Welcome faithful listeners, yes it’s hump day but it’s also NEW PODCAST DAY! Today Matt and Mike kick back and chat about lots of things but mostly Guns Akimbo starring Samara Weaving and Daniel Radcliffe. Extra topics include the Fast and Furious franchise, Tenet on indefinite hold, and Universal VS AMC Theaters.
Fair warning, this film is not for everyone. It is a fun fast paced action comedy with lots of video game elements and millennial tidbits that has several parts that are just flat out bad. There are great lines and scenes too that are so good they will catch you by surprise. Weaving is excellent in the film in a character that should have been written better. Radcliffe does a great job leading the film as a nerdy video game programmer turned action celebrity. Ned Dennehy, almost unrecognizable, brings the sadistic tech savvy villain Riktor to life in a very almost disturbing way. Mysterious Mike really enjoyed Guns Akimbo giving it 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought the film was fun and action packed but was just average awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys chat about more random topics they enjoy and you probably don’t but hopefully focus on a new Netflix film The Old Guard starring Charlize Theron. Thanks for listening to our pod, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Chat at you next week!

Hi everybody! Welcome to the Reel Film Nerds Podcast Episode 179, wow really? That’s a lot of talking right there! Today your host’s not talented Matt and Mysterious Mike Talent review and discuss the brand new Hulu Original Film Palm Springs. Not time loop related topics include AIMS testing, Top Gun: Maverick, and the infamous Groundhog Day.
Palm Springs is a really fun and poignant comedy that might hit a little too close to home during our current pandemic. This movie takes the infinite time loop genre and adds a second person to the mix. Instead of one person experiencing the day alone like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day we get Nyles, played by Andy Samberg, and Sarah, played by Cristin Milioti, going through the single day loop together. This premise leads to extreme antics, hatred, and even romance. Palm Springs is a really fun movie that is not a waste of an hour and a half. Everyone needs a good laugh and this film is full of them. Mike Talent, always the cynic, gives the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt liked it just a smidge more doling out 3.5 out of 5 Reels for the desert rom-com.
Next week is Mike’s pick and he has chosen a movie you probably did not even know existed. Guns Akimbo starring Samara Weaving and Daniel Radcliffe. The New Zealand action comedy thriller is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Thanks for listening to our pod, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Chat at you next week!

Welcome to another incredible Reel Film Nerds podcast about a movie that is not in a theater, again. Today the boys review an Amazon Original film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 7500. Bonus topics for this episode include Kirby T’s, Uber Eats, and piloting an airplane.
Wow what a movie out of left field! Seriously no one saw this coming including Mike and he picked it! 7500 is a really great film taking place almost entirely in a jumbo jet’s hijacked cockpit. It is very reminiscent of a one man play except with a few more actors. Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes this film. He carries it almost completely on his own. The story is not perfect but it has twists and turns always keeping you guessing. Mike and Matt both really enjoyed 7500 but like most of the time Matt is more giving on his rating. He awards the airplane hijacking thriller 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike is close with a competitive 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Are you looking for another comedy to watch to help lift your spirits that is inspired by Groundhog Day? Yes? So are we! That's why next week we watch the Hulu Original Film Palm Springs starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti. Thanks for listening to our latest podcast, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Chat at you next week!

Yep we slacked off a bit this week but only by a day. Mike Talent was busy with family and his new born and well Matt is just Matt. We do have a new pod for you and surprise surprise it's another Netflix comedy, Will Ferrell and Rachael McAdams latest Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. Off topics today include RFN t-shirts, favorite breweries, and the infamous ASU vs U of A rivalry.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is a fun comedic romp on a topic not many Americans know about. Ferrell and McAdams are fantastic in the film portraying the obtuse musical duo. The backdrops are breathtaking, especially the shots of Iceland. The story is goofy and fun especially the addition of a Russian villain played by Dan Stevens. Eurovision is definitely worth taking time out of your day to watch. It is not Will Ferrell’s best work but it is not his worst either. Mike Talent really enjoyed the movie giving it an above average score of 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also enjoyed the song contest parody but not as much but he is glad to see Ferrell climb out of his rut. He gives the movie 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys keep rolling with streaming films finally getting away from Netflix with the Amazon Original 7500 starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Thanks for listening to our latest podcast, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Chat at you next week!

