This is Spoilers! A pop culture podcast specializing in reviewing movies.

Expect retrospective "Movie Review" episodes (about once a week) where one of our hosts chooses the film we’ll discuss. The “Yes or No” segment will rank the movie; the possible flaccidity of Viggo Mortensen's penis will be determined, and trivia will be played to select the next host/movie.
As a bonus, we do additional Spoilers! episodes where we discuss something new in pop culture like: Rick and Morty, Documentary Now, Game of Thrones, what's new in theaters (like Beauty and the Beast or The Boss Baby), Higher, Uncharted (the video game) and our annual Oscar Pick ‘Em Show where we predict who will win the Academy Awards. We celebrate milestones by playing trivia, or getting pap-out drunk and talking about Mel Gibson’s seminal classic “The Passion of the Christ.”
We want to hear from you!

Caveat Emptor
I’ve only listened to one episode: The Death of Stalin, but I intend to listen to more. I want to congratulate this podcast on having one of the only truly nuanced takes on this movie that I’ve been able to find on the internet. I’ve about had it up to here with people who nitpick this movie due to historical inaccuracy and I’m so happy that all y’all recognized that it really wasn’t the point. I look forward to more excellent discussions.
No pressure or anything ;)
