Reel Spoilers

If Sid from Toy Story grew up to be John Ford and then filmed a Smokey & The Bandit reboot at Burning Man it might look like Mad Max: Fury Road. Or maybe it was a fever dream. Hard to say but either way director George Miller has turned in what is arguably the most unique Hollywood blockbuster in a generation.

Summer blockbuster season kicks off in full blockbusteriness as Avengers: Age of Ultron finally hits the big screen.

As we wait for Avengers: Age of Ultron, we must first be subjected to once last Spring chick-flick - The Age of Adeline. Blake Lively stars as the titular Adaline. (Calm down, pervs. “Titular” means “in the title”.) Adeline is a woman who can’t age. The poor creature is 107 but trapped in the body of a 29-year old super-model. There really needs to be a telethon to prevent things like this from happening. Oh, and Harrison Ford is in this thing. Go figure. It’s Reel Spoilers #92: The Age of Adeline. You’ve been warned.

Will these two crazy kids from different sides of the tracks ever be able to make things work? Can a kindly elderly gentleman teach them the true meaning of love?

It’s our first ever celebrity guest this week as Bill Chott joins us in the War Room. You might recognize Bill from Wizards of Waverly Place, The Ringer or from the short-lived but now legendary Dana Carvey Show. He was also in Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups but hey, a dude’s gotta eat.

It’s a busy week at the box office but we didn’t deem the top two films spoiler worthy. So Home and Get Hard get a pass. Instead we tackle the indie horror flick It Follows. Apparently there’s an “it” and it’s, um….prone to following things. It’s a taut, suspenseful thriller that achieves that rarest of [...] Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Max Foizey from 97.1 FM Talk (KFTK) and Max On Movies joins us in the war room this week to take on the cumbersomely titled The Divergent Series: Insurgent. Divergent is back. Should that be met with excitement or trepidation? Wait…which one is Divergent again? Is that one with the mazes? Or the one with [...] Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Four guys sitting around discussing ball gowns. That’s what we’ve been reduced to this week thanks to Cinderella. “Why didn’t we see the new Liam Neeson movie?” you ask.

This week Neill Blomkamp returns with RoboCopy… Ummm… I mean Chappie. A movie that our legal department requires us to inform you resembles RoboCop in no way whatsoever (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). So please ignore all of the cops who are robots, and the Peter Weller sound-alike voice work, and that giant evil robot which [...] Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Technical difficulties delayed episode #84 but they have been overcome. If good taste can’t stop us we’re not going to let computer problems do it.

We’re skipping Hot Tub Time Machine 2 this week, but for good reason. Tom’s getting married. (Don’t feel bad..we’re shocked too.) Since he decided to spend the week of the wedding doing wedding stuff, it made recording an episode somewhat problematic...

Mila Kunis cleans toilets and Channing Tatum is half-dog/half-man in Jupiter Ascending. The Wachowskis are back and that’s starting to sound like a threat. There’s also something about aliens and stuff. Let us talk you through the film so you can be just as confused as we are. Plus quite possibly the quickest box office [...] Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If you like it when we second guess every conceivable plot-hole of a film then you are in for a treat. Project Almanac is an embarrassment of riches.
