33: ‘RoboCop’ Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson
It was Valentine’s Day Weekend and love was in the air. So, of course, this week on the show we tackle Robocop. Well, ok, nobody “tackles” Robocop. Although…ED-209? No, they don’t really “tackle” things. They just shoot them. So, um, anyway…this week’s podcast is about Robocop. Did it recapture the dark-comedy heights of the original? […]
32: ‘The LEGO Movie’ Starring Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett
This week on Reel Spoilers everything is awesome. And if you’re one of the people who helped The Lego Movie rack up $69 million in its opening weekend then that song is now stuck in your head. You’re welcome. But it’s veritable love-fest on the show this week as we all take turns gushing over […]
31: ‘Labor Day’ Starring Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet, Peach Pie
This week Hollywood ushers in the month of February with Labor Day. We don’t get it either (other than the chick-flick counter-programing to Super Bowl Weekend). Written and directed by Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air) one would think they’d be in for a treat. One would be wrong. The results left all of […]
30: ‘I, Frankenstein’ Starring Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Miranda Otto
This week on Reel Spoilers we subjected ourselves to I, Frankenstein. It wasn’t screened for critics however, since it was such a slow week for new releases, we took it upon ourselves to see the movie. When will we learn? So, since we subjected ourselves to this craptacular movie you are now legally obligated to […]
ReviewSTL Podcast Episode 11: Martin Scorsese Films in Honor of ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’
Few filmmakers have had as much influence or success as Martin Scorsese. Some directors have a golden era and fizzle out, while others burn out after one triumph, never to be heard from again. Scorsese, though, has continuously put out excellence in a career spanning decades. In honor of The Wolf of Wall Street, we […]
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 […]
ReviewSTL Podcast Episode 10: Best and Worst Films of 2013
In honor of Blake returning to the land of the living, we toss back some drinks and listen to the story of his journey through Hades and back… Just kidding. This week, we tackled what we considered our favorite films of the past year. 2013 had no shortage of quality films, and we were all […]
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 […]
