Spoilerpiece Theatre 243: Captain Marvel
On Episode 243 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Captain Marvel and Lords of Chaos. This week we wonder how the heck RoboCop ended up in a KFC commercial before we tackle the two movies on our docket. First, Kris and I review Captain Marvel (4:35), the Brie Larson superhero flick that’s a pretty mixed bag. Really it’s no worse than any other mediocre Marvel movie, but they take the time to dissect the good things (like the chemistry between Larson and Samuel L. Jackson), as well as the bad things (like its heavy reliance on momentum-killing exposition). Next, Dave, joins in to cover Lords of Chaos (28:57), an in-your-face film about the Norwegian black metal scene and the rise of the band Mayhem, which lived up to its name. That’s all for the regular show – but if you sign up to support us on our Patreon – you’ll also have the chance to hear exclusive audio of us discussing my double feature of The Fugitive and U.S. Marshals, two very different entries in the same franchise.
