This week we discuss S1 E7 of According to Jim “Cheryl’s Old Flame.” This episode touches on parenting and broken promises, but it also teaches us that we all have our flaws. Enjoy the show as June Belushi month rolls on.

If you had an opportunity to change your life for even just a moment would you do it? This week I review Mr. Destiny as June Belushi month continues. This film mirrors others that are very similar but it is a good family film with laughs and tears. Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to Shufflebox’s annual June Belushi month celebrating the actor Jim Belushi! We start this year with Season 1 Episode 6 of According to Jim titled “The Crush.” I also provide a movie recommendation that is non Jim Belushi related. Enjoy the show this week and enjoy June Belushi month!

This week Marcello joins the show to discuss The Holy Mountain. This fever dream of a movie is known to be a deep discussion piece and many people who study film love this film…..I however, do not. Enjoy Marcello being back for this episode and enjoy the show!

This week we look at the 2014 horror movie Clown. It released in the US during the killer clown phase, but that was all a coincidence. This movie has a decent story but the pacing is what made it fall short. The cast was great and was not clowning around by any means. Enjoy the show!

Do you like movies where appliances attempt to take over the world? What about a movie where a fat guinea pig almost causes the collapse of humanity by eating cake? What about a movie where the whole sound track is the same 2 Black Eyed Peas songs over and over again? Well luck for you this movie has all of it! You couldn’t “G-Force” me to watch this film again.

This week I review the classic 1977 film Smokey and The Bandit. This movie was so much fun to watch and the car chase scenes still hold up nearly 50 years later! Enjoy the show.

This week there is no movie, just a depressing rant on one of the most abysmal sports franchises in all of Major League Baseball the Colorado Rockies. The start of their 2025 season is one of the worst in the history of the sport, but it didn’t just start this season. The history of the Rockies has been bleak for the most part, and you’ll hear all about it on this week’s show.

This week I review an amazing film. Sinners is the movie this week and I am so excited for you to hear my thoughts on this film. If you haven’t seen the film for yourself I highly recommend it, it has so many different topics and elements that I don’t think you can categorize it under just one genre. Enjoy this week’s show!

This new take on the Fairy Tale “Jack and the Beanstalk” had mix reviews when it originally came out and was a box office flop. I absolutely enjoyed my time watching this film, but will it Fe-Fi-Fo-Bum you out? Let me know and enjoy the show!

The Visit is the film I review this week but does it still hold up almost 10 years after its release? This M. Night Shyamalan film has a dark twist and is quite suspenseful. Will you get inside the Shufflebox to clean it? Enjoy the episode!

This week Myth meets Movies as I review Jason and the Argonauts. Does the Greek epic translate well to film ? Does the story continue to transcend time? Upon release it was a box office bust but over the decades it is remembered fondly and even considered an all time great film. Enjoy this week’s show!

This week Marcello joins us for a Story Time about his recent experience with Dark Disco. The cult like advertisements aren’t what they seem and the experience is definitely different. In true Marcello fashion, we also get a brand new rant that goes off of the rails and we get a guarantee that Alex will get into a mosh pit at a punk show…….eventually! You’re going to enjoy this episode!

This week I review the movie Assassin’s Creed. The video game franchise is one of my personal favorites, but how does the movie adaptation hold up in comparison? Enjoy the show!

This week I review the 2025 film Captain America: Brave New World. Sam Wilson embraces his new role as Captain America leaving behind his Falcon persona. He helps the world on its time of need with friends both old and new. How does the Marvel film compare to the recent string of subpar comic book films? Enjoy the show.

This week I review the 1971 action thriller “The French Connection .” This film leads us on all kinds of twists and turns as detectives strive to bring justice to criminals and drug dealers manipulate a the system and try to get away with a big pay day. Enjoy the show!

This week I review the film Above The Film. This film is not only about basketball, but it also shows all of the difficulties that people face in their day to day life just to make it through to the other side. Tupac Shakur plays such a good villain in this film, I suggest that you check it out!

This week I welcome Marcello back to the show and we celebrate his birthday with a movie of his choice. This time we talk about Swingers and how it can be looked at as a night out with true friends and how friends can really help lift you up when you’re down. Check it out!

The book turned film adaptation of “The Serpent and The Rainbow” is the movie we look at this week and it was viewer recommended. This Wes Craven film delves into Voodoo practices and shows how evil people can become. Does it hold up all of these years later? Tune in to find out!

This movie was phenomenal and I highly recommend watching this film. This week I discuss the plot in its chronological order rather than its reverse chronological portrayal. I would love to revisit this film for a discussion episode in the future. Enjoy the show!

This week’s episode is on the 2025 comedy “One of Them Days.” Those of you that voted on which type of movie you’d like to hear next chose a comedy film.
