The Weekly Podioplex: January 26, 2016

Star Wars: The Force Awakens climbed upward in the box office ranking this weekend, but it wasn't enough to keep it at the top.  In addition, Ride Along 2 didn't hold the spot as well.  A new movie has taken the position, but how long will that last when there are new movie releases for Febraury just around the corner?  Michael Falkner has this and more on an all new episode of The Weekly Podioplex.
