Episode #87: Cold Pursuit

Welcome everyone!  It is our anniversary week!  Now we promised we would only record one episode this week since it’s a giant show, but we lied.  Mr. Mike Talent and Matt really wanted to watch Taken in a Blizzard and discuss it.  Maybe consider it a bonus episode?  The guys rate and review Liam Neeson’s latest revenge film, Cold Pursuit.  Extra topics today include talking during movies, zapatos, and the infamous Alamo Drafthouse.

Cold Pursuit is not what the guys thought it was going to be.  It feels a lot more like Fargo then it does Taken.  It is a revenge film but quickly turns from one story into three stories that intersect in fascinating ways.  The cinematography was just beautiful and as Matt pointed out the homes they use as settings are incredible too.  They are almost characters in their own right.  Is this a must see film in the theaters, nope.  If there are no new movies you want to watch at home and can’t wait for the weekend to see a new film, then sure go ahead and watch it.  Mike Talent felt Cold Pursuit was ok and not anything special.  He did enjoy it, but it fell a bit short for him especially in the story department.  He awards Cold Pursuit 2.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt felt very similar about this film.  It was just average.  There were parts of it he really enjoyed but overall it was just an average movie.  He gives the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

The time has come!  This Thursday is our one-year anniversary and our first ever awards show, the Poindexter Awards!  Did you get your vote in for the Listeners’ Podcast and Movie of the Year?  If not it’s too late.  HA!  It is going to be a doozy of a show, AKA it is going to be very long.  The guys had a blast recording it and we hope you enjoy listening to it. Have a great week and we will really chat at you on Thursday!
