Spoilerpiece Theatre 248: Little

Evan Crean

In Episode 248 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre we review the documentary Amazing Grace, the comedy Little, and Hulu’s Into the Dark: I’m Just F*cking with You. Kris has a nasty case of the super plague so guest Kristen Halbert joins me and Dave in hating on kale before the movies this week. First Dave describes why watching the Aretha Franklin documentary Amazing Grace (3:51) is a spiritual experience. Then Kristen and I talk about why Little (11:37) is absolutely hilarious and genuine despite the fact that it borrows from several films about adults turning into the child versions of themselves. Lastly, all three of us join forces for I’m Just F*cking with You (27:45), the latest in Hulu’s Into the Dark series, which has them looking for excuses to talk about literally anything else. Tangents ahoy! Also don’t forget to sign up for our Patreon, where you can hear exclusive audio, like this week’s clip of Evan and Dave discussing All the President’s Men.

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. This site, Reel Recon.com, is a one-stop-shop where you can find links to all of my past and present work. Have any questions or comments after checking it out?
