This week on the show we dig into Her. We delve into Her? We tackle Her? As you’ll hear this is a joke we do not tire of. Ever. The movie of the week stars and Joaquin Phoenix as a man who falls in love with an Operating System (yeah, you read that right) and […]
Based on the 2008 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, August: Osage County attempts to translate the dark comedy from the stage to the big screen. Packed with an A-list cast, you certainly can’t make the argument that they didn’t get enough star power. Tracy Letts, the award-winning author of the play was even responsible for the screenplay. […]
At first glance, the idea of a film that revolves around a man falling in love with his smartphone might seem a bit odd. Yet as you watch Spike Jonze’s latest film Her, you realize that it is about so much more. Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) is a writer living in a not-so-distant Los Angeles of […]

From 97.1 FM NewsTalk (KFTK) it’s Carl “The Intern” Middleman and Max Foizey. So enjoy the mayhem as they tell us why […]
This week on Reel Spoilers we’re down to three people. Damn, you holidays. But we forge on and tackle American Hustle. It’s an all-star cast featuring Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence and a whole bunch of people whose names I don’t feel like typing. But they’re really important and all “actory” in […]
Director David O. Russel is certainly on a winning streak after The Fighter (2010) and Silver Linings Playbook (2012). Then again, looking back on his career, he’s never really made a bad film. Three Kings (1999) was met with almost unanimous praise from critics, and I Heart Huckabees (2004) is one of my favorite comedies […]
After a week off Reel Spoilers is back and more spoilery than ever. This week it’s all about The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Here’s a little Tolkien trivia for you. Did you know that Wikipedia describes Smaug as a “fictional dragon”? This can only mean that dragons are real! Holy shit! It must be […]
