Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 202: First Reformed

Ethan Hawke plays a fatalistic minister in Paul Schrader's First Reformed

“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.

In Episode 202 below, we review we review First Reformed, On Chesil Beach, Bye Bye Germany, and Michael Mann’s Thief. We RARELY make mistakes on Spoilerpiece, but when we do, we don’t cower or deny it. WE OWN IT, MAN. So we start off Episode 202 with a correction (2:59) regarding our DEADPOOL 2 segment from Episode 201. Then it’s “Keeping Up with the Jensons” because Kris saw Solo: A Star Wars Story (4:39)! Next it’s new movie time. Dave fills Kris and me in on Paul Schrader’s First Reformed (7:25), I give everyone the skinny on Bye Bye Germany (17:05), and Dave spoilerpieces one of the saddest movies he’s ever seen, On Chesil Beach (26:53). Finally, Kris and Dave talk about Michael Mann’s Thief (37:20), which they both saw for the first time. And if you love the show, don’t forget to join our Patreon!
