Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 174: Lady Bird

“Spoilerpiece Theatre” is a weekly movie podcast where I talk about new releases with fellow BOFCA critics Dave Riedel and Kris Jenson. We don’t give a shit about spoilers. We just want to talk about the movies.

On Episode 174 below, we review Lady Bird, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Murder on the Orient Express, and Winter Hunt. It’s a big week at Spoilerpiece! Lotsa movies. I fill everyone in on the Boston Jewish Film Festival (3:45) with the four shorts (Join the Club with Ari Graynor, Wig Shop with Emily Mortimer, Black Swell with Richard Kind, and The Chop, about a Jewish butcher who gets a job in halal shop), and one feature (Winter Hunt) I watched in anticipation of the festival’s run from November 8-20. Dave follows at 17:20 with Frances McDormand in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, which he characterizes as one of the best films of 2017. Next up is Kris and Dave with Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express at 30:00. Lastly, all three of us saw Greta Gerwig’s masterful Lady Bird and take turns gushing about how much we love it.
