Episode #51: White Boy Rick

Welcome back everyone!  Today your hosts Mysterious Mike and incredible Matt talk about Matthew McConaughey’s latest based on a true story film White Boy Rick.  There is not a ton to say about this film without spoiling it but we will always do our best to warn you when he hit that discussion area.  Topics also include crazy family life, drug addiction, the film Gold, and a controversial topic if all drugs should just be legal in the United States.  Lastly they remind you that the first Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest kicks off in one week!!!  Are you excited, we are!!!!

Mike and Matt both enjoyed this film but it is not a must see.  What makes this movie great is the acting and the incredible true story.  The editing was just flat out strange and the choices the director made on what to show you versus tell you bothered both of your hosts.  Mike gives this film 3 out of 5 Reels while Matt is a little more lenient with 3.5 out of 5 Reels. The hosts both agree White Boy Rick is worth a watch just for the story but wait until it is released on a streaming service or at Red Box.  Thank you for continued support and we will chat at you on Tuesday with a brand new movie review of Assassination Nation.

If you have a film you would like to hear Matt and Mike review feel free to email us at nerds@reelfilmnerds.com Thank you for liking, subscribing, rating, reviewing, and telling your friends about our podcast.

Episode #49: Legacy – Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

Good day everyone and welcome to yet another Reel Film Nerds podcast.  Yep we aren’t going away that easy!  Today Matt and Mike continue to gear up for their first Harvest Horror Fest with a Legacy cast of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.  The guys try to tell some jokes, but they fail miserably.  Staying on topic alludes your hosts too.  Matt is probably the biggest problem when it comes to staying on topic, sorry everyone.  Discussion includes Avengers 4, side boob, PBR, the new Captain Marvel trailer, Fargo, woodchippers, and hillbilly hog!  What a fun and odd conversation.

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a fun interesting take on the horror genre or comedy genre?  Let’s just go with both.  The writing is excellent, the acting is great, and the makeup/special effects are spot on.  Mike gives the film a little above average score of 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt who is much better at rating movies (according to him) and not nearly as harsh as Mike gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.

Episode 50 is next!  Can you believe it, we can’t.  We thought for sure Mike would get mad at Matt and quit after only a few episodes, but he didn’t!  Thanks, Mysterious Mike!  What do the guys have in store, we have no idea, probably just more random off topic talk and maybe a movie review?  Download next Tuesday’s episode to find out.  Thanks again for listening and we will see you next week.

Episode #48: The Predator

Welcome boys and girls to yet another podcast!!!  Today Mike and Matt talk about a giant mess of a movie, The Predator directed by Shane Black.  The guys stay fairly on topic for this one and basically rip this film apart.  This movie is just flat out all over the place.  Matt talks a bit about the many reshoots and controversies surrounding this movie while Mike just listens.  He was really tired so we will let it slide this time.  The guys also discuss the original Predator from 1987 and how much better it is, (if you want to hear more go back and listen to our Legacy cast on it Episode #21) sleep or lack of, the Android operating system, the Terminator, and lastly K2SO from Rogue One.

Matt and Mike had a ton of issues with this film but it was still fun.  If you are not a diehard Predator fan like they are wait until this one comes out on Netflix or Redbox.  It is just all over the place with tons of plot holes and parts of the film that are just flat out strange.  We have that rare occurrence when the guys agree on a rating both Mike and Matt give The Predator 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Like always thank you listening and spreading the word about our podcast to help us grow!  Coming up on Thursday the guys review a fun horror film? comedy? both?  Who knows we will all find out when the guys discuss and review Tucker & Dale vs Evil.  Talk at you then!

Hey kids and welcome to your last Reel Film Nerds pod of the week!  We have an incredible Legacy cast for you today!  It is a bit long but it is totally worth the extra 20 minutes or so.  The one the only, well should be the only, Ghostbusters!  Matt cannot say enough about this movie.  It is one of his favorites, definitely top 5.  Mysterious Mike also really likes this film from start to finish!  The guys talk a ton about Ghostbusters trivia, John Candy, John Belushi, the not so great 2016 remake, and a little off topic The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon TV shows.  Lastly the guys discuss what’s coming up in October the first ever Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest!

Mike and Matt both love Ghostbusters more than words can express, well at least Matt does.  He gives us his first perfect score!  It only took 47 episodes, but he has done it Matt gives Ghostbusters a perfect 5 out of 5 Reels!  Mike loves this film but for some reason is not as awesome as Matt and only gives it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Seriously Mike?  WTF?  Wait is that still a thing?  I don’t care I am using it!

Next Tuesday the guys talk about a controversial film well it is controversial now, The Predator.  They will try to explain all the controversy surrounding it and while Edward James Olmos was cut completely out!  For Tuesday the guys continue their drive towards Harvest Horror Fest with a Legacy cast of the comedy horror film Tucker and Dale vs Evil.  Don’t forget episode 50 is nipping at our heals and we still are looking for some suggestions so email us!  Should we do a neat review, give something away, or just not have a 50th episode and skip straight to 51?  Thanks again for listening to us and chat at you Tuesday!
