Why Box Office 'Adjusted for Inflation' is Ridiculous

Whenever a modern movie breaks some box office record you’ll inevitably read an industry professional, journalist, or fan comment about how it doesn’t match up to some old movie when “adjusting for inflation.” People seemingly note this to indicate the current movie box office numbers are not as impressive since fewer tickets were sold. What’s troubling about this qualifier is that it completely discounts all other variables that have decreased box office ticket sales.

GREATEST STAR WARS PODCAST IN THE WORLD - Episode 1

@GeekFurious (Magnus) and Jared aka @JoaquinSlowly discuss Clone Wars, Rebels, and Star Wars in general plus other members of the fandom etc.

This recording was nearly 3 hours long. The final cut is a lot less than that. Unfortunately, tons of good discussions died on the editing-room floor. Also, GeekFurious is a loudmouth! But the mic was low and Jared is louder. Enjoy the music in the background... it prevents me from uploading this to YouTube.

Star Wars - THE FORCE AWAKENS Teaser Discussion

We're back! VladyGG and GeekFurious, in the final podcast of 2014... and maybe ever, talk about the STAR WARS - THE FORCE AWAKENS teaser!

Enjoy!
