Episode #46: Peppermint

By Matt on Tuesday, September 11, 2018

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to your first Reel Film Nerds pod of the week! Today your host’s Matt and Mike discuss Jennifer Garner’s return to the silver screen, Peppermint. Peppermint is your classic revenge story littered with tons of action scenes. Your hosts stick to the review at hand for the most part. Mike actually went off on a pretty solid tangent about Liam Neeson and his legacy of Taken films. Amazing, it was not Matt for once! Of course, he brought up Star Wars again but just for a little bit. Mike and Matt also discuss other revenge films they really enjoy like Man on Fire. For those of you looking for a discussion on Moviepass sorry. Maybe Mike will get Matt going on the next pod.

Mike and Matt both were not super impressed with this movie, but they did not think it was terrible either. It was just an average film. The acting was decent, the action was well done, the story is not great and has been repeated throughout cinema many times over, but it is not horrible either. Mike gives Peppermint 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt enjoyed the film as well but did have some issues with it especially how they ended it. He gives it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Coming up on Thursday is an incredible Legacy cast, Ghostbusters!!! No not the 2016 remake the original from 1984! Matt is super excited to talk about it and so is Mike. It is going to be a fun one. Thanks for listening and chat at you then!

Episode #45: Legacy – Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

By Matt on Thursday, September 6, 2018

Hi everybody and welcome to the Reel Film Nerds latest pod. Today the guys discuss a fun and crazy Legacy Cast, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. The guys talk about journalism, Hunter S. Thompson, Tobey Maguire, and lots of trivia about the film. Don’t worry they get off topic too. Mike just keeps pushing a Moviepass discussion and Matt might have finally given up the good fight and dropped his subscription.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a wild film with an insane and drug riddled premise. The acting is amazing, the sets are fantastic, and it is shot beautifully. The guys once again agreed on a rating. Matt and Mike both give Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 4 out of 5 Reels. What do you think, is Matt really as dark as he sounds and should he stop reading Marvel Comics and start reading the dark and gritty world of DC? Wait hold on we talk about movies here, so what if he is dark?

Next Tuesday the guys will be talking about Jennifer Garner’s action revenge thriller Peppermint. It is nice to see her getting work again outside of the Capital One commercials! Lastly don’t forget we are still looking for suggestions for Episode #50 which is coming up SUPER fast. Email us your thoughts and suggestions or just email us to say hello. Chat at you next week!

Episode #44: Operation Finale

By Matt on Tuesday, September 4, 2018

Hello fellow movie nerds and welcome to another incredible episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast! Today we talk about a very serious and incredible drama based on a true story, Operation Finale starring Sir Ben Kinglsey and Oscar Isaac. The film is based on the hunting down and capture of escaped Holocaust mastermind Adolph Eichmann. Your hosts do stray off topic a bit especially Matt like always but they do their best to steer the review back on course. The guys talk about why history is important, college, and World War 2 based movies The Darkest Hour and Dunkirk. This is one of the more serious podcasts the guys have done but it is a very serious film on an incredible true story.

Mike and Matt both loved this movie and highly recommend you see it even if you can’t make it to the local movie theater and have to watch it later when it comes out on Blu-ray or Netflix. It is incredibly impactful and well acted by the majority of the cast, sorry Nick Kroll you sucked. Matt and Mike both give the film 4 out of 5 Reels.

This Thursday Matt and Mike review a film that is basically the exact opposite of Operation Finale. The hosts review a cult classic drug riddle story based around the book and life of famed journalist Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. Talk at you Thursday. Don’t forget we are still looking for suggestions for Episode #50 which is coming up real fast. Email us your thoughts on what we should do for this upcoming milestone episode.
