Office #4
This week Tony is joined by Jonathan from The Way of the Game podcast and Andrew, General Roustabout.
We start by discussing Tony’s picks for last weekend. The bad news is that he only got 20% right. The good news is that all 5 of the movies he picked were in the Top 5.
After Tony finishes explaining what went wrong we move into his picks for this weekend which are:
- Red
- Jackass 3-D
- The Social Network
- Life as We Know It
- Secretariet
The cover of ‘Creep’ from The Social Network trailer is performed by Scala & Kolacny Brothers, a Belgian women’s choir. If you haven’t heard it, go check it out, it’s spectacular.
Finally, Jonathan and Andrew chime in that they both believe Jackass 3-D will debut at #1 with Red at #2. Tune in next week to see who’s right!

Real Men STILL wear Pink (Year 3)
I’m just going to repost this from last year… and the year before… because it still says it all.
If you are attending Archon, join us for SausageFest (for Breast Cancer Awareness) and if you have a few bucks to spare, donate to one of the organizations fighting Breast Cancer.
As a site and podcast that 98% managed and produced by men, it would be easy to say we are doing this to save boobies. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month not just something to snicker about though. Too many people are affected and afflicted by this disease.
Women are made aware of the disease and how to look for the signs from an early age. While not all of them heed the doctor’s advice, they are at least aware of their risks. Guys are at risk of this too.
Guys we need to be supportive of our women and we need to make sure that we are healthy too. It’s not enough that encourage our partners to do regular exams, but we should be checking out ourselves too.
Seriously, if you get breast cancer you could die. As in dead. As in six feet under. That is serious. So what if you get embarrassed having to admit why you have to go to the doctor, or take time off work, or have the scar. You are alive. You are alive AND you get to wear one of the special survivor shirts and walk arm in arm with some of the coolest, toughest, most bad-ass women you’ll ever meet and be fortunate enough to call yourself equal to them. Not a whole lot of men can do that.
We are going pink for the month of October. For our mothers, our girlfriends, our wives, our daughters and also for ourselves.
