POPULARITY
Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guest Scott Mendelson, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT. This week, David Yates' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. As the evil Lord Voldemort lays seige to the wizarding world, only one person stands between the dark lord and complete victory: Harry Potter. However, returning to his old school ground, the boy who lived discovers the forces of evil massing for one final confrontation with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. At time of recording, it was ranked 178th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
The biggest blockbuster of the summer, Barbie, has already passed several box-office milestones and has grossed over a whopping $1.3 billion worldwide as yet. It had already surpassed some of the biggest Warner Bros hits such as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Aquaman, Joker, and The Dark Knight Rises last week. According to the latest figures, the Greta Gerwig film, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has already surpassed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II and has become the highest-grossing film by Warner Bros. of all time. While the film is expected to face some competition from Gran Turismo, Barbie is expected to continue its impressive theatrical run. Well, it's surely the time to party for Greta Gerwig and the team.
Real Estate Investment Trust Months ago at my investment firm, Wilsey Asset Management, we made a decision to go into a real estate investment trust to begin buying class A commercial property that was on sale. I was happy to read recently that the big Wall Street firms are now raising billions of dollars to invest in commercial property that is on sale. If you're considering doing this as well, be sure to understand where the properties are located and verify that they are class A buildings. You also want to make sure you are not overpaying based on the fundamentals of the real estate investment trust and you should understand the debt level and when that debt is coming due. An investor should be able to get a yield of around 5% or higher plus I believe there could be some great appreciation. Keep in mind your investment time horizon for this should be somewhere between 12 and 24 months, do not expect a turnaround in just a few months. Sales Retail sales came in with a good report as sales in July were up 0.7% compared to June. This easily topped the estimate of 0.4% and compared to last year sales were up 3.2%. Gas stations weighed heavily on the report due to lower gas prices as sales decline 20.8% compared to last year. If these were excluded from the headline number, retail sales grew at an even more impressive pace of 5.8% compared to last year. Areas of strength included food services and drinking places (+11.9%), nonstore retailers (+10.3%), and health and personal care stores (+8.1%). Areas that continued to be negative included furniture and home furnishing stores (-6.3%), building material and garden equipment and supplies dealers (-3.3%), and electronics and appliance stores (-3.1%). These categories were all beneficiaries from covid, but with the beginning of the pandemic now more than 3 years ago I do wonder when some of these items that were purchased then will need to be replaced. For example, I do know laptops have an expected life expectancy of around 3-5 years so sales there could start to turnaround in the coming months. Barbie Movie Move over Batman and hello Barbie! Barbie has now become Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) highest grossing domestic film of all-time. The movie has now topped $537M which comes in above Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, which generated $536M in 2008. Barbie does have the benefit of inflation as prices are now higher than 2008, but considering the weak box office post Covid the feat is still quite impressive and it shows the potential reach and advertising power of the recently combined Warner Bros. Discovery. From a global box office perspective, Barbie has collected over $1.2B which would make it the second highest grossing movie worldwide for WBD after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. I personally have not seen the movie, but apparently many people have!

Down in the valley where the girls be drankin' (BLOOD)If you ridin' solo, best prepare to stake 'em1, 2Bite 'em3, 4, Night 'emBefore keeping in line with last week's theme of turning the male gaze against itself, Melle and Jared dive into the Negronomicon, covering topics such as the ending of Squid Game (2021) (spoilers start at 14.25 and end at 19.49) and the prospect of a second season , a slew of newly released/upcoming horror trailers and breaking news about the IATSE strike.Then, find yourselves with us in rundown town after sundown in 1986's "frightening comedy" Vamp, where we put the queerness between AJ and Keith center stage, question the addition of throwaway characters and absolutely revel in the bombastic screen presence of the one and only Grace Jones and the ups and downs of her being silent protagonist.

We all have them. And we've probably spent hundreds of dollars on them. Yes my friends, I'm talking about Theme Park Souvenirs. From on-ride photos to Disney Vinylmations to the dozens of park shirts you have in your drawers, the amusement industry makes a TON of money off of us and our need to commemorate our visits to their parks. But some of the souvenirs we by hold a special place in our hearts (and in our homes.) On this week's show, we explore the best and the worst souvenirs owned by the CoasterRadio.com audience. Believe it our not, there are some heartwarming stories that come along with some of them! We also hear all about EB's trip across America. NOt only did EB encounter the ghosts of lazy Civil War soldiers, he also had a chance to ride a major roller coaster with his son for the first time. The guys also talk about how they saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II with the new D-Box Motion Technology that is making its way to movie theaters across the country. Did EB and Mike enjoy having their theater seats move, sway and vibrate along with the action? All of this, plus a Live Trip Report and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!
