Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 54: Pixels

“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 54 below, we talk about Pixels, Southpaw, The Tribe, and Infinitely Polar Bear. This week Dave tells everyone more about why he loves Hiding Out with John Cryer and poses an interesting theory about Jim Carrey before Kris shares that he was wearing flannel before it was cool. I kept my promise to see The Tribe so I can’t wait to share my thoughts about how fucked up its graphic scenes of violence and sex are. Then I try to summarize the plot for Pixels, while explaining how terrible it is to Dave and Kris. Thankfully Kris shifts momentum to discuss Southpaw, which is about a boxer who isn’t a southpaw, but he does have his own entourage. Dave wraps up the episode by reviewing Infinitely Polar Bear, a film he enjoyed where Mark Ruffalo plays the kind of bipolar father who tells rivers to go fuck themselves.

Hello! My name is Evan Crean. By day I work for a marketing agency, but by night, I’m a film critic based in Boston, MA. Since 2009, I have written hundreds of movie reviews and celebrity interviews for Starpulse.com. I have also contributed pieces to NewEnglandFilm.com and to The Independent, as a writer and editor. I maintain an active Letterboxd account too. In addition to publishing short form work, I am a co-author of the book Your ’80s Movie Guide to Better Living, which is available on CreateSpace and Amazon. The book is the first in a series of lighthearted self-help books for film fans, which distills advice from ’80s movies on how to tackle many of life’s challenges. On top of writing, I co-host and edit the weekly film podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre with two other Boston film critics. I’m a founding member and the current treasurer for the Boston Online Film Critics Association as well.
