“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.
Merry Christmas from Spoilerpiece! In Episode 76 below, we talk about The Hateful Eight, The Big Short, and Carol. Dave is out sick with a stomach bug, so Kris decides to share his own gross stomach bug experience out of solidarity. He and I then talk about the lush visuals and excellent craft in Carol, a Todd Haynes movie that impressed our colleagues, but underwhelmed both of us with its inert plot. After that we review The Big Short, an unexpectedly sharp film about the financial crisis made by the same guy who did Step Brothers and the Anchorman movies. We wrap with our extensive thoughts on Quentin Tarantino’s latest picture The Hateful Eight, a sadistic story that will forever change your perception of the song “Silent Night.”
