Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 66: Crimson Peak

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 66 below, we review Bridge of Spies, Crimson Peak, Steve Jobs, and Goosebumps. Dede Crimmins sets a new record with her fourth appearance as a Spoilerpiece guest. Fresh off her trip to Fantastic Fest, she fills me and Kris in on her favorite films from the fest: The Lobster, High-Rise, Green Room, and Southbound. Then the three of us talk about Crimson Peak, which is beautiful, creepy, and fully-conceived. After that Dede shares her thoughts on Goosebumps, a movie for kids and big kids like me who read the books growing up. Next Kris tackles Steve Jobs, which is directed by Danny Boyle, the first person to direct at the speed Aaron Sorkin writes. Finally, Kris and I close out the show with Bridge of Spies, a picture that’s tense, good-humored, and committed to its character.

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.

  • Great show guys. A few films I’ve noted down to keep an eye out for but Dede’s enthusiasm for Southbound has got me eager to see this one.
