We did it! The boys finally watched and reviewed a film in the theaters after a two week hiatus thanks to Matt not knowing how to read. This week Mike and Matt sit down with a supercalifragilistic guest and animal expert to finally review Jumanji: The Next Level. Off topic topics include harsh reality of social media, animals: fact versus fiction, and a bun in the oven, wait what?!?! Buckle up you are in for a fun double sized RFN pod!
Jumanji: The Next Level is a film most of us were expecting if you watched Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It is just more of the same but bigger and badder like most sequels in the world. More characters, more action sequences, and bigger sets all help bolster the film. The story is nothing special even bad at times and the impressions could be improved well most of the impressions. It was great to see the return of all the characters and actors from the previous movie but this sequel in the end feels like a cash grab. Should you go out and watch Jumanji: The Next Level in theaters, according to Mike, Matt, and their guest nope. It is not worth it, just wait for a streaming or rental service to see it. Again it is not a bad movie it is just mediocre at best. If you can’t wait for Star Wars Episode IX then sure you won’t be disappointed but you won’t be impressed either. If you can believe it Matt and Mike both agree again! Jumanji: The Next Level earns a 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Our super special guest is a tiny bit more lenient awarding the film 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week it’s the big one, the final one, Matt’s reason to live, Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker review!! But wait there’s more, our next podcast before our big review of The Wars is a Rise of Skywalker predictions and guesses episode suggested by RFN superfan Steve Stockmar and implemented by Mysterious Mike. Thanks for tuning in we hope you enjoyed our guest and chat with you later this week!

Sorry everyone but Matt messed up bad last week. He claimed we were reviewing Jumanji: The Next Level but regretfully it’s not out yet. He was honestly looking at the wrong week on the release calendar. Don’t hate him more than usual. Instead there was an exciting new Netflix release last week of a film made in Prescott, Wish Man. Not Wish Man related topics today include Die Hard, Blanton’s Bourbon, and the incredible beauty of northern Arizona.
Wish Man is an extremely well acted and written film based on the life of Prescott hero Frank Shankwitz founder of Make a Wish. Frank’s story is very emotional on many levels both good and bad. The sets are beautiful and perfect for the time period. If you live or have experienced much of Prescott, Ariz. you will recognize most if not all of the locations they used. There are a handful of minor missteps in the film. A couple of the flashbacks were not presented well and came off confusing. The child actors did well but could have been better. They are kids and we are sure they did their best so you can’t hold it against them. In the end Mike and Matt both agree Wish Man is a must see film. Go watch it now and tell everyone you know to watch it too. Hopefully this is not becoming a trend for the guys but they agree on a rating for the second week in a row! Matt and Mike both give Wish Man 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys will finally return to the theaters to watch the sequel to the 2017 surprise hit Jumanji: The Next Level, honest that is what we will be reviewing and hopefully with a special guest, Mrs. Talent!! Thanks for hanging out with us and we will chat at you next week.

Welcome to December everyone! You can now safely decorate for Christmas, thank you to everyone who waited. This week the guys stayed home and watched the biggest film release of the long holiday weekend Martin Scorsese’s latest gangster film The Irishman. Extra special topics today include de-aging, Mike and Matt throw shade at each other, and structure?
The Irishman is an incredible film with a great story saturated with history. It is classic Scorsese at his best! Yes it is a long film, very long but worth it. Do yourself a favor and try to watch it in one sitting. It will be difficult, especially with the ease of streaming shows and movies today but it is honestly the best way to watch The Irishman. Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci do we really need to say more? They were just incredible along with the excellent and vast supporting cast. The de-aging effects were well done for the most part. There are a few times when the effect doesn’t look quite right but overall it is remarkable what film makers can do today. The Irishman is a great film and well worth a watch. If you have it in a theater near you definitely see it there but it is in super limited release. This movie for sure will be making waves at the Academy Awards early next year. Matt and Mike in the extremely rare occasion agree on a rating giving Scorsese’s latest masterpiece 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys return to the theaters to watch the sequel to the 2017 surprise hit Jumanji: The Next Level. What did you think of our attempt at a structured podcast? Let us know in the emails, the social medias, or carrier pigeon. Thanks for hanging out with us and we will chat at you next week.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone! Are you ready to get your grub on? Some families have a tradition of seeing movies on Thanksgiving. Mike and Matt are here to help you decide if you should see the new Tom Hanks film inspired by one of the most loved Americans to walk the face of the earth, Fred Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Additional topics today include Apple products, The Mandalorian (yes again), and Tom Hanks’ comedic roles.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a great film it was just not the film we were promised in the trailers. The story is really good but it is not a story about Fred Rogers. It involves Mr. Rogers in a big way but he is not the focus of the film. It is loosely based on Esquire magazine journalist Tom Junod’s article and friendship with Fred. The film is very emotional especially if you grew up watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. It pulls all the right strings especially the main character Lloyd Vodel’s relationship with his family or lack thereof. Mike and Matt both agree this is a great film but it is not worth going to the theaters to watch. Wait until it comes out to rent or to stream. Mike gives A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood an average rating of 3 out of 5 Reels, Matt is just a smidge higher with 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
The theaters are pretty dry for new releases over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend which is very strange. So for next week your hosts will be doing a Tributary review on Martin Scorsese’s straight to Netflix film The Irishman starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. Have a great holiday weekend and don’t trample anyone trying to score killer Black Friday deals on your favorite films, electronics, or other goodies. Thanks for hanging out with us and we will chat at you next week.

