Spoilerpiece Theatre 252: Detective Pikachu

Evan Crean , , , , ,

In Episode 252 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre we review Detective Pikachu and The White Crow. This week Dave shares why he’s training for the New York Marathon and details his preparations for the big race. Next I share my thoughts on THE INTRUDER (4:00), which me and Shauna watched based on Kris’s recommendation. After we delve into nuances and plot holes from the movie, Dave jumps in to review The White Crow (13:05), a Ralph Fiennes film based on a true story he didn’t realize that he knew until halfway through. Following a John Wick tangent, Kris and I tackle Pokemon: Detective Pikachu (23:05) aka Pokemon Detective, a movie neither thinks is good, but one of us found more egregious. Tune in to find out who and to hear me educate Dave and Kris about Pokémon.

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.
