Episode #111: Tributary - Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
Wednesday May 15, 2019
Wednesday May 15, 2019
Happy, in words of friend of the show Jamie De Jesus, “HUMP DAY!” Today the guys barely got an episode recorded thanks to their busy lives but they did, go them! It’s a nice little Tributary Cast review of the Netflix Original Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile starring Zac Efron. Extracurricular topics include film festivals, Mike being out of town, and Jon Wick.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is not the film the guys were expecting. It is not a bad film but it is not an incredible film either. It is really hard to watch a film about a serial killer even without the filmmakers showing the murders. Zac Efron was cast perfectly and delivers a fantastic performance. Matt thinks the first hour of the film jumps around way too much and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The second half is where this movie really shines but still does not live up to his expectations. Mike on the other hand really enjoyed the movie and thinks you should watch it. They both agree if you are going to watch this film you should watch the companion documentary Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes also streaming on Netflix. They really do add to each other and tell you most of the true story of Ted Bundy and his victims. Matt thought this film was just average at best and awards it 3 out of 5 Reels. Mike enjoyed it a bit more than Matt but not a whole lot more. He awards the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Our weekly podcasting slump continues sorry everyone. The guys are just too busy and have way too different schedules so they are sticking to one pod a week, for now. Next week the summer movie deluge continues with John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. Mike might be utterly exhausted but they are going to talk about it anyways. How can you not? If you are itching to hear someone else talk about equally amazing topics don’t forget to listen to our sister podcasts The Bluemilk Podcast and The Mile High Show. Chat at you next week!

Episode #110: Hellboy (2019)
Wednesday May 08, 2019
Wednesday May 08, 2019
What another episode on Wednesday not Tuesday or Thursday? What the hell is going on with the Reel Film Nerds? Well you need to listen to this episode where we also review the 2019 version of Hellboy. Extracurricular topics include IMAX, Southpark, and cameras to name a few.
Hellboy (2019) is not as bad as the critics make it out to be but on the other hand it is not a masterpiece. The CGI at times is bad, real bad. The acting is ok but mostly comes off as the actors just collecting a check. The costumes work well and look good especially David Harbour as Hellboy. The story can be very busy and jump all over yet also drags at times. Basically it is a hot mess. It was nice finally getting an R rated Hellboy film but they really went over the top with the blood and gore almost to the point where it’s just annoying. Mike Talent liked Hellboy (2019) but thought it was just average giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt was not as huge of a fan. He did not hate the film but did not think it was anything special either. He gives it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we hope to squeeze out a Tributary on the new Netflix film based on Ted Bundy Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile starring Zac Efron. If you listened to the pod Mike and Matt are really having a tough time connecting to record. Their schedules are just so different right now especially with the huge time difference. They will continue recording just not twice a week for now.

Episode #109: Avengers: Endgame
Wednesday May 01, 2019
Wednesday May 01, 2019
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh it’s finally here! Avengers: Endgame!!! If you can’t tell we are crazy excited for this one. We are pretty sure you already watched it and a million reviews of the film on YouTube by now but guess what here is another one but from the podcast that literally ties every single movie they watch to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Today we are doing things a little different. This truly is an end of an era and you know how much we love the MCU. We love it almost as much as Matt loves Princess Leia in her metal bikini. This is a long pod, almost an hour and a half. Yes that is not long for most podcasts but we are not most podcasts. We understand everyone has lots of other things to do in life and that’s why we really try to stick to our half hour time slot. Today the first half hour is an MCU retrospective with all kinds of fun questions by both your hosts. The last hour is our spoiler filled review. We warn you right when we start the review about spoilers and we do not hold back at all! We spoil the whole movie right from the start of our review. You have been warned!
Mike and Matt both love Avengers: Endgame with a passion. As a stand alone movie without the rest of the MCU maybe it’s not great but as the end cap to an incredible generation of films it is incredible! Definitely a must see in theaters at least once if not more. Do yourself a favor and try to see it when there is little to no people there to ruin the experience. Matt and Mike both give Avengers: Endgame a perfect score with 5 out of 5 Reels.
Hopefully we didn’t make your ear holes bleed it’s just seriously such an incredible movie setting a new bar for the term blockbuster movie. Mike and Matt are not sure what they will review next week. Probably a Legacy cast and a Tributary. If you are itching to hear someone else talk for a while don’t forget to listen to our sister podcasts The Bluemilk Podcast and The Mile High Show. Chat at you next Tuesday!