Welcome to Wednesday everyone! The week is halfway over and your host’s Mike and Matt are here to help by chatting about an incredible film! Today the guys review James Mangold’s Ford v Ferrari starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon. Bonus topics today include Gallup New Mexico, The Mandalorian, and Adam Carolla’s The 24 Hour War.
Ford V Ferrari is truly an amazing film. This true story is exciting and intricate, the acting is incredible especially Bale and Damon’s chemistry, and the cinematography is down right gorgeous. This film is not only for car lovers it is for everyone. Yes cars are the focus of the film but honestly it’s about relationships, working hard, and family. Matt and Mike both agree this is a must see in the theater. The visuals paired with the incredible sound mixing really deserves to be experienced in the best way possible. Matt really liked Ford v Ferrari, he gives it 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike also really enjoyed the movie but as expected he is a bit harsher than Matt awarding the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week Tom Hanks returns to the big screen to portray one of the most loved and respected men in America Fred Rogers in the film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. If you have not checked it out yet make sure you watch 2018’s documentary on Mr. Rogers titled Won’t You Be My Neighbor? I am sure Matt and Mike will be talking about it a lot in next week’s pod. If you want their hear their review of the documentary check out RFN Episode #29 here. Thanks for hanging out with us and we will chat at you next week, toodles!

Congratulations you made it to a new Reel Film Nerds podcast! Today your host’s Mike and Matt discuss the sequel to a film that is almost 40 years old Doctor Sleep. Bonus topics include The Shining mini review, Talented IPA, and RFN Podcast #144 audience reactions.
Doctor Sleep is a great film. It is not a horror film, it is a thriller with many horror elements. The story is fantastic and unexpected. A grown Danny Torrance has been tortured throughout his life dealing with the trauma that happened at the Overlook Hotel in The Shining. We are introduced to Dan after living in a bottle for a long time, following in the footsteps of his father Jack. Ewan McGregor is incredible as Dan Torrance. Rebecca Ferguson finally gets to spread her wings from the Mission Impossible franchise as Rose The Hat, our villain, but the real shocker was Kyliegh Curran as Abra Stone. This young actress did an incredible job and we cannot wait to see what she brings to the silver screen in the future. Matt and Mike both agree Doctor Sleep is a must watch in the theaters, especially if you are a fan of Stephen King or The Shining. Mike and Matt have returned to form with their ratings, the earth is now back in balance! Mike Talent awards Doctor Sleep 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really enjoyed this film even more so than Mike giving it 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys will talk racing! Ok probably not racing but definitely about a racing movie starring two Hollywood heavyweights Christian Bale and Matt Damon, Ford V Ferrari. If you want a teaser for the film check out Adam Carolla’s great documentary based on the same story titled The 24 Hour War. Thanks for hanging out with us and we will chat at you next week!

