Box Office Bucket List

Box Office Bucket List is a show hosted by four friends to find out which movies you need to see before you die. The episodes are split into categories and each episode one of the hosts will nominate a movie that they believe is worthy to be on the Bucket List. After each host has had their movies reviewed, for better or worse, the 5th episode in each category is The Debate. During these debates the hosts will fight like hell to get their movie on that list.
