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.

Welcome boys and girls to your first pod of the week! That’s right we did it (applause), we recorded two episodes this week! Your first dose of film nerdery is our review of Chasing Molly our second screener ever, thanks Shelley Pack! Bonus topics today include: we have a new Facebook Fan Group you should definitely join, Mike Talent is not sleepy for once, and lastly we have a new voicemail number for you to call and complain about us to our faces!
Chasing Molly is a fascinating B movie comedy that has tons of potential at times and not so much at others. There are some really great funny concepts, grapefruiting comes to mind, that could have been explored further and there were scenes that could easily be cut. The acting was ok throughout most of the film from the stars but a few of the side actors were pretty rough. This is not a must see movie but if you run across it while trying to find something to watch on your Roku or Smart TV it is worth a few laughs to take you away from the pain of reality. The ending though was rough. It came out of nowhere and didn’t make a ton of sense. It is nice seeing Kurt Angle getting some work too. Mike Talent and Matt agree Chasing Molly earns 2 out of 5 Reels.
Thursday, hopefully Thursday, if Matt get his super edit on, The Boys (see what I did there?), discuss Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film according to him, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood. Mike and Matt are both passionate fans of QT but they differ greatly on this film. Warning it is a long podcast, almost a full hour! Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.

Welcome podcast listeners to Reel Film Nerds land! Today Mike Talent and Matt discuss a fun summer popcorn flick that definitely will not win any awards, Stuber. Topics that are not about this movie include 40’s, who actually uses Facetime, and Marvel Studios’ San Diego Comic-Con 2019 announcements.
Stuber really caught both of your hosts off guard. It is a very funny film with a dash of heart with underlying tones about relationships. The action was great but it was shot a bit too tight for some of the scenes according to Matt. The acting was fantastic. The chemistry between Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani was amazing. The writing was really good and most of the jokes land well, there are a few that really don’t land too. The story is not super deep but it was fun, especially for a buddy cop type film. Both of your hosts agree this is well worth a watch but it is not a must see in the theater. If you are itching to get out of the house you will not be disappointed dropping your hard earned cash on this one. Mike Talent really enjoyed himself and he admits it in the pod! He awards Stuber 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really liked this film and agreed with Mike it is a fun popcorn flick. He gives the movie 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
We got our second screener ever! Whoop! Maybe the RFN podcast is getting a following? We sure hope so. The film we will be talking about for Episode #125 is Chasing Molly starring Kurt Angle, Shelley Pack, and Jim Cashman. If you want to watch it before our review it is available to download right now on all the major pay streaming services such as iTunes or the Google Play Store. Mike and Matt are looking forward to watching another film off the beaten path.

Hey kids what time is it? No it’s not Howdy Doody time it’s Reel Film Nerds podcast time!! Check us out we actually recorded a pod this week despite Matt being crazy busy with the 2019 IFL United Bowl. Today we talk about Ari Aster’s follow up to his first breakout horror film Hereditary (RFN Episode #23 if you are curious), Midsommar. Super special crazy impressive off topics include Galaxy’s Edge, cinema drones, we wish we could do this full time, and Drowning Nerd Productions needs a studio.
Midsommar is a super creepy cult movie with multiple images that will haunt your dreams for life! The story starts out with a giant bang and quickly turns into a bore. It is a really long movie but damn is it beautiful. The cinematography and set design were also masterfully done too bad the story did not match. There are some interesting scenes throughout the film but the overall story was just terrible, at least Matt thought it was. Mike thought it was ok but nothing compared to Hereditary. They both agree do not waste your money on seeing Midsommar in theaters. A24, the production/distribution company has a deal with Amazon Prime hosting all of their films, just go ahead and wait until this one pops up there. Mysterious Mike Talent gives the movie 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really just did not like Midsommar at all. There are aspects he enjoyed but the story was so bad he could not overlook it. He is actually harsher than Mike for once, giving it a full Reel lower with a 1.5 out of 5 Reels.
Either next week or later this week we will be reviewing an action comedy based on Uber starring Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani titled Stuber. What do you think should Mike and Matt quit their day jobs and start their own media company like Collider or Kinda Funny? Ya you are right they are not that talented, hell they can’t even get listeners for this podcast. Oh sweet dreams why do you torture our noble souls? TTYL!!!

