Back Seat Box Office #18

A few naughty words slipped into this one… hence the Explicit tag.

Jonathan starts the show by setting this guy straight with a lesson in meterology and stories of his trip to Texas. Murder and snow are both involved – good stuff.

Averaging our scores for the first three weeks of 2011 Tony is in first place with 21.7 points, Andrew is in second with 21 points and Jonathan is in third with 20 points.

Back Seat Box Office #17

Andrew & Tony have survived the Snow while Jonathan has re-located his whole operation to the warmer climes of North Texas where they apparently don’t have internet. We tell our respective war stories, compare scars and accidentally reveal where Jonathan may really be this week.

As we look back at last weekend Tony discovers that Andrew either has a concussion or is indulging in highly revisionist history. We also discover that one host has unlocked a new achievement for the show (hint – it’s not Hoss). Tony takes the lead this weekend with 24 points (80%), while Andrew brings in his usual 20 points (20%) and Hoss is eating our trail dust with 18 points (20%).

Green Hornet and The Dilemma both open in wide release this weekend while Black Swan expands into 2,000+ theaters. Spoiler – Andrew’s brain explodes during our Green Hornet discussion. Listen closely and try to find the exact moment.

Tony’s Picks:

  1. Green Hornet
  2. The Dilemma
  3. True Grit
  4. Black Swan
  5. Little Fockers

Under the new scoring system Jonathan leads the way with 25 points (100%), Andrew is comfortable with 20 points (20%) and Tony starts the new year in last place with 18 points (20%).

Looking forward to this weekend we discuss Season of the Witch debuting in wide release and County Strong expanding into 1,500 theaters. Warning – our Country Strong discussion takes us to an unexpected place. Oddly enough, we somehow mention the upcoming Gnomeo and Juliet.
