Wow do we have an incredible podcast for you today! The guys have a super special guest who has extensive knowledge on the source material for the film we reviewed, Sony’s latest Marvel film Venom! Bonus trivia this is our guest’s first podcast ever and Mike and Matt thought he did a fantastic job! The three hosts stay on topic just about the whole pod even though it ends up running long. That 30 minute rule seems to be broken a lot lately. Topics include everyone’s favorite Venom host, the Venom trailer vs. the movie, Natural Born Killers, Spiderman, and of course the Venom comic book vs. the movie.
Venom was a fun action packed movie that dragged a bit during the first half of the film. The CGI was incredible, the story was fun, and the villains were great! Our special guest known as Lumberjack Michael is an absolute Venom fanatic and gave the movie 4.5 out of 5 Reels!!!! He does really love Venom like no one Mike or Matt has ever met! Mysterious Mike was surprised by the film and just like Matt does not understand why the critics are tearing it apart. It is not a ground breaking movie but it is not hot garbage either. Mike gives Venom 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt probably for the first time ever gave a lower rating than Mike! He gives this antihero film 3 out of 5 Reels. He really wanted this movie to be rated R and it wasn’t. Deadpool, his favorite comic character’s films are rated R and have done gang busters at the box office so why not make a Venom movie properly and rate it R?
This Thursday Harvest Horror Fest continues with a surprise, even for Matt, first ever solo cast by Mysterious Mike! He reviews the 2007 horror film Trick ‘r Treat. Thanks for hanging out with us and Mike will chat at you on Thursday!
