Box Office Gross: The Top 50 Films of 2006

A podcast dedicated to untangling the legacies of the top grossing films of 2006, that might make you say "THAT'S what we were watching back then? GROSS."

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS! This week @BoxOfficeGROSS HAS THE CURE!!! Pals #TJDobbin and Associate Producer @Shaun2oo3 FLY IN to have a delightfully varied, in-depth conversation with us about Brett Ratner's maligned, controversial X-MEN: THE LAST STAND! https://t.co/iFsnKErYSY

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS, this week @BoxOfficeGross is SELLING THE CONDO!

We've grabbed the great @marshlands to help us pick up the emotional pieces as we cover Peyton Reed's prickly, sour Chicago-set Vince Vaughn/Jen Aniston "anti-rom-com" THE BREAK-UP!

[kpg @notoriouskpg]

if you listen to the Clerks II episode of @BoxOfficeGross from back in March, around an hour and 44 minutes you can hear Brian, Rob and myself talk about how disastrous this was bound to be

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS! @BoxOfficeGross can turn a podcast INTO A RUNWAY!!! After covering the original, the great #MauraQuint circles back around to cover...a NEW MOVIE???? We have a sprawling chat about 2026's newest juggernaut THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2!!! https://t.co/Cyp75veQbF

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS! @BoxOfficeGross is EXPLODING IN YOUR BRAIN! The great @colonelmortimer returns to help us reclaim MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III, the situational runt of its franchise, that deserves better than its reputation. https://t.co/sV6Q38oR5Q

Also, I momentarily misspeak about my appreciation for Stanley Tucci and A MILLION GIRLS (Rob AND Maura) KILL ME FOR IT. RIP TO ME.

This ep was so fun, Maura was perfect to help us accompany us! Please check it out, and stay tuned for our thoughts on the follow-up! 😊

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

We also discuss the curious case of The Boyfriend, of Harry from MAD MEN, the grievous unchecked sexism, social pressure and hilarious hat styles of mid-2000s pop culture, inexplicable narrative car accidents, Lady Sovereign and the eugenics experiments of MADDEN.

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

We discuss Maura's incredibly similar real life experiences and the film's divergences from its original novel, and how those decisions both strengthen and weaken the film in different ways, especially regarding the film's increasing esteem for the fashion industry and Streep.

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS, a MILLION GIRLS would KILL to guest on this episode of @boxofficegross! We were honored to be joined by the great #MauraQuint to discuss THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA in the days leading up to the release of its legacy follow-up!

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS! Coming THIS MONDAY (April 27) to @boxofficegross!!!:

A million girls would kill to have her job. She's not one of them.

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

This includes an incredible musical contribution by Rob, who puts in the WORK here on an episode that barely deserves it.

This way so much fun, and Charles helped us make a real entertaining episode out of a real loser movie. Check it out!

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

We discuss the film's bizarre voice cast, its' tepid, boring social commentary, and its stilted attempts at humor more perfectly suited to the four-panel set-up/punch-line payoff of the comic strip its based on.

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS, this week @BoxOfficeGross is ROCKIN' THE SUBURBS: we grab the great @Ugarles, on his 52 Week Pod Challenge, enlivening what is otherwise a real uninspiring entry in our project, the weak, sloppy animated satire OVER THE HEDGE.

FOLKS!

Coming THIS MONDAY (4/20 BLAZE IT BROS) to @BoxOfficeGROSS!!! :

Get over it.

[Brian Schmid @SchmanthonyP]

FOLKS, this week @BoxOfficeGross SETS SAIL!

We finally get our great pal @labuzamovies on the show to discuss Wolfgang Petersen's strange, intermittently visceral, justifiably utterly forgotten would-be epic POSEIDON!
