Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 45: Tomorrowland

Britt Robertson in TOMORROWLAND

“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 45 below, the Spoilerpiece Hotline receives a call from Dave?! He has a special message for our listeners, so please excuse the audio quality. Then guest Dede Crimmins joins us to talk about the Mad Men series finale, the state of horror movies in 2015, and the Brad Bird film Tomorrowland starring George Clooney. If you don’t want MAD MEN spoilers, fast forward to 13:20, where you’ll hear Dede tell us about 2015’s hits and misses in horror. You can also learn the plural of Duplass and why The Human Centipede is “the most tasteful ass to mouth you can find in the theatre.” While talking about horror, we swap stories about movies that scared each of us growing up and Dede shares how she got into writing about horror. Everything gets wrapped up with discussion about Tomorrowland, which everyone thought was an overbearing pessimistic film with delusions of Randian and Orwellian grandeur.

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.