Let the new streaming film reviews continue! Today your movie gurus discuss a new Netflix rom com murder mystery, wow talk about an interesting genre! The Lovebirds starring Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani. Extracurricular topics include inflation, movie trailers revealing too much, and the film Independence Day.
The Lovebirds is a fun witty movie with some great comedic parts throughout the film. There are also a handful of scenes where it falls short or just flat out does not need to be in the movie. Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani have excellent chemistry especially when they are arguing nonsense. Those are some of Matt’s favorite LOL scenes and he doesn’t LOL ever. It was a nice change of pace having the film based in New Orleans instead of New York City or LA like typical films of today. The writers also paid homage to previous great films like Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut and the spy rom com Date Night.
Is this film going to win a ton of awards and set records, nope. It is a fun exciting LOL movie that is well worth a watch if you have Netflix. Mike gives The Lovebirds an OK rating with 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt, always the more lenient reviewer, awards the film an average score of 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys keep the new streaming comedies going with a brand new Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams comedy Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga premiering on Netflix Friday June 26, 2020. Thanks for listening to our latest podcast, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Chat at you next week!

Check it out everyone, we finally got a new film to watch! Thanks to Disney not waiting for movie theaters to open, you can now catch Artemis Fowl (originally slated for theaters) on their streaming platform Disney Plus. Extracurricular topics today include National Treasure, COVID-19 movie delays, and Dolby Atmos.
Based on the popular books series, Artemis Fowl follows the son of a criminal mastermind, with the same name, on a quest to rescue his father while discovering a second world exists with fairies, trolls, and more. To call Artemis Fowl mediocre would be high praise. This is a rough film that suffers from Matt’s #1 complaint, the story or lack thereof. This world is beautiful, fun, and interesting but the story doesn't live up to it’s characters or environment.
Clearly the story must be great in the books since they are a world phenomenon but the filmmakers dropped the ball on their translation to the big screen. The acting was rough but we aren’t going to slam the lead, it is literally his first film ever. The sets are gorgeous and the digital effects are also well done. Both your hosts agree, this is not a must see film. It is a hard pass unless you read the books then maybe. We are sorry to report Mike and Matt are back to agreeing everyone, yes again, graciously awarding Artemis Fowl 2 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys keep the new streaming films rolling with another movie that was supposed to hit the theaters this year. Currently streaming on Netflix, The Lovebirds starring Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani. Thanks for listening to our latest podcast, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Chat at you next week from the Internets!

Our summer retrospective on the Back to the Future franchise comes to a close today with Back to the Future Part III written and directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg. Topics not related to time travel include what happened to fun movies, drinking, and Mike and Matt are old.
Back to the Future Part III is a great film arguably at least as great as the original. Doc and Marty are back for another adventure in time but instead of going to 2015 or 1955 Marty attempts to rescue Doc from 1885 before Mad Dog Tannen snuffs him out. What really sets this film apart from the previous film, other than being a fun western, is it’s a completely new story. The movie does not have large portions of the film before it to rely on. It is a fun comedic take on a western that also pays homage to the genre. Back to the Future Part III is a must see especially if you are a fan of the first two films. Mike Talent awards the film a surprising perfect score with 5 out of 5 Reels! Matt also really loves this movie but still thinks the original is a better watch. He gives Back to the Future Part III 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys will review a new film that was supposed to be dropping in theaters this summer but well you know the apocalypse got in the way. One of Disney+’s first straight to streaming films Artemis Fowl starring Ferdia Shaw and Colin Farrell. Thanks for checking our little review show. Chat at you next week finally with a new movie!

