After an extensive discussion over whether soggy cereal is yay or nay proposition, Megan talks about the latest remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS (4:39). This one has a feminist bent that Megan welcomed. Then it’s CATS (19:54). No descriptions here – just listen.

In Episode 284 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Black Christmas, Cats, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. After an extensive discussion over whether soggy cereal is yay or nay proposition, Megan talks about the latest remake of Black Christmas (4:39). This one has a feminist bent that Megan welcomed. Then it’s Cats (19:54). No descriptions here – just listen. Finally, it’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (29:37), about which we have lots and lots and LOTS of things to say about the story and how it stacks up against The Last Jedi and the movies that came before it.

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?