Episode #108: Legacy - Fight Club
Thursday Apr 25, 2019
Thursday Apr 25, 2019
We are in the Endgame now listeners! Wow, bet you can’t tell that we are excited for a certain movie that is coming out tonight! To go along with this epic film we have another epic film from the late 90’s, Fight Club! Special topics today include Mike’s hate then love of Pitt, sweet tea or regular ice tea, and lastly of course AVENGERS:ENDGAME!!!!!!
I am sure you can already guess this if you have listened to a few of our podcasts up to this point. Basically Matt and Mike love this movie. The story is incredible and unexpected. The acting is on another level completely, from the entire cast not just Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The cinematography and lighting is something to pay attention to. If you have not watched Fight Club or have not seen it for a long time do yourself a favor and go watch it in honor of the film’s 20th anniversary this year. I am sure you do not need to read this next sentence but here it is anyways. Matt and Mike both give Fight Club a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 Reels!
Next week it’s here, WOO-HOO! We will definitely have a double sized episode for Avengers: Endgame! There are tons and tons of reviews out already about it so if you can’t wait go check one of those out and yes we will still be reviewing it even though everyone and their mom already has. To get this out there now we will be spoiling it like we do with all our reviews. We will give you plenty of warning ahead of time so if you get spoiled it’s your own damn fault! Mike and Matt are crazy excited to talk about this one so expect two dudes geeking out big time. Chat at you next week with one giant pod instead of two.

Episode #107: Legacy - Cloud Atlas
Tuesday Apr 23, 2019
Tuesday Apr 23, 2019
Well it’s another Tuesday and that means another pod. Matt decided he didn’t want to leave our faithful listeners without a pod for today so he recorded a solocast. He actually didn’t have to work this weekend and decided to watch way too much Netflix including a film he has been trying to see for years, The Wachowskis’ epic Cloud Atlas. Bonus topics include closed captioning, missing Mike Talent, and listener numbers are slowly growing, whoop!
Cloud Atlas is a gorgeous movie that is difficult to pin down. It is confusing as hell but was shot and acted incredibly well. If you took maybe half as many stories and cut the time down on this film by almost an hour it probably would attract more viewers. Personally Matt could watch an entire movie based on a couple of the stories specifically one of the ones in the future. Cloud Atlas is enjoyable and worth a watch but maybe watch it in chunks much like your host did. He awards the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
We hope you enjoyed this quick solo cast by Matt. If you did or didn’t why not let us know, we mean Matt, ya Matt not us. Thanks for hanging in with us and don’t forget Avengers: Endgame comes out on Thursday!!! Chat at you Thursday with maybe Mike Talent about Fight Club, toodles.

Episode #106: The Best of Enemies
Thursday Apr 18, 2019
Thursday Apr 18, 2019
Thursday is again upon us and that means it’s podcast time! Today Mike Talent and Not Talented Matt discuss Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell’s newest film, The Best of Enemies. Special topics include hearing aids, Disney live action remakes, and movie goers still suck again!
The Best of Enemies is a good story but not the best movie. Mike enjoyed it a lot more than Matt. He thought it was a feel good movie with amazing acting and is a nice slow burn. Matt was not a big fan at all. He agrees the acting was incredible for most of the film but that is about all your hosts agreed on. The Best of Enemies was too long in his eyes and left out one side of the story more than the film should have. Mike gives the movie 3.5 out of 5 Reels and thinks if you are looking for a film to watch this weekend this is a good one to see. Matt on the other hand thinks you should wait until it comes out on a streaming service or hits Redbox. He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys might be on a bit of a hiatus or Matt might do a solo cast. The plan is to review one of both the host’s favorite films for a Legacy Cast, Fight Club but it might have to wait. Life gets in the way sometimes especially when your hosts are separated by almost an entire continent. We will see on Tuesday what happens or we won’t. Just know that Fight Club and Avengers: End Game will be reviewed very soon. Have a great weekend and thanks for your continued support of our podcast.

Episode #105: Shazam!
Tuesday Apr 16, 2019
Tuesday Apr 16, 2019
Hi everybody and welcome to your first Reel Film Nerds pod of the week! Today Mike Talent and Matt discuss a superhero movie. We know what you are thinking oh man they did a Legacy Cast on another MCU film but nope! The guys talk about their second DC movie of the year, Shazam! A little bit of a warning on this week’s pods, Matt has horrible allergies thanks to all the lovely Prescott junipers so he sounds very stuffy and sneezes a bit. Sorry, but hey at least he still sat down to record a couple of sodes. Extra special topics today include Disney+, taxes, the excellent Tom Hanks movie Big, and Ghostbusters.
Shazam! is a fun take on the superhero genre. It is literally every kid’s dream and many adults dreams too. The chemistry between Zachary Levi and Jack Dylan Grazer is fantastic especially the scenes when they are trying to figure out Shazam’s powers. This is a unique take on a superhero film that is not super serious like the upcoming Avengers: End Game. It is a nice breath of fresh air especially from DC. They are just knocking it out of the park with their last three films, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam! Is this movie going to win a bunch of awards, probably not but it is heck of a fun time. Mike Talent really enjoyed Shazam! awarding the film 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt also liked the original Captain Marvel film but not as much as Mike. He gives the movie 3.5 out of 5 Reels. They both recommend if you can to go watch this one in the theater. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks again for stopping by and downloading our pod. Thursday Matt and Mike discuss Sam Rockwell and Taraji P. Henson’s latest film The Best of Enemies. Don’t forget to check out our sister podcasts, The BlueMilk Podcast on the YouTube’s and The Mile High Show which can be found just about anywhere pods live.

