We\'ve been busy at Spoilerpiece! After doing a not-so-deep dive into the power of cocaine in 1980s rap-rock fusions, Evan, Kris, and Dave get down to what they saw this week. First is Dave with Ricky Gervais\\u2019 Netflix series \\u201cAfter Life\\u201d (2:32). (Note: Dave makes reference to Mel Gibson\\u2019s THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST at about the 11:30 mark, but mistakenly calls it THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST which is Martin Scorsese\\u2019s hot take on whether Jesus was a hippie.) At 15:47, Evan covers SURVIVING R. KELLY and LEAVING NEVERLAND, two documentaries about accusations of abuse by R. Kelly (the answer\\u2019s in the title) and Michael Jackson. We\\u2019re not really a podcast for trigger warnings, but it\\u2019s heavy, heavy stuff. Lastly, Kris talks about BORDER (36:30), a Swedish movie about a customs agent who can smell fear, and that\\u2019s just the beginning. To end things, the guys have a quick discussion about how to tell non-critics whether to see a particular film (45:40).
