In Episode 115 below, we review Queen of Katwe and The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years. This week we get in on the game of using three fictional characters to describe ourselves. Then Kris and I talk about the 70mm and Widescreen Festival at the Somerville Theatre (at 7:04), where we saw Tron and Sleeping Beauty. While discussing how beautiful these films look, we each share new elements that they discovered by watching them on the big screen. After that, Dave provides a “Riedel’s Recap” of Green Room (at 15:56), which offers specific comparisons to Jeremy Saulnier’s previous movie Blue Ruin. Next, Kris delivers a “Keeping up with the Jensons” about Demon (at 21:32), where he offers a very different take on the picture than me. Dave transitions into The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years (at 29:57), a Ron Howard documentary that attempts to whitewash tensions between the band’s members. Finally, Kris and I close out with Queen of Katwe (at 39:10), a Disney sports movie about chess, which is carried by good humor and cute kids learning about life.

“Spoilerpiece Theatre” is a weekly movie podcast where I talk about new releases with fellow BOFCA critics Dave Riedel and Kris Jenson. We don’t give a shit about spoilers. We just want to talk about the movies.