Hi everybody and welcome to another incredible amazing stupendous episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast! Well it’s here, the last Marvel Cinematic Universe film of 2019, Spider-Man: Far From Home. Not MCU or Spider-Man related topics include Aladdin, 501st, nerd cred, and Darth Predator.
Spider-Man: Far From Home is a great MCU addition in the vein of the Ant-Man films. It is light hearted and fun throughout most of the film with incredible action sequences. A ton of the side characters had expanded roles in this film versus Spider-Man: Homecoming. Some of them were wanted and appreciated such as Mary Jane and others flat out were not. This film does get serious when it needs to be too. The explanation at the beginning of the film about the infamous snap was a nice addition giving us information not only for this film but the MCU as a whole. Thank you whoever decided to add those scenes to the film. Lastly don’t forget to stay for both end credit scenes. They are very important on where the MCU is going next, game changing is putting it lightly. Matt really enjoyed this film but he might be biased, he is a big fan of Mysterio. He did enjoy Far From Home more than Homecoming awarding the film 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike Talent enjoyed the film as well but not as much as Matt did. Talent did lose his nerd card during this episode so it’s to be expected. Mike gives Spider-Man: Far From Home 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week hopefully we will get a podcast recorded. Matt is very busy with the Arizona Rattlers heading to the national championship IFL United Bowl in Glendale, Ariz. this weekend. If they do get one recorded it will be on Ari Aster’s follow up to last years chilling horror film Hereditary, titled Midsommer. Look for our review on that super weird and crazy horror flick hopefully next week, toodle loo.

Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Welcome everyone to a super special episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast! Today we review Yesterday, not the song but the movie inspired by the infamous band that change the world The Beatles! We even brought on a special guest to help digest this film. Hippy, vintage baseball jock, and Beatle maniac Steve Stockmar! Extracurricular topics include Who is LaLa, RFN the unofficial podcast of Portillo’s Big Beef, and MCU tie in battle.
Yesterday is an incredible idea for a fun fantastical film that falls flat on its face into rom-com territory without much com. The film starts off well exploring the idea of what if only one man knew The Beatles existed. It quickly turns into a stale romantic comedy with very little comedy. The acting is great and the new renditions of classic Beatles tunes are really well done. It just did not really push the boundaries of the premise that is presented in the trailers. Is this film worth a watch, yes. Should you run out and watch it in a theater, no. Wait until it comes out in Redbox or on one of the many streaming services. Guest host and Beatles nut Steve of the house Stockmaratheon gives Yesterday 2 out of 5 Reels. Mike Talent enjoyed the film more than Matt and Steve but for some reason he has the exact same rating as Matt?!? They both give Danny Boyle’s latest film 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Since you got a double sized episode this week we are only giving you one. Next week Mike and Matt will review the final MCU movie of the year and last Phase 4 film Spider-Man: Far From Home. If the guys make the time they will get you a second pod next week most likely a Legacy Cast since we have been slacking on those with all the summer films. Have an incredible 4th of July and chat at you next week.

Looky looky two in one week again! Wow, we are like butter because we are on a roll. Today the two nerds Mike and Matt review Child’s Play (2019). Super special added topics include hot tacos, Spawn, Crawl, Matt and Mike are old, and lastly the history of the Child’s Play franchises.
Child’s Play (2019) is a unique idea in our modern world for the infamous Chucky. It is not a reboot but a re-imagining of a classic horror film for today’s time. The movie does not take itself too seriously adding a fair bit of humor from start to finish. The acting is good especially Aubrey Plaza, Mark Hamill, the voice of Chucky, and Gabriel Bateman. The sets are well done even the odd ones, the gore and makeup is great, and the cinematography isn’t half bad either. With all that aside it is not an incredible must see film in the theaters but it is definitely worth a rent from Redbox or on one of the many streaming services. Mike Talent really enjoyed himself and awards Child’s Play (2019) 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also did not hate this horror flick but he did think there were areas worth exploring more. He gives the film an average rating of 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week despite what the critics are already saying they are reviewing Yesterday, a fun unique film based kinda on the infamous band The Beatles. If he has time friend, listener of the show, and Beatles fanatic Steve Stockmar hopefully will give us his thoughts on the film too. We hope you continue to enjoy our podcast because we really enjoy making it for you!

