Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 204: Ocean’s 8

“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 204 below, we review Ocean’s 8, Total Recall, and Heat. This week, Kris teases with some tasty tidbits about Hereditary (2:58) that don’t give anything away, tabling that conversation for when all of the hosts have seen it. (Do see it yourself before then, though!) Then, me and Dave revisit old favorites: Total Recall (7:15) and Heat (18:14) respectively, delivering some choice observations that come from repeat viewings. Was it all a dream in Total Recall? What exactly is this “cowboy” business all about in Heat? Listen to find out! Then it’s on to the main event: Ocean’s 8 (29:45), a totally fun heist flick full of terrific stars doing what they do best. Though technically a sequel to the Ocean’s movies of yesterdecade, it charts its own path and will charm its way into your good graces thanks to its dedicated cast and solid screenplay. Could it have benefitted from Soderbergh’s direction? Maybe! Is it a blast anyway? Hell yeah!
