Good news everyone looks like we are back on our regular schedule again, hopefully it lasts. The world is literally breaking down all around us but hey we did a podcast!
Today Matt and Mike start a series of streaming and classic movie reviews since you know movie theaters are all closed right now. Our first film up to bat is Mark Wahlberg’s latest Netflix Original Spenser Confidential. Topics better than this movie include the future of movies and theaters, we need money especially since Matt probably won’t have a job too much longer, and Doom Eternal helps pass the time when not watching films.
Spenser Confidential is an ok movie. The script is rough, very rough. It is an action movie with some decent action but it is too little too late in the film. The acting is fine, nothing special but nothing horrible either. The picture overall is very predictable. There are twists and turns and whodunits but you can figure any and all of them out way ahead of time. Is this movie worth your time especially now since everyone has so much time being locked up in their homes? Short answer, no. Go watch a movie that is really good that you have or have not seen. This one is a pass. Mysterious Mike gives Spenser Confidential 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt is a bit easier on the movie but not by much he awards it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Next pod which might be later this week but most likely next week we turn to a tried and true 1980’s classic that will hopefully lift all of our spirits Clue. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video so why not sit down and watch it this week with us? Thanks for tuning in to our little pod and don’t forget to tell your friends to listen too! We will chat at you next week.