Episode #104: Tributary - The Highwaymen
Thursday Apr 11, 2019
Thursday Apr 11, 2019
Before we get going on your second pod of the week here is a fair warning. Matt and Mike really and I mean really get going on this pod. They chatted it up big time! If this annoys you then scroll down to our ratings and just skip this pod. Today the guys talk about a biopic based on the Texas Rangers who hunted down Bonnie and Clyde, the Netflix Original The Highwaymen. Just a few of the off topics today include Okilly Dokilly, high school, tattoos, and the many new streaming services.
The Highwaymen is an incredible film. The story is amazing and is one that is rarely ever told. The writing, direction, and of course that acting are fantastic as well. This film is the complete package with a great cast, beautiful sets, and shot extremely well. Basically if you have Netflix and have not watched this movie yet you are really doing yourself a disservice. Mike really enjoyed The Highwaymen and gives it 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt could not get enough of this movie. He is a giant history buff and film nerd to boot so of course he thought The Highwaymen was incredible. He gives it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
Thanks again for stopping by and downloading our pod. Next week we review Shazam! and The Best of Enemies. Don’t forget to check out our sister podcasts, The BlueMilk Podcast on the YouTube’s and The Mile High Show which can be found just about everywhere pods exist. Have a great weekend and make sure to get out and catch a movie!

Episode #103: Pet Sematary (2019)
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
The darkness of Tuesday has descended on the world once more and it brings with it another incredible episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast! Today the gents review yet another horror movie. Mike is just loving all of these horror releases and Matt well let’s just say Avengers: Endgame can’t get here soon enough. Today Mike Talent and not talented Matt discuss the 2019 reboot of Pet Sematary. Off topics include way too much “That’s What She Said,” Goose V Church, and Brightburn.
Pet Sematary is not horrible but it is not an incredible movie either. It drags especially in the first half. There are some really great fun creepy parts but they are too few and far between. The acting was incredible well most of the acting was incredible especially by Jeté Laurence. The sets are beautiful and the cinematography was great. But overall both of your hosts were disappointed. They really had high hopes for this remake and it did not live up to expectations. Mike thought Pet Sematary was just average giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt was not impressed at all. He thought it was a lackluster attempt at a reboot. He enjoyed the acting but felt the film as a whole just dragged. He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Thursday we talk about a new Netflix Original, Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. It is a biopic based on the two Texas Rangers who hunted down and killed infamous bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde in 1934. If you have Netflix give it a watch then tune in for our thoughts Thursday. Chat with you then.

Episode #102: Legacy - The Matrix
Thursday Apr 04, 2019
Thursday Apr 04, 2019
Happy Thursday Reel Film Nerds (You not us)! Today we review a truly nerdy and classic film in celebration of it’s 20th anniversary, The Matrix! The guys really geek out on this one and you get an almost bonus episode of a whole hour. It is not as bad of a rant as last week when Mr. Mile High Show was guest hosting for episode #99 but it is pretty close. Special topics include cell phones, Tesla’s, and how The Matrix paved the way for today’s action and superhero films especially the MCU.
The Matrix is an incredible ground breaking film. It has aged pretty well but there are a few missteps especially with the CGI. CGI was still pretty much in its infancy though so you can’t be too tough on the film. Mike Talent loves this movie almost as much as he loves Jaws and we all know how much he loves that film. Mike gives the Wachowski’s epic a perfect rating with 5 out of 5 Reels!!! Matt really loves The Matrix but noticed the age of the film a bit more than Mike. He was especially put off by the floating foam scene towards the end of the film. Matt still really loves it and awards The Matrix a 4.5 out of 5 Reels!
Next week the guys review another new horror movie! Ok it is a reboot but man does it look good, Stephen King’s Pet Cemetery. They will also be chatting about a brand new Netflix original starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, The Highwaymen based around the Bonnie and Clyde story. Don’t forget to write in and let us know how we are doing and send us your theories on Jordan Peele’s Us or any other film we have reviewed. Heck just send us any old question you have and we will read and answer it in a future pod. Thanks for tuning in for a super nerdy podcast and we will chat at you on Tuesday!

