Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 155: Baby Driver
In Episode 155 below, we review Baby Driver, The Big Sick, It’s Us, and The Beguiled. Before we get to our movies, Kris shares a story about an unconventional spice that he accidentally added to a friend’s coffee at the start of this week’s episode. First, Dave covers It’s Us (6:00), a painful, awkward drama with Eliza Coupe that’s one of the strangest relationship movies he has ever seen. Next, I review The Big Sick (15:45), a semi-autobiographical romantic comedy with Kumail Nanjiani that’s funny, sweet, and offers poignant thoughts on familial relationships. After that Dave tackles Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled (28:06), a remake of the 1971 Don Siegel/Clint Eastwood film, where one of the noticeable differences is that Colin Farrell is purposely Irish. To wrap up, all of us take on Baby Driver (42:40), the latest Edgar Wright action flick, which has a lot less driving than we expected, but some entertaining moments and performances none the less.
