29: ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’ Starring Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Kenneth Branagh
This week on the show it’s Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Tom Clancy’s marquee character returns to the big screen and puts the “meh” in “meh-diocre”. What is there to say about a movie whose villain’s “iconic” moment involves threatening someone with a light bulb? As it turns out…not much. So join us for a meandering […]
28: ‘Her’ Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams
This week on the show we dig into Her. We delve into Her? We tackle Her? As you’ll hear this is a joke we do not tire of. Ever. The movie of the week stars and Joaquin Phoenix as a man who falls in love with an Operating System (yeah, you read that right) and […]
27: ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie
This week on the show we welcome our first ever guests (Steve Kelley has technically been a guest, but since he already writes for ReviewSTL we’re choosing to ignore that) to the bunker. From 97.1 FM NewsTalk (KFTK) it’s Carl “The Intern” Middleman and Max Foizey. So enjoy the mayhem as they tell us why […]
26: ‘American Hustle’ Starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence
This week on Reel Spoilers we’re down to three people. Damn, you holidays. But we forge on and tackle American Hustle. It’s an all-star cast featuring Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence and a whole bunch of people whose names I don’t feel like typing. But they’re really important and all “actory” in […]
25: ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ Starring Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbatch
After a week off Reel Spoilers is back and more spoilery than ever. This week it’s all about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Here’s a little Tolkien trivia for you. Did you know that Wikipedia describes Smaug as a “fictional dragon”? This can only mean that dragons are real! Holy shit! It must be […]
24: Christmas Merry Movie Fun Time Explosion
This week on Reel Spoilers we have shunned new releases. It was a light week as most studios feared Hunger Games: Catching Fire wasn’t done sucking up all the money in the marketplace. (And rightly so). Frozen came out but kids movies don’t really lend themselves to what we do (Spoiler Alert: It was cute […]
23: ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Philip Seymour Hoffman
This week on Reel Spoilers it’s all about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Bad news for fans of snark because, well…we all actually liked it. But you can’t talk about a movie based on a series of “Young Adult” novels without bringing up Twilight. So our snark streak continues abated. Whew! Also, we give a […]
21: ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston
This week on Reel Spoilers it’s “hammer time”. See what we did there? We’re talking about Thor who has a hammer. But then we made a nostalgic ‘90s reference because everyone loves those. You’re welcome. What else can we say about Thor? It’s not exactly like we can fact check the thing. This ain’t Captain […]
20: ‘Ender’s Game’ Starring Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld
This week on Reel Spoilers we spend a little bit of time on Last Vegas and 12 Years a Slave. Although when 5 white guys sit around talking about 12 Years a Slave you can’t help but think that somehow they missed the point. Luckily things quickly take a turn for the, um…homophobic with Ender’s […]
19: Halloween Movie Fun-Time Special Edition Spectacular (Director’s Cut)
This week on Reel Spoilers we… take a pass on Bad Grandpa. I mean, c’mon… Johnny Knoxville (Generation X’s Alan Funt) gets his (prosthetic) junk stuck in stuff and falls down/goes boom. What can we really add (or subtract) from that equation. You’re either on board or you not. Instead, we present a special Halloween […]