Hollywood finally did it listeners!! We finally have a decent movie for the month of June!! Today your hosts Mike Talent and Matt discuss Luc Besson’s latest spy thriller Anna starring Sasha Luss. Bonus topics today include Stranger Things Season 3, Lone Survivor giveaway still up for grabs, and Red Sparrow.
Anna is a well written fun film with good dialogue and a great story. The sets are great and the action was incredible. There are some odd time jumps that are difficult at first to keep up with and the cinematography was just mediocre. Matt would like to see a few more action scenes in the film as well. Mike and Matt both agree this is a film worth spending you hard earned money on at the theater. We have a situation here that has not happened in a while, Matt and Mike agree on a rating! They both give Anna 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Hopefully we are over the hump of bad and boring summer movies for the year but honestly who knows. The guys are going to try to review the reboot of Child’s Play next hopefully later this week. If not next week they are reviewing a fun unique movie based around the infamous band The Beatles titled Yesterday. If he has time friend, listener of the show, and Beatles fanatic Steve Stockmar hopefully will give us his thoughts on the film. We hope you continue to enjoy our podcast because we really enjoy making it for you!

Episode #118 is finally recorded and uploaded to annihilate your ear holes! Sorry for being a bit late this week but Matt went to a concert down in the ever expanding valley and Mike broke his Internets on our other recording day. Today the gents review Men in Black: International starring Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth. Super bonus topics today include the new HBO docudrama miniseries Chernobyl, the Austin Powers films, June movie gloom, and no one has won our giveaway yet for a free digital download of the movie Lone Survivor so enter now!!
MIB: International is not an incredible film but it is not a horrible one either, it is just OK. The sets were well done as most in the MIB franchise and the acting was passable. The chemistry between the two leads was good but not incredible like we all know it can be, example Thor: Ragnarok. The villains were convincing and intimidating initially. Things change later on in the film in a very predictable way. Mike enjoyed the film more than Matt but not by much. He gives the latest MIB 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt did have a good time but kept finding flaw after flaw blaming it on the script. He generously gives the movie 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
June so far is not a great summer movie month hopefully all that changes this weekend. There are three films the gents want to watch but only promising to review one, Anna. A John Wick style action flick about a government assassin. Sounds a lot like Black Widow or one of our previous reviews Episode #7 Red Sparrow. If there is time the guys will try to review the reboot of Child’s Play. Mike Talent really needs his summer horror movie fix.

We did it! We got two pods out in one week! Today Mike and Matt fill an official email request from our buddy Ray who writes, “Just wondering if we will hear your opinion of the new Godzilla movie?” Well Ray today is your lucky day, here is our review of Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Bonus topics include landsharks, empty theaters, and a cartel shooting near Matt and Mike’s hometown.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a great monster movie with a massive people problem. The story was just bad, real bad. The fight scenes between the different monsters were great! The CGI looked good and the lighting was nice bright even at night so you could tell what was going on in the rumble. The human side of the film was just plain awful. The acting was good but the story was cheesy and predictable. There were cutaways and human characters that made no sense why they were even in this film. Mike and Matt only recommend you go see this movie if you really want to see some great monster on monster action, if not then by all means skip it maybe even on Netflix or Redbox. Matt generously gives the feature 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Mike was a bit harsher with his review but not by much. He gives Godzilla: King of the Monsters 2 out of 5 Reels.
The summer movie season is kicking into high gear and the guys hope to do the same. Next week they are going to review Men in Black International starring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. If there is money and time they hope to review the new Bill Murray and Adam Driver horror comedy The Dead Don’t Die as well. It has a killer cast and really looks like a fun film. Lastly don’t forget to enter our contest to win a free digital download copy of Lone Survivor. Listen to RFN Episode #116 to find out how. Chat at you next week!