Our summer retrospective on the Back to the Future franchise continues today with Back to the Future Part II starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. No beating around the DeLorean here, we really go off topic a ton in today’s podcast. Matt and Mike talk about space, movie remakes, and the chaos of rioting in the streets on top of COVID-19.
Back to the Future Part II is a really fun film that takes place in the future, well technically the past now, and tries to explain some of the paradoxes and problems if time travel was possible. Altering history even a little bit can drastically change the world you have come to know and love. It is fun watching flying cars, flying skateboards, and the occasional flying punch. Did we mention Michael J. Fox plays multiple characters in this film, not just old and young Marty McFly? Back to the Future Part II is a really fun creative film but it relies on the original film a tad much. The alternate timeline was not a favorite of Matt’s especially how much time the movie spent in it. The guys are back to not agreeing on ratings, well this week. I know what you are thinking Mike is a harsh movie goer but guess what it’s Matt this week! Mike awards Back to the Future Part II 4.5 out of 5 Reels while Matt on the other hand only gives the time travel classic 4 out of 5 Reels.
Don’t forget if you have not seen any of the Back to the Future franchise films they are all available to stream on Netflix this instant. Next week the guys close out their look back at the time traveling trilogy with the franchises final film Back to the Future Part III. Thanks for checking our little review show. Chat at you next week about time traveling to the 1800’s.

Merry Wednesday everyone! Have you ever wanted to go back in time? Ya Matt wishes he could every waking moment of his existence too. Today we chat about an incredible, fun, and hilarious 1980's classic Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Off topics include Southpark, marketing products in film, and bullying.
What can we say Back to the Future is one of the best films ever created. The acting is amazing, the story is thought provoking and fun, and the car oh man the iconic 1982 DeLorean is one of the greatest props ever created. This movie hits all the right spots and never misses a beat. The chemistry between Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd is magical! So magical that it has inspired the creation of multiple pop culture hits such as Rick and Morty. Alan Silvestri’s soundtrack is pure perfection, especially the main title. Back to the Future is a true cinematic masterpiece. Matt and Mike both love this film with a passion, if you can’t tell, and they award it a perfect score of 5 out of 5 Reels!
If you have not seen Back to the Future we implore you to fire up Netflix this instant and watch it then come back next week when we chat about it’s sequel Back to the Future Part II and the week after with the trilogies conclusion Back to the Future Part III. Yep we committed to it. The guys are doing a three part Back to the Future Summer Retrospective. Thanks for checking our little review show. Chat at you next week about more time travel.

Hello fellow movie buffs and listeners both new and old. Is anyone else really missing movie theaters yet? Mike and Matt are especially some of the new releases we were promised. Fear not for today’s Reel Film Nerds Podcast Matt picked a brand spanking new Netflix Original starring Chris Hemsworth, Extraction. Off topics today include CEO salaries, the Rambo franchise, and a lengthy discussion at the end of the pod about how Netflix makes money.
Extraction is a decent action film with a story that is very familiar. It is not a bad story; it has just been done over and over again in multiple different variations but better. The acting throughout the film was great. Nothing special but it was not bad either. One of the shining stars of the film is it’s location. Isn’t it nice to see Hollywood expand their filming locations outside of LA, New York, London, and Atlanta? Extraction is not a must watch for most people but you won’t be disappointed if you do. The action is very good so if you are an action buff it is well worth your time. Hopefully the guys are finally getting back on track with their opinions. Mysterious Mike gives Extraction 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt who is always a bit kinder than Mike gives the kidnap action romp 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Mike is feeling a bit down and out being locked up at home with a brand new baby all the time. He really wants to laugh and have a good time. For next week he picked a classic that is currently streaming on Netflix, Back to the Future! We might even do a Back to the Future retrospective over the next three podcasts. What do you think? Email us and let us know if you want to hear us talk about one of the best film franchises in history. Thanks for checking our little review show. Chat at you next week.

