Oops! All Box Office is episode 97 of Blank Check: Special Features and a standalone episode. Posted May 11, 2021.

Summary

Another David meme from the reddit.

For a long time the box office data for any film covered on the pod that was from back in the day was not available….until now! Thanks to author Leonidas Fragias’ e-book series US Weekly Top Ten Grossing Film Charts, Griffin, David, and Ben finally make good on past Box Office Games and go through all the movies they’ve covered from 1971-1981.

Milestones and Ephemera

• Recorded the day after Griffin and Ben got their second shots!
• Griffin loves the "Oops! All..." format, hence the Oops! All Bumpers episode of the George Lucas Talk Show.
• Does not include THX 1138/American Graffiti.
• The Sting: a movie full of SB’s.
• Speed Weed
• Bonus game! Griffin quizzes David on the 2020 Domestic Box Office. Yikes.