Wednesday is here again and we are back to our one pod a week schedule. Mike and Matt hope you enjoyed our Second Annual Harvest Horror Fest and look forward to next year’s. Today your hosts jump head first into a robot Sci-Fi sequel Terminator: Dark Fate. Not robots from the future topics include McDonald’s fries, what is woke, and CGI.
This is probably the most divided Matt and Mike have been on a film in a very long time. Mike loved the latest installment of the Terminator franchise and well Matt did not to put it mildly. They both agree the action was great, the acting was fantastic, and most of the CGI was very good. The film flowed well but the issue at least for Matt was the plot. He claims it is the exact same plot as The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day smashed together and updated for today’s generation. Sound familiar Star Wars fans? Mike Talent enjoyed this film and did not disparage Matt for having a different opinion than him. Matt did the exact opposite but Mike kept to his guns giving the film 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt just can’t get over the reuse of the classic Terminator story yet again. He gives Terminator: Dark Fate 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we will review another Stephen King novel based horror thriller. How many are we up to now in 2019, four? Seriously? Let’s see there was Pet Sematary, It: Chapter Two, In the Tall Grass (streaming on Netflix but it counts!) and lastly the movie we will be reviewing Doctor Sleep. Man King must be just rolling around on a pile of money like Huell and Kuby! Don’t forget to listen to Matt and Leza on Magic 99.1 between 8:45 AM and 9:00 AM every Monday morning. If you are not in Prescott you can still listen online at this link. Thanks for hanging out with us and we will chat at you next week.

Happy Halloween everyone!!! Today is a happy and sad day. First off it’s Halloween, one of the most fun days of the year. Second, it is the final Harvest Horror Fest review of the season. Today Mike Talent and No Talent Matt review John Carpenter’s classic horror film The Thing (1982). Not thing related topics include Tool destroys at Gila River Arena, RC plane flying, and Netflix VS. movie theaters.
The Thing (1982) is an incredible Sci-Fi horror film that Matt should have watched long before 2019 but he is a giant slacker, literally giant. The story is amazing especially the paranoia that slowly ramps us throughout the movie. It rivals the incredible monster and creature design. Speaking of creatures, wow, just wow! They are truly out of this world, especially when you realize this film was made over 35 years ago! Kurt Russell does a particularly excellent job as a helicopter pilot, especially his decision to rock that incredible prospector hat. Our Second Annual Harvest Horror fest has been one for the books especially for Mike Talent. He hands out another almost perfect rating for The Thing (1982) with 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really enjoyed this movie awarding it 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we attempt to return to our regularly scheduled movie reviewing. Who are we kidding we are not regular at all but you will get at least one review maybe two if Mike has time. Our first and maybe only pod is a movie that is advertised as a return to form, Terminator: Dark Fate. We will see and let you know if Linda Hamilton and James Cameron breathe life back into this formerly incredible franchise. Don’t forget to tune in Monday to Magic 99.1 around 8:45AM with Leza Live to get a sneak peak of our Terminator: Dark Fate review with Matt. Thanks for hanging out and listening to us and hopefully you get to eat lots of your kid’s candy tonight!

Welcome everyone to yet another podcast about movies! Today your hosts’ Matt and Mike discuss a film that came in under the radar this weekend, The Current War: Director’s Cut. Starring Michael Shannon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, and Nicholas Hoult. With an incredible cast like that you would think there would be a whole lot of publicity. Other topics today include Elon Musk, Harvey Weinstein, and the importance of electricity in the modern world.
The Current War: Director’s Cut is a historical docudrama about the battle of AC/DC (no, not the band) between Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. It is not a bad movie in fact it’s a pretty decent movie it’s just nothing special. The biggest gripe Mike and Matt both have is the historical aspects of this film and how Tesla was basically a side character when in reality he was a major reason we use AC in our homes and businesses today. The acting is excellent, the sets are beautiful, and the cinematography is very good but the script and story could use some work. Should you run out to the theaters to watch this movie, nope. Is it worth a watch, definitely. Just wait until it comes to one of the many streaming services or Redbox. Mike Talent is a bit harsh on this film but we are glad to see he is getting back to his roots. He gives The Current War: Director’s Cut 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt is a bit more lenient with the historical inaccuracies awarding the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Thursday AKA Halloween, the guys wrap up the 2nd Annual Harvest Horror Fest with John Carpenter’s monster classic The Thing (1982). It is Matt’s first time watching the film all the way through! Lastly tune in Monday to Magic 99.1 with Leza Live to find out what movie the guys are reviewing that week before the podcast drops. Thanks for hanging out and listening to us, we will chat at you on Halloween!

