Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 187: The 15:17 to Paris
In Episode 187 below, we review The 15:17 to Paris and Fifty Shades Freed. This week starts with the guys yakking about the Ready Player One trailer, since Dave and I were forced to watch it twice in one sitting. The rest is about two new pictures coming to theaters. First, Kris reviews Fifty Shades Freed (3:41), the final chapter in the franchise, which he says redefines the term “captive audience.” Kris laughs at its batty kidnapping plot and explains how it connects to Fifty Shades Darker, a movie that recently made him subscribe to HBO, just so he didn’t have to buy it on Amazon. Next, me and Dave take on Clint Eastwood’s The 15:17 to Paris (29:22), a film so bad it actually makes me jealous of Kris. We rail against Eastwood’s decision to use real people instead of actors, its terrible dialogue, and its boring focus on minutiae.
