EP 196: 2008’s Box Office Countdown (5–1) – Jokers, Jones, and ABBA (ft. Phoenix Clouden)
Episode Description:
Jason is joined by the ever unpredictable Phoenix Clouden (The Film Canon) to finish the epic climb through 2008’s biggest box office hits! This is the top 5 where caped crusaders, crystal skulls, pandas, demigods, and dancing queens battled for cinematic dominance.
It's a strange mix of gritty realism, nostalgic absurdity, and pop musical euphoria
Films Discussed:
-
Mamma Mia! (5) – Meryl, ABBA, and summer dreams you can sorta almost sing along to.
-
Hancock (4) – A drunken antihero gets a redemption arc, and the movie continues.
-
Kung Fu Panda (3) – The animated surprise that kicks harder than anyone expects.
-
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2) – Aliens? Fridges? And the first real internet backlash blockbuster.
-
The Dark Knight (1) – Ledger’s Joker, Nolan’s vision, and the box office juggernaut that changed the game. But is it...good?
IN THIS EPISODE:
-
Phoenix defends Kung Fu Panda as top-tier animation with real heart and craft.
-
Jason revisits Hancock and some tone deaf creative choices.
-
Can Mamma Mia! actually work as a movie?
-
Was Crystal Skull ever really that bad, or just a victim of overhype?
-
And does The Dark Knight still hold up as the superhero movie to beat?

EPISODE 195: 2008’s Box Office Countdown (10–6) – Iron, Espionage, Penguins, and Robots (ft. Robert Yaniz Jr. & DW Lundberg)
Episode Description:
The countdown continues! Jason is joined by returning guests Robert Yaniz Jr. and DW Lundberg to tackle the back half of 2008’s top-grossing movies—where talking animals, malfunctioning robots, and emotionally exhausted spies battled it out for box office supremacy.
This batch has it all: MCU beginnings, Pixar magic, Bond reboot blues, and a certain talking lion who just can't catch a break.
Films Discussed:
-
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (6) – The animals are back and... still trying to get home.
-
Quantum of Solace (7) – Bond is brooding, brutal, and possibly bored.
-
Iron Man (8) – The movie that launched a universe (and Robert Downey Jr. into legend).
-
WALL·E (9) – A near-silent ode to love, loneliness, and environmental collapse.
-
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (10) – Slightly darker, slightly edgier, but did anyone notice?
IN THIS EPISODE:
-
Was Quantum of Solace an artistic casualty of the 2008 writers' strike?
-
How Iron Man became a bigger gamble than anyone remembers.
-
Why WALL·E might be Pixar’s boldest and most bittersweet gamble.
-
Robert, DW, and Jason try to answer the eternal question: "Who actually watched Prince Caspian?"
From Armored Avengers to existential robots, the back half of 2008’s top 10 is more influential than you might think.
