Paul Harris from KTRS joins us to discuss The Martian. It’s a freewheeling discussion in which, for reasons unknown, we keep thinking Mark Wahlberg is in the movie... Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week the box office report is fast and furious (the regular kind not the driving kind). Joe talks about doughnut licking, we discuss the mechanics of late night talk shows, Pirates of the Caribbean and its rapidly declining quality, and Joe’s hatred of Eli Roth.

This week we tackle Black Mass, starting first and foremost with… why the hell is this thing called Black Mass? We also talk about the career of Johnny Depp, how breast implants helped bring down the Winter Hill Gang and Joe reveals just exactly what used to go on in the backroom of Blockbuster. (Hint: Netflix has never looked better). All this plus a Video Recovery from Dan. It’s Reel Spoilers #120: 'Black Mass.' You’ve been warned.

Kevin and Blake are out this week so Colin Jeffery from KTRS joins us. But fear not! Dan has Kevin’s abacus so we forge ahead. We also talk about the new Star Wars re-release, the Heroes reboot, and Joe makes an inappropriate offer to the homeless.

M. Night Shyamalan gives us a low-budget, horror flick with his biggest twist in over a decade… it’s actually a good movie. Or, at least, it doesn’t outright suck. The Visit is weird. It’s quirky. But it (mostly) works. And we’ll explain why. All this plus Joe is imagines naked grandmas where there are none, we do our best to ruin Dan’s Video Recovery (to no avail) and Tom once again figures out a way to work Abbott & Costello into the conversation. Sigh. It’s Reel Spoilers 118: The Visit. You’ve been warned. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Perfect Man tops the box office. It’s quite possibly a historic moment and we’ll tell you why. We finally figure out what War Room is, Tom & Dan somehow find a way to bring up M*A*S*H again and M. Night Shamaylan is back. But is that good or bad? All that plus could this be our most offensive episode every? Kevin gets a work out in the editing bay this week as one of our tangents spins out of control.

It’s a slow week at the box office. Not We Are Your Friends slow. But still… So we decided to finally get around to a listener request (are you happy now, Harry Stein?) and discuss our favorite directors. It’s a drama packed episode as Kevin limits who we can choose, Blake steals Joe’s choice, Dan goes artsy, Tom goes old(er) and Kevin spends his time dry-humping a Man of Steel poster.