Happy Birthday Matt and happy Thursday to everyone else! Don’t be sad but our Second Annual Harvest Horror Fest is coming to a close but not yet! This week we have an incredible classic horror B-movie, Killer Klowns from Outer Space! Not klown related topics include pizza parties, HBO’s new Watchmen show, and Bozo the Clown.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a fun horror film that knows exactly what it is and capitalizes on it. The acting is cheesy, the premise is cheesy, and the sets are cheesy but that is what makes this movie so much fun! The Klowns are particularly terrifying especially their face/masks. The level of detail and movement that went into them is astounding for 1988. The real genius of the movie though really shines through in the different sets, weapons, and tools the alien Klowns use from cotton candy cocoons to popcorn guns. Killer Klowns from Outer Space really hits all the marks for a great, fun, and unique horror film. Mike Talent, Mr. Horror movie himself, has never seen this film until now and he loved it! He gives it 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really enjoys Killer Klowns from Outer Space that is why he pushed Mike to have it in this year’s HHF. He gives the movie a solid score of 3 out of 5 Reels.
For next week, the guys are still trying to figure out what to watch and review. Maybe a streaming movie or something in the theaters that is off the beaten path or maybe they will do two Harvest Horror Fest films. Tune in Monday to Magic 99.1 with Leza Live to find out what they settle on before the podcast drops on Tuesday. Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for hanging out and listening to us, we will chat at you next week.

Welcome listeners both new and old to another fantastical movie review by your loud mouth buddies Mike Talent and Matt Hinshaw. Today the dismal dynamic duo discuss a sequel 10 years in the making Zombieland: Double Tap. Not zombie related topics include Jones Soda, Mike’s criminal history, and double features.
Zombieland: Double Tap is a fun sequel to a groundbreaking horror comedy that took way too long to come out. It’s amazing they were able to get the main cast members to reprise their roles after such a long period of time. Especially since most of them have moved on to bigger and better films winning all kinds of awards to boot! Zomibeland: Double Tap does nothing new to add to the zombie genre or Zombieland world and that is ok. We get a handful of new characters and places with some of the same old tropes of the previous film. There are some really fun scenes and really annoying characters that make this just a fun film to enjoy with friends and family. Is it going to win any awards and jump start a whole new zombie craze, nope but it was a great time with a great story and great actors what more do you want out of a zombie film? Mysterious Mike Talent loved Zombieland: Double Tap giving it an amazing score with 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really enjoyed the film but thought it did nothing new. There were a lot of fun scenes, great acting, and immersive sets but he felt that the movie could have gone farther. He gives it a 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Thursday Harvest Horror fest starts winding down as we review slapstick horror comedy Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Can you believe self proclaimed horror fanatic Mike Talent has never seen it? Neither can we! If you want to watch it before our review it is streaming right now on Amazon Prime Video. Thanks for hanging out and listening to us, we will chat at you on Thursday.

Happy Thursday everyone, hang in there the week is almost over. in the meantime let the horror continue and not just the podcast but the movies we review too! For our second Harvest Horror Fest review of the season Matt and Mike discuss the 1984 Stephen King classic Children of the Corn. Extra special topics include The Terminator, South Park, and the streaming wars are really heating up.
Children of the Corn is a decent movie today but it is not as scary as your hosts’ thought. The acting is passable and the script is pretty good but it just does not come off as scary unless you are like Matt and never plan on breeding then all those children are terrifying. The atmosphere of an empty town in the middle of nowhere is captured very well. The special effects well let’s just say it was the early 80’s and they did the best they could with what they had. It’s also difficult to watch Linda Hamilton play the victim when in the very same year she battled the first Terminator and won. Mike the horror lover that he is was not super impressed with this classic. He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought Children of the Corn was just average. There were some things that could have been better but overall it’s a passable movie. He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we are doubling down on horror movies, kinda. Zombieland: Double Tap comes out this weekend and both your hosts are very excited to watch the follow up to the 2009 smash hit horror comedy. Thursday our Harvest Horror Fest continues with yet another classic horror film, well maybe a cult classic, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

