Hello there everyone and welcome to this week’s Reel Film Nerds Podcast. Today Mike and Matt chat about a little comedy that just hit theaters, About My Father starring Robert De Niro, Sebastian Maniscalco, Leslie Bibb, and Kim Cattrall. Bonus topics today include movie remakes, Disney, and night farts.
Are you looking for a quick change from all the summer blockbusters? Then About My Father is right up your alley. It is a fun soulful comedy about a father and son meeting their rich future in-laws at their summer country club home. Robert De Niro is really flexing his comedy muscles as an Italian hairstylist immigrant just wanting what’s best for his son. Sebastian Maniscalco does a great job as himself trying to be the mediator between the two very different families.
Is this film going to set the world on fire, nope. It is just a good old fashioned comedy filled with heart and a great ending. Matt and Mike agree it is not a must see in theaters but it is well worth a watch. Matt awards About My Father 3 out of 5 Reels while Mike awards the movie 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
For our next pod Matt and Mike continue with another summer blockbuster. Probably the most anticipated of the year, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Don’t forget to stay for the end to hear Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #15 where she chats about the new live action Little Mermaid. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Hi kiddos and welcome to another RFN podcast. For Episode #324 the summer blockbusters keep on coming with Fast X starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jason Mamoa. Not family or car topics today include, is the MCU dead, AI is taking over, and Fast XXX.
Do you love nonsensical action, bad stories, and characters that never really die? Then Fast X is right up your alley! Just like the previous nine films Fast X is over the top action with a really strange plot and characters that are not needed (looking at you Brie Larson). Basically if you like this series up to this point you will love this film. If you are not a fan of Fast and Furious or insane fantasy action then you might as well skip this one. It can be a ton of fun if you know what you are in for before you sit down in your seat. The best part of Fast X is Jason Mamoa’s villain Dante. You can tell he is just really having a ball playing a psycho killer out for revenge. He is so over the top but it really works well.
Mike and Matt both agree this is not a must see film unless you love the Fast and Furious Franchise. Mike awards Fast X 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt just a smidge higher gives it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the guys change it up a bit with a good old fashioned family comedy, About My Father. Don’t forget to stay for the end to hear Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #14. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Hump day is here! For this week's podcast Matt and Mike chat about a streaming movie! Yes it’s been a while but there wasn’t much released in the theaters so we hit up Apple TV+ to check out Ghosted starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. Extra topics today include cameos, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is killing it, and friends in high places.
It’s been a very long time since we just stayed at home and streamed a movie for review. Ghosted was a great pick by Mysterious Mike Talent. It is not too serious, action packed, romantic, and even comedic. The film stars Captain America AKA Chris Evans as a super clingy guy trying to track down a girl he spent only one night with. He quickly finds out that maybe he should have quit while he was a head. Ana de Armas stars as the no nonsense CIA operative whose one night stand tracks her down while trying to save the world.
Ghosted was a lot of fun and had some great action. The special effects at times were very lacking. The brief but hilarious cameos by some big stars just added to the fun. Mike awards Ghosted 3 out of 5 Reels while Matt gives it a 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the summer blockbusters continue to roll with Fast X starring just about every major action star ever! Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #13 at the end of this incredible podcast. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Well the time has come. We all knew this day would be here but I think we were all just in denial. For Episode 322 we chat about James Gunn’s last Marvel Cinematic Universe film, as of now, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 starring Chris Pratt, Chukwudi Iwuji, Bradley Cooper, and Karen Gillian. Not MCU topics today include golf, DCEU, and the Phoenix Suns.
Let’s not beat around the bush, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is an incredible film. It wraps up some of the most loved films of the MCU to date in a nice tight bow. James Gunn you will be missed sir but we will be looking forward to the work you create at DC. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the complete package. Great acting, fun story, great pacing, lots of humor, honestly there isn’t much missing from this film. Seriously, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the best MCU film since Spider-Man No Way Home and that’s a bold statement.