Episode #101: Us
Tuesday Apr 02, 2019
Tuesday Apr 02, 2019
Welcome back to your regularly scheduled podcast! Mike Talent has escaped the clutches of Goldfinger and returned to kick off the next 100 episodes of the Reel Film Nerds! We are a bit behind on our movies, but this movie really deserved to be reviewed by Mike Talent because of his obsession with horror films. Today the guys chat mostly about Jordan Peele’s Us. Bonus topics include Iceland, classic horror films, and The Big Lebowski.
Us is an incredible movie especially if you enjoy horror and thriller films. If you are not a fan of either of those genres you should probably skip this one. It will literally give you nightmares. The directing and writing by Jordan Peele were incredible! The acting especially by Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke was amazing as well. The story is even better! It has elements of past horror and sci-fi stories but told in a new unique way. There are tons of shout outs and homages to past horror and sci-fi films hidden throughout as well. Jordan Peele is lighting the horror world on fire with his first two feature length films and we can’t wait to see what he does next! Matt is super excited for the upcoming Twilight Zone that Peele is hosting and is heavily involved in. Problem is that it means subscribing to another streaming service. Isn’t this why everyone has ditched cable, so we didn’t have to pay for multiple services and just watch the shows we want now? Wow, that didn’t last long. The hosts both agree Us is an incredible film and is a must see in the theaters. They both give it 4 out of 5 Reels.
Coming up on Thursday is a special Legacy Cast, The Matrix, in honor of its 20th anniversary! The Matrix is currently streaming on Amazon Prime right now if you would like to watch or re-watch an amazing mind-bending film before your hosts chat about it. Thanks for stopping by and listening to our pod. What did you think of Us? Do you have any theories you want to share with your hosts? Email us and we will read them on an upcoming podcast. Have a great Tuesday and we will chat at you again this Thursday!

Episode #100: Legacy - Fanboys
Thursday Mar 28, 2019
Thursday Mar 28, 2019
Wow episode 100! How do we keep hitting these milestones? Maybe they aren’t milestones because of how often we record. Today we have some amazing guests to help celebrate 100 episodes of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast, two-thirds of The Bluemilk Podcast Dirk AKA Drinking and Jacob AKA Hyena Boy. Mike Talent is still MIA. Rumor is he was captured by Oddjob after trying to steal Goldfinger’s golden girl. Why The Bluemilk guys you say, are you finally reviewing Star Wars? Sorry to disappoint you but nope. We are reviewing an incredible Star Wars related film though Fanboys. Bonus Bluemilk topics include Area 51, Kevin Smith, and the never ending nerd war between Star Trek and Star Wars fans.
Fanboys is a really incredible film especially if you like Star Wars even a little bit. If you are a super fan like Jacob, Dirk, and Matt you will enjoy it even more! It is a laugh out loud comedy littered with amazing cameos and actors who clearly are passionate about Star Wars as well. The cinematography is mediocre, the acting is good, but the script and the story is where this film really shines. Hyena Boy really enjoyed the film awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels. Drinking and Matt who are both infinitely wiser enjoyed Fanboys much more. They both award it 4 out of 5 Reels. If you have not watched it and you are a nerd do yourself a favor and check it out. It really is a good time.
I hope you enjoyed this past week’s special guests. If you did or if you didn’t let us know, we yearn for your feedback. Mike Talent and Matt are hoping to get more special guests on when they can to chat about movies. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share The Bluemilk Podcast on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We will chat at you on Tuesday with hopefully our review of Us if Mike Talent ever escapes the clutches of Oddjob.

Episode #99: Legacy - Hondros
Tuesday Mar 26, 2019
Tuesday Mar 26, 2019
Welcome boys and girls to a fun and long Reel Film Nerds podcast! Mr. Mike Talent is not here today. He is out of country fulfilling his obligation for MI6. Luckily Matt is good at blackmailing people and was able to find a guest host for today, Mr. Mile High Show himself Matt Santos! The film they attempt to review today is Hondros a documentary on war photographer Chris Hondros. Topics include obviously lots and lots and lots of talk about photojournalism, downing Nyquil, and the Oakland A’s.
Both the Matt’s agree Hondros is an incredible doc on an amazing photographer that you can go watch right now on Netflix. Mr. Mile High Show is not a big fan of movies especially documentaries on photographers but he loved this one. He especially enjoyed the interviews of Chris’s mother about her son growing up with a camera in his hands. RFN Matt really enjoyed the film as well. He especially liked how the documentary was not just about Chris’ life but 3 of his most impactful images and the stories behind them. Matt Santos gives Hondros an amazing rating of 4 out of 5 Reels. RFN Matt goes a little bit above and beyond with 4.5 out of 5 Reels. He really loved this movie not just because it is about photography but it is a really great documentary in it’s own right.
Mike Talent will continue to be out of the country for our next pod this Thursday so Matt again is calling in a favor, a huge favor for our very special 100th Episode!

