Spoilerpiece Theatre 351: Godzilla vs. Kong

Evan Crean , , , , ,

In Episode 351 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Wolfwalkers, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror, and Godzilla vs. Kong. Dave keeps knives in his microwave?! Find out why this week. We kick off our reviews with Zack Snyder’s Justice League (4:21), a four-hour cut of the 2017 superhero film, which for better and worse, represents its original director’s vision. Next, we talk about the heartwarming Oscar-nominated animated tale Wolfwalkers (20:04). After that, we cover the three-hour documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror (28:59), which is long but offers a fascinating dissection of folk horror films. Our main event is Godzilla vs. Kong (43:00), a kaiju movie with some entertaining fights that’s, unfortunately, lacking in many other departments.

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?
