Happy Friday eve everyone! Today your hosts Mike Talent and Matt crack open a brew and discuss a new Tributary Cast on The Lost City of Z an Amazon Original film. Special topics include the 2012 film Piranha 3DD, ayahuasca, and sleepy Mike needs to go to bed.
The Lost City of Z is a great idea for a film, but a poor execution. The story really drags on for a full 2 ½ hours. The scriptwriters really crammed way too much into the film. The interesting segments of exploring the Amazon were way too short and the political scenes were way too long. The casting and acting was excellent. There are some big name actors in this film and they all deliver great performances. It’s really odd the film drags and feels rushed at the same time. How is that possible? Mysterious Mike was very disappointed with this film. He wanted to see it originally in the theaters in 2017 but did not make it. He gives the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought it was just average. He felt there was a real missed opportunity to tell an incredible story that fell flat thanks to the script. He also awards The Lost City of Z 3 out of 5 Reels.
Tuesday is going to be awesome! Mysterious Mike and MCU Matt will discuss the first MCU movie of the year, Captain Marvel. Is it great, is it bad, and is the cat really that awesome?
