It\u2019s a heapin\u2019 helpin\u2019 of Spoilerpiece this week, as the guys tackle six movies (!!), and welcome special guest Max Covill! Max writes for Film School Rejects and co-hosts his own podcast, It\u2019s the Pictures. Max gets things a-goin\u2019 with A GHOST STORY (4:15), a movie that stars Casey Affleck as one of the kids from It\u2019s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and Rooney Mara as the woman who loves him. It\u2019s the kind of movie Kris wishes he\u2019d seen, but hasn\u2019t yet. There\u2019s a brief tangent into what makes a horror movie a horror movie (A GHOST STORY is not, FYI) at 12:30, and then Riedel\u2019s Recaps with THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT (17:00), one of Clint Eastwood\u2019s least Clint Eastwood-like pictures. Max takes over at 27:15 for WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES. Kris tackles THE LOVELESS (41:30), Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s first film as director, and Evan spoilerpieces THE BUBBLE (47:50), a film in which an Israeli man and Palestinian man fall in love and lots of people are unhappy about it. The big \u2018un this week is OKJA. Everyone has seen it. AND THERE ARE SUPER DIVERSE OPINIONS! This week\u2019s episode was brought to you by factory farming, btw.