Episode #98: Tributary - Triple Frontier
Thursday Mar 21, 2019
Thursday Mar 21, 2019
Happy Thursday everyone!! Welcome to a brand spanking new Tributary podcast of the recently released Netflix Original Triple Frontier starring Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, and a Charlie Hunnam. What an amazing cast for a film let alone a Netflix Original! Topics today included 2 movies in 1, sequels, and delicious greed.
Triple Frontier is a decent movie, well the first half. The acting is great and the story was interesting but the second half of the movie falls apart quickly especially the story. Pedro Pascal knocked it out of the park. He is really getting some great roles recently and stepping up his game. The set pieces were beautiful and the cinematography was amazing, that makes two movies in a row with amazing cinematography. Matt thought the first half of the movie was great and the second half was terrible. Mike was not a huge fan of Ben Affleck’s character or his acting but still thought this was a pretty good movie. It was entertaining and well produced. Both of your host’s agree it is worth a watch if you have Netflix. It is not a must see but you will definitely be entertained. They both award Triple Frontier 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week Mike Talent is out of country, literally! He is off taking another vacation or so he told Matt. Maybe he is really one of those James Bond types but keeping it a secret! Matt is working on a couple of fun shows for next week if the stars align. If they don’t I guess you will probably get a solo cast or two. Thanks for listening and tune in for a couple of special guests and a special pod for episode #100, if things work out. Wow, that is a lot of talking! At least 50 hours of movie reviews if not more! I am tired just thinking about editing all of those hours. Have a killer weekend and chat with you Tuesday.

Episode #97: The Kid (2019)
Tuesday Mar 19, 2019
Tuesday Mar 19, 2019
Guess what day it is, Tuesday AKA new podcast day! Our review today is a film that is being overshadowed by Captain Marvel, The Kid based around you guessed it Billy the Kid. Side topics include why don’t we have more western films today, Old Tucson Studios, and of course Clint Eastwood.
The Kid is a mediocre movie at best. The acting is decent, the sets are great, and the cinematography shines at moments. Ethan Hawke and Dane DeHann do adequate jobs as Sheriff Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. They are not their best roles in a film but not horrible either. Chris Pratt as a villain was great except for the lack of appearances. His character is literally in the film for maybe 15 minutes tops. Both Mike and Matt really would have liked to see what Pratt could do give enough screen time as a villain. The biggest problem with this film is the story. It is very unique and a different take on a story that has been told several times over but it is not a great. Both Matt and Mike agree if you have already seen Captain Marvel go catch this film. It is entertaining and fun and there really is not a whole of films in theaters right now. They both give 2019’s The Kid 3 out of 5 Reels.
This Thursday the guys talk about a brand new Netflix Original with an incredible cast, Triple Frontier. Thanks for listening to us chat about life, love, and movies. How do you think our hosts are doing? Over a year in and the pod continues on! Thanks again for spending time with us in your hearing holes and we will chat at you this Thursday, same pod time, same pod website.

Episode #96: Legacy - The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot
Thursday Mar 14, 2019
Thursday Mar 14, 2019
Happy post hump day aka Friday eve? Anyways today is Thursday which means new podcast day! Our review is about a film you probably never heard of but stars someone you have The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot starring Sam Elliott. Outside topics include MTV Unplugged, Letterboxd, and Captain Marvel.
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot is not what you would expect. It really caught your hosts off guard. The title comes off as a really fun B movie but it’s not. This movie is very serious and very sad. It is not a bad movie but it is not incredible either. The acting is great especially by Sam Elliott. The sets and cinematography are breath taking especially the outside shots in Canada and Germany. The amazing title that throws you for a loop definitely hurt the ratings from your hosts. Matt enjoyed the movie but did not think it was great. He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Mike Talent also liked The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot but was stunned by the tone and feel of the movie. He awards it 2 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we will be reviewing a western that came out the same week as Captain Marvel that is being overshadowed by it big time, The Kid based on the infamous Billy the Kid. Our second film is a brand new Netflix Original that dropped yesterday, Triple Frontier. It is an action film that takes place south of the border and has an amazing star studded cast to boot! Chat with you next week everyone.

