Review: ‘Okja’ starring Tilda Swinton, Ahn Seo-hyun, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano
The first great film of 2017 has arrived. Okja is everything a movie should be. The film will make you laugh, cry, and think. For those of you who don’t know about Okja, it’s a new film from Netflix. To think that Netflix could have a film that could contend for an Oscar for Best […]
Review: ‘Life’ Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds
Take a bit of Alien and a splash of Gravity and what do you get? The outcome is Life, the new space-thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds. Director Daniel Espinosa doesn’t change the game with Life, but the film is effective enough to keep your attention for just over 100 minutes. It tells the story […]
122: ‘Everest’ Starring Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal
We’re talking Everest this week but what do we know about mountains? So we brought in some experts. Brothers Mike & Steve Reardon have been to Everest. “Been to Everest” might be a bit of an understatement. They were making their way up the mountain when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal. And it doesn’t […]
121: ‘Everest’ Box Office Report (9/25 – 9/27)
This week the box office report is fast and furious (the regular kind not the driving kind). Joe talks about doughnut licking (thankfully that’s not a euphemism), we discuss the mechanics of late night talk shows, Pirates of the Caribbean and its rapidly declining quality and Joe’s hatred of Eli Roth.And if this episode feels […]

Who Could Be The New Spider-Man?!
Finally. After years of speculation and two lackluster (albeit not from a money making stand point) entries into the Spider-Man mythos, Disney/Marvel and Sony Pictures have come to an agreement to share the rights to The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. This deal will bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and will allow Marvel to […]
67: ‘Nightcrawler’ Starring Jake Gyllenhaal w/ Bonus ‘Before I Go To Sleep’
Man, you guys sure must have done some trick and/or treating this weekend because you sure as hell didn’t go to the movies. The combined box office take for the top two films wouldn’t cover the catering budget on an Avengers movie. (But, in all fairness, there’s a lot of carbo-loading going on there.) Anyway, […]
14: ‘Prisoners’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano
This week on Reel Spoilers we take Prisoners… or take no Prisoners? Take on Prisoners? Hmmm… give me a second here. I’m trying to come up with some clever wordplay. But the movie is a gritty thriller about child abduction so all of our clever puns are pretty offensive. Even to us. And that’s saying […]
