Spoilerpiece Theatre 275: Zombieland: Double Tap

Evan Crean

Episode #275: “Zombieland: Double Tap,” “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” “Little Monsters,” “The Lighthouse,” “El Camino,” and “Gary Gulman: The Great Depresh”

This week it’s all about the joys of vegan dairy products before a zombie-heavy meal. First Megan describes LITTLE MONSTERS (2:36), a charming zombie flick that deftly balances cuteness with dark humor. Then she reviews THE LIGHTHOUSE (11:10), an atmospheric period piece with surprising queer undertones.

In Episode 275 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre we review Little Monsters, The Lighthouse, Gary Gulman: The Great Depresh, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and Zombieland: Double Tap. This week it’s all about the joys of vegan dairy products before a zombie-heavy meal. First Megan describes Little Monsters (2:36), a charming zombie flick that deftly balances cuteness with dark humor. Then she reviews The Lighthouse (11:10), an atmospheric period piece with surprising queer undertones. Next, Dave and I cover Gary Gulman: The Great Depresh (16:47), a hilarious HBO comedy special that also bravely discusses mental health. Megan and I follow that up with El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (26:28), a shockingly captivating and tense film based on the AMC show. After that Dave and Megan gripe about the incredibly disappointing Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (38:55). To wrap up, it’s back to the undead for Zombieland: Double Tap, a medium funny sequel that has opinions split between us.
