Another week has come and gone and you know what that means a new Reel Film Nerds podcast!  On this week’s hump day Mean Mike Talent and Amazing Matt review another superhero movie but there is a catch, this is a horror/thriller superhero movie.  Brightburn brought to you by the Gunn brothers puts a dark spin on the Superman origin story to say the least. Extra topics include growlers, nerds are now cool, and of course the rise of superhero films in mainstream media today.

Brightburn is an intense superhero thriller that starts out slowly and quickly ramps up the fear and violence.  It is a gritty, dark, and gory film even cringeworthy at times. The acting is excellent especially from Elizabeth Banks and Jackson A. Dunn. Mike and Matt both recommend you go out and see this movie especially if you like horror or superhero films.  Matt really loved the take on the classic origin of Superman. It reminded him of the DC comic publications known as the Elseworlds and the Marvel comic book series What If?  He gives Brightburn 4 out of 5 Reels.  Mean Mike Talent also enjoyed this thriller just not as much as Matt.  He can be very harsh especially in his old age. Mike gives Brightburn 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  

Next week we are going to be talking about the Elton John biopic Rocketman starring that kid from the Kingman’s movies Taron Egerton who actually sings John’s songs in the film unlike some other recent biopic that was nominated for a bunch of awards, sorry rant over.  Don’t forget to support local podcasting and listen to our sister podcasts The Bluemilk Podcast and The Mile High Show.  Chat at you next week!

Wednesday is now the Reel Film Nerds’ NEW PODCAST DAY, well for now it is. Boy do we have a good one for you today too.  The latest installment of one of the best modern action movie franchises, John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum.  Bonus topics start out with vacations, sister podcasts, pants, and slugs not the creature but the round.

John Wick is a staple in the action movie world.  It is quickly becoming one of the most consistent action franchises of our generation.  It is over the top with its action and brutality but is also shot beautifully. How much farther can they really push the action after this film?  It was just incredible! The world of John Wick and The Continental continues to grow as well which is a nice touch. Matt would have liked to seen more world building which I am sure there will be more in the recently announced John Wick 4.  Mike loves the John Wick series. It is one of his favorite film franchises of all time and this latest installment is his favorite. He gives John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt also likes the John Wick films a ton especially the incredible action and the introduction of new characters and locales.  He gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels.

Next week we are going to be talking about James Gunn’s superhero horror movie Brightburn and maybe another movie if Mike, I mean the hosts have time.  Support local podcasting and make sure to listen to our sister podcasts that talk about amazing topics as well probably even more amazing than our topic, nah movies are pretty damn amazing, The Bluemilk Podcast and The Mile High Show.  Chat at you next week!

What another episode on Wednesday not Tuesday or Thursday?  What the hell is going on with the Reel Film Nerds? Well you need to listen to this episode where we also review the 2019 version of Hellboy.  Extracurricular topics include IMAX, Southpark, and cameras to name a few.

Hellboy (2019) is not as bad as the critics make it out to be but on the other hand it is not a masterpiece.  The CGI at times is bad, real bad. The acting is ok but mostly comes off as the actors just collecting a check.  The costumes work well and look good especially David Harbour as Hellboy. The story can be very busy and jump all over yet also drags at times.  Basically it is a hot mess. It was nice finally getting an R rated Hellboy film but they really went over the top with the blood and gore almost to the point where it’s just annoying.  Mike Talent liked Hellboy (2019) but thought it was just average giving it 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt was not as huge of a fan. He did not hate the film but did not think it was anything special either.  He gives it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week we hope to squeeze out a Tributary on the new Netflix film based on Ted Bundy Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile starring Zac Efron.  If you listened to the pod Mike and Matt are really having a tough time connecting to record.  Their schedules are just so different right now especially with the huge time difference. They will continue recording just not twice a week for now.  If you are itching to hear someone else talk about equally amazing topics don’t forget to listen to our sister podcasts The Bluemilk Podcast and The Mile High Show.  Chat at you next week!
