Spoilerpiece Theatre

Whoa! All three of us saw the same movies this week! Kris talks about interviewing Maziar Bahari, whose story is dramatized in "Rosewater." Evan and Dave are sure that most people who see "Dumb and Dumber To" won't realize "To" is misspelled. And then we all tear "Dumb and Dumber To" a new one.

We cover a lot of ground this week. Christopher Nolan’s INTERSTELLAR! BIG HERO 6! And Evan brings up that last week we forgot to talk about GHOULIES (which screened at the Halloween horror overnighter that our guest Deirdre Crimmins and Dave talked about). Plus, we talk about Robert Zemeckis and his crappy motion capture movies; Eddie Money songs; Evan cracks himself up; Kris mentions that he does research; and Dave tries to remember the theme song to the Saturday morning cartoon “Droids.”

Evan couldn't make the recording so Kris and Dave are joined by friend and fellow critic Deirdre Crimmins (check out her work on allthingshorror.com!). This week we yap a ton about horror movies (because this episode premieres on Halloween), and we also get into the excellent Jake Gyllenhaal flick NIGHTCRAWLER and Alexandre Aja's HORNS. The horror movies we touch on include FRANKENSTEIN (1931), THE LOST BOYS, EVIL DEAD II, EATEN ALIVE, and THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, which is easily one of the worst movies to ever grace the silver screen.

We've said this before, but holy crap: Talk about Tangentpiece Theatre. While talking about Keanu Reeves and the serious ass kickings he doles out in JOHN WICK, Michael Keaton's return in BIRDMAN as a leading man, and the very French THE BLUE ROOM, we take left turns into why trailers suck, the French as a people, the Byronic hero, and lots of other stuff. Plus, Dave sings "Two Heads Are Better Than One" for a half-chorus (it's Evan's fault), and Kris explains how John Wick (the character) comes to violence (short version: The bad guys came at him on the WRONG day).

This week we talk Bill Murray in ST. VINCENT and the wonderful feel-good film PRIDE. And of course, we break off into tangents - for example, the age-old question of how one separates an artist from his art. Plus, Evan reveals his love of ranch flavoring and our good friend and colleague Andy Crump fills in for a vacationing Kris.

It's time to talk Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall and "The Judge," and so much of the movie works but even more of it doesn't. How many subplots can one film have? Well, how often can we break off into tangents (covering Van Halen, David Fincher's body of work, the pros of having Evan AND Kris on this week's episode) when discussing "Gone Girl"? HOW MANY, WE ASK YOU? And somehow "Annabelle" snuck in for a moment this week, but that's what evil dolls do.

Evan is back and we're thrilled, but this week Kris couldn't make it to the studio. ("The Studio" is Dave's living room, btw.) But it's October and that means IT'S TIME FOR HORROR! Lucky us, there's ANNABELLE to yap about, and Dave makes no bones about some of the movie's dumb tricks and dumber plot points. Plus, Evan and Dave have a quick chat about THE TRIP TO ITALY, the Steve Coogan/Rob Brydon flick (and the sequel to THE TRIP). And who is that at the start of the episode? Is that Dr. Emmett Brown? Why, yes! We think it is!

Hey, peeps! It's Friday morning and time to spoil the snot out of new releases! This week it's Terry Gilliam's regrettable "The Zero Theorem" and the Dave-and-Kris-loved-it Denzel Washington kill-fest "The Equalizer." Plus, on this episode: TANGENTS. But it wouldn't be Spoilerpiece without tangents, right?

Big day on Spoilerpiece Theatre! Kris waxes animalistic about TUSK; Evan reveals that the animal he identifies with most is a turtle; Dave then brings up "Entourage," which makes Kris nuts; Evan gives the deets on THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU; and Kris and Dave talk about the many finer and many lesser points of A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES. This episode is brought to you by BIG-ASS TANGENTS: When you want to get somewhere...but not yet.

Kris and Dave form a dynamic duo as Evan skips this episode - apparently he was out for urinalysis. But Evan will return! In the interim, Kris and Dave cover "Dolphin Tale 2," "Frank," and "The Drop," which are three very different movies. One is worth seeing. One is maybe worth seeing. And seeing the third one makes you feel like you've been kicked in the nuts. Which one is the nut kicker? LISTEN AND FIND OUT. E-mail us: spoilerpiece@gmail.com. Call us: 862-21-PIECE.

It's a goddamn bumper crop of movies on Spoilerpiece Theatre this week. We've got "The Last of Robin Hood," which only Kris has seen, "The Congress," which Dave and Kris saw (and kind of wish they hadn't), and Evan saw "The One I Love" and delights in spoiling the hell out of it. In fact, this many be the first case of spoiling in history that got Dave and Kris to reeeeeally want to see a movie. There are also plenty of tangents and some anti-Connecticut sentiments throughout.

This week on the podcast we have fun tearing the Pierce Brosnan crapfest "The November Man" to pieces. Then we get into our delight at the re-release of "Ghostbusters." Plus, we break off into lots of tangents about movie villains and all kinds of other stuff. And it's true: This man has no dick.

Kris and Evan shower appreciation on Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City: A Damn to Kill For" while Dave hates it (loudly). There's also some talk of "If I Stay," the few things it gets right, and the one billion things it gets wrong. Plus, the guys get into a tangent on Quentin Tarantino.

Sylvester Stallone and the gang are back for "The Expendables 3," which sparks Kris' rumination on the place of PG-13 sequels in otherwise R-rated franchises. We take lots of turns into Tangent Town, stopping on Die Hard Road, Wesley Snipes Street, and Kelsey Grammer Blvd., and Dave makes a connection between "Predator" and Alfred Hitchcock. We open with a talk about Robin Williams, who died on Aug. 11, 2014.

It's a big day at Spoilerpiece Theatre, kids! We're talking about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Into the Storm. Evan and Kris grew up with the comic and the cartoon, so they have a lot to say. Plus, we get into Sean Connery's Russian accent in The Hunt for Red October, and we finally have a phone number! Call us and let us know what you think of the movies and our commentary. Or be a jerk and don't.

It's time for the double-G, James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the James Brown biopic "Get On Up." Plus, Dave gets two facts really wrong because he talks faster than he thinks. 

Welcome back! It's the second episode of "Spoilerpiece Theatre." This week Evan makes a correction about something he brought up in the first episode, Kris explains why we embrace spoilers, and Dave trips over his own words a lot. Then we talk about Luc Besson's lackluster "Lucy" and Kat Chandler's so-so "Hellion." Plus, Dave freaks out when he learns James Gunn directed the upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy."

In the first episode of Spoilerpiece Theatre, Evan, Kris, and Dave explain the philosophy behind the show (F.U. spoilers), and then get into ripping "The Purge: Anarchy" and "Sex Tape" with Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel new assholes. Then they shower love on "Snowpiercer" and maybe your mom.
