Looking at Movie Cliches with the Man who Wrote the Book

By Josh Lasser on March 17, 2020 • ( 0 )

Out on March 31st is a new book called “Spoiler Alert!: The Badass Book of Movie Plots: Why we all Love Hollywood Cliches,” and so this week on the podcast we have one of the authors, Chris Vander Kaay, here to tell us all about it. The book itself takes 38 different movie genres and offers up the essential elements of each and every one, poking fun at them from a place of admiration (or at least adoration).

Just why did they decide to risk the wrath of online movie fans? How did they come up with the structure they use throughout the book? What are Chris’s favorite genres and movies? Listen as we break it all down.
