Hey kids what time is it? No it’s not Howdy Doody time it’s Reel Film Nerds podcast time!! Check us out we actually recorded a pod this week despite Matt being crazy busy with the 2019 IFL United Bowl. Today we talk about Ari Aster’s follow up to his first breakout horror film Hereditary (RFN Episode #23 if you are curious), Midsommar. Super special crazy impressive off topics include Galaxy’s Edge, cinema drones, we wish we could do this full time, and Drowning Nerd Productions needs a studio.
Midsommar is a super creepy cult movie with multiple images that will haunt your dreams for life! The story starts out with a giant bang and quickly turns into a bore. It is a really long movie but damn is it beautiful. The cinematography and set design were also masterfully done too bad the story did not match. There are some interesting scenes throughout the film but the overall story was just terrible, at least Matt thought it was. Mike thought it was ok but nothing compared to Hereditary. They both agree do not waste your money on seeing Midsommar in theaters. A24, the production/distribution company has a deal with Amazon Prime hosting all of their films, just go ahead and wait until this one pops up there. Mysterious Mike Talent gives the movie 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really just did not like Midsommar at all. There are aspects he enjoyed but the story was so bad he could not overlook it. He is actually harsher than Mike for once, giving it a full Reel lower with a 1.5 out of 5 Reels.
Either next week or later this week we will be reviewing an action comedy based on Uber starring Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani titled Stuber. What do you think should Mike and Matt quit their day jobs and start their own media company like Collider or Kinda Funny? Ya you are right they are not that talented, hell they can’t even get listeners for this podcast. Oh sweet dreams why do you torture our noble souls? TTYL!!!
