This week we start off by reviewing Christopher McQuarrie’s Tom Cruise action vehicle MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (2:45). As with all MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movies, this one brings amazing action and death-defying stunts, but is the story worthy of being told in two parts and is there an actual dead reckoning? You’ll just have to listen and find out. Next, we cover the Michel Hazanavicius horror comedy FINAL CUT (28:08), a French remake of the Japanese film ONE CUT OF THE DEAD. None of us at seen the original, but two of us are fans of this version, and one of us very much isn’t. And in this week’s Patreon exclusive audio, we review Gus Van Sant’s 1991 queer drama MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves!

SICK and THE SON on Episode #445
Welcome to a wacky week on Spoilerpiece. You’re gonna hear hotter takes than usual when we discuss SICK (2:42), a new horror-thriller from producer and co-writer Kevin Williamson. Is it like SCREAM? Is it something new? Who’s to say what’s new in Earth’s bizarre new cinematic landscape? The second movie is THE SON (25:26), starring Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern. We can’t say with certainty – because it’s only January – but this film may have afforded a couple Spoilerpiecers their most visceral reactions of the year. But like we said, it’s January. Hearts and minds can change! Don’t forget to check out this week’s Patreon exclusive: We talk about the 1973 film PAPER MOON, starring Ryan and Tatum O’Neal.
