Hope your lover season is hot and heavy—because if it’s not, Johnny Spoiler is breaking down toxic love, lonely men, and Paul Schrader sadness after dark.

In this movie reaction episode, we dive into Light Sleeper (1992), Paul Schrader’s most personal entry in his unofficial trilogy of men who hate their jobs (Taxi Driver, American Gigolo). Willem Dafoe prowls a damp, neon-soaked New York as a drug dealer facing addiction, aging, and emotional extinction, while Susan Sarandon plays a quiet, hypnotic queenpin who feels more like a memory than a boss. Dana Delany surprises, Sam Rockwell and David Spade pop in, and Schrader turns midlife crisis into mood.

Before the main event: Common Toxic Love Traits (2026 Edition)—weaponized therapy-speak, soft-launched relationships, digital surveillance romance, manifesting instead of communicating, and why millennials don’t get divorced… they just divide Paramount+ and DVD collections after the free trial ends.

Plus:

• Pluto TV quietly dominating horror month (Friday the 13th, Scream, Children of the Corn overload)

• Fan service hot takes on Mad Max and Back to the Future

• A comedy cooldown with I Love You, Man

• And a closing reminder that the real party moved apps

If you’re into movie reactions, toxic romance, ’90s crime films, Paul Schrader deep cuts, or watching Willem Dafoe Dafoe around NYC at night—this episode’s for you.

More toxic love next time. Bye bye.

Snowed in, chili on the stove, and toxic romance on the screen. This week on the Binge-Watchers Podcast, Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into Romeo Is Bleeding (1993), the sleazy neo-noir crime thriller starring Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, and Roy Scheider—a movie where everyone betrays everyone and nobody gets out clean.

Before the blood hits the subway tiles, Johnny rants about hating snow, surviving real-life blizzards, bikini porch dives, and why small victories matter when winter tries to kill you. Then it’s Home Video Headlines, including Dragon Ball Super news, DCU Batman rumors, a possible Darkman sequel, and three essential dead-of-winter thrillers: Wind Chill, The Last Winter, and Dead of Winter.

The main event breaks down Romeo Is Bleeding—a corrupt NYC cop seduced by a ruthless Moscow crime boss—with behind-the-scenes facts, Tom Waits trivia, brutal mob moments, courtroom chaos, and why Lena Olin’s Mona feels like a loaded gun aimed at the audience for the entire runtime. We talk broken ribs, real stunts, moral emptiness, and why this movie insists that redemption is a lie life doesn’t care about.

Johnny wraps it up with favorite bits, a Binge Later rating, unfiltered He-Man discourse, staff picks (Code 3, not The Smashing Machine), and a closing that legally has to reference Closing Time.

If you love neo-noir thrillers, Gary Oldman performances, toxic romance movies, mob betrayals, and dark 90s crime films that feel like they hate you personally—this episode is for you.

Saddle up, time travelers. Johnny Spoiler rides the DeLorean straight into the Old West for a deep-dive review of Back to the Future Part III (1990), the underrated Western finale that closes out one of the greatest trilogies in movie history.

While the world is distracted by football playoffs and Super Bowl conspiracies, Johnny stays locked in on clock towers, steam-powered time trains, and the emotional payoff Hollywood doesn’t make anymore. This episode covers why Back to the Future Part III has aged better than expected, how it shifts the franchise from tech-heavy chaos to character-driven closure, and why Doc Brown quietly becomes the heart of the trilogy.

Inside this episode:

• Why Back to the Future Part III feels like a love letter to classic Westerns

• The Clint Eastwood homages, Monument Valley visuals, and deep-cut cinema references

• Hidden details fans still miss, including ravine name changes, atomic embroidery, and timeline payoffs

• Behind-the-scenes facts like the train stunt filmed in reverse

• Johnny Spoiler’s Binge Now / Binge Later / Never verdict on the entire trilogy

• Why Part III may secretly be the best Back to the Future movie

• Fan theories about a possible legacy sequel and why a Biff Tannen story might be the real untapped gold

If you love Back to the Future, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, 80s sci-fi, Western homages, or movie podcasts that go beyond surface-level nostalgia, this episode is for you.

Stick around. The clock is ticking.
It’s closing time in Hill Valley.
