Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 156: Spider-Man Homecoming

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 156 below, we review Caddyshack, Outside Providence, Outsourced, A Fistful of Dollars, and Spider-Man: Homecoming. This week we discuss our favorite Beach Boys song before we talk movies. We only have one big film to talk about, so we spend some time catching up on others they caught recently. In a segment of “Evan Can Wait” aka “Crewind,” I share my experiences watching Caddyshack (6:08) and Outside Providence (14:01) again, as well as my first-time viewing of the romantic comedy Outsourced (20:00). Then Dave recaps his latest time through A Fistful of Dollars (26:29), where he talks about what it has in common with other Sergio Leone Westerns and samurai films. Lastly, we all team up to review Spider-Man: Homecoming (33:40), a Marvel superhero outing that we all really enjoy with believable teenagers facing believable troubles.

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.
