Hi everyone and welcome back! We have been on a little bit of a break the past week, but we return to you today with a vengeance! Ok well Matt returns with a vengeance, Mysterious Mike is M.I.A. after his recent nuptials. I am guessing he is doing this thing called a honeymoon? Single guys like Matt will never know what that is. Back on topic, today Matt talks about Last Flag Flying an Amazon Studio’s original starring Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell.
Last Flag Flying is a very serious film that discusses a difficult but important topic. It does get a little political here and there but how can you not when discussing the death of a young soldier? The acting is incredible, the sets are great, but the story is what really sets this one apart. It is nice having some well-timed and appropriate humor that helps with the very serious subject matter. Matt really enjoyed Last Flag Flying and gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
