Episode #83: Tributary - Roma

It’s another Tuesday and that means you lucky listeners get another incredible Reel Film Nerds Podcast! Today your host’s Mike Talent and boring Matt discuss a Netflix Original Film that is nominated for multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture, Roma. Other topics include Mexico, voting for the Poindexter Awards, and Netflix movies in theaters.

Roma is a good stylistic film that has a sad and incomplete story. It seems to not really having a beginning or an end. It is not a bad story it is just not compelling. The film’s cinematography is amazing but writer and director Alfonso Cuarón uses a wide-angle pan shot over and over and over. It is incredible the first two or three times you see it, but he just does not stop using it. Mike enjoyed Roma but feels it is just an average film. He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt enjoyed the film more than Mike, but he really did not like the story. He gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels.

On Thursday the guys talk about a film most if not all of you have never heard of, Bomb City. It is based on a true story that takes place in a small Texas town between two very different clashing social classes. It is available to stream on Amazon Prime right now. Have a great week and we will chat at you Thursday, same time, same place.
