We discuss Blue Beetle (2023), a DCEU action/adventure/sci-fi film with genuine emotion despite some serious writing flaws. It connects with the audience on topics such as student debt, family, immigration and financial hardship. Of course, nothing makes it more relatable than superpowers granted by parasitic alien tech. That's happened to everyone, amirite? Yes, we know an araña is a spider, not a beetle. Listen to the episode - it makes sense! Plus, listen to Chris try to flex his...

We discuss the sci-fi/drama film, Melancholia (2011). It's about two sisters, their strained relationship, their mental illnesses, and an impending world-ending astronomical event. Mental health is health. This episode deals heavily in topics of anxiety and depression specifically, and mental health in general. There is no shame in seeking medical treatment, whether the issue is a broken bone or a mental crisis. If you need assistance in NYC, contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline....

This week we discuss This Is Spinal Tap (1984), a music mockumentary telling the story of fictitious English band Spinal Tap as they circle the drain on a comically bad tour. The film is legendary for its improv, catapulted the careers of those involved, and invented the mockumentary genre itself. Joining us for the discussion are Rob from Metalhead Journeys, and Ray from Deluxe Edition Podcast and 10 Cent Beer Knight.   Spoil My Movie now has a phone number! Call us at (646) 926-0529‬. It...

To coincide with tax day, we discuss Stranger Than Fiction (2006). It's a story about taxes and IRS audits, love and literature, writer's block and fate.

It's time for another Pec-Off, and this one is probably the most challenging yet! We're matching the aliens of your dentist's nightmares with Predator against Venom. Much like a teeth cleaning that unexpectedly became a root canal, this one didn't go according to plan, except it's way more entertaining. And yes, the sex symbol category is both horrifying and hilarious! Spoil My Movie is sponsored by Revival Candle Company. Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠revivalcandlecompany.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use our promo code...

We discuss the 2024 Oscar results. Was it an adequately entertaining show without any on-camera assaults? Was Emma Stone's wardrobe malfunction tantalizing or horrifying?

We discuss The Holdovers (2023), a film that tells the story of a cranky history teacher, grieving cook, and troubled student forced to spend their holiday break with each other. It was somehow, improbably, nominated for 5 Oscars. It's supposed to be a comedy, but aren't comedies supposed to be funny? It feels like it wants to be a feel-good, uplifting Christmas movie, but it doesn't do that well either. It has all the grace of an elderly hungover man doing hot yoga. Spoil My Movie now has...

Welcome to Game 2 of the 2024 Pec-Off March Madness! Our first contender is Jason Voorhees, winner of the match against Michael Meyers.

We discuss Anatomy of a Fall (2023), a film with courtroom drama, dialogue and ambiguity as its greatest strengths. Why is Chris so angry? What makes the screenplay so good? Why does a child have to wrestle with complex ideas regarding truth and belief? Which of its 5 Oscar nominations does this film deserve to win? Listening to this episode has been clinically shown to answer these questions. Results not guaranteed. Use as directed. Spoil My Movie now has a phone number! Call us at (646)...

We discuss the 1982 horror classic, Poltergeist. And more specifically, we discuss strange decisions like sending away your child alone in a taxi, giving your child the most terrifying clown, and letting your child ride a kitchen ghost luge. And that's in addition to continuity errors, a lack of tech understanding, and logical flubs pertaining to property development. But it's still a horror classic, and Chris earned a punishment shot for not seeing it sooner. Check out our YouTube channel...

Happy Presidents' Day! Four score pods ago we were just recording our first episode, but today we're celebrating by discussing Lincoln (2012).
