This week's episode of Inside the Bucket is online! Revel in the digital mastery! On this attitude-filled edition of Inside the Bucket , Matt and Brandon are graced by the presence of Sandwich John, who arrives ready to take it to some of our fans! Together, the boys do their best to bring you this week's juiciest movie and television news and reviews from our website SANDWICHJOHNFILMS.COM . As usual, the show begins with all the style of a bull and full of greasy attitude, as they discuss this week's hottest TV and movie news. Topics include a Director for Fast & Furious 8 , the Marvel re-re-adjusted film slate to 2020, and a new poster for Daredevil season 2. They also discuss this week's box office, and breakdown those movies hitting Blu-ray this week. But it's this week's Rants and Raves segment - where they bitch and complain about all the things they're watching, following, and are generally pissed off about from the past week

Here are the movies that got the worst sunburn according to THR . Summer 2015 is expected to go down as one of the biggest in history in terms of overall revenue, but there were a number of high-profile bombs that have left some Hollywood studios smarting. Big stars that got dinged include George Clooney (Tomorrowland), Adam Sandler (Pixels) and Bradley Cooper (Aloha). Directors that took it on the chin were Brad Bird (Tomorrowland), Josh Trank ( Fantastic Four ), Cameron Crowe (Aloha) and Guy Ritchie (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) Here are five big bombs of the season when accounting for budget, marketing spend and revenue the film can expect to earn in ancillary markets. Grosses are through Sept. 4, with several titles still in release worldwide. Tomorrowland (Disney, May 22) Budget: $190 million Global gross: $208.4 million Expected loss: $120 million-$150 million Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4 billion) and Pixar's Inside Out ($703 million), which is s

Age of Ultron to pass $400 million domestically. Note: this is an update to our Saturday story. Story by Matt Cummings No matter how you slice it, this weekend's box office race was more of a dud than an amazing stratospheric accomplishment, with Tomorrowland winning, Pitch Perfect 2 at #2, and Age of Ultron set to cross $400 million domestically. So, why all then negative feelings? First the numbers: with the three-day weekend officially in the books, Tomorrowland took in paltry $32.9m/$41m while owning most of the IMAX screens, which was slightly higher than its projections. It eeked out a win against Pitch Perfect 2 , which crossed the $100m mark on Saturday, all but guaranteeing a sequel (oh, no please don't) with $38.5m. George Miller's dystopian spectacle Mad Max: Fury Road , took in a higher number as well, gassing up to $32.1m for the weekend. Those numbers are impressive, considering the relatively small potential audience; numbers like that m

This week's episode of Inside the Bucket is online! Revel in the digital mastery! On this Memorial Day weekend edition of I nside the Bucket , Matt is joined by television writers Sue, David, and Brandon who basically don't respect Matt and his rather Machiavellian recording rules. Who they do respect is all of you great listeners and followers of our site, and sit down to deliver the best movie and television news from our website SANDWICHJOHNFILMS.COM . Beginning with news, the trio discusses Simon Pegg's quote about Star Trek being "too Trek-y" as well Cinematographer Roger Deakens joining Blade Runner 2 . They delve into the frankly awful selection of Blu-rays being released this week and then break down an interesting box office weekend. Please check out these and many other stories which we've included below. After several drinks and a quick nap, they go into Rants and Raves, where they bitch and complain about all the things they're

Age of Ultron set to pass $400 million domestically. Story by Matt Cummings No matter how you slice it, this weekend's box office race is gearing up to be a close one, with Tomorrowland and Pitch Perfect 2 in a close race for #1. With the three-day weekend officially casting off on Friday, Tomorrowland took in approximately $10.4 million, owning most of the IMAX screens - it should take in an estimated $33-35m for the weekend. However, that might not be enough to win it the top spot: that one might go to Pitch Perfect 2 . On Friday, the comedy-melody mashup took in approximately $10m, which should plpay out to a 3-day tally of $33-34m. It will also pass the $100m mark on Saturday, after only dropping 52% weekend-to-weekend. Coming in at number three is the George Miller dystopian spectacle Mad Max: Fury Road , dropping only 39%, which should see profit between $26-28m for the weekend. Those numbers are impressive, considering the relatively small potential

Disney's Tomorrowland is a mass-branding, incoherent bore. WARNING: Major spoilers ahead. Review by Matt Cummings A young person's mind is like a sponge, taking in anything and everything in an attempt to understand its world and (more importantly) its purpose. Children are wonderfully investigative, perhaps more so than parents would prefer on occasion. For a film like Disney's Tomorrowland , that love of information, imagination, and youthful exuberance should be proudly on display. Instead, it's a mass-branding, incoherent bore that few kids will stick around to finish. The disenfranchised scientist Frank Walker (George Clooney) was once a wide-eyed 10 year-old (Thomas Robinson), enthusiastically dreaming and building machines that he thought would improve his world. As a boy, Frank attends the 1964 New York World’s Fair and meets the British girl Athena (Raffey Cassidy), who gives him a pin that unlocks a magical, futuristic world. Parallel

This week on Inside the Bucket , Matt is joined by members of the television team, Sue and David, who think they own the show by interrupting Matt as often as possible! Bravely, Matt defends his position as engineer of the podcast, so look for witty banter and plenty of sexual innuendo, which have become hallmarks of the show. Also, they deliver the best movie and television news from our website SANDWICHJOHNFILMS.COM .

He also teases the possibility of joining a galaxy far, far away. Story by Matt Cummings With Disney's Tomorrowland ready to premiere in two weeks, Director Brad Bird diverted attention (if only slightly) during a recent interview with Collider , in which he told reporters that The Incredibles 2 is finally happening. We wrote about it back in 2011 , but now it appears the project is finally getting underway. While he's got "a bunch of pages" ready, Bird didn't elaborate as to what time period the superhero family comedy would take place. If you haven't seen the original, Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) and his family try to live a normal life when they're called back into action against the evil Syndrome (Jason Lee). The 2004 movie made over $260 million domestically, but didn't rate well with some critics. However, it's been one of the most debated subjects for fans and animated lovers alike: the question hasn't s

A staggering amount of great films arrive in our May Movie Preview. Story by Matt Cummings & Brandon Wolfe May is the month when the box office awakens from its 4-month sleep, rubs its eyes and stretches its wings to give us a taste of the rest of the year. And while the year has given us some terrific surprises ( Kingsman: The Secret Service and Paddington ) and some poignant moments, ( Furious 7 ), 2015 has honestly been a dud, filled with many high-profile duds ( Chappie , Jupiter Ascending , Seventh Son , 50 Shades of Grey ). But now it's onto May and the beginning of the summer season, a time when Hollywood begins to lay down its big cards hoping for long lines and plenty of popcorn sales. In the past three years, we've seen Iron Man 3 , X-Men: Days of Future Past , Godzilla , and a little 2012 film called The Avengers . This year is no different, as May brings us a staggering amount of quality releases that are worth mentioning. Several appeared in our MOST
