Episode #62: Legacy – Last Flag Flying

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.

Thank you liking, subscribing, and supporting our little pod.  Matt will do his best to wrangle up Mysterious Mike for Thursday where we will be discussing a biopic that is taking the country by storm, Bohemian Rhapsody.  Chat at you then!

Episode #61: Harvest Horror Fest – Cabin in the Woods

Well listeners we are sorry to say but the end is here but man is it an amazing end!  For the final episode of Harvest Horror Fest 2018 your hosts Mike and Matt discuss the comedy horror flick Cabin in the Woods.  This is one of our longer episodes but sit tight it is fun and worth a listen.  Topics include Marvel, horror tropes, Joss Whedon, Thor, Signals AZ, and we have more than 4 listeners?  How did that happen?

Cabin in the Woods is a near perfect blend of two genres.  It is fun, dramatic, and exciting to name a few.  The acting is stellar especially the little known actors that star in this film.  The story is really where Cabin in the Woods shines though.  This is a must watch film for everyone.  Mike really enjoyed it and awards the movie a near perfect score with 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt truly loves Cabin in the Woods even though he is not a huge horror movie guy.  He drops the elusive perfect score with 5 out of 5 Reels!  Seriously if you have not seen Cabin in the Woods do yourself a favor and watch it.

Just a reminder listeners the coming week or two might be a little light on the podcast front.  Mike is having a lot of life things happening that I guess are more important than watching movies.  Matt will also be busy with regular work and the NAZ Suns 2018-19 season starting but he is going to try his hardest to record a few shows solo or with some special guests.  Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoyed Harvest Horror Fest!  We did so expect it to become an annual event.  Have a great weekend and welcome to November!