Let the two pods a week continue! Today Mike and Matt discuss Ang Lee’s newest film starring two Will Smith’s, Gemini Man. Topics more engaging than this film include Fargo the TV series, bingeing, and two Willy’s!
We won’t waste your time reading our show notes like we wasted our time seeing this movie, Gemini Man is not a good film. It is not horrible but it is not worth the price of admission to a theater. The script is just flat out awful. Matt thinks it might be because this project has bounced around Hollywood for 10 years ricocheting off of a slew of writers. Will Smith’s acting is always great especially in both young and old roles. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is an incredible actor but she felt under utilized in this film. Most of the stunts and action sequences were great except one involving a motorcycle, it was complete fantasy to say the least. The CGI young Will Smith looked great until he started talking. There was just something really off whenever he talked. Matt and Mike both agree you should not see this film in the theater. Wait until it is on a streaming service you pay for or maybe rent it at Redbox but that might even be pushing it. They both gracious award Gemini Man 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Make sure to stay to the end of the pod. Matt included his interview with Leza Live and Local on Magic 99.1 that aired yesterday. Do you like the addition of his radio interview to our podcast? Email us and let us know! This Thursday Harvest Horror Fest continues with the 1984 Stephen King classic Children of the Corn. It is streaming right now on Amazon Prime Video if you want to watch it before our next episode. Thanks for listening and we will chat at you Thursday!

Thursday is here and that means it’s the start of our second annual Harvest Horror Fest! This year Matt has given full control over to Mike Talent well he is picking the films we are watching if that’s considered full control. First up is an incredible sci-fi horror classic that is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year, Alien (1979), directed by the infamous Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver. Not Alien (the film) related topics include Triple Force Friday, robot juice, and Hastings (R.I.P).
Alien is an incredible film that has stood the test of time. It is still a very scary movie with amazing practical effects especially the Xenomorph. The cinematography and acting do not disappoint either. Do you think Harry Dean Stanton ever aged? The guy always looked the same on film no matter what his age was. If you have not seen Alien by now you need to buy it or rent it from your favorite online service now! Mysterious Mike Talent loved Alien and thinks it’s just as good today as the day it came out in theaters in 1979. He lovingly gives the movie 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really enjoyed Alien but thinks it has aged a bit more than he expected. He, believe it or not, gives it a lower rating than Mike with 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the podcastage continues with Gemini Man directed by Ang Lee starring Will Smith. On Thursday our second annual Harvest Horror Fest continues with another classic horror film review! Tune in Monday to Magic 99.1 with Leza Live to get Matt’s first impressions of Gemini Man and find out what our next HHF film will be. Thanks for listening and we will chat at you next week!

Happy Tuesday everyone? Yes we are back to two a weeks well at least for the month of October, you know what that means don’t you? HARVEST HORROR FEST IS HERE! HHF officially kicks off on Thursday but until then you will just have to settle for one of the most controversial films in years, Joker. Super special topics include PC America, mental illness, and super movie security.
Joker is an incredible cinematic achievement but it is not for everyone. This film is very dark and depressing. It takes a lot of inspiration from Martin Scorsese especially his 1976 film Taxi Driver. It is not about superheroes or villains. It is about mental illness and what happens when you push someone too far. Joker has no more violence than other films currently in the theaters. The issue your hosts’ think is stirring up the controversy surrounding this film, is that the violence in Joker is more realistic than most action films like Rambo or Hobbs and Shaw. Joaquin Phoenix gives us another incredible performance possibly the best of his career. If he is not nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards Mike and Matt will be extremely disappointed. The cinematography and score are both on another level. Joker is truly the complete package, according to Matt. He awards it a near perfect score of 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Mike also enjoyed the film but not nearly as much. He still gives it a very good rating of 4 out of 5 Reels.
Thursday the guys kick off Harvest Horror Fest with a film near and dear to both their heart’s, Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror epic Alien. Don’t forget to catch Matt every Monday on Magic 99.1 with Leza Live to get a sneak peak of what film we are reviewing on Tuesday. Thanks for listening and we will chat at you next week!

