Spoilerpiece Theatre 280: Knives Out

Evan Crean

Episode #280: “Knives Out,” “Frozen 2,” “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” “21 Bridges,” and “After Class”

This week Evan shares some of his favorite French film titles seen in Montreal before Megan reviews FROZEN 2 (4:30), a sequel with meaningful themes. Next Dave covers 21 BRIDGES (14:35) a predictable film far beneath its talented lead Chadwick Boseman.

In Episode 280 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Frozen 2, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, 21 Bridges, After Class, and Knives Out. This week I share some of my favorite French film titles seen in Montreal before Megan reviews Frozen 2 (4:30), a sequel with meaningful themes. Next Dave covers 21 Bridges (14:35) a predictable film far beneath its talented lead Chadwick Boseman. After that Megan discusses A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (23:55), the poignant movie about Mr. Rogers starring Tom Hanks. She and I have disagreements about the following film After Class aka Safe Spaces (37:58), although we still appreciate a lot of the same scenes. To wrap up, we all chat about Knives Out (49:02), a hilarious whodunit that could have been tighter and more loaded with twists.

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?
