Episode #55: Harvest Horror Fest – Trick ‘r Treat

Harvest Horror Fest continues!!  Today Mysterious Mike presents his first solo cast, Trick ‘r Treat.  It is sweet, quick, and to the point.  This pod compensates for the multiple 30-minute plus podcasts lately.  Mike talks about his upcoming trip to Universal Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights, Netflix still has DVD’s, and Bad Santa.  He mostly stays on topic though.

Trick ‘r Treat is a fun horror movie that Mike should have seen by now but hasn’t.  It is 5 stories in one that all happen on Halloween night.  It has a stellar cast with good acting and will be a cult classic for years to come.  Mysterious Mike gives the film an average rating of 3 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks everyone for listening.  There are a ton of movies coming out this month and Matt and Mike are still arguing on which ones to do reviews on.  If they had time they would just do a podcast a day, too bad they are both working stiffs and don’t have the time.  This Tuesday look forward to a review of either A Star is Born, First Man, or Bad Times at the El Royale.  Chat at you next Tuesday and remember Harvest Horror Fest continues next Thursday with another cult classic horror film.

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 #54: Venom

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!

Episode #53: Harvest Horror Fest – Tusk

Welcome everyone to the kick off of what hopefully will become an annual event, the Reel Film Nerds’ Harvest Horror Fest!  Our first pick is probably our worst pick, but Matt tricked Mike anyways because he is a dick like that.  Today the boys discuss the disaster of a horror film Tusk by famed writer and director Kevin Smith.  The guys get off topic as always but some of the topics do relate more than others.  They discuss the Sixth Sense, going to the bathroom during a movie, production company A24, Chasing Amy, and why can’t we have DVR movie theaters?

Tusk is just flat out a horrible movie and you really should not watch it unless you are insanely bored, insanely!!!!  It is not even hilariously bad, it’s just bad period.  Mike wanted to give it 0 Reels, but he is not that cruel, he gives Tusk 0.5 Reels out of 5.  Matt has a love hate relationship with Kevin Smith and this is one of the hate instances.  He gives Tusk 1 out of 5 Reels.

Next Tuesday we will be reviewing the least anticipated Marvel, not MCU, movie to date Venom.  Matt is trying to get a special guest to be on who is a huge fan of Venom and what his thoughts are of his favorite comic character’s latest flick.  Don’t forget Harvest Horror Fest continues next Thursday with From Dusk till Dawn.  Do us a favor and write in to let us know if you like or hate Harvest Horror Fest.  I know Mike is loving it.  Chat at you on Tuesday!

Episode #52: Assassination Nation

Welcome back movie lovers to another episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Today we review a movie that 90% of you have never heard of, Assassination Nation.  This movie has had a limited release and was picked to go nation wide from the Sundance Film Festival.  It is not for the faint of heart, but it is an amazing film.  Mysterious Mike and Matt also talk about press conferences, the late Sen. John McCain, LGBTQ, sexting, and hackers.

Assassination Nation is a dark, gritty, and eye-opening film.  It keeps you thinking during the movie and days after you witness it.  The sets are great, the acting is amazing, and the story is incredible especially the social commentary.  Matt and Mike were both surprised by this movie and really enjoyed it.  They once again agree on a rating, 4 out of 5 Reels.  Wait is this becoming a trend?  Assassination Nation is not for everybody but if you love film this one is a must see.

Remember to tune in this Thursday when the first Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest kicks off with one of Kevin Smith’s first horror films, Tusk.