A new month and a new Wednesday means a new podcast for your ear holes. Today Mike and Matt get around to another Legacy Cast this one though is not a request but from Matt’s Legacy list. Today the hosts take a look back at a Michael Bay masterpiece, according to Mike Talent, 1996’s The Rock. Bonus topics include Mike won the lottery, we miss watching Sean Connery on the big screen, and violence in movies, music, video games etc.
The Rock is a classic 90’s action movie that helped put Michael Bay on the map as one of the best action film directors working today. Up until The Rock he mostly directed music videos and another little action film you might have heard of Bad Boys. The Rock is the complete package. It has incredible acting, amazing action sequences, and a compelling story about a prison inmate no one has ever heard of. It definitely shows it’s age compared to the modern action film but still holds up pretty well. Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage, and Ed Harris bring some of their best acting to the table with this film. The chemistry between our two heroes is great to say the least. Ed Harris gives us amazing nuances and dedication to his craft as a villain with honor. His character is ultimately trying to achieve recognition for overlooked soldiers who gave all but has the wits to not add innocent blood shed to do it in the end. Mike Talent loves this movie with a passion, almost as much as he loves Jaws and that’s saying a lot! He gives The Rock one of his very rare perfect ratings of 5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really enjoyed the film as well but felt it has not aged as gracefully as he remembers it. He awards it a respectful 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys hit the theaters to watch a film that is already generating a ton of controversy and buzz, Todd Phillips’ Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix. Matt and Mike are both extremely excited to see this film and give you their honest opinions for our faithful few listeners. If you want a sneak peek don’t forget to tune in to Leza Live on Magic 99.1 on Monday next week to hear Matt give his first impressions of the Joker. Thanks for listening and we will chat at you next week!

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s new podcast day! Today Mike and Matt review the latest Brad Pitt space odyssey Ad Astra written and directed by James Gray. Incredible additional topics today include The Martian, space pirates, and Matt has a guest spot on Leza Live every Monday on a real radio station Magic 99.1, seriously?
Ad Astra is what we call a true hardcore sci-fi film. It is jam packed with action, it can drag at times, but the cinematography and acting is incredible! For the most part it is a pretty great movie with a decent story about an astronaut with daddy issues but not according to Mike Talent. There are several, and we mean several parts of the film where you have to suspend reality. Both your hosts agree though Brad Pitt's acting was nuanced and incredible. Clearly 2019 is Brad Pitt’s year for great acting. Liv Tyler did great and so did Donald Southerland and Tommy Lee Jones for the few seconds they are in the film. Matt and Mike did not agree on this film at all. This might be the first time in the history of the pod that they are so divided. Mike really did not like Ad Astra. He had a difficult time overlooking the many impossible and fantastical parts of the film. He gives it a dismal 1.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand really enjoyed it giving a whole lot of passes to the impossible acts in the movie. If you are into sci-fi and space he suggests you definitely go see this film in the theater especially if you can afford an IMAX ticket. He gives Ad Astra 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next Wednesday Matt and Mike keep rolling with the Legacy casts by reviewing Michael Bay’s 1996 film The Rock. Thanks for tuning in for another pod and don’t forget to listen to Matt make a fool of himself on Monday mornings with Leza Live on Magic 99.1 FM around 8:45 AM. Chat at you next week.

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s new podcast day! Today Mike and Matt finally get around to watching and chatting about a listener film request. Today’s request which was requested months ago comes from super-fan Don in Chino Valley, Ariz. He wanted to hear the nerds take on the 1993 action packed futuristic Sci-Fi film Demolition Man. Special topics today include Borderlands 3, Moviepass is finally dead, and how do you use the 3 seashells.
The most surprising thing about re-watching Demolition Man after all these years is how accurate it predicted the future we are currently living in. For instance it predicted voice assistants, video conferencing, and the rise of Taco Bell as the only restaurant in the land! Demolition Man is not a perfect film but it is a ton of fun, filled with action and a fascinating look into the future. Wesley Snipes is a force to be reckoned with in this film. How many actors do you know can successfully play a villain and a hero with the public applauding them for their roles, not many. Matt and Mike both agree this movie is definitely worth another watch or your first watch. Matt gives Demolition Man 4 out of 5 Reels. He believes it’s mostly for nostalgia reasons but totally worth it. Mike Talent also enjoyed the film but as always is more judgmental than Matt. He gives it a 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next Wednesday we will be reviewing another Sci-Fi film but this one is starring Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones titled Ad Astra. If you want a teaser of our review tune in Monday to Matt’s movie review segment during Leza Live on Magic 99.1 FM at 8:45 AM. Hopefully he wakes up in time for the show. Thanks for spending a half hour of your day with us especially you new listeners and we will chat at you next week.

