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 #6

Tony, Jonathan, and Andrew are back for another week of box office prognostication.

You can still donate to Virtual SausageFest until October 31.

Before we can get down to business this week there is an airing of secrets and grievances. Andrew is slowly going mad from hearing how poorly he speaks, Tony takes joy crushing his players and Jonathon feels wronged by his co-hosts.

Tony breaks his slump by nailing #3 thru #5 and walking away with 60%. While Jonathan and Andrew only pick up 40% as Secretariat comes up short.

After marveling at Paranormal Activity 2’s success and pondering if the Saw franchise has any life left in it we get down to business and make our picks for this weekend.

Tony and Andrew have nothing to argue about this week as they make identical picks:

Paranormal Activity 2
Saw 3-D
Jackass 3-D
Red
Hereafter

Jonathan brings his ‘A’ game this week and feels that Red will hold steady while Knoxville et al go plunging past:

Paranormal Activity 2
Saw 3-D
Red
Jackass 3-D
Hereafter

Will this be the week we finally break through the 60% barrier?!?

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!