Mike, Matt and Ma agree you must see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in the theater. It is a great kickoff to the summer blockbuster season. This film is made to be seen on the biggest baddest screen available. Mike and Ma without hesitation give Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 a perfect score of 5 out of 5 Reels and Cookies. Matt on the other hand thinks not everyone can see this film, especially people who are sensitive to animal harm. He awards the film a near perfect score of 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week there isn’t much hitting the theaters thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 so Mike, Matt, and Ma hit the streaming services to check out Ghosted starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #12 at the end of this incredible podcast. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

May is here and so is the warm weather, finally! For today’s pod Matt and Mike chat about a WWII film that is flying under the radar, Sisu starring Jorma Tommila, Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan, and Mimosa Willamo. Not murdering Nazi topics include crazy gas prices, another giveaway (Yes really!!!), and Cinco de Mayo.
If you are looking for a fun movie with tons of brutal, graphic, and hilarious deaths Sisu is the perfect film for you. Taking place at the end of WWII, the Nazi’s are running and destroying everything in their wake fleeing the Allies advance. A small division of Nazi’s makes the mistake of trying to steal a gold miner’s haul who is not exactly what he appears to be. Chaos ensues and the miner gets his gold, to put it mildly.
Sisu is a really fun film. It is laugh out loud hilarious at times. The story is extremely basic and so is the dialogue. This works but also makes the film seem like it’s slow and even boring. The acting, cinematography, and sets are incredible. Where this film really shines though is the action and gore. Sisu is not for everyone but it is a really great time especially on the big screen. Mike Awards Sisu 3 out of 5 Reels while Matt comes in a bit above with 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week is going to be a sad week. Matt, Ma, and Mike head to the theaters to watch the last James Gunn Marvel Cinematic Universe film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #11 at the end of this incredible podcast. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Happy new podcast day listeners! For Reel Film Nerds Episode #320 we chat about a very serious war film, Guy Ritchie's The Covenant starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim. Not serious topics include 420, we have a brand new giveaway (hint it’s Scream VI), and Champagne or Champagne of Beers?
War is always a difficult topic to cover in any medium. Film, especially a really well done war film shows the horrors, brotherhood, and victims of war to those of us who will never experience such tragedy. Guy Ritchie's The Covenant is one of those war films that sparks a conversation. Centered on the Afghanistan War, specifically the bond between soldiers of different countries, Guy Ritchie's The Covenant opens the viewers minds and eyes to bear witness to the duty and love soldiers have for one another even from different countries.
Jake Gyllenhaal does an incredible job. He is a fantastic actor with a huge range and has starred in war films before. Dar Salim though was on another level. He steals the spotlight from Jake and he deserves it. What an incredible job he does as Ahmed, an Afghanistan translator. The shots, cinematography, and stunts were all top notch but not award winning. The story though, inspired by true events, not based on a true story, is just incredible. It really makes this film what it is. Matt and Mike both agree Guy Ritchie's The Covenant is a must see film. They both award it 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we continue with war movies with our chat on Sisu that takes place towards the end of WWII. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #10 at the end of this incredible podcast. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Here we are again, it’s like Mike and Matt do these things every week. For this week’s pod Matt and Mike, and Ma Hinshaw and Matt, chat about the latest Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult film Renfield. Not Dracula topics include Moviepass is getting better, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and putting kids to work.
Dracula has been a horror icon for generations and Renfield finally gives Nicolas Cage his chance at playing the mythical creature, and he kills it. Renfield is like two films smashed into one. You have the story of Renfield, Dracula’s familiar, and his struggles to confront his narcissistic boss and grow as a person. Then you have the story of a cop trying to live up to her father’s reputation and take down a large crime family while combating cop corruption. They are both great stories but are smashed together to create an odd script for Renfield.
