Episode #22: Incredibles 2

Hi everyone!  Welcome to episode 22!  Yep that’s right 22!!!  WOW!  Matt and Mike discuss Pixar and Disney’s latest animated flick Incredibles 2.  They also dive deep into the villain’s name and the connotations the writer is implying with it.  Matt actually loves a baby in this movie!  I know right the man who swears he will never breed or date again and his favorite character of the film is Jack Jack, it’s a crazy world people!  Mike talks about the lack of smart adult hidden jokes versus other Pixar films in Incredibles 2.   He then expresses his love for Finding Nemo for obvious reasons.  Spoiler alert Mike is always trying to be a fish on the weekends when he is not working.

Mike and Matt both found this movie to be mediocre.  The story is ok but not great, the art style is very good as always, and #JackJack4Life as Matt proclaims.  Mike gives Incredibles 2 a 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt echoes his rating with a 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Thanks for listening and we will chat at you on Thursday!

Episode #20: Hotel Artemis

Hi everybody!  Welcome to another installment of the Reel Film Nerds!  If you stop reading here we understand this week’s movie is a giant let down.  Our review this week is Hotel Artemis and boy is it a load of crap.  The trailer, the cast, and the action looked amazing but as you can tell it is not a good movie.  Go ahead and listen to the podcast anyways Matt and Mike explain why it is so bad.  We also talk about our next reviews coming up and a whole bunch of other fun stuff.  It is too bad the idea of this movie was really cool too.

Mike and Matt both were disappointed in this film.  The acting was great, the sets were well done, and the premise was great, but they story just flat out sucked.  Mike gave Hotel Artemis a 2 out of 5 Reels and Matt gave it a similar rating with 2.5 Reels.  Thank you again for listening and we will chat at you real soon!
