This week we take a stroll down memory lane as we talk about how people used to pay for things with checks, and we discuss the film 'Sully.' Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dan is out so Joe serves as our moral compass…resulting in an almost instantaneous hate crime. Tom makes a dark confession, we talk about renting movies at the grocery store (because Blockbuster employees were jerks), and mercifully Joe forgets to mention wrestling. It’s Reel Spoilers 216: 'Sully' Box Office Report. You’ve been warned. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Joe is still out making baby salsa (which is really gross on two levels, neither of which were intended) so we soldier on without him. America’s love affair with 'Morgan' is in full bloom as it debuted in the #17 slot at the box office this week. So clearly you won’t care if we spoil this one for you.

Joe’s out on “early maternity leave” so Kevin is stuck with the old timers. Dan invents a new “welcome” song for new for first time League of Show Sharers (probably something he has on Victrola), we discuss how you never forget your first (James Bond that is) and our movie of the week barely cracks the Top 20.

This week we take on Don’t Breathe, a thriller masquerading as a horror film… but we’re cool with that. We attempt to convince Joe that the film’s title is actually a request, Kevin & Dan convince Joe that there’s an Escape From New York reboot filming in Detroit, and Dan is still mad about the dearth of boomerang throwing in Suicide Squad. All this plus a Video Recovery from Dan. It’s Reel Spoilers 213: ‘Don’t Breathe.’ You've been warned.

As summer draws to a close, Kevin is surprised by the passage of time. Tom & Dan... not so much. Which leads to a discussion about phone chords and encyclopedias. We also talk about how hipsters are evolving, 13 CDs for a penny and we explain to Joe why Goodwill won’t take his tube television. Plus Suicide Squad is no longer #1 at the box office. Thus closing the saddest chapter in our nation’s history. It’s Reel Spoilers 212: 'Don't Breathe' Box Office Report. You've been warned.

After a Summer of Shit™ we get what might be the best film of the year thus far… 'Hell or High Water.' It’s also a wonderful opportunity to teach Joe about where Galveston is located, Brian writes his own fan-fiction extemporaneously, and we discuss how this is the sort of film John Wayne would be making if he were alive.

Dan is out this week, and we immediately sink into the gutter… so there’s an upside. Brian Spath from Cinema St. Louis joins us. We’ll let you draw your own conclusions on his deleterious effect. Listener Tammie regales us with a tale of Southern grudge holding, we get an honest-to-God email, and Tom and Brian discuss old-timey indie comics (when-oh-when will we see more Hep Cats?). And at some point we even discuss the box office numbers. It’s Reel Spoilers 210: 'Hell or High Water' Box Office Report. You’ve been warned.

Tom’s back from vacation, and he’s brought the box office report with him - and perhaps an extra 15 lbs. of body mass. Dan and Tom regale us with tales of how rude people on cruises can be. Plus we discuss how much money 'Suicide 'Squad made, how little money 'Ghostbusters' had made, and how the real winner is 'Lights Out.'

We get off to a rocky start this episode as Tom forgets the name of the show. And it’s all downhill from there. We try to suss out the convoluted history of Star Trek – Reboot? Remake? Continuation? But why should not understanding something stop us from talking about it. Plus, Dan has a Video Recovery. It’s Reel Spoilers 204: 'Star Trek Beyond.' You’ve been warned.

Star Trek Beyond opened this week but how does it stack up against the other entries? It’s not all business. Tom talks about two of his biggest peeves in movies: new cars and how people vomit? Plus, Dan and Tom recount Rob Zombie's trip to Waldenbooks, and we have a new “Show Sharer!” It’s Reel Spoilers 203: 'Star Trek Beyond' Box Office Report. You’ve been warned.

The new Ghostbusters has become a lightning rod but we dive in anyway. Tom & Joe liked it. Kevin… not so much. Although he really enjoyed the Chris Hemsworth stuff. We’ll let you draw your own conclusions. And Joe still can’t keep 'Die Hard 4' straight from 'Die Hard 5.' It’s Reel Spoilers 202: 'Ghostbusters.' You’ve been warned.

Dan’s out sick this week so we’ve lost our moral compass. We discuss why 'Ghostbusters' under-performed at the box office, Tom comes up with a horrific new meaning for “DLC,” and Joe doesn’t want to go outside to chase Pokemon.

It’s episode 200. We were going to do this really cool retrospective with highlights from previous shows (but there weren’t any highlights) and celebrity guests (but we don’t know any) so, umm… here’s 'The Purge: Election Year.' It’s the third in a series that is getting exponentially dumber. There are some real head-scratchers in this movie. People have odd and seemingly random fixations on candy bars, waffles and… well, let’s just say waffles and something that isn’t typically associated with waffles. Plus, Dan has a Video Recovery. It’s Reel Spoilers 200: The Retrospective, Celebrity Guests Extravaganza Celebration... or, 'The Purge: Election Year.' You’ve been warned.
