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!
