Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 39: The Longest Ride

“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 39 below, we talk about The Longest Ride, Going Clear, and Merchants of Doubt. Dave shouts “AM I ACTING IRRATIONALLY?” after a long anti-Nicholas Sparks rant. Kris admits he didn’t turn to look at the people behind him at the screening of the Sparks adaptation The Longest Ride because “I didn’t want them to get mad in my face.” Dave and I dip in Scientological waters when they discuss Going Clear, and Dave wraps it up with Merchants of Doubt, the documentary about climate change deniers. There are a million tangents this week, including a lengthy discussion of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s acting choices, Hot Fuzz, and why Spaced wouldn’t work in the U.S.
