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.

Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams
Save the whales! Staying with our odd recent focus on the year 1981, we take a look at the third Cheech & Chong caper, NICE DREAMS, which has silent-movie homages, Pee-Wee, a surprising number of sturdy bits, an even more surprising number of helicopter shots and one to two good songs! Oh, and it has weed.
Recommendations: Robin gives a cautionary endorsement to A THOUSAND AND ONE. Sean likes STEVE!, the Steve Martin documentary. And multiple members of Kahmeela's household are into TANGLED. -
There's Something About Mary
Ah yes, a comedy classic that ... wait, hmm, we haven't thought much about this movie in the past 25 years. What happens, again? The plot is about what? They make fun of who? Oh. Oh no. Oh boy, not at all. Oh, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY should really have stayed as a memory.
In better news: Sean discovers the joys of EVENT HORIZON and Kahmeela catches up to HELL OR HIGH WATER, while Robin has many thoughts on ROAD HOUSE. (Both versions.) -
Mommie Dearest
Sean finally won a movie draft, even if he was decidedly unclear on what the movie he selected was! MOMMIE DEAREST is a biopic turned into a horror movie, as Joan Crawford gets obliterated by the industry she helped build. It's sort of weird that this movie exists!
Plus, Robin grapples with her growing love of DUNE, Sean has some qualified praise for IMAGINARY and Kahmeela at least sort of watched MARCEL THE SHELL. -
Night School
Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish team up in a movie that would've been better served as a sitcom ... or maybe a Super Bowl commercial. NIGHT SCHOOL has heart but a script that needed a bit longer in the oven; will we find anything to like (outside of Fat Joe, who is obviously a treasure)?
Plus, in this week's recommendations, a long discourse on whether or not MADAME WEB is worth looking at. -
Safe House
The poster told us that "No One is Safe," so I'm not sure the titular SAFE HOUSE is doing its job! CIA vanilla pudding cup Ryan Reynolds and spy with a bad name Denzel Washington tear through Cape Town in a tense, if not exactly fascinating, game of spycraft! At least Robin can give us valuable South Africa travel tips!
Plus, in this week's recommendations, we all love THE GREATEST NIGHT IN POP! -
Guarding Tess
It's the movie that made Shirley MacLaine and Nic Cage co-adopt a zebra! (Listen, it'll make ... slightly more sense.) GUARDING TESS took the box-office crown in the midst of a year full of comedy; 30 years later, is watching two icons yelling at each other still funny?
We've got recommendations, sure, but we've also got OSCAR NOMINATION MADNESS!
