Spoilerpiece Theatre 344: Rose Glass’s Saint Maud

Evan Crean

In Episode 344 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Saint Maud, Malcolm & Marie, The Wanting Mare, and A Nightmare Wakes. Dave can’t make it, so Dede Crimmins fills in! After discussing cats on Zoom, we dive into this week’s movies. First up is Shudder’s A Nightmare Wakes (3:25), Nora Unkel’s period horror flick which follows Mary Shelley as she writes Frankenstein. Next, we review The Wanting Mare (13:00), Nicholas Ashe Bateman’s surreal fantasy about dreams, longing, and yes, a mare. Then it’s Netflix’s Malcolm & Marie (26:43), Sam Levinson’s movie about a couple’s volatile night of arguments. Finally, we cover Saint Maud (46:38), Rose Glass’s horror film about a pious nurse who becomes unhealthily obsessed with trying to save her patient’s soul.

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?
