We did it! I don’t know how but we did it. The Reel Film Nerds Podcast hit 300 episodes! Of course we are nerds so we are reviewing a classic 300 episode film, 300 directed by Zack Snyder and starring Gerard Butler and Lena Headey. Bonus topics today include Andor is incredible, DCEU VS MCU, and an incredible giveaway to say thank you to our fans.

What is not to love about 300? It is an incredible stylized film based on a graphic novel that is inspired by actual historical events. Gerard Butler and Lena Headey are just absolutely perfect in this film. The supporting cast does an amazing job too, especially Michael Fassbender. The cinematography is amazing. The lighting, color palette, and its dramatic style really make 300 a feast for the eyes. If you have not seen 300 you must watch it right away. Mike with a perfect rating gives the Greek war movie 5 out of 5 Reels. Matt dropping his rating down a bit because the CGI didn’t age well gives 300 4 out of 5 Reels.   

Next week it’s Matt’s pick and he is kicking off December with a Christmas musical. Spirited starring two of the biggest names in comedy Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Happy hump day friends and neighbors! For this week’s podcast Mike and Matt chat about a modern Sci-Fi classic Edge of Tomorrow starring Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise. Distracting topics include reading books, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is crap, and modern Sci-Fi.

Well here we go again another Legacy film and you know we only pick Legacy films we really like. Edge of Tomorrow is a great modern Sci-Fi film that doesn’t get enough recognition. This is one of the great modern Sci-Fi flicks that’s the complete package. Great story, great acting, and amazing CGI that stands the test of time. It looks as good if not better than most of the CGI today. Tom Cruise knocks it out of the park as a soldier that doesn’t fight but has to learn how quickly. Emily Blunt steals the show as the resident badass killer of alien scum!

If you have not seen Edge of Tomorrow it really is a must watch movie if you are into action and Sci-Fi. Mike and Matt both agree this movie is almost perfect, awarding it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

For next week’s pod we finally head back to the movie theaters to watch See How They Run. A comedy murder mystery period film starring Sam Rockwell and Adrien Brody. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!

Welcome one and all to another Reel Film Nerds podcast! Today Matt and Mike try to review the 1986 classic Big Trouble in Little China. We failed miserably and instead chatted about National Cinema Day, is comedy dead, and Avatar.

Well like we alluded to above Mike and Matt tried to chat about Big Trouble in Little China but they got off topic a bunch. This film inspired some of the off topic discussions so maybe we aren’t completely off? 

Big Trouble in Little China is a zany, fun, and hilarious film. It blends so many genres it probably should have its own. Kurt Russell is at his prime in this film, rocking a mullet, playing a truck driver, and kicking some ass. What’s not to love? James Hong is hilarious and sinister as our main villain. Can you believe that guy has 454 acting credits to his name? WOW! Big Trouble in Little China is not politically correct and we seriously doubt you could make this film today but dang is it a fun ride. Mike Talent awards the movie 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really enjoyed watching it again but only awards it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

For next week’s attempted review new releases are pretty thin again so Mike picked a Legacy film to review. The 2014 time jump thriller Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!