The acting is fantastic and not just from Nic Cage but also Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina, and Ben Schwartz. The sets are colorful and creative, but the action and gore is where this film really shines. It’s just so much fun and over the top it reminds you of a video game. Matt and Mike both agree Renfield is a blast and worth a watch in the theaters. They both award the film 3 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we check out the new release Guy Ritchie's The Covenant starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #9 at the end of RFN Episode #319. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Welcome one and all! For today’s amazing podcast Mike and Matt chat about a classic American underdog story Air starring Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, and Ben Affleck. Not Nike based topics include video on demand, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and shoe stores.
So far 2023 has been an interesting year for films with multiple sneak attacks. Air is another one of those attacks. We knew this film was coming out and what it was based around but wow it was a whole lot more than either host expected. The acting and directing is incredible. Matt Damon as Sunny Vaccaro is clearly the standout but he is surrounded by an incredible amount of talent. Viola Davis kills it as we have all come to expect as Michael Jordan’s Mom Deloris. Davis is just insanely talented. The surprise though was Chris Tucker. An incredible actor in his own right but not known for dramatic roles, Tucker is instrumental in this film. Your hosts hope to see him make a much bigger comeback in serious roles like this one.
Air is the complete package. The script is incredible, the story is very good, the acting is out of this world, and the cinematography is excellent. Mike and Matt agree Air is a must see film. Matt gives Air a near perfect rating with 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Mike with a rare perfect rating awards the film 5 out of 5 Reels!
Next week we check out the new release Renfield starring Nicolas Cage, Nicholas Hoult, and Awkwafina. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #8 at the end of RFN Episode #318. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Happy new podcast day! For Reel Film Nerds Podcast #317 Matt and Mike chat about a movie based on a classic RPG Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez. Not misunderstood board game topics include Bones, cats, and allergies.
What a really nice spring surprise. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a really fun movie with a great story, great acting, decent CGI, and surprisingly great humor. D&D is not a monster movie, it is a creature movie. There are lots of fun animals, dragons, and mythical creatures throughout the film. D&D does not try to take itself too seriously. What I mean by that is this, the movie does not try to tell you what to think. It does not try to make you experience an emotional or analytical revelation. It is just a movie with a great adventure, story, and characters. It’s exactly the kind of movie that we are really missing today.
No, D&D is not going to win any awards. It’s not going to have you talking about it with your friends two weeks later. It’s just a really fun time. Mike and Matt think this is a must see film in the theaters. Mike awards Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 4 out of 5 Reels while Matt gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next week we check out the new release Air starring Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, and Ben Affleck. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #7 at the end of RFN Episode #317. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Happy hump day everyone! It’s here, woo-hoo, John Wick: Chapter 4 and man it did not disappoint. Bonus topics today include Dolby Atmos, Dodge Challenger Demon, and Matt and Ma are back on the radio!
It’s been just about 4 years since John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and man a lot has changed in our world. Matt and Mike are just so happy that John Wick didn’t. John Wick: Chapter 4 is an incredible film. The stunts are always at the top but this chapter they really added in martial arts. The John Wick series has always had a level of martial arts but not like this. A lot of that has to do with new co-star Donnie Yen. What an incredible actor and martial artist. He really helped elevate an already incredible franchise. Keanu Reeves, as always, was incredible. He has really upped his hand to hand combat to try to keep up with Yen and we think he did a great job.
If John Wick: Chapter 4 is the final main film in this franchise your hosts would be satisfied. It has a very good story, amazing action, great characters, incredible acting, and even some really fun humor. Matt and Mike both agree this is a must see film in the theaters. They both award John Wick: Chapter 4, 4.5 out of 5 Reels.
For next week's pod we continue with the new theater releases with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Wow, March is moving by quickly! This week Mike, Matt, and Ma Hinshaw chat about a recent Academy Award winning film RRR currently streaming on Netflix. Additional topics include Happy Birthday Mike, the British Empire was ruthless, and to dub or not to dub.
Matt has been wanting to watch this film since he found out about late last summer. He just wanted to wait to review it with Mike for this pod and man he was not disappointed. RRR is an incredible film! Excellent story, amazing action, and very very good acting. RRR is extremely loosely based on real revolutionaries and real events but it is a fictional retelling, almost a What If type story.
The stunts and action are some of the best we have ever seen. Yes they are very unrealistic at times and down right over the top but man are they cool to watch. The cinematography was excellent. It’s lit so perfectly and shot so well that it’s almost distracting. Mike, Ma, and Matt all agree RRR is a must see film!
Mike with the highest rating gives RRR 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt and Ma on the other hand both award it 4 out of 5 Reels and Oatmeal cookies.
For next week's pod we head to theaters to catch Keanu Reeves latest installment of the infamous John Wick series, John Wick: Chapter 4!! Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Happy almost St. Patrick's Day everyone! For Episode 314 Mike and Matt chat about a little film that hit the box office last week starring Adam Driver, 65. Additional topics today include The 2023 Academy Awards, Flying Basset, and one incredible giveaway.
When it comes to film with dinosaurs the bar has been set pretty high but also pretty low. 65 is a decent film that falls in the middle of dinosaur films. The CGI is pretty good, the acting by Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt is very good, but what falls flat is the story. It’s not a horrible story but it just doesn’t have a ton of substance or dialogue. Because of this the world building is very lacking as well. There is little to no character development so this ancient journey dodging being eaten every few minutes really doesn’t have a ton of weight to it because you don’t really care about the two main characters. 65 is not a bad film, it's just not a great film like Jurassic Park. Mike and Matt agree 65 only earns a mediocre score of 2 out of 5 Reels.
For next week's episode Mike wanted to stay home from the theaters. He picked an Indian film that just won an Academy Award this week, RRR. It is currently streaming on Netflix so why not watch it with us? Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Welcome one and all. It's a new podcast day for the Reel Film Nerds. For today’s episode Ma, Mike and Matt chat about Guy Ritchie’s latest film Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre. Bonus discussions include Legion, death, and Yes Man.
This is not your typical Guy Ritchie film. The story is told directly, there are not a ton of characters, and there are no big twists or reveals. Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is not a bad film just not what your hosts have come to expect from Ritchie. It’s a spy satire with some really funny moments but not enough. It was great seeing Josh Hartnett back on screen and in a somewhat starring role. Aubrey Plaza, Hugh Grant, and of course Jason Statham all do great jobs. Operation Fortune is just missing something keeping it from hitting that incredible film rank like previous Ritchie flicks. Ma and Mike agree Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre is a solid 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really expected more but he still really enjoyed himself. He awards the film 3 out of 5 Reels.
Mike, Matt, and even Ma just can’t stay away from the theaters in 2023. For next week they will report back about the Sci-Fi dinosaur thriller 65 starring Adam Driver. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Welcome to March everyone. Can you believe how fast this year has rocketed by? For today’s pod Mike, Matt, and Ma Hinshaw chat about a film that is tearing up the box office Cocaine Bear directed by Elizabeth Banks. Not drug related animal topics include 8K, Movie Pass sucks again, and a new incredible Blu-ray giveaway.
This movie is exactly what we wanted, just not enough of it. Cocaine Bear is a high dollar B-movie with A-list stars and an amazing CGI bear. The biggest problem with this film is they did not push the boundaries harder. There are some really great over the top scenes and humor but they are too few and far between. Another big issue is the amount of stories in this film. There are a ton of characters, which is great, but they all have these pretty intricate stories. Why, why are there so many? A handful at best but better developed really would improve this film.
Matt and Mike both agree this is a wait until it’s streaming kinda movie. It is a ton of fun and if you want to go to the theaters please do but it’s not a must see film. Mike awards Cocaine Bear 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt is just a smidge lower with 2 out of 5 Reels. Of course we can’t forget Ma Hinshaw who just loves pretty much anything, she awards the movie 3.5 out of 5 cookies.
Next week Mike, Matt, and even Ma continue their theater going run with Guy Ritchie’s latest film Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre starring Jason Statham. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!
