The Number One Movie in America

The Number One Movie in America

BOX OFFICE GOLD, ONE SHOW AT A TIME! Nearly every week, there’s a new NUMBER ONE MOVIE IN AMERICA. Let’s see how four decades of Americans have done at selecting movies, shall we? In each new episode of THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE IN AMERICA, we’ll randomly select a movie that spent at least one weekend atop the box-office charts. Whatever it is, we’ll have to watch it. And tell you whether or not you should. A rebranding of the longrunning review podcast “You Can’t Handle the Truth,” THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE IN AMERICA is Kahmeela Adams, Sean Collier, Robin Hitchcock and Aaron Kleiber. It is recorded at the iHeartMedia Podcast Studio in Pittsburgh. Follow us! @Number1MoviePod @The_RuggedAngel @SeanCollierPgh @HitchDied @AaronKleiber Contains Adult Language

You're forgiven (in fact, fortunate) if you've never heard of C.C. AND COMPANY, a 1970 biker film starring the undynamic duo of Joe Namath and Ann-Margret. The only question: How far down our overall rankings can this sweatfest go?

Plus! Sean gives a why-not shrug to KARATE KID LEGENDS, Robin has similar feelings on BALLERINA and they agree that MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — THE FINAL RECKONING is pretty good.

Immortal hippies! Pinhead-lookin' F. Murray Abraham! Beardless Riker! STAR TREK: INSURRECTION may not be the best movie in the series, but it's definitely ... something. See if anyone other than resident reluctant Trekkie Robin finds something to love!

This week's recommendations: Sean raves about FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES. Robin and Kahmeela are excited about the Apple series THE SEASON and lukewarm on HAVOC. Robi...

Back in a previous decade, we did the first part — so why not finish the series? "Mockingjay — Part 2" wraps up the epic tale of Katniss being reluctantly near pivotal events in Panem history. But can it be more satisfying than its predecessor despite not having nearly enough Donald Sutherland?

Strong recommendations this week for SINNERS, THUNDERBOLTS, ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR and more!

We do an eclectic celebration of the dance — and we do NOT keep it all inside! There's plenty of love in the studio for THE BIRDCAGE, both one of the funniest comedies of the '90s and one of the most successful. We expected the laughs; we didn't expect so many feelings!

(We don't really have any recommendations this week; we talk about movies, but no one was particularly crazy about any of them. All of our love is for...

Are you ready to go back to Titanic? We're finally talking about one of the biggest movies of our lifetimes in this supersized episode.

Plus, Kahmeela and Robin both enjoyed FREAKY TALES, and Sean very much did not enjoy SNOW WHITE nor THE ALTO KNIGHTS (Snowalto Whights?)

This was a movie! It came out in theaters and everything! In spite of the fact that there hadn't been any MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN content in more than 50 years! The results are ... well, listen to the show.

This week's recommendations: Robin is passionate about GHOSTLIGHT and PETITE MAMAN. Sean is perfectly fine with LAST BREATH and gobsmacked by DARK CITY. Kahmeela thinks you should get around to watching JACK REAC...

We're boldly going where this particular podcast hasn't gone before! Despite there being a shocking 12 different Star Trek films on our list, this is the first time we've run into the Enterprise. Will Robin feel like a real Trekkie? Will Kahmeela or Sean be converted? Will Shatner finish a line reading in a timely fashion?

This week's recommendations: Sean and Kahmeela both liked THE MONKEY. Robin and Sean both liked ...

We've been waiting for this one since the beginning! Your co-hosts are all obsessive about the Scream franchise (the original trilogy, at least), and Scream 2 is the earliest chapter in Sidney's saga we can cover, since the original never went to number one. Will our obsessions propel Scream 2 to the very top of our all-time rankings?

This week's recommendations: Kahmeela likes PIECE BY PIECE, Sean likes the 1946 BEAU...

Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man goes straight emo in this sequel with more villains than ideas! Sam Raimi's final adventure with the webslinger (so far) was a global smash hit, even as it became an internet punchline; will our crew find something to redeem it, or is it just a series of memes?

