Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 100: The Conjuring 2

“Spoilerpiece Theatre” is a weekly movie podcast where I talk about new releases with fellow BOFCA critics Dave Riedel and Kris Jenson. We don’t give a shit about spoilers. We just want to talk about the movies.

In Episode 100 below, we review The Conjuring 2, Now You See Me 2, Tale of Tales, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Spoilerpiece Theatre turns 100 this week, so we do something special to thank their fans! Since it’s the 100th episode that also means Dave has finally seen Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Does he appreciate it as emphatically as Kris? Find out starting at the 4:00 mark. Next Kris and I cover The Conjuring 2 (at 17:53), a super long James Wan horror movie with a lot of jump scares and a lot of little annoying things that make me very angry. After my anger cools, I review Now You See Me 2 (at 42:38), which has some great magic scenes, but a convoluted plot that relies too much on you remembering information from the first movie. Lastly, Kris discusses Tale of Tales (at 54:54), a messed up Italian anthology film that confuses the heck out of Dave and me with its interwoven tales that have no connection. Kris uses the conversation as an opportunity to state his case about why there should be more anthology films and television shows.
