Show notes

Movies like woah on this week's Spoilerpiece. First, Evan teases the book about 80s films that he's been working on with his friend Bryan Krull, prompting a deeper conversation on 80s movies. Then Dave shares his thoughts on THE TRIBE because he finally saw it. Evan's up next to talk about how THE GIFT subverts expectations before Dave goads him into spoiling the movie's big twist. After that, Evan and Kris discuss why they weren't fans of AMERICAN ULTRA (hint: it's about a stoner secret agent and plotted like a stoner wrote it). Dave follows up by quickly exploring why PEOPLE PLACES THINGS is so sluggish and by-the-numbers. And last, but not least, Kris reviews CALL ME LUCKY, a great documentary by Bobcat Goldthwait about Boston comedian and activist Barry Crimmins.