Congratulations Class of 2020! This week Mike and Matt pay their respects to all the new graduates by reviewing a film that was near and dear to them when they graduated high school. 1999’s raunchy dessert driven comedy American Pie starring Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, and Eugene Levy. Unique topics today include concerts coming back, PC culture, and high school shenanigans.
Alright no messing around let’s just get straight to it, Matt and Mike love this movie. It truly has a special spot in their hearts and it definitely affects their ratings. American Pie is a fun coming of age story with decent acting, relatable characters, and a great 90’s soundtrack. It is not politically correct especially by today’s standards and some of the gags are flat out felonies now. Foreign exchange students, bathroom pranks, and alcohol fueled parties, what’s not to like in this movie? Is this an award winning thought provoking film, no. It is a ton of fun especially to those of us who were in high school during the late 90’s. If you enjoy films by National Lampoon or 80’s era high school comedies you will enjoy American Pie. Matt and Mike are back at it again. At least we had one week where they did not agree on a rating. The boys both give American Pie 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week Matt picked the new Thor I mean Chris Hemsworth film currently streaming on Netflix titled Extraction. Why not sit down and watch it with us this week and send in your thoughts on the action packed thriller. Maybe we will even read your comments on the pod. Thanks for checking our little review and booze show. Why not do us one more favor and help spread the love by telling your friends and family to listen too! Chat at you next week.

Happy National hangover from Cinco day!!! Look we didn’t open this review with the end of the world maybe things are starting to turn around. Today Mike and Matt discuss a little known Martin Scorsese film Bringing Out the Dead starring Nicholas Cage. Not related topics include SGN, Cinco de Drinko, and Ghost Rider.
Bringing Out the Dead is not one of Scorsese’s best films but it is definitely not his worst either. It is a very dark and depressing story taking place over three nights as a paramedic descends into madness while being haunted by the ghosts of the people he could not save. The three different nights feel extremely different thanks to Cage’s coworkers he tours New York City with each night. One is optimistic, one is maniacal, and one is just thinking about dinner. The film production and the acting from the star studded cast is incredible. The shots are unique and beautiful each telling a different story. This is a charismatic, harrowing, and dark film that is not for everyone especially right now with the COVID-19 quarantine still going on. For the first time in five weeks Matt and Mike have different ratings! Mike was not a fan of this movie but respects it. He gives Bringing Out the Dead 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt likes this film that is why he suggested it. It is not an incredible film for him but it is enjoyable and a unique story. He gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week it’s Mike’s pick and he chose wisely! In honor of the Class of 2020 Matt and Mike are going to review a film that is near and dear to their hearts when they graduated high school American Pie. Be prepared it will probably be a long and emotional podcast for your two hosts. American Pie is currently streaming on HBO. Why not sit down this week and watch it then email us your thoughts on the film. We will even read them on the pod! Thanks for checking our little review and booze show. Why not do us one more favor and help spread the love by telling your friends and family to listen too! Chat at you next week.

Welcome kiddos! Are you sick of watching TV, movies, and listening to the Reel Film Nerds podcast yet? No? Great, neither are we so here is a fresh one for your ear holes. Today Mike Talent and Matt checked out an independent Sci-Fi film that Netflix purchased recently Code 8. Not Code 8 topics include Zoom Meetings, the joys of breeding, and Parks and Recreation.
Code 8 is a really great fun action packed Sci-Fi movie. It is perfect right now to help keep your mind off being stuck inside. It takes place in an alternate universe where a percentage of the population basically has superpowers. Oh and there are these sick robots that were created to help police the troublemaker supers. The story and the special effects are the absolute best part of this film. It is astonishing what they were able to do on an independent budget. The acting well it's a little rough. It is not awful by any means it just could have been better. Mike and Matt really enjoyed this film and do suggest you sit down and watch it. Regretfully though they keep landing on the same rating!! This week makes 5 reviews in a row where they agreed, so boring! They both give Code 8 a respectable 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week is Matt’s pick and boy did he grab a great watch. It is a film by a little director you might have heard of Martin Scorsese. The film though is one you might not have heard of. It is from 1999 titled Bringing Out the Dead. If you have Amazon Prime it is currently streaming on Prime Video for free. Why not sit down this week and watch it then email us your thoughts on the film. We will even read them on the pod! Thanks for checking our little review and booze show. Why not do us one more favor and help spread the love by telling your friends and family to listen too! Chat at you next week.

