It’s time once again for box office judgment day! Our friends BJ Colangelo, Germain Lussier, and Peter Sciretta return to the podcast along with the Filmcast crew to discuss this year’s summer box office. Which films surprised us? And who came out on top when all the points were tallied? Listen to find out!
The Summer Movie Wager is a box office game which is played each summer. You can find the history and play along at http://www.thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for maintaining the site!) The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, IN THE CORRECT ORDER. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get.
Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules:
If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it.
If your picked movie for 2-9 is correct, you score 10 points for it.
If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it.
If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it.
If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it.
If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it.
For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13 points for it.

it's great. listening while I'm working (I'm a painter) and it's so funny, so entertaining, so simple and yet they are really smart in their own way. some times make me see movies in different ways. like I hated Killers of the flower moon and after listening to this I understand that it's actually a good movie. and I hated Don't look up and after listening to this I got sure that I was right. i just wish that they don't talk about political stuff because it's not for them.
The "arsenic" pacing of movie recs got me 🤣🤣

tryed to listen to the evil dead rises episode it's 1hr55min and over half the podcast isn't talking about the film, just make it a 45 min episode about the film, had almost as much talk about Netflix and hbo
always my favorite episode
it's bits like "external entrances" that make this my #1 podcast (that and maybe the discussion on movies ;)
you suck man , Jesus you're boring, I hope the best for you guys but god you're bad at this

Love how the guest starts out being funny and delightful and then half way through gets hammered drunk and becomes totally incomprehensible. Haven't seen this since Affleck was on Bill Maher rambling on about genocide.
Someone should tell Jeff that the Eco Challenge is called World's Toughest Race on the UK...
this makes me glad I actually chose to watch Booksmart in theaters (and loved it!)
I gotta say I agree with Jeff's comment abt reality tv and anything that looks/sounds like it
The chemistry and banter between these three hosts is unmatched. Great film podcast.

Easily one of the best film/tv podcasts in the world. David C, Devindra, and Adam Quigles provide great news and reviews every week and entertain me while doing so. You can't go wrong with the /FilmCast. Awesomeness in a box.
The hosts of this show are fine. They each are clearly enthusiastic but their film knowledge seems quite lacking. If you want to listen to a bunch of guys who sound about 20 talking about modern movies, this is fine. However, for any real deep analytical look at film beyond that, look elsewhere. It could get better but right now it is sorely lacking.
Since the launch of /filmcast, I have been a big fan. The cast provides great insight about old and new movies and TV shows. They are very talented who bring in top entertainment and pop culture bloggers and experts. I love their interactions with one another too. This show is funny, interesting and very intelligent. I highly recommend it to all movie-lovers.
