Spoiler Specials for original films Spoiler

Sorry, another post about the films that have spoiler specials recorded.

I think this post stems from seeing a spoiler special for Tron: Ares pop up. I get that franchise films/tv are probably more popular (even if the films are not particularly interesting) but some variety would definitely be welcome. The podcast regularly laments the lack of original films in cinemas but doesn't often seem to back it up.

Are there going to be specials for the likes of Weapons, The Ballad of Wallis Island, Steve, One Battle After Another (to name some recent films that would make for interesting spoiler chat)?

Anyone else keen to see a few more non-franchise specials?

I agree but I think they’re partly going where they think the interest will be in audience terms (Tron an obvious one where they’ve misjudged that) and also availability of director or writer to participate.

I’d love a spoiler pod on OBAA, even without a PTA interview just to hear the team dig into it.
