Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 137: Get Out

Evan Crean

“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.

In Episode 137 below we review Get Out, The Boy Next Door, Fatal Attraction, and Single White Female. This week I learn the meaning of the term “hippie lettuce” and the results are mind blowing, well to me anyway. Kris opens with a segment of “Keepin’ up with the Jensons” (at 4:40) where he talks about how great the performances in Fences are and why he didn’t mind the Google Earth portions in Lion as much as other people. Next, I share my psycho stalker weekend. No, I didn’t stalk anyone. I just watched The Boy Next Door, Fatal Attraction, and Single White Female within two days and dug them all for their unhinged villains and insane plot twists. Lastly, we all review the horror film Get Out (at 30:38), Jordan Peele’s tremendous directorial debut, which we all had the privilege of seeing. We have so much fun spoilerpiecing their screening’s engaged audience, the sense of terrifying dread that Peele creates, and all of the subtle foreshadowing Peele lays down for the frightening events that follow, that we end up running a little longer than usual.

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.
