Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 26: INHERENT VICE, SELMA, and The Worst of 2014

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 26 below, we finally talk about the worst movies of 2014. But since we like to save the worst for last, we weigh in on two new movies we saw: Inherent Vice and Selma. Tangents this week include veganism, pyschadelic drugs, The Big Lebowski, and The Long Goodbye among other things while we discuss Inherent Vice. The episode is a little longer than usual, but that’s mostly because we were having so much fun talking about farts. We promise it will be shorter next time.

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.
