In Episode 221 below, we review North by Northwest, Citizen Kane, Walking the Streets of Moscow, Bad Times at the El Royale, A Star is Born, and The Sisters Brothers. This week, we welcome our old friend Sam Cohen back on the show! Things kick off with two Crewinds: North by Northwest (4:09) and Citizen Kane (7:23), both of which I saw on Filmstruck. If you have classic films that have been on your watchlist for years, FilmStruck is here to help (not a sponsored message, we just dig the service). Next up, Kris (pardon his scratchy post-illness voice) catches up with an old Soviet classic Walking the Streets of Moscow (12:30), a film by Georgiy Daneliya that brings the heart and soul of the French New Wave to 1960s Russia. Sam then talks Bad Times at the El Royale (21:16), bad times that were unfortunately had by the audience as well. Kris gets us excited for A Star is Born (31:41) which is going to win a whole bunch of Oscars and that’s okay. I then finish things off with The Sisters Brothers (44:20), the latest stark, brutal Western about the lawlessness of the early American Frontier.

“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.