Episode #95: Captain Marvel
Tuesday Mar 12, 2019
Tuesday Mar 12, 2019
What a glorious day!!! It is our review of the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film of the year, Captain Marvel! We hope you are as excited as your two hosts’. The boys stay on point for most of the double sized pod. Bonus topics include Matt has more movie going issues, Mike really is a hardcore movie nerd, and a bit of comic book history about Captain Marvel including Kelly Sue DeConnick’s infamous run from 2012-2015 that the movie Carol Danvers is mostly based on. There is no MCU tie because duh this movie is in the MCU! A heads up though our spoiler section of the podcast starts at the 17 minute mark for those of you that have not seen the film yet.
No big surprise here but both the gents enjoyed Captain Marvel very much. Mike enjoyed it just a touch more. The acting was great, at times, the soundtrack was great especially if you are a child of the 90’s, and the sets looked pretty dang good too. The story was decent but the telling of Danvers’ origin story through flashbacks worked at times but not great. It is especially confusing at the start of the film. It was great to see the Skrull- Kree war finally brought to the big screen and surely this is only the beginning of a much larger story involving the two species. Mike really enjoyed Captain Marvel especially the soundtrack and the 90’s references. He gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt also enjoyed the movie but not nearly as much as Mike. He is not a huge fan of Brie Larson and her acting. He also was probably too nit picky for his own good. Damn nerds can’t please them all! He gives Captain Marvel 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Thursday we hope to talk about a little Same Elliot film that flew under the radar, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot. Matt is very busy with the NAZ Suns basketball season winding down with a very long home stand. Mike, well he is Mike and the day light savings time change makes recording a bit more challenging being on the east coast. We will do our best to get it done but if not don’t fret we will talk about the film next week. Enjoy our double sized pod of Captain Marvel and thanks again for stopping by and listening to two nerd’s geek out about films. Chat at you maybe Thursday.

Episode #94: Tributary - The Lost City of Z
Thursday Mar 07, 2019
Thursday Mar 07, 2019
Happy Friday eve everyone! Today your hosts Mike Talent and Matt crack open a brew and discuss a new Tributary Cast on The Lost City of Z an Amazon Original film. Special topics include the 2012 film Piranha 3DD, ayahuasca, and sleepy Mike needs to go to bed.
The Lost City of Z is a great idea for a film, but a poor execution. The story really drags on for a full 2 ½ hours. The scriptwriters really crammed way too much into the film. The interesting segments of exploring the Amazon were way too short and the political scenes were way too long. The casting and acting was excellent. There are some big name actors in this film and they all deliver great performances. It’s really odd the film drags and feels rushed at the same time. How is that possible? Mysterious Mike was very disappointed with this film. He wanted to see it originally in the theaters in 2017 but did not make it. He gives the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought it was just average. He felt there was a real missed opportunity to tell an incredible story that fell flat thanks to the script. He also awards The Lost City of Z 3 out of 5 Reels.
Tuesday is going to be awesome! Mysterious Mike and MCU Matt will discuss the first MCU movie of the year, Captain Marvel. Is it great, is it bad, and is the cat really that awesome? The guys will find out and report back to you so you don’t waste your time or money. Thanks again for stopping by and listening to two nerd’s geek out about films. Chat at you on Tuesday!

Episode #93: Legacy - Green Lantern
Tuesday Mar 05, 2019
Tuesday Mar 05, 2019
Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday is NEW PODCAST DAY! Today Matt and Mike fill a Legacy Cast request from an avid listener and friend of the show BJ one of the hosts’ of our sister pods The Blue Milk Podcast, where they talk about anything and everything Star Wars related and then some. BJ enjoys torturing Matt and times and I am sure this suggestion was one of those times, he requested 2011’s Green Lantern. Topics more interesting than this film include the upcoming Prescott based film Wish Man, listener love, and the true potential of the DC Extended Universe.
This movie is just rough. Your hosts do not recommend you spend any time watching it unless you really want to see how far superhero films have come in the past 8 years. There are moments that are not as horrible as others but for the most part this movie is a hard pass. Mike Talent enjoyed it more on his second viewing and graciously gives Green Lantern 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand didn’t. He gives the movie 1 out of 5 Reels.
This Thursday the guys chat about an Amazon Original film The Lost City of Z. Captain Marvel comes out this Friday too, don’t forget! Your hosts will hopefully make it to the theaters this weekend and will give you their review of 2019’s first MCU film. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to shoot us an email riddled with hate or request a film to review or both! Please tell your friends and family about our fun little pod especially if you hate it. We will be back on Thursday to chat at you with another movie review while drinking a beer or two or three.