Is it just us or are the days starting to really blend together? Well at least today is going to be different, we have a brand spanking new episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast for you! In this pod Mike and Matt talk revenge, spies, and the Green Lantern? when they review The Rhythm Section starring Blake Lively and Jude Law. Way off topics include Shudder, buying a new TV, and washing dishes.
The Rhythm Section is a great film with lots of twists and turns and excellent acting. Blake Lively especially excels at the many different ways her character is portrayed from girl next door to junkie to badass assassin. Jude Law also does an excellent job being the strong willed and almost hated former spy training Lively’s character and taking advantage of her naivety. One incredible scene of the film really sticks out to your two hosts, a car chase. It is your typical car chase but the way it was shot puts you in the passenger seat for the whole chase. There are no overhead shots or scene setting exteriors, just a fun ride with a scared Lively trying to escape. Matt and Mike are on a roll! Again they agree on a rating both awarding The Rhythm Section 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Congratulations to our winner’s and enjoy your copy of The Rhythm Section while practicing social distancing. Special thanks goes out to Paramount Pictures for supplying us with digital codes to share with you our loyal listeners. For everyone who entered our contest thank you for your support.

Welcome everyone to pandemic day number ah who cares it's way too many already. Today we continue visiting films from Mike and Matt’s past with an amazing prohibition era gangster father and son film Road to Perdition starring Tom Hanks, Jude Law, and Paul Newman. Special topics today include genre blending, Tiger King, a movie giveaway, and bidet’s.
Road to Perdition is an incredible film and a must watch if you have not seen it already. It’s currently streaming on Netflix. The cinematography is award winning, the casting is spot on, and the acting is on another level. Tom Hanks and Paul Newman, in his final role, play off of each other very well especially when they switch from friend to foe. Child actor at the time Tyler Hoechlin is incredible as the son of Mike Sullivan, Hanks, who witnesses a bit too much of his father’s work. Hoechlin has expanded his career greatly in the past 18 years and it is well deserved. Mike and Matt cannot give enough praise to this film. It is Sam Mendes’ second film after American Beauty and he has truly become one of the greatest directors working today. Mike and Matt both award 2002’s Road to Perdition 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
We have some exciting news for next week's podcast. We are reviewing The Rhythm Section starring Blake Lively and giving away free copies of the film during next week’s review! Listen to this week’s pod to find out how you can win (hint it’s at the end of the show). Thanks for downloading our pod and don't forget to tell your friends to listen too!

Hi everybody! We hope everyone is staying safe and locked up in their homes watching movies and listening to podcasts. Today Mysterious Mike Talent and Matt Hinshaw review a classic film from their high school days, The Stoned Age. Bonus topics include ex girlfriends, baseball coming back, and coming of age films.
The Stoned Age is a fun comedic story about a pair of high school buddies cursing town in the blue torpedo looking to party and find some chicks. There have been some incredible coming of age movies since this film came out but The Stoned Age was a pioneer with Dazed and Confused for the genre in the mid 90’s. The plot is fun and takes a couple of wild turns especially when the floating eyeball is introduced. The acting is decent. It is rough at times but a lot of these actors were very young and early in their careers so you have to cut them some slack. It is not really a stoner comedy, The Stoned Age is more about getting into trouble on a Saturday night by friends, cops, and parents. To put it lightly it is not a politically correct film and probably would not be made today. Is this a must see film, probably not. It is a fun romp and a perfect film to revisit for your hosts during our current home lock downs. It is worth a watch if you are having a few drinks late at night trying to avoid the news. Mike and Matt both agree this movie is probably pulling a lot of nostalgia for their ratings. They both award the film 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week who knows what we are reviewing. It is Mike’s turn to pick a film. We went over several options on the podcast so you will have to wait until next week to find out what he picks. Thanks for downloading our pod and don't forget to tell your friends to listen too! We will chat at you next week.

