Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 170: Marshall

“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 #170 below, we review Marshall, Raw, The Lego Batman Movie, and Lucky. We are joined by special guest (and my fiancee) Shauna Harris! As a practicing attorney, she sits in to expound on Marshall (34:06), the new biopic about the first African-American Supreme Court justice (before he was on the Supreme Court) Thurgood Marshall. Before that, Shauna and I Crewind to Raw (18:15), the 2016 flick about French-Belgian cannibals, which, we’re not ashamed to say, leads to “Cannibalismpiece Theatre” at 31:09, when we name a bunch of let’s-eat-people movies. But to kick things off, Kris relays his feelings about The Lego Batman Movie (4:23) in a fresh segment of “Keeping up with the Jensons,” and Dave waxes philosophic (not really) about Lucky (9:48), the last movie Harry Dean Stanton appeared in before his death in September.

Evan Crean

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.
