Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 50: Ted 2

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 50 below, Megan Kearns from Bitch Flicks joins Kris and me to lament Hannibal‘s cancellation by NBC before I share a story about Mads Mikkelsen using his creeping powers for good. Then Kris and Megan give me the lowdown on Ted 2, which Kris says is filled with “uncomfortable sincerity, along with a lot of failed jokes.” After that Megan and me talk about how much we enjoyed Queen Latifah and Mo’Nique’s performances in the HBO biopic Bessie. Kris follows up with a brief interlude about foam penises and failed orgies in The Overnight. Finally, Megan brings everything together with Kate Winslet’s A Little Chaos, which she appreciates for showing more than telling.

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. This site, Reel Recon.com, is a one-stop-shop where you can find links to all of my past and present work. Have any questions or comments after checking it out?