Hey kids, clowns, mutants, nerds, or whatever else you might be, welcome to another fantastical podcast review by the Reel Film Nerds (applause). Today Matt and Mike talk about yet another horror movie, It Chapter Two. Maybe we should change the name of the pod to the Reel Horror Film Nerds, nah. Topics today include why are there so many horror films hitting the theaters, HBO’s hit show Barry, and the new season of American Horror Story.
It Chapter Two is a decent continuation of the original 2017 film. It does not really come off as a sequel like most of the films this past summer. Here is your fair warning now if you really want to enjoy this film please make sure you watch the original It from 2017 before you head out to the theater. We cannot emphasize this enough. It Chapter Two relies heavily on your understanding of the original. The casting was just incredible for It Chapter Two. The adult versions of the kids we grew to love from 2017 was spot on but no one knocked out of the park as well as Bill Hader. His dramatic and comedic blend of acting really set him apart from the rest of the cast. The fights, scares, blood, guts, and gore are on a whole new level for this franchise but it still just did not have the impact of the 2017 film. Mike Talent could not put into words what it was but Matt thinks its the difference of seeing adults go up against Pennywise instead of kids. They both agree this is a must see movie in the theaters. Mike awards It Chapter Two 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt also found the film to be just a bit above average giving it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys will talk about the independent adventure comedy The Peanut Butter Falcon, finally. If they can squeeze in two reviews next week they are finally going to dive into listener review requests starting with a really fun action film from 1993, Demolition Man. Thanks for spending a half hour of your day with us especially you new listeners and we will chat at you next week.

Welcome friends to another podcast about movies! Yes another one….. Anyways today Mysterious Mike and Incredible Matt finally review the coming-of age raunchy comedy Good Boys. The guys mostly stay on topic until the end of the pod when Mike and Matt really start talking about their childhoods. Other topics you don’t care about include streaming services are they the next cable companies, drones: reality versus myth, and the Wish Man film.
Good Boys is a fun raunchy comedy that is reminiscent of Superbad blended with American Pie. There is a lot of heart throughout the film and quite a few laughs too. The recurring theme that works best, even though it is used over and over is the main characters not understanding adult oriented items and phrases. It is incredibly funny even though the gag is used way too much. The acting was decent especially Keith L. Williams who plays Lucas a kid who is way too honest and nice. Overall Good Boys is a fun film but you can wait until this one comes out at RedBox or one of the many streaming services. Mike Talent enjoyed the film giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt was a bit harsher than Mike but not by much. Let’s hope this is only a phase. He gives Good Boys 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys will talk about the sequel to the 2017 break out horror hit It Chapter Two. If they can get two reviews in and Mike has the film in a theater near him they will talk about the independent adventure comedy The Peanut Butter Falcon, if not you will just get It Chapter Two which probably will be over our time limit to begin with. Thank you faithful listeners for tuning in to another pod, we will chat at you next week.

Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike what day is it Mike? HUMP DAY! Hello fellow nerds and movie buffs and welcome to the continuing saga that is the Reel Film Nerds podcast! Today Mike (see get the joke reference now?) Talent and Matt review the new horror thriller mystery comedy Ready or Not. Our way too many bonus topics mostly brought up by Matt include a Gateway to Geekdom recap, death of 20th Century Fox movie productions, and do movie trailers give away too much of the film?
Ready or Not is a fun horror comedy that knows exactly what it is and is not afraid to show it. Samara Weaving does an incredible job as a bride whose wedding night goes terribly wrong! She also has one of the best blood curdling screams Matt has heard in a long time. Mike thought the trailer showed too many pivotal moments of the film. Overall your two hosts really enjoyed the film and agree if you are a horror movie or comedy buff don’t skip this one. Mr. Talent gives Ready or Not a respectable 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand gives it the rating the film truly deserves a 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week, yes next week, we are currently on our weekly podcast schedule, Matt and Mike will finally review Good Boys. If the guys can get two reviews in they are going to start working their way through the many listener requests, since the summer movie season is coming to a close. The first film picked from the request hat will be 1993’s Demolition Man starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. Thanks everybody for tuning in to another pod and we will chat at you next week.

