Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 133: Gold
“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 133 below, we review the Matthew McConaughey film Gold. Baby Henry is under the weather, prompting Dave to quarantine himself – so guest Dede Crimmins joins Kris and I this week to talk about the ‘90s and lots of film-related topics. Dede fills us in on her latest adventures, which include recording a DVD commentary, and participating on panels at the Arisia science fiction convention. Following some philosophical discussion about horror, Dede shares three movies to look out for this year (at 13:00): Raw, The Bad Batch, and Colossal. After that, she and us discuss the 2017 Oscar nominations (at 21:52), revealing surprises and disappointments in the major categories. Finally, all three of us review this week’s new release Gold (at 33:50), the Matthew McConaughey gold prospecting movie that Kris describes as American Hustle on NyQuil. Dede and I find it charming for McConaughey’s spirited performance as a balding, overweight, drunk, but we admit that we’ll probably forget it in a week.