Episode #92: Tributary - Velvet Buzzsaw
Thursday Feb 28, 2019
Thursday Feb 28, 2019
Happy National Chili Day! Do yourself a favor head down to Phoenix, catch a spring training baseball game, and grab a chili dog. I know Mike and Matt would if they didn’t have jobs. Back to the topic at hand, today the boys swim upstream and catch the Netflix original Velvet Buzzsaw. Bonus annoying topics include snow beer, the art world and who really cares about it, and lastly home viewing experience versus going to a movie theater. That last topic the guys really went off on bad. It is an interesting discussion that warrants a listen but if you want to skip it the discussion takes place later towards the end of the pod.
Velvet Buzzsaw is a fun mystery thriller that takes place in a world not many people pay attention to. The cast is incredible and headlined by Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo. The blood and gore is a bit over the top at times but hey it is a horror movie, so it’s expected. The plot and characters of the film are engaging and fantastic. Velvet Buzzsaw really reminds Mysterious Mike of the massive horror movie hit the Ring from 2002. The hosts both really enjoyed the film, but Matt enjoyed it more. He gives the movie 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike Talent thought it was just average for a horror movie, his favorite genre, he awards it 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys review a truly horrible movie Green Lantern. It is a request from BJ one of the hosts’ over at the Blue Milk Podcast. Let’s see how brutal Mike and Matt are with this review. Our second review for next week is an Amazon Prime original The Lost City of Z. A true-life drama, centering on British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett, who disappeared whilst searching for a mysterious city in the Amazon in the 1920s. Enjoy your weekend and we will chat with you on Tuesday.

Episode #91: Fighting with My Family
Tuesday Feb 26, 2019
Tuesday Feb 26, 2019
Happy National Pistachio Day! Just digging trying to say something different than happy Tuesday again. It’s new podcast movie review day too. Today Matt and Mike review a heartwarming film about wrestling, Fighting with My Family. Off topics include Mike Talent’s 2020 bid for President, the Academy Awards, and Arizona’s Snowpocalypse 2019.
Fighting with My Family is a fun and emotional comedy perfect for a night out with friends. You don’t have to be a fan of wrestling or even sports to enjoy this movie. Vince Vaughn and Nick Frost both known for their comedic roles knocked it out of the park with dramatic roles in this film. The Rock pops in twice adding a bit of levity during very serious moments. Matt would like to see more wrestling in the film including Paige’s rise through the ranks of NXT eventually winning the NXT Women's Championship belt. Mike Talent gives Fighting with My Family 3 out of 5 Reels. He really enjoyed the story especially how different it was. You do not see many movies about wrestling let alone wrestling families. Matt enjoyed the film as well but felt it was just a little bit above average. He gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels. The acting was great, the story was great, he just felt it needed more wrestling.
Coming up on Thursday Matt and Mike review a mystery horror film that lit up Sundance this year, Velvet Buzzsaw by Dan Gilroy writer and director of Nightcrawler. Review the film with us, Velvet Buzzsaw is currently streaming on Netflix. Chat at you on Thursday.

Episode #90: Tributary - Polar
Thursday Feb 21, 2019
Thursday Feb 21, 2019
Welcome faithful listeners, we are on the downslide of hump day and you know what that means, A NEW REEL FILM NERDS PODCAST!!! Today the guys review a new Netflix original streaming film, Polar. It is the second film of the week based on a graphic novel/comic book. Needless to say, Matt is crazy excited! Extra topics this pod include is Hollywood out of ideas, the Coen brothers, and are there too many superhero movies?
Polar is a fun over the top action revenge movie. It drags a bit in the beginning so much so that Mike almost turned it off. It quickly picks up in the middle and quickly ramps up all the way to the end of the film. Polar is very reminiscent of The Raid, John Wick, and Smokin’ Aces all amazing and fun action movies. This is not a drop everything must-see movie but if you have time to spare you will not be disappointed. Mysterious Mike Talent and Just Matt agree, they both give Polar 3 out of 5 Reels.
Thanks for tuning in and joining us on our wild ride through cinema. What do you think about our Tributary movie reviews? Do you want more, less? Write us an email and let us know. Next week the boys will finally get to watch Fighting with My Family. A dramatic comedy biopic based on the true story of WWE super star Saraya “Paige” Bevis and her rise to fame. Have a great weekend and keep warm. We will chat at you on Tuesday.

