Spoilerpiece Theatre 291: Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey

Evan Crean

Episode #291: “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn),” “Les Misérables,” and “Miss Americana”

It’s not a first, but it doesn’t happen often. We can recommend all the movies we watched this week! First up is the Netflix documentary MISS AMERICANA (4:45) starring Taylor Swift. Megan successfully spoilerpieces Dave and Evan into wanting to see it.

In Episode 291 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Miss Americana, Les Misérables, and Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. It’s not a first, but it doesn’t happen often. We can recommend all the movies we watched this week! First up is the Netflix documentary Miss Americana (4:45) starring Taylor Swift. Megan successfully spoilerpieces Dave and me into wanting to see it. Following is the French film Les Misérables (19:26), which is NOT a musical about a bunch of poor French people who stole loaves of bread and spent years in prison. Finally, Megan and Dave talk about Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (36:30), a movie that is a vast improvement over its predecessor, Suicide Squad, which, not coincidentally, is the subject of this week’s exclusive audio content at patreon.com/spoilerpiece.

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?