Check it out a new Reel Film Nerds podcast! I guess it’s better late than never right? With the world coming to an end and a new life for one of our hosts it is tough to be on a schedule every week. Matt and Mike promise to continue to do their best to put out a weekly film review even though movie theaters are shut down. This week Matt and Mike review a classic film from 1985, Clue currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Bonus topics include poverty, slapstick comedies, and streaming fatigue, really Mike fatigue?
Clue is an iconic fun comedy that everyone needs to enjoy. The script is nothing special and it is definitely not for our current PC culture. Where this board game based movie really excels is it’s performances especially Tim Curry. His over the top acting is a true delight to behold. Christopher Lloyd, Madeline Kahn, and Michael McKean also bring a ton to this ensemble comedy but Curry is definitely the star. The whodunit story is tried and true with a few twists and turns thrown in but it is nothing you haven’t seen before. It is not an incredible story but it is a lot of fun especially the multiple endings. Mike and Matt both really enjoyed this nostalgic film from their childhoods both awarding it 4 out of 5 Reels.
The pandemic and movie theater apocalypse continues so your hosts have no choice but to continue visiting classic comedies from their youth to try to help everyone stay in good spirits. Next pod Mike and Matt will review another comedy but his one is from 1994. The Stoned Age takes place over a single night in the 1970’s following two stoners cruising LA looking for chicks. It is currently available to stream for free on Vudu so why not sit down and watch it with us this week? Thanks for downloading our pod and don't forget to tell your friends to listen too! We will chat at you next week.

Good news everyone looks like we are back on our regular schedule again, hopefully it lasts. The world is literally breaking down all around us but hey we did a podcast!
Today Matt and Mike start a series of streaming and classic movie reviews since you know movie theaters are all closed right now. Our first film up to bat is Mark Wahlberg’s latest Netflix Original Spenser Confidential. Topics better than this movie include the future of movies and theaters, we need money especially since Matt probably won’t have a job too much longer, and Doom Eternal helps pass the time when not watching films.
Spenser Confidential is an ok movie. The script is rough, very rough. It is an action movie with some decent action but it is too little too late in the film. The acting is fine, nothing special but nothing horrible either. The picture overall is very predictable. There are twists and turns and whodunits but you can figure any and all of them out way ahead of time. Is this movie worth your time especially now since everyone has so much time being locked up in their homes? Short answer, no. Go watch a movie that is really good that you have or have not seen. This one is a pass. Mysterious Mike gives Spenser Confidential 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt is a bit easier on the movie but not by much he awards it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next pod which might be later this week but most likely next week we turn to a tried and true 1980’s classic that will hopefully lift all of our spirits Clue. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video so why not sit down and watch it this week with us? Thanks for tuning in to our little pod and don't forget to tell your friends to listen too! We will chat at you next week.

Hey check it out a new podcast! Sorry we have been gone for so long but Matt did drop a few hints that the pod might be a bit on a hiatus. Mysterious Mike and Maniacal Mags welcomed their first offspring into the world in late February, congrats you two!
This week the guys made it to the theater before they were shut down to watch a controversial film that was pushed back, The Hunt. Apocalypse based topics today include the Coronavirus, In N Out Burger, and is this the end of movie theaters as we know it?
Is The Hunt worth you spending your hard earned money on when it releases later today on streaming, short answer nope. It is not a bad movie, it is actually a pretty fun movie but there is so much better content out there to watch. Our recommendation is to wait until this one is streaming on a service you already pay for. Is the controversy warranted, maybe but remember it is a satire. This film attacks both major parties in the US equally. The acting is good but nothing special. The action and fight scenes are actually really good. They are probably the best part of this movie. The script and dialogue is rough but funny at times. Mysterious Mike Talent thought the movie was just average awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt agrees, The Hunt is just an average film but is a fun watch when you are not paying too much for it. He gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys will definitely not be allowed to go to the theaters, they are all closed! Mike and Matt instead will stay home and review the Netflix Original Spenser Confidential starring Mark Wahlberg. A fun and dark bonus topic for next week will be the host’s top 5 favorite apocalypse films. Thanks for tuning in to our little pod don't forget to tell your friends to listen to our pod too so we spread across the world too. We will chat at you next week.

