Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 52: Minions

“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 52 below, we talk about Minions, Mr. Holmes, Strangerland, Existence, and A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence. Spoilerpiece turns 1 year old AND Dave is back! We talk about whether it’s okay for him to make “Your Mom Jokes” now that he is a dad. Then Dave jumps into Strangerland, which he dubs “the cinematic equivalent to spit up.” He jokes about how acting skills don’t run in the Fiennes family and wonders how Nicole Kidman is still making movies considering she hasn’t had a good one since 2004’s Birth. Dave did see something good though: A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, which has a terrible title but a really interesting premise. I cover Minions, a film that stars characters who work better in small doses. Finally Kris wraps up the show by reviewing Mr. Holmes, where an elderly Sherlock Holmes has a housekeeper that’s definitely NOT Scottish and he flashes back without acid. Stick around after the closing music for an added bonus.
