Episode #277: “Terminator: Dark Fate,” “Harriet,” and “Motherless Brooklyn”

Before the movies this week Megan and Dave have some questions about an unusual item on Evan’s desk. With their curiosity satisfied, Megan reviews HARRIET (3:58), the epic Harriet Tubman biopic starring the very talented, yet slightly controversial Cynthia Erivo. Next she and Dave cover MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN (20:36), the Edward Norton noir with modern parallels that deserves a better director.

In Episode 277 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre we review Harriet, Motherless Brooklyn, and Terminator: Dark Fate. Before the movies this week Megan and Dave have some questions about an unusual item on my desk. With their curiosity satisfied, Megan reviews Harriet (3:58), the epic Harriet Tubman biopic starring the very talented, yet slightly controversial Cynthia Erivo. Next she and Dave cover Motherless Brooklyn (20:36), the Edward Norton noir with modern parallels that deserves a better director. Then we all have a blast discussing Terminator: Dark Fate (40:02), the best film in the franchise since T2, because it finally gets what the others were missing: Linda Hamilton.

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. 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?