Elsewhere, Sean and Robin give a heavily qualified endorsement to COMPANION, Kahmeela raves about STRANGE DARLING, Robin ...

Let's reflect on the days when the internet was an outwardly charming place that could rot your soul! (As opposed to what it is now, an outwardly hostile place that will rot your soul.) Ralph is an influencer and Vanellope makes some royal friends in RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET!

Plus, Kahmeela likes JOKER 2 just fine, Robin begs you to avoid THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE and Sean is charmed by THE LAST SHOWGIRL. Also: Reflec...

We're counting down our favorite new films of 2024 — and recapping a (deeply underwhelming) year of NOMIAs from the podcast! Plus movies we'd like to punch, anticipated 2025 releases and more bad music takes!

Hitch a ride on a passing wagon and slide right into the uncanny valley with Disney's A CHRISTMAS CAROL! Scrooge is back, and this time he's a bizarre digital creation that sounds (but does not look) like Jim Carrey. Bizarre Zemeckian oddity or ... wait, one of us liked this???

Recommendations abound in this season of prestige pics, including DAY OF THE FIGHT, QUEER, SING SING, NIGHTBITCH and A DIFFERENT MAN.

Our backward stroll through Bond history continues! We've covered Brosnan and Moore; now we get to the classic version, as Sean Connery tangles with an over-the-top, entirely dubbed madman in GOLDFINGER! That song, though!

Plenty of recommendations to be found in this one, including Gladiator II, Nickel Boys, Nosferatu and Heretic!

One of only two Coen Brothers movies to win a weekend at the box office, BURN AFTER READING is the comedic counterpoint to their Oscar dominating No Country For Old Men. It's got a good cast, a wacky premise and some laughs! Does it have depression political reality? Kinda!

This week's recommendations include a joint endorsement of JUROR NO. 2, light praise for A REAL PAIN and THE APPRENTICE and a rave for THELMA.

Sweet cozy sweater of a movie or deeply weird death party? Why not both? PRACTICAL MAGIC has movie stars, '90s fashion and a deeply satisfying soundtrack — but what's with all the death and violence in this alleged romcom?

This week's bevy of recommendations include HERE, ANORA, NIGHTBITCH, SUPER/MAN, HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS ... we talk about a lot of movies, folks.

So this one is supposed to be about the fourth chapter in the demons-on-camera franchise ... but we all watched somewhere between three and seven of the movies, so it quickly turns into a recap of the whole PARANORMAL ACTIVITY saga. (If we draw the second movie next time, we're really not gonna have anything to talk about.) Grab your Kinect, let's get spooky!

An abbreviated recommendations section this week, but Sean ...

We're going back to the Conjuring Universe (kinda), and that can mean only one thing: A sinister, slightly damp lady screaming at children! THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA is ... not the best remembered in this franchise; will it make us weep by the river?

Plus, Robin is team I SAW THE TV GLOW, Kahmeela is team SMILE 2 and Sean, in open defiance of logic and reason, is team JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX.

Spooky season is here! And we're kicking off with a visit with Hannibal Lecter (who is neither late nor great). We've already talked about Silence of the Lambs, so let's skip ahead to RED DRAGON, the one with the tiger and the fire and the loaded cast!

Plus, Kahmeela recommends REBEL RIDGE, Robin goes Dad mode with HORIZON, Sean and Kahmeela like SPEAK NO EVIL to varying degrees and a certain Megaflopolis is discussed...

You're welcome and/or we're sorry, parents: We're talking about "PAW Patrol" this time! Commiserate with us as we try to untangle the complicated civic structure of this alarmingly pup-controlled society. Elsewhere, we all saw "Blink Twice" and have plenty of thoughts, a brief discourse on the perils of fame and someone makes their podcast debut! Someone in the target audience, yet!

Oh ... oh no. Oh no. Oh, no no no. No. Just ... no.

This week's recommendations: Sean really likes SING SING and is just fine with ALIEN: ROMULUS. Kahmeela is here for the series DOMINO DAY. And Robin is fascinated by, but feels a bit icky about, ELIZABETH TAYLOR: THE LOST TAPES.
