Spoilerpiece Theatre 256: Dark Phoenix

On Episode 256 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Bed and Sofa, American Woman, and Dark Phoenix. On this week's episode, Kris sells Dave on Bed and Sofa (3:36) made in the USSR in 1927, and his favorite of his recent dive into classic Russian/Soviet film. It's often described as "scandalous" but it's so much more than that, and well worth your time whether or not you're familiar with the era. Then Dave recaps American Woman (16:58), a film that can get mired in melodrama but is anchored by good direction from Jake Scott and a phenomenal performance by the underappreciated Sienna Miller. Kris wraps things up with Dark Phoenix (31:09), which sucks.
