Legacy

Episode #133: Legacy – Demolition Man

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s new podcast day!  Today Mike and Matt finally get around to watching and chatting about a listener film request.  Today’s request which was requested months ago comes from super-fan Don in Chino Valley, Ariz.  He wanted to hear the nerds take on the 1993 action packed futuristic Sci-Fi film Demolition Man.  Special topics today include Borderlands 3, Moviepass is finally dead, and how do you use the 3 seashells.    

The most surprising thing about re-watching Demolition Man after all these years is how accurate it predicted the future we are currently living in.  For instance it predicted voice assistants, video conferencing, and the rise of Taco Bell as the only restaurant in the land!  Demolition Man is not a perfect film but it is a ton of fun, filled with action and a fascinating look into the future.  Wesley Snipes is a force to be reckoned with in this film.  How many actors do you know can successfully play a villain and a hero with the public applauding them for their roles, not many.  Matt and Mike both agree this movie is definitely worth another watch or your first watch. Matt gives Demolition Man 4 out of 5 Reels.  He believes it’s mostly for nostalgia reasons but totally worth it.  Mike Talent also enjoyed the film but as always is more judgmental than Matt.  He gives it a 3.5 out of 5 Reels.          

Next Wednesday we will be reviewing another Sci-Fi film but this one is starring Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones titled Ad Astra.  If you want a teaser of our review tune in Monday to Matt’s movie review segment during Leza Live on Magic 99.1 FM at 8:45 AM.  Hopefully he wakes up in time for the show.  Thanks for spending a half hour of your day with us especially you new listeners and we will chat at you next week.

I am sure you can already guess this if you have listened to a few of our podcasts up to this point.  Basically Matt and Mike love this movie.  The story is incredible and unexpected.  The acting is on another level completely, from the entire cast not just Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.  The cinematography and lighting is something to pay attention to.  If you have not watched Fight Club or have not seen it for a long time do yourself a favor and go watch it in honor of the film’s 20th anniversary this year.  I am sure you do not need to read this next sentence but here it is anyways.  Matt and Mike both give Fight Club a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 Reels!

Next week it’s here, WOO-HOO!  We will definitely have a double sized episode for Avengers: Endgame!  There are tons and tons of reviews out already about it so if you can’t wait go check one of those out and yes we will still be reviewing it even though everyone and their mom already has.  To get this out there now we will be spoiling it like we do with all our reviews.  We will give you plenty of warning ahead of time so if you get spoiled it’s your own damn fault!  Mike and Matt are crazy excited to talk about this one so expect two dudes geeking out big time.  Chat at you next week with one giant pod instead of two.

Episode #107: Legacy – Cloud Atlas

Well it’s another Tuesday and that means another pod.  Matt decided he didn’t want to leave our faithful listeners without a pod for today so he recorded a solocast. He actually didn’t have to work this weekend and decided to watch way too much Netflix including a film he has been trying to see for years, The Wachowskis’ epic Cloud Atlas.  Bonus topics include closed captioning, missing Mike Talent, and listener numbers are slowly growing, whoop!

Cloud Atlas is a gorgeous movie that is difficult to pin down.  It is confusing as hell but was shot and acted incredibly well.  If you took maybe half as many stories and cut the time down on this film by almost an hour it probably would attract more viewers.  Personally Matt could watch an entire movie based on a couple of the stories specifically one of the ones in the future.  Cloud Atlas is enjoyable and worth a watch but maybe watch it in chunks much like your host did.  He awards the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

We hope you enjoyed this quick solo cast by Matt.  If you did or didn’t why not let us know, we mean Matt, ya Matt not us. Thanks for hanging in with us and don’t forget Avengers: Endgame comes out on Thursday!!!  Chat at you Thursday with maybe Mike Talent about Fight Club, toodles.

Episode #102: Legacy – The Matrix

Happy Thursday Reel Film Nerds (You not us)!  Today we review a truly nerdy and classic film in celebration of it’s 20th anniversary, The Matrix!  The guys really geek out on this one and you get an almost bonus episode of a whole hour. It is not as bad of a rant as last week when Mr. Mile High Show was guest hosting for episode #99 but it is pretty close.  Special topics include cell phones, Tesla’s, and how The Matrix paved the way for today’s action and superhero films especially the MCU.

The Matrix is an incredible ground breaking film.  It has aged pretty well but there are a few missteps especially with the CGI.  CGI was still pretty much in its infancy though so you can’t be too tough on the film.  Mike Talent loves this movie almost as much as he loves Jaws and we all know how much he loves that film.  Mike gives the Wachowski’s epic a perfect rating with 5 out of 5 Reels!!! Matt really loves The Matrix but noticed the age of the film a bit more than Mike.  He was especially put off by the floating foam scene towards the end of the film. Matt still really loves it and awards The Matrix a 4.5 out of 5 Reels!

Next week the guys review another new horror movie!  Ok it is a reboot but man does it look good, Stephen King’s Pet Cemetery.  They will also be chatting about a brand new Netflix original starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, The Highwaymen based around the Bonnie and Clyde story.  Don’t forget to write in and let us know how we are doing and send us your theories on Jordan Peele’s Us or any other film we have reviewed. Heck just send us any old question you have and we will read and answer it in a future pod.  Thanks for tuning in for a super nerdy podcast and we will chat at you on Tuesday!

If you have a film you would like to hear Matt and Mike review feel free to email us at nerds@reelfilmnerds.com Thank you for liking, subscribing, rating, reviewing, and telling your friends about our podcast. Now go out and catch a movie!

Episode #100: Legacy – Fanboys

Wow episode 100!  How do we keep hitting these milestones?  Maybe they aren’t milestones because of how often we record.  Today we have some amazing guests to help celebrate 100 episodes of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast, two-thirds of The Bluemilk Podcast Dirk AKA Drinking and Jacob AKA Hyena Boy.  Mike Talent is still MIA. Rumor is he was captured by Oddjob after trying to steal Goldfinger’s golden girl.  Why The Bluemilk guys you say, are you finally reviewing Star Wars? Sorry to disappoint you but nope. We are reviewing an incredible Star Wars related film though Fanboys.  Bonus Bluemilk topics include Area 51, Kevin Smith, and the never ending nerd war between Star Trek and Star Wars fans.

Fanboys is a really incredible film especially if you like Star Wars even a little bit.  If you are a super fan like Jacob, Dirk, and Matt you will enjoy it even more! It is a laugh out loud comedy littered with amazing cameos and actors who clearly are passionate about Star Wars as well.  The cinematography is mediocre, the acting is good, but the script and the story is where this film really shines. Hyena Boy really enjoyed the film awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels. Drinking and Matt who are both infinitely wiser enjoyed Fanboys much more.  They both award it 4 out of 5 Reels. If you have not watched it and you are a nerd do yourself a favor and check it out. It really is a good time.

I hope you enjoyed this past week’s special guests.  If you did or if you didn’t let us know, we yearn for your feedback.  Mike Talent and Matt are hoping to get more special guests on when they can to chat about movies.  Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share The Bluemilk Podcast on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.  We will chat at you on Tuesday with hopefully our review of Us if Mike Talent ever escapes the clutches of Oddjob.
