Spoilerpiece Theatre 259: ANNABELLE COMES HOME

Who the hell did the fancy lettering on the sign for Annabelle's cage?

In Episode 259 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Miami Vice, Midsommar, and Annabelle Comes Home. Unclear restaurant hours can really throw a wrench in your morning, as Dave discovered this week. Once he finishes airing his grievances, he thanks Kris for his inspirational review of War and Peace from the previous episode, and proceeds to rip into Michael Mann’s Miami Vice (6:00), which takes the worst elements of the show and translates them into movie form. Next Kris breaks down Midsommar (15:11), the new film by Ari Aster, writer/director of Hereditary. According to Kris, this movie is very different, but also *not* very different from Aster’s previous work (i.e. he dug it). Lastly, everyone digs into Annabelle Comes Home (39:45), a reasonably tense haunted house movie that throws several monsters at the wall to see what sticks.

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.