Episode #89: Alita: Battle Angel
Tuesday Feb 19, 2019
Tuesday Feb 19, 2019
First episode of year two from the Reel Film Nerds podcast and man it’s a highly anticipated movie! Today Mike Talent and Maniac Matt discuss James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez’s latest epic Alita: Battle Angel. Bonus discussion includes 21st Amendment Brewery, Jennifer Connelly is still super-hot at almost 50, and what exactly is Manga.
Alita: Battle Angel is being destroyed by critics and financially at the box office. Honestly your hosts don’t care. They both really enjoyed the movie and think you should go see it too. Is it the perfect movie, no, but it is a hell of a lot of fun! With that being said it is not for everyone. If you enjoy action, technology, special effects, robots, or comic books you will enjoy this movie. Maniac Matt really liked Alita and almost gave it 4.5 Reels, but he let the film stew in his mind for a day and settled on 4 out of 5 Reels. The biggest issues he had with the film is the just horrible forced love story and the sometimes-rough dialog. Mike Talent also really enjoyed this film and almost gave it 4 out of 5 Reels like Matt but one issue Mike and Matt clearly have a telepathic link. Mr. Talent figured Matt would give it 4 Reels and wanted to make sure he was harsher than Matt. He gives Alita: Battle Angel 3.5 out of 5 Reels. To sum it all up don’t give up on this one before you see it. Go watch it and decide for yourself. The special effects alone are well worth the price of admission.
This Thursday the guys had to change the movie they are reviewing. Fighting with My Family was pushed back a week, why who knows. Instead Mike picked a Tributary film also based on a comic book that was recently released on Netflix, Polar. Thanks for tuning in for the start of our second-year podcasting. Do us a favor and help us grow our listeners this year by telling your friends, rating, and review us on iTunes. Talk at you Thursday!

Episode #88: The Poindexter Awards
Thursday Feb 14, 2019
Thursday Feb 14, 2019
The time is finally here! Are you as pumped as we are for this episode? The first ever Reel Film Nerds Poindexter Awards! It also happens to be our 1-year anniversary by the way. Wow a whole year of us chatting about movies, beer, and life. How is that possible? Here is your warning, this is our longest podcast ever! It is an hour and 45 minutes!
The guys really had a blast recording it well eventually recording it. Mike Talent gave up on trying to get is POS laptop working after 2 hours and grabbed an old desktop to record on. Lots of beers were consumed in the interim which probably helped with the pod.
Here is the run down. There are 25 total categories for the Poindexter Awards. The first part of the podcast your host’s fight it out over their picks in 13 different categories and there can only be one winner per category! Next there are 2 Listeners’ Award categories that all of you voted for well hopefully you voted for. Batting third are the Individual Awards. These categories are more personal, fun, and even zany! Each host gets a pick for each category with some discussion and laughs. Batting cleanup, the boys really get into it on their pick for the first Poindexter Award for Best Movie of the Year. Whew I know that is a lot to process.
Don’t feel pressured to listen to the whole pod if you prefer not to. Of course, we would prefer it if you did. Next Tuesday kicks off year 2 of the RFN Podcast. Matt and Mike are going to do their best to catch a movie twice in theaters, Alita: Battle Angel for Tuesday and Fighting With My Family for Thursday.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for listening to our podcast this past year. If it wasn’t for you, our listeners, we would not be here doing this great podcast. Again, thank you and get ready for an even better second year of talking about film, beer, and God knows what else. Talk at you Tuesday and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Episode #87: Cold Pursuit
Tuesday Feb 12, 2019
Tuesday Feb 12, 2019
Welcome everyone! It is our anniversary week! Now we promised we would only record one episode this week since it’s a giant show, but we lied. Mr. Mike Talent and Matt really wanted to watch Taken in a Blizzard and discuss it. Maybe consider it a bonus episode? The guys rate and review Liam Neeson’s latest revenge film, Cold Pursuit. Extra topics today include talking during movies, zapatos, and the infamous Alamo Drafthouse.
Cold Pursuit is not what the guys thought it was going to be. It feels a lot more like Fargo then it does Taken. It is a revenge film but quickly turns from one story into three stories that intersect in fascinating ways. The cinematography was just beautiful and as Matt pointed out the homes they use as settings are incredible too. They are almost characters in their own right. Is this a must see film in the theaters, nope. If there are no new movies you want to watch at home and can’t wait for the weekend to see a new film, then sure go ahead and watch it. Mike Talent felt Cold Pursuit was ok and not anything special. He did enjoy it, but it fell a bit short for him especially in the story department. He awards Cold Pursuit 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt felt very similar about this film. It was just average. There were parts of it he really enjoyed but overall it was just an average movie. He gives the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
The time has come! This Thursday is our one-year anniversary and our first ever awards show, the Poindexter Awards! Did you get your vote in for the Listeners’ Podcast and Movie of the Year? If not it’s too late. HA! It is going to be a doozy of a show, AKA it is going to be very long. The guys had a blast recording it and we hope you enjoy listening to it. Have a great week and we will really chat at you on Thursday!