Welcome lucky faithful listeners! Today we have an incredible episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast about a terrible movie, Dark Phoenix but you should still listen to this amazing podcast anyways. Bonus topics today include bad year for nerds, you can win something, and Mike Talent falls asleep at the mic!
Dark Phoenix is a bad movie. It is not the worst X-Men movie but it is damn close. The acting is great for the most part but the story and the script is just awful. They did get closer to a true adaptation of the Dark Phoenix Saga but that is not enough to save this film. Just like the real critics in this world Matt and Mike Talent cannot recommend anyone waste their money at the theaters on this movie. Wait until it comes out on Netflix or RedBox but even then it might not be worth your time. Matt gives the Dark Phoenix 2 out of 5 Reels. Mike is just a bit high but not enough to make a difference, he gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Hopefully on Thursday or Friday we will have a second pod of the week! Yes it has been a long time since we snuck two pods in one week and it might not happen but we are going to try. Ray from somewhere I am guessing the US emailed in!! Yes our first official email of the podcast!! It only took one year and four months but we got one so we decided to celebrate and fulfill his request ASAP. We will be reviewing Godzilla King of the Monsters for Ray and all of you lovely listeners. I hope this is a lesson to all of you, interact with us and we bump you right up to the front of the line.

It’s Wednesday and that means another incredible episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast is gracing this earth, you’re welcome. Today Mike Talent and Matt discuss the latest music biopic based on the life of Elton John, Rocketman. Matt starts out super off topic about attending the 9th annual local Prescott beer fest Party in the Pines. More bonus topics include what is normal, Bohemian Rhapsody, and do you have to be broken to be rich and famous.
Rocketman is a great film that attempts to be something different than your typical music biopic. It is very depressing at times but extremely colorful as well. The acting is incredible especially from Taron Egerton and Jamie Bell. Their chemistry together is remarkable. The music was great, the sets were big and beautiful, and the costumes are award winning especially with how accurate they are. Rocketman is not a perfect film by any measure it still falls into the same old formula of your typical biopic but the director, writer, and producers really did try to do something different with it. Speaking of different Mike Talent enjoyed the film but thought it was just ok, nothing special. He prefers last year’s Bohemian Rhapsody over Rocketman giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand really enjoyed the feature. I know crazy right he not only sat through an entire musical but he liked it a lot. He thinks it was better than the other film we have named too many times now. Matt gives Rocketman 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we are going to watch the last Fox produced X-Men movie so you don’t have to! Mike and Matt will let you know if this is a worthy film for the end of an era and this phase of a beloved Marvel team that is not the Avengers.

Another week has come and gone and you know what that means a new Reel Film Nerds podcast! On this week’s hump day Mean Mike Talent and Amazing Matt review another superhero movie but there is a catch, this is a horror/thriller superhero movie. Brightburn brought to you by the Gunn brothers puts a dark spin on the Superman origin story to say the least. Extra topics include growlers, nerds are now cool, and of course the rise of superhero films in mainstream media today.
Brightburn is an intense superhero thriller that starts out slowly and quickly ramps up the fear and violence. It is a gritty, dark, and gory film even cringeworthy at times. The acting is excellent especially from Elizabeth Banks and Jackson A. Dunn. Mike and Matt both recommend you go out and see this movie especially if you like horror or superhero films. Matt really loved the take on the classic origin of Superman. It reminded him of the DC comic publications known as the Elseworlds and the Marvel comic book series What If? He gives Brightburn 4 out of 5 Reels. Mean Mike Talent also enjoyed this thriller just not as much as Matt. He can be very harsh especially in his old age. Mike gives Brightburn 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we are going to be talking about the Elton John biopic Rocketman starring that kid from the Kingman’s movies Taron Egerton who actually sings John’s songs in the film unlike some other recent biopic that was nominated for a bunch of awards, sorry rant over.

Wednesday is now the Reel Film Nerds’ NEW PODCAST DAY, well for now it is. Boy do we have a good one for you today too. The latest installment of one of the best modern action movie franchises, John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum. Bonus topics start out with vacations, sister podcasts, pants, and slugs not the creature but the round.
John Wick is a staple in the action movie world. It is quickly becoming one of the most consistent action franchises of our generation. It is over the top with its action and brutality but is also shot beautifully. How much farther can they really push the action after this film? It was just incredible! The world of John Wick and The Continental continues to grow as well which is a nice touch. Matt would have liked to seen more world building which I am sure there will be more in the recently announced John Wick 4. Mike loves the John Wick series. It is one of his favorite film franchises of all time and this latest installment is his favorite. He gives John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also likes the John Wick films a ton especially the incredible action and the introduction of new characters and locales. He gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we are going to be talking about James Gunn’s superhero horror movie Brightburn and maybe another movie if Mike, I mean the hosts have time.
