In Episode 272 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre we review Ad Astra, Abominable, and Monos. After five years as cohost, Kris is leaving the show, but not before he shares some memories of his wedding with Dave and me. Then it’s on to the movies! First up, Kris recaps Ad Astra (17:51), the James Gray film featuring Brad Pitt as an astronaut wrestling with his identity after discovering the true fate of his father. It’s worth a watch, even if it’s not your kind of movie, and may win you over with its great lead performance, excellent visuals, and good intentions. Then it’s Abominable (29:13), a family movie about a yeti. It’s good, and you won’t hate yourself if you bring your child/niece/nephew/babysittee to kill a few hours. Dave and I close things out with Monos (39:40), a brutal film about child soldiers that is well made, but fails to resonate beyond its fine performances and excellent score.
