Check it out everyone I think we are back on track for a bit with two pods in a row. This week Matt and Mike continue their voyage into new Netflix Originals with the suspenseful thriller Windfall starring Jason Segel, Lily Collins, Jesse Plemons, and Omar Leyva. Bonus topics today include Blanton’s, Alfred Hitchcock, and the Oscars.
Are you looking for something a little different? A film that makes you ask questions instead of receiving answers? If your answer is a yes then Windfall is for you. The new Netflix Original is not a bad movie but is not an incredible one either. There are lots of great elements such as the set, the acting, and some storytelling. Windfall is just so dang drawn out and downright boring it might be a pass.
A very wealthy couple goes to their vacation home for the weekend and walks in on a man robbing them when they arrive. Both parties are spooked and chaos quickly ensues. Mike thought Windfall was just OK giving it 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt agreed with Mike that it’s not a must watch film. He gives Windfall 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
For next week’s podcast Matt takes us back to the theaters to review the predicted train wreck Morbius starring Jared Leto. The guys will let you know if it’s worth spending your hard earned money on it or not. Thanks for listening and reading to the end of our show notes. Chat at you next week!