Hi everybody and welcome to the writing for an introduction to the latest Reel Film Nerds podcast! Was that confusing? I know I am confused, anyways today your hosts Mike and Matt review a film that you definitely should not waste your time watching. The Netflix Original starring the guys from Workaholics, Game Over, Man! Off topics more entertaining than this film include emoji, stoner movies, and your hosts are old.
Seriously, do not watch this movie. It is not a great way to spend your time at all. It does have its moments with a handful of great bits but there are just too few to help rescue it’s awful and confusing story. The acting is fine, the sets are nothing special, and the story once again in trash. The guys had such a hard time talking about this one that they mostly were off topic for the entire podcast. They are fun off topics and maybe too extreme but we are sure someone might be entertained at least for a little bit. Matt always being the nice guy that he is (Matt you really need to work on that especially in life), gives Game Over, Man! 2 out of 5 Reels. Mysterious Mike Talent with surprising leniency gives this sad excuse for a movie 1.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys hit the theaters for what looks to be a really great horror film take on a classic character starring Elisabeth Moss, The Invisible Man. Thanks for tuning in to our little pod and we will chat at you next week!

Welcome faithful listeners to a super duper extra special double sized Reel Film Nerds podcast! Today your host’s Mike Talent and Matt Hinshaw review a revenge film that is currently streaming on Netflix titled Avengement. The second half of our pod the guys finally get around to the 2nd Annual Poindexter Awards! Of course there are bonus topics today like Cobra Kai, how many weeks old, and beer.
Avengement is a gritty, dark, and action packed film. It is definitely not for everyone. The acting was great, the story was interesting, and the fight scenes were excellent. This is the perfect film to put on if you are browsing through Netflix and want to watch a unique way to tell a revenge story. Mike loved the film because you know he is obsessed with revenge films. He awards Avengement 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt enjoy the British action flick but not nearly as much as Mr. Revenge Film. He gives the movie 3 out of 5 Reels.
The second half of our pod we discuss our 2nd Annual Poindexter Awards! Yes we are a week late but hey give us a break the guys are super busy, more than usual. They still were able to celebrate our 2nd podcast birthday just a week late. Please don’t feel pressured to listen to the whole pod, it is a long one (That’s what she said). Of course, we would prefer it if you did. There are a total of 25 categories and this year instead of the guys fighting it out for who gets what award they each have their own pick for each category winner. Awards include Best Podcast, Worst Movie of the Year, and Favorite Movie Nerd to name a few.
We hope you enjoy our take on an awards show. You must admit it is a heck of a lot shorter than the Academy Awards. Next week the guys return with a Tributary cast review of Game Over Man, a Netflix Original comedy action spoof of Die Hard. Chat with you then!

Welcome to our anniversary week! This Friday Reel Film Nerds podcast turns 2 years old, wow! Don’t fret we are doing our annual Poindexter Awards but not until next week. Today we discuss DC’s latest film Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn or as it’s been renamed this week Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. Bonus topics today include Ewan McGregor, Mudshark, and a whole lot of Oscars talk.
Birds of Prey is an ok film. The story has been done time and time again. It is one of the biggest faults with this movie and you know how much the story means to your two hosts. The color palette, acting especially by Margot Robbie, and cinematography are great. The action really took Matt by surprise. The fight scenes were shot wide allowing the actors to show off their moves. It was very reminiscent of the John Wick series of films. Is this a must see movie in the theaters, nope. Is it worth a watch down the road, sure. It is an entertaining film that does have several redeeming qualities but in the end it was a let down, at least to Mike. Speaking of Mike Talent he awards the film 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt the way too nice guy that he always is, rates this movie a smidge higher. He gives DC’s latest film 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys plan on getting to the annual RFN Poindexter Awards! If things get really busy (for Mike of course) or there is an early delivery for one of your hosts they might be pushed back a bit. Check your favorite podcatching app next week to find out. Thanks for hanging out with us while we chat too much about movies. Talk to you next week, maybe.

