Episode #87: Cold Pursuit

By Matt on Tuesday, February 12, 2019

Welcome everyone! It is our anniversary week! Now we promised we would only record one episode this week since it’s a giant show, but we lied. Mr. Mike Talent and Matt really wanted to watch Taken in a Blizzard and discuss it. Maybe consider it a bonus episode? The guys rate and review Liam Neeson’s latest revenge film, Cold Pursuit. Extra topics today include talking during movies, zapatos, and the infamous Alamo Drafthouse.

Cold Pursuit is not what the guys thought it was going to be. It feels a lot more like Fargo then it does Taken. It is a revenge film but quickly turns from one story into three stories that intersect in fascinating ways. The cinematography was just beautiful and as Matt pointed out the homes they use as settings are incredible too. They are almost characters in their own right. Is this a must see film in the theaters, nope. If there are no new movies you want to watch at home and can’t wait for the weekend to see a new film, then sure go ahead and watch it. Mike Talent felt Cold Pursuit was ok and not anything special. He did enjoy it, but it fell a bit short for him especially in the story department. He awards Cold Pursuit 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt felt very similar about this film. It was just average. There were parts of it he really enjoyed but overall it was just an average movie. He gives the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

The time has come! This Thursday is our one-year anniversary and our first ever awards show, the Poindexter Awards! Did you get your vote in for the Listeners’ Podcast and Movie of the Year? If not it’s too late. HA! It is going to be a doozy of a show, AKA it is going to be very long. The guys had a blast recording it and we hope you enjoy listening to it. Have a great week and we will really chat at you on Thursday!

Episode #86: Legacy – The Other Guys

By Matt on Thursday, February 7, 2019

Are you as excited as we are? It’s only a week until our 1 year anniversary and the first ever Poindexter Awards!!! While we both are forced to wait we have a very fun Legacy Cast for you, Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s The Other Guys. Extracurricular topics include Matt’s coworkers, our love of Michael Keaton, and do docudramas do more than entertain?

Mike and Matt just love this movie so much so all they did was talk about their favorite parts of it for the entire podcast. The Other Guys is really underrated. It is a much better film than the critics say it is. The jokes and writing are fantastic and the comedic timing is just about perfect. The action is great especially from a mostly comedic director. The inclusion of The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson although very brief is an amazing and fun surprise. Matt gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike in that rare occasion has a higher rating than Matt. He gives The Other Guys 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Don’t forget to go vote for your movie of the year on our Facebook page. The poll will come to a close when we record this coming Sunday. The guys promised only one podcast next week well they lied. They both really want to watch and discuss Liam Neeson’s Taken in a blizzard better known as Cold Pursuit. Look for that one on Tuesday and the highly anticipated Poindexter Awards on Thursday! Have an incredible weekend and make sure you go out and catch a movie!

Anyways do us a favor and tell your friends and family about our fun little pod especially if you hate it!

Episode #85: Legacy – Wayne’s World

By Matt on Tuesday, February 5, 2019

Tuesday is here and that means another incredible podcast review from your besties at the Reel Film Nerds! Today The Talent and Just Matt talk about one of their favorite Legacy Cast’s Wayne’s World, PARTY TIME! Bonus topics include sports ball finale, The Talent’s wedding, and Wayne’s World trivia.

Wayne’s World is a classic incredible film that you must go watch now. The story is amazing and extremely relatable at least for Mike and Matt. The performances are great, the sets are extremely detailed, and the soundtrack oh man the soundtrack is just perfect! Again, if you can’t tell Matt and Mike really love this movie. It’s smart, zany, and incredibly fun. They both give it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thursday your hosts continue the fun and levity with the review of The Other Guys. Another amazing and fun comedy to put it mildly. After the past few weeks of tough hard-hitting movies and upcoming award shows both the hosts just needed some good laughs. Don’t forget to vote for your movie and podcast of the year.
