Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 89: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

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 89 below, we review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, and Kung Fury. Dave couldn’t make it at the last minute, so frequent guest Charlie Nash steps in to help out this week. After the we discuss an idea Kris has for a movie, that he definitely shouldn’t be the one to write, we delve into the zany short film Kung Fury. Charlie hasn’t seen it, so Kris and I convince him to check it out by spoilerpiecing how its hero acquires his kung fu powers. Then it’s up to me to describe My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, or as I call it, My Big Fat Sequel. I’m annoyed by how hypocritical it is, which leads to a tangent about another hypocritical movie: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Once I finish sharing all the reasons why MBFGW2 wasn’t good, all three of us tear into Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Charlie describes how it looks like shit (dark, murky, and brown) and explains why Batman and Superman are wrong in their worldviews. I crap on it too for its poor direction and editing. Kris is no fan either, but he provides interesting context for the movie in relation to comic book storylines and describes the few things he did actually like about it.
