Episode #61: Harvest Horror Fest – Cabin in the Woods

By Matt on Thursday, November 1, 2018

Well listeners we are sorry to say but the end is here but man is it an amazing end! For the final episode of Harvest Horror Fest 2018 your hosts Mike and Matt discuss the comedy horror flick Cabin in the Woods. This is one of our longer episodes but sit tight it is fun and worth a listen. Topics include Marvel, horror tropes, Joss Whedon, Thor, Signals AZ, and we have more than 4 listeners? How did that happen?

Cabin in the Woods is a near perfect blend of two genres. It is fun, dramatic, and exciting to name a few. The acting is stellar especially the little known actors that star in this film. The story is really where Cabin in the Woods shines though. This is a must watch film for everyone. Mike really enjoyed it and awards the movie a near perfect score with 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt truly loves Cabin in the Woods even though he is not a huge horror movie guy. He drops the elusive perfect score with 5 out of 5 Reels! Seriously if you have not seen Cabin in the Woods do yourself a favor and watch it.

Just a reminder listeners the coming week or two might be a little light on the podcast front. Mike is having a lot of life things happening that I guess are more important than watching movies. Matt will also be busy with regular work and the NAZ Suns 2018-19 season starting but he is going to try his hardest to record a few shows solo or with some special guests. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoyed Harvest Horror Fest! We did so expect it to become an annual event. Have a great weekend and welcome to November!

Episode #59: Harvest Horror Fest – Event Horizon

By Matt on Thursday, October 25, 2018

Harvest Horror Fest is quickly ending but not quite yet. Today Mysterious Mike and Masterful Matt talk about one of their favorite sci-fi/horror films ever Event Horizon! Topics include isolation, haunted houses, The Matrix, Jurassic Park, and of course space.

Event Horizon is an incredible must-see film especially if you are a horror or sci-fi buff. It is claustrophobic and thrilling. The CGI needs some help, but it is a 21-year-old movie. The other visuals and sets are amazing especially the gravity drive. The makeup and gore are very well done and do nothing but elevate this horror film. Matt and Mike are starting to click again maybe too much. They both give Event Horizon 4.5 out of 5 Reels!

Thanks for your continued support and make sure to share our pod if you like it or not! Mike and Matt will return on Tuesday with our review of a probable big time Academy Award contender A Star is Born starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.

Episode #57: Harvest Horror Fest – From Dusk Till Dawn

By Matt on Thursday, October 18, 2018

Hooray, Harvest Horror Fest continues today with a fun classic and goofy horror film From Dusk Till Dawn!! The guys talk about their first time seeing the film when they were kids especially Quentin Tarantino’s character and how terrible and creepy he is. The guys get off topic pretty hard but it’s after the spoilers warning so it’s ok. Matt tried really hard to be funny about Ryan Reynolds and it fails miserably on Mike but it does lead to a discussion about beautiful women actresses. Other off topics included Southpark, Salma Hayek, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, fighter pilots, and being tall.

From Dusk Till Dawn is a fun brutal vampire movie. The acting is good, the special effects and makeup is great, and the story is very ridiculous but fun especially the vampire band and Salma Hayek’s snake. Matt gives the film a respectable 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Mike is a bit more judgmental giving From Dusk Till Dawn a solid 3 out of 5 Reels. It is not a must see film but it is very entertaining so basically if you are into horror films, Quentin Tarantino, or Robert Rodriguez you might as well watch it.

Make sure to join us next Thursday with the continuation of our month long Harvest Horror Fest when the boys chat about the sci-fi horror flick Event Horizon. We have not picked what new movie we are going to review on Tuesday but I promise we are going to do something. Don’t forget to share our podcast with your friends maybe not this episode but one of the good ones yeah that’s but which sode is a good one? Talk at ya on Tuesday!!!

Episode #55: Harvest Horror Fest – Trick ‘r Treat

By Matt on Thursday, October 11, 2018

Harvest Horror Fest continues!! Today Mysterious Mike presents his first solo cast, Trick ‘r Treat. It is sweet, quick, and to the point. This pod compensates for the multiple 30-minute plus podcasts lately. Mike talks about his upcoming trip to Universal Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights, Netflix still has DVD’s, and Bad Santa. He mostly stays on topic though.

Trick ‘r Treat is a fun horror movie that Mike should have seen by now but hasn’t. It is 5 stories in one that all happen on Halloween night. It has a stellar cast with good acting and will be a cult classic for years to come. Mysterious Mike gives the film an average rating of 3 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks everyone for listening. There are a ton of movies coming out this month and Matt and Mike are still arguing on which ones to do reviews on. If they had time they would just do a podcast a day, too bad they are both working stiffs and don’t have the time. This Tuesday look forward to a review of either A Star is Born, First Man, or Bad Times at the El Royale. Chat at you next Tuesday and remember Harvest Horror Fest continues next Thursday with another cult classic horror film.

Trick ‘r Treat

Director: Michael Dougherty Trick r Treat Movie Poster

Stars: Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Dylan Baker, and Brett Kelly

Release Date: December 9, 2007

Storyline from IMDB

Five interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband; and a mean old man meets his match with a demonic, supernatural trick-or-treater.

Episode #53: Harvest Horror Fest – Tusk

By Matt on Thursday, October 4, 2018

Welcome everyone to the kick off of what hopefully will become an annual event, the Reel Film Nerds’ Harvest Horror Fest! Our first pick is probably our worst pick, but Matt tricked Mike anyways because he is a dick like that. Today the boys discuss the disaster of a horror film Tusk by famed writer and director Kevin Smith. The guys get off topic as always but some of the topics do relate more than others. They discuss the Sixth Sense, going to the bathroom during a movie, production company A24, Chasing Amy, and why can’t we have DVR movie theaters?

Tusk is just flat out a horrible movie and you really should not watch it unless you are insanely bored, insanely!!!! It is not even hilariously bad, it’s just bad period. Mike wanted to give it 0 Reels, but he is not that cruel, he gives Tusk 0.5 Reels out of 5. Matt has a love hate relationship with Kevin Smith and this is one of the hate instances. He gives Tusk 1 out of 5 Reels.

Next Tuesday we will be reviewing the least anticipated Marvel, not MCU, movie to date Venom. Matt is trying to get a special guest to be on who is a huge fan of Venom and what his thoughts are of his favorite comic character’s latest flick. Don’t forget Harvest Horror Fest continues next Thursday with From Dusk till Dawn. Do us a favor and write in to let us know if you like or hate Harvest Horror Fest. I know Mike is loving it. Chat at you on Tuesday!
