Reel Spoilers

We finally make it through an episode without a WWE reference from Joe. Which can only mean one thing... Tom talked about The Monkees. Also, Zootopia is closing in on a billion dollars and Batman v Superman is somehow still in the top ten. Plus, Julia Roberts once killed a hobo and Gary Marshall has it on film. That’s the only reason we can come up with for her starring in yet another holiday themed anthology movie. Well, either that or $3 million dollars for four days work. But we have our fingers crossed for the whole hobo thing. It’s Reel Spoilers 179: 'Keanu' Box Office Report. You’ve been warned.

It’s the prequel/sequel no one demanded – 'The Huntsman: Winter’s War.' Chris Hemsworth is back, Kristen Stewart is not. On paper that seems like good news. But films aren’t on paper, are they? Also, we teach Joe the difference between Noah and Moses, Tom and Dan regale us with tales of scamming video arcades, and we almost are forced to buy a farm to generate enough chicken noises for the episode.

We’re joined this week by Michael Haffner, film critic for Alive Magazine and We Are Movie Geeks. Many important things are learned this week, such as: how movies get their subtitles, why Disney’s Magic Bands are a little bit creepy, and Tom explains how oldies radio works.

Jon Favreau gives us his take on 'The Jungle Book,' and we give you our take on his take. Plus, we try to stop Joe from making a wrestling reference (you can guess how well that goes), we discuss Disney’s straight-to-home-video sequels and Tom sings 'Chaka Khan.'

Which makes more sense for movies – pee bags or catheters? It’s a heated discussion. But not as heated as our discussion of sex symbols of yesteryear. Plus, Tom & Dan pull out the creepiest Old Timey Reference ever as they regale us with tales of anatomically correct dolls. Man, the ‘70s were weird. All this plus 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' keeps dropping like a rock. It’s Reel Spoilers 175: Box Office Report. You've been warned.

We took a week off after Batman v Superman knocked the wind out of us. But we’re back! This week Justin Staggs from Answers.com joins us. And you’ll get yet another “Old Timey Reference” from Tom, musings about why 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' didn’t succeed as a sitcom and forgotten film-based cartoon properties.

It's part two of our 'Batman v Superman' extravaganza. Has it gotten any better? Ummm… no. It’s still the same movie. But there too much “suck” to be contained in one episode. So enjoy as our nerd outrage continues. It’s Reel Spoilers 172 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Part 2. You’ve been warned.

In the beginning there was 'Man of Steel.' And by “in the beginning” we mean our very first episode. This week we return to the scene of the cinematic crime for 'Batman v Superman.' And it’s a doozy.

Oh, 'Gods of Egypt'… why hast thou forsaken us? Questions abound about this film. Why don’t people believe in “gods” who walk among them? What did the effects budget really get spent on? Why is Egypt whiter than a Republican National Convention? All this plus Dan has a Video Recovery and Joe manages to make a WWE reference because of course he does.

Deadpool once again tops the box office with 'Gods of Egypt' making a decidedly ungodly debut.

If you’ve listened to Reel Spoilers for more than, oh, say….20-minutes then you know how much Tom loves The Monkees. Well, this is a special episode for him. A little while back we were asked to take over a Monkees-based podcast called Zilch! We spent our time talking about 'Head,' a movie The Monkees made shortly after the cancellation of their iconic television show. It is a weird, trippy movie that is definitely a product of its time. And, more importantly, it’s ripe for discussion. It’s Reel Spoilers #162: 'Head.' You’ve been warned.

Chris Frank from The Kelly Manno Show is back to discuss Deadpool. It’s a crazy episode as we teach Joe (who just so happens to be a cop) what various police codes mean, Joe takes pot shots Deadpool “creator” Rob Leifeld and we nerd out over Moonknight.

This week Joe marvels at the fact that we made it to episode 160, while the rest of us marvel at the fact that we let Joe make to episode 160. We also learn that the secret to internet fame is shipping people poop, Tom meets the Maltese Falcon and laments the fact that it’s an old-timey reference. And our guest (Chris Frank) has seen Lincoln’s blood. It’s Reel Spoilers 160: 'Deadpool' Box Office Report (2/12 - 2/14). You’ve been warned.
