Episode #263: Double Feature - CODA and The Adam Project

We are back everyone! Sorry about the last minute cancellation but the guys had some personal and family things to tend to. Don’t worry though today you get a double feature with their reviews of CODA and The Adam Project! Bonus topics today include Tesla, a new movie giveaway, and allergies suck!

I will do my best not to write too much, it's getting late and I do need to get to bed. The Apple Original CODA is an absolutely incredible film. The acting, the story, everything is just so wonderful and heartfelt. This film should win the Academy Award for Best Picture but we all know that it won’t because well it’s not weird. CODA is a coming of age story for a high school senior looking to go to college for singing but her entire family is deaf except her. This adds many challenges that most of us would never even contemplate let alone understand. Mike and Matt both agree this is a must see film awarding it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Our second review of the pod is the new Netflix Original The Adam Project starring  Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. This is a fun sci-fi summer blockbuster kind of film with some heart thrown in for good measure. Time travel has been invented and Ryan Reynolds must team up with his younger self to save mankind from impending doom oh and rescue his wife who is trapped in the past. This film was just a lot of fun. It is nothing special but just a really good time with great acting, special effects, and a tried and true story with lightsabers, kind of. Mike and Matt agree this is well worth the watch if you have a Netflix subscription. If not, go over to a friend's house and watch it with them. Mike with the surprise higher rating gives The Adam Project 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really enjoyed the movie too but thought it was just average. He awards The Adam Project 3 out of 5 Reels. 

For next week’s podcast, if we can keep our crap together, we continue catching up on new Netflix Originals with Mike’s pick Windfall starring Jason Segel, Lily Collins, and Jesse Plemons. Thanks for listening and reading to the end of our show notes. Chat at you next week!
