Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 88: Allegiant – Part 1

“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 88 below, we review The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 1 and Working Girl. We stumble onto our new band name this week before we talk about my vacation to LA, which involved lots of decadent eating. After a Garfield tangent, Kris and I ponder why so many people seem to get shot in the back during The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 1, a story we didn’t realize would be told in two parts. Kris then describes how Jeff Daniels is like his character in The Martian only evil, and about why he’s “one of those bad guys who has an adjective.” With all the film’s issues, I share why I still prefers= the series to The Hunger Games. Following a tangent about westerns, specifically Young Guns, the episode transitions into Dave and I discussing another 80s movie: Working Girl. I have no idea how much Dave loves the film, and is totally unprepared for how well Dave can quote it. The two of us enjoy spoilerpiecing it for Kris with talk about Harrison Ford’s grimace, its memorable lines, and its portrayal of workplace politics.
