Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 72: Creed

Evan Crean

“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 72 below, our Thanksgiving episode, we review Creed, The Good Dinosaur, Planes, Trains & Automobiles. We couldn’t help but launch into a short riff about the beauty of John Hughes’ Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. It’s that time of year, and it’s also funny to hear Steve Martin say, “I do not play with my balls.” Then Kris and I get into The Good Dinosaur, which, isn’t a good movie. And finally, Kris spoilerpieces the hell out of Creed, the new Rocky movie that is apparently better than it has any right to be. There’s also a Henry update and a brief installment of “Riedel’s Recaps.” We hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and that they didn’t eat themselves sick!

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. This site, Reel Recon.com, is a one-stop-shop where you can find links to all of my past and present work. Have any questions or comments after checking it out?