Welcome everyone to our little pod about movies! In today’s episode your two hosts discuss Guy Ritchie’s latest british gangster film The Gentlemen. Extracurricular topics include MCU burnout, when you need to be in your seat, and the 2nd Annual Poindexter Awards.
The Gentlemen was a real shock to Mike and Matt. Neither of them were super anxious to see this film. It did not look like a bad movie from the trailers but Ritchie has had a few missteps recently. This picture was a really nice return to form for the writer and director of such great films as Snatch and Sherlock Holmes. The cast is amazing, the sets are great, and the story is full of fun twists and turns like a lot of Guy Ritchie’s older fantastic films. The acting was incredible especially from Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell. Is this a must watch film in the theaters, no it is not but it is worth a watch. Matt and Mike both agree, wait until this one is streaming or at RedBox to catch it. Mike really enjoyed The Gentlemen awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt also liked the film a ton but as we all know he is way too lenient with his ratings. He gives Guy Ritchie’s latest film 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we promise we will finally review Birds of Prey. Matt is still new to this Internet thing. Hopefully he figures out how to work it soon so there are no more screw ups. Thanks for hanging out with us while we chat your ears off about movies. Talk to you next week.

Happy Wednesday fellow nerds! Matt and Mike are back with another great podcast for you. Today the guys review a film that slid under the radar this past November but is currently in the theaters and on Blu-ray thanks to its many Academy Award nominations, the South Korean film Parasite. Bonus topics today include Aerosmith, subtitles, and Morse code.
Parasite is a very good film that caught both of your hosts by surprise. It is 100% subtitled so if you are not ok with reading for an entire film you might want to skip this one. You will really be missing out on a great movie though. The acting, sets, and the cinematography are fantastic in Parasite but where this film really shines is its story. It is very hard to discuss this film without spoiling it so we won’t here. It is a genre bending film that raises lots of questions about societal class status. You will be thinking and discussing Parasite long after you leave the movie theater. Mike really enjoyed this film giving it 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand was absolutely blown away by Parasite, he gives it a perfect rating with 5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys head to their favorite theaters to watch DC’s latest superhero film featuring a stellar cast, Birds of Prey. The real question is if this film will continue DC’s recent success with films like Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Shazam! or is it going to be a box office disaster like Justice League? Sorry but you will have to wait to download next week’s pod to find out. Chat with you then.

Welcome kiddos to another movie review podcast!! Ours is special though because we said so. First off we screwed up a little bit. This week’s review Bad Boys for Life was not directed by Michael Bay but by Belgian directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. We apologize for getting your hopes up with #BayBang. We are still keeping the hashtag though. Here is your warning the guys are in really rare form on today’s pod. They tried to stay on topic but failed miserably. It’s still a fun podcast to listen to, we swear. Some of our copious off topics include The Villages in Florida, the FAA and drone regulations, and lastly Best Picture nominees.
Bad Boys for Life is a breath of fresh air for a typically stale month of movie releases. Is it going to win any awards next year, heck no but it is a ton of fun! Will Smith and Martin Lawrence retain their incredible chemistry together even after 17 years apart. The action was good but a bit over the top and even silly at times. It is not quite at the level of Michael Bay’s action but the directors were definitely channeling him. The story is where this film really shines. The previous Bad Boys films had decent stories in the past but they were second to the action. In this film, the story is very well developed with tons of great banter and comedy. Mike Talent really had a great time watching this movie, he gives it a shocking 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt also enjoyed Bad Boys For Life but did not like a couple of plot twists. He gives the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys hit the theater to review a film that flew under the radar when it was released in November of last year, Parasite. It is nominated for Best Picture and Mike and Matt can finally watch it! Thanks for hanging out with us and dealing with this truly off the wall pod of pods. See ya next week.
