Welcome back kids for an amazing new episode! Today your hosts Mysterious Mike and Matt chat about a probable movie of the year, Green Book starring Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen. The guys really love this movie and cannot emphasize it enough. It really is a must see film. The hosts stay on topic most of the time, Matt talks about what the green book historically is and he has a neat little surprise for Mike and you, our listeners.
Green Book is just an amazing feel good film. If it does not get nominated for a dozen Academy Awards we would be shocked. It is a true story co-written by the son of one of the main characters. This film does take place during a very dark time in the US’ history but it is a story that needs to be told. The main reason history is taught throughout school is to learn from its mistakes and try not to make them again. The acting is incredible, the story is fantastic, and the sets are beautiful. This movie is the complete package and Mike and Matt agree they both give the Green Book 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Maybe they need to cut back on talking to each other if their ratings keep lining up.