So we are back on our not regular schedule but we did do some podcasting this week! Regretfully though Mike Talent slacked off and didn’t make it to the theater so we finally get to do our Tributary review of the South Korean film hosted on Netflix called Revenger. Can you guess what it’s about, if you said revenge you are right! Moonlighting topics this week include Josh Brolin, Mike might have revenge issues, and the upcoming Prescott Gateway Mall event Gateway to Geekdom.
Revenger is a great martial arts action film with a forgettable story. It is not an awful story but it is nothing special. The film starts out with a bang, fizzles a bit, and finishes strong. The action, oh man the action! The fight scenes and choreography are just incredible! One thing that Mike Talent wasn’t a fan of was how the actors switched between Korean and English in a handful of scenes. Matt personally thinks it was a mistake that was not caught before the final edit. Mike Talent also was not a big fan of the story in this film and has seen many many revenge films better than this one. He gives Revenger 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought it was just average. He agrees the story was nothing special but the fight scenes were amazing. They took him back to the martial arts films he grew up watching. Matt gives the movie 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week hopefully Mike will go to the movie theater so we can discuss the new Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg produced Good Boys. If we can get two reviews done the second film that Matt will definitely see and hopefully Mike will too is Ready or Not. A dark thriller hide and go seek game for a new bride involving her in-laws. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show see you at Gateway to Geekdom on Saturday!

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled podcast. Who are we lying to, we don’t have a schedule! An attempted schedule sure but a regular schedule, nope. Today your hosts Mike Talent and Matt discuss the highly anticipated horror film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Extra topics today include Matt-ism’s, Mike’s suggestions for great modern horror films, and American versus foreign versions of a movie.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was a huge let down to both your hosts. Matt and Mike read the novels this film is based on as kids and had really high hopes for a fun horror film. The individual stories that were taken directly from the novels were great! The overarching story that tied all the smaller stories together was boring and lackluster. The CGI and special effects were amazing, especially the monsters that clearly were influenced by Guillermo del Toro. If you have a teenager that is interested in the horror genre this is a great first horror film. Seasoned horror film veterans might want to wait until it comes out on Blu-ray. Both Matt and Mike agree Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark graciously gets 2 out of 5 Reels.
For our next pod possibly this week we will finally get to our Tributary review of the Netflix Original Revenger. If it falls through again next week we will discuss the new Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg produced Good Boys. A comedy where 3 best friends embark on an epic adventure where one bad decision leads to another. Hopefully it will be a fun one and not a giant mess. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.

Happy almost Friday everyone! Sorry this pod came out later than we typically post but your hosts had a busy week. The jokes have been made, the off topics were discussed probably too much, and the Reels have been picked for this week’s review of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Our copious off topics include Shark Week, The Boys, helicopter physics, and spin-offs.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is not a bad movie but it is nothing special either. It is exactly what it touts itself as in the trailer. An over the top action film with an incredible villain with some family values sprinkled in. The chemistry between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason “Badass” Statham is fantastic, especially when they start ripping on each other. The sets are well done and the cinematography is great but nothing special. One of the biggest disappointments of the film is the lack of supercars. They had one McLaren 750S driven by Shaw with Hobbs and Hattie squeezed in next to him, ya right. For a franchise known for over the top souped up cars with amazing chases this film does not deliver. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is an entertaining movie but you will not leave the theater in deep discussion about this one. Mike Talent who has seen all of the Fast & Furious franchise gives the movie 3 out of 5 Reels. With a surprise upset especially for Mike Talent, no nickname Matt gives Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
The guys are going to try to review 2 movies next week if they can. So many movies so little time! The new release we will be talking about based on a series of childhood Scholastic books is Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. You heard it here folks Matt is actually excited to see a horror movie! For our second film if we get the time will finally be the Tributary review of the Netflix Original Revenger. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.

Well we did it, two pods in one week! Fair warning up front it’s a long one but a good one. Today Mike Talent and Matt discuss Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film according to him, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood. Extra topics include what is feature length, QT’s top 3 films, LaLa and Heather walk out, and sneaking booze into a movie theater.
The hosts are really divided on this film. They both are massive QT fans. He is an incredible story teller not only in his writing but also his shooting of a film. Mike really loved Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood from start to finish. He particularly enjoyed the amazing sets and driving scenes with all the nostalgic incredible automobiles. Matt on the other hand thought it dragged at the beginning and an hour could easily be cut from this film. They both wanted more of certain scenes and story lines and less of others. Matt also thinks Margo Robbie got robbed. She did an incredible job as Sharon Tate but the character was not in the film enough. Mike gives an above average rating of 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt gracious gives QT’s 9th film 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys talk about the over the topic action film Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Matt has not seen any of the Fast & Furious franchise films since Tokyo Drift so this might be an interesting review. If the hosts have the time they will also get around to doing a Tributary review of the Netflix Original Revenger. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.
