Spoilerpiece Theatre

This week's bullshit segment is brought to you by: horse shit. We all wonder how the special effects guys in BACK TO THE FUTURE III made the manure look so real, and then Dave points out something that Kris never noticed in the first film. Kris is under the weather, but he soldiers through as we discuss RUN ALL NIGHT, CINDERELLA, and IT FOLLOWS. Dave heaps some hate on RUN ALL NIGHT and other Liam Neeson films that piss him off. He mixes up who is Danny and who is Mike in the movie, but it doesn't matter. All he knows is that one looks like a low rent, Ryan Gosling. Kris gets inspired to start a fairy tale metal band before he and Dave talk about how surprised they are by all the praise CINDERELLA is getting. Their description of it reminds Evan of a SIMPSONS reference. Finally, Evan and Kris talk about how creeped out they were while watching the horror flick IT FOLLOWS. Neither of them scare easily, so you know it has to be good.

It's CHAPPIE time on Spoilerpiece Theatre! We delve deeply into Neill Blomkamp's latest dystopian sci-fi flick, which two-thirds of the guys like; talk about Yolandi and Ninja from Die Antwoord; debate the merits of cold pizza on an episode of "Cooking with Kris"; take cheap shots at Nickelback; run through the list of fake names Bart supplies Moe the Bartender with on "The Simpsons"; rip on the title of THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL; and Kris and Dave tell Evan he needs to listen to more Prince.

You know it's a good night at SPOILERPIECE when we break into a lengthy tangent about Journey, Steve Perry, and the video for "Oh Sherrie," which Kris dubs "fuckin' weird." When we're not talking about eighties pop-rock icons, we're talking about aughts icons Tenacious D, and the movies FOCUS (which has a great performance by the underappreciated B.D. Wong), and THE LAZARUS EFFECT. One is worth seeing; one isn't. In other news, Kris fills us in on his ongoing attempts to cook; Evan does more singing than he usually does; and Dave has a question about the Lego Oscar. Oh, what a night!

Ooh! We got your Oscars right here! So we're talking about the glitz, glamor and gauche nonsense that is the Academy Awards. But first we hit the movies we saw this week. Kris made it through THE DUFF, a high school movie that, for Kris, doesn't rank among the great high school movies. Then Evan and Dave saw HOT TUB TIME MACHINE 2—and they're dumber for it. On the plus side, we rip on the Oscars. Dave GOES OFF on the Oscar voter featured in "The Hollywood Reporter," Kris enlightens us about jobs at NASA with funny names, and Evan explains the reason for his particular pronunciation of the word "biopic."

What a week it's been at Spoilerpiece Theatre! The crappy weather here (currently the lead story on several national newscasts) caused several critics' screening cancellations, so all ya get this week is FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, a movie that isn't good, but is as good as any movie could be that started as TWILIGHT fan fiction. And besides, there's plenty to say about it. We get into the nitty gritty of FIFTY SHADES, but not before grousing about Boston's crappy public transportation. Kris, Evan, and Dave all agree on the movie, by the way — and they agree that the best way to talk about it is ridicule ceaselessly while acknowledging the talent of star Dakota Johnson and director San Taylor-Johnson. There are a million double entendres this week, ladies and gentlemen.

We spend a lot of time this week on JUPITER ASCENDING, and not because it's good. Because - JAYSUS - it's really, really bad. Like, so bad. You think THE MATRIX sequels were bad? YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET. This movie is a cesspool of overused ideas and underbaked plotlines. Gah. Evan and Dave absolutely lose their minds. Dave says "It's so stupid" about a million times. At least Sean Bean survives (holy shit)! And at least Kris makes an attempt at putting the movie in a broader cultural context (in his estimation: the Wachowskis made a Y.A. movie on purpose). Plus, Kris finally pissed Dave off, and not the other way around.

Then Kris briefs us on DUKE OF BURGUNDY (which he recommends) and THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE OUT OF WATER (which he reluctantly recommends). Tangents this week include a dip into TITANIC, the new MAGIC MIKE movie, STEP UP, how much arm strength actors have, PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES,and the phrase "show your ass." It all makes sense in the end. We swear.
