Find another review if you want real movie advice
After listening to 20 of these podcasts I am deleting the Spoiler from my queue. Comprised of a short format that does not really discuss the movies in any depth it not what I am looking for. The reviews are shallow with little useful content. If these reviewers were here on the west coast they would be valley girl air heads. There are much meatier casts on the menu that give great insight on these films. In the majority of the Spoiler casts the reviewers complained that they did not really get the plot or intent of the movie. They could not, for instance, understand Pirates of the Caribbean 2 or the Prestige. Any film that was comic book, fantasy, or sic fi was incomprehensible to Ms Stevens. Perhaps, as a New York urbanite, she should be reviewing indie films or more reality based features. The Slate Spoiler is a big waste of my time and so I will say adios and find something better. I am very disappointed since the other Slate casts I have audited are really good.

I don’t like reading about a movie before I see it, preferring to engage with it afterwards, so this is essentially my dream podcast. Love host Dana Harris. All I had to do was listen to their spoiler episode on Blade Runner 2049 to be sold.
