Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 108: Suicide Squad

"Spoilerpiece Theatre" is a weekly movie podcast where I talk about new releases with fellow BOFCA critics Dave Riedel and Kris Jenson. We don't give a shit about spoilers. We just want to talk about the movies.In Episode 108 below, we review Suicide Squad, Bad Moms, and Stranger Things. Unfortunately Dave needs to leave mid-episode this week due to a minor emergency, but don’t worry, he’ll be back next time! Before he takes off though, he gets to hear me talk about Bad Moms (at 3:46). I describe why this unfunny comedy has a noble message that it stupidly undermines the entire time. I also describe why it can’t seem figure out how far to go with its jokes. Following that, Kris reviews the much-anticipated Suicide Squad (at 22:14). Sadly, he has more good things to say about the burger he ate after the movie than the movie itself. Over the course of his talk, he reveals why he upgraded his review from, “It’s stupid, don’t see it,” to “It’s toxic, shun it.” Finally he and I conclude with Stranger Things (at 42:28), the Netflix series that everyone has been talking about. We delve into the show’s layered plot, sharing exactly why it resonated with them. And of course, because this is Spoilerpiece Theatre, we dig into some plot holes that got on our nerves in an otherwise tremendous series.
