    Episode #636: "Resident Evil" (2026) (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    There's a new RESIDENT EVIL film, and it's made by the guy who made WEAPONS (and BARBARIAN ), which Evan and Dave are both fans of, so yay! But, as sometimes happens on Spoilerpiece Theatre, one of them really dug it, and the other thought it was fine. But the movie has some cool set pieces up its sleeve, and it takes a novel approach in adapting a video game for the big screen. (We agreed on that.) Over on Patreon , we talk about Paul W.S. Anderson's 2002 adaption .

    Episode #635: "It Ends" (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    This week Evan and Dave take a look at IT ENDS , a movie that has been out a couple weeks, in which four friends are stuck on a road that seemingly goes on forever. Why watch IT ENDS, you ask? In addition to the studios releasing f*ck-all this week, we've also been hearing things about IT ENDS: It's creepy! It's eerie! It's a nailbiter! It's a shitty GROUNDHOG DAY! Say no more. We're in. Over on Patreon , we watched the 1984 classic (question mark?) THE KARATE KID .

    Episode #634: "Onslaught" and "Mayday" (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Evan's and Dave's schedules diverged this week, so Dave tackled ONSLAUGHT (3:37), director Adam Wingard's latest. Dave was and is a big fan of Wingard's 2011 slasher YOU'RE NEXT , about a trio of home invaders running into someone in the home who was raised in a survivalist camp. But ONSLAUGHT ain't that; it's an action-thriller-horror hybrid about a fascist doctor making super soldiers, who - natch - get loose. This movie has killin' aplenty. But is it good killin'? Meanwhile, Evan took in MAYD

    Episode #633: "Buddy" (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Well, gang. It was just about time for someone to make a movie about a kids' show featuring an angry, murderous talking unicorn. What's that, you say? Sounds crazy? It is! BUDDY 's (1:55) co-writer and director is Casper Kelly, mostly known for his work on Adult Swim. (Check out "Too Many Cooks" if you need an introduction.) Anyway, Buddy wants to teach his four human child friends to dance, but one refuses. And when that kid disappears and leaves behind a bloody book, some of the other kids dec

    Episode #632: "Insidious: Out of the Further" (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    This week Evan and Dave take in INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER (2:29), the sixth ( sixth! ) entry in the venerable-adjacent INSIDIOUS franchise. (Not to be confused with INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURNACE .) This is Dave's sixth trip through the red door, and Evan's third, having seen INSIDIOUS: THE LAST KEY and the first movie in the series, the unsurprisingly but aptly titled INSIDIOUS . How did it work for them? Listen and find out, but know Dave says this at one point: "It's better than INSIDIOUS:
