Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 90: Everybody Wants Some!!

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 90 below, we review Everybody Wants Some!!, Midnight Special, and Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday. Following a free product plug for one of those mail-in shave clubs, Kris offers a correction from the previous episode. After a few minutes of Dave’s thoughts on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Kris and I talk about Everybody Wants Some!! Richard Linklater’s movie is bro-ey and says the word pussy a lot, but after its first 30-45 minutes both Kris and I really started to enjoy it. Next, Kris describes Midnight Special, a film starring Michael Shannon that’s about a kid who is special. It has people talking obliquely in a car, which annoys Kris, although it does have some really inspired sci-fi elements. The conversation leads to a tangent on Michael Shannon’s weird handsomeness, before Dave and I dive into Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday, which is basically Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure with a smaller budget, better music, and a less insane director. Still, we both dig its humor and find it hilarious. Finally, Kris wraps up with a half review of Hello, My Name is Doris, a film he wanted to make a prediction on before seeing the rest. How will it end? Find out in next week’s episode!

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.
