Spoilerpiece Theatre 257: Always Be My Maybe

In Episode 257 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre we review The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Shaft, I Am Mother, and Always Be My Maybe. After debating whether Janis Joplin wanted a pizza your heart, Kris, Dave, and I get down to the diverse slate of movies this week on Spoilerpiece. First up is festival-favorite The Last Black Man in San Francisco (3:50). Then it’s SHAFT (16:12), which is not another reboot of Shaft, but a sequel to Shaft. Did that make sense? Yeah, Shaft doesn’t either. Then Dave and I get into I Am Mother (33:45), a new Netflix flick about a robot that may or may not be evil. Then it’s Always Be My Maybe (45:48), with Ali Wong and Randall Park.

Evan Crean

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.
