Welcome boys and girls to a fun and long Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Mr. Mike Talent is not here today. He is out of country fulfilling his obligation for MI6.  Luckily Matt is good at blackmailing people and was able to find a guest host for today, Mr. Mile High Show himself Matt Santos!  The film they attempt to review today is Hondros a documentary on war photographer Chris Hondros. Topics include obviously lots and lots and lots of talk about photojournalism, downing Nyquil, and the Oakland A’s.

Both the Matt’s agree Hondros is an incredible doc on an amazing photographer that you can go watch right now on Netflix.  Mr. Mile High Show is not a big fan of movies especially documentaries on photographers but he loved this one. He especially enjoyed the interviews of Chris’s mother about her son growing up with a camera in his hands.  RFN Matt really enjoyed the film as well. He especially liked how the documentary was not just about Chris’ life but 3 of his most impactful images and the stories behind them. Matt Santos gives Hondros an amazing rating of 4 out of 5 Reels.  RFN Matt goes a little bit above and beyond with 4.5 out of 5 Reels. He really loved this movie not just because it is about photography but it is a really great documentary in it’s own right.

Mike Talent will continue to be out of the country for our next pod this Thursday so Matt again is calling in a favor, a huge favor for our very special 100th Episode!  Who you may ask is joining him well you will have to tune in on Thursday to find out. Here is a hint they also have a podcast. Chat with you on Thursday and hopefully Mike will find his way home next week so we can review the new Jordan Peele horror flick everyone is raving about, Us.

Hondros

Director: Greg Campbell

Writers: Greg Campbell and Jenny Golden

Stars: Pancho Bernasconi, Greg Campbell, Chris Hondros, and Justin Merriman

Release Date: April 21, 2017

Storyline from IMDB

Hondros follows the life and career of famous war photographer Chris Hondros by exploring the poignant and often surprising stories behind this award-winning photojournalist’s best-known photos. Driven by a commitment to bear witness to the wars of our time after the events of 9/11, Chris was among the first in a new generation of war photographers since Vietnam. Hondros explores the complexities inherent in covering more than a decade of conflict, while trying to maintain a normal life. It also examines the unknowable calculus involved in making split-second life and death decisions — before, during and after his photos were made. Chris was killed in Libya in 2011, but he left a lasting impact on his profession that is still felt today.

Happy post hump day aka Friday eve?  Anyways today is Thursday which means new podcast day!  Our review is about a film you probably never heard of but stars someone you have The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot starring Sam Elliott.  Outside topics include MTV Unplugged, Letterboxd, and Captain Marvel.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot is not what you would expect.  It really caught your hosts off guard.  The title comes off as a really fun B movie but it’s not.  This movie is very serious and very sad.  It is not a bad movie but it is not incredible either.  The acting is great especially by Sam Elliott.  The sets and cinematography are breath taking especially the outside shots in Canada and Germany.  The amazing title that throws you for a loop definitely hurt the ratings from your hosts.  Matt enjoyed the movie but did not think it was great.  He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels.  Mike Talent also liked The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot but was stunned by the tone and feel of the movie.  He awards it 2 out of 5 Reels.

Next week we will be reviewing a western that came out the same week as Captain Marvel that is being overshadowed by it big time, The Kid based on the infamous Billy the Kid.  Our second film is a brand new Netflix Original that dropped yesterday, Triple Frontier.  It is an action film that takes place south of the border and has an amazing star studded cast to boot!  Chat with you next week everyone.

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday is NEW PODCAST DAY!  Today Matt and Mike fill a Legacy Cast request from an avid listener and friend of the show BJ one of the hosts’ of our sister pods The Blue Milk Podcast, where they talk about anything and everything Star Wars related and then some.  BJ enjoys torturing Matt and times and I am sure this suggestion was one of those times, he requested 2011’s Green Lantern.  Topics more interesting than this film include the upcoming Prescott based film Wish Man, listener love, and the true potential of the DC Extended Universe.

This movie is just rough.  Your hosts do not recommend you spend any time watching it unless you really want to see how far superhero films have come in the past 8 years.  There are moments that are not as horrible as others but for the most part this movie is a hard pass.  Mike Talent enjoyed it more on his second viewing and graciously gives Green Lantern 2 out of 5 Reels.  Matt on the other hand didn’t.  He gives the movie 1 out of 5 Reels.

This Thursday the guys chat about an Amazon Original film The Lost City of Z.  Captain Marvel comes out this Friday too, don’t forget!  Your hosts will hopefully make it to the theaters this weekend and will give you their review of 2019’s first MCU film.  Thanks for listening and don’t forget to shoot us an email riddled with hate or request a film to review or both!  Please tell your friends and family about our fun little pod especially if you hate it.  We will be back on Thursday to chat at you with another movie review while drinking a beer or two or three.

Are you as excited as we are?  It’s only a week until our 1 year anniversary and the first ever Poindexter Awards!!!  While we both are forced to wait we have a very fun Legacy Cast for you, Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s The Other Guys.  Extracurricular topics include Matt’s coworkers, our love of Michael Keaton, and do docudramas do more than entertain?

Mike and Matt just love this movie so much so all they did was talk about their favorite parts of it for the entire podcast.  The Other Guys is really underrated.  It is a much better film than the critics say it is.  The jokes and writing are fantastic and the comedic timing is just about perfect.  The action is great especially from a mostly comedic director.  The inclusion of The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson although very brief is an amazing and fun surprise.  Matt gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels.  Mike in that rare occasion has a higher rating than Matt.  He gives The Other Guys 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Don’t forget to go vote for your movie of the year on our Facebook page.  The poll will come to a close when we record this coming Sunday.  The guys promised only one podcast next week well they lied.  They both really want to watch and discuss Liam Neeson’s Taken in a blizzard better known as Cold Pursuit.  Look for that one on Tuesday and the highly anticipated Poindexter Awards on Thursday!  Have an incredible weekend and make sure you go out and catch a movie!

Thanks for your continued support of our podcast.  Without you our listeners, this podcast would not exist, seriously.  Anyways do us a favor and tell your friends and family about our fun little pod especially if you hate it!  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts The Blue Milk Podcast, Code 3 Podcast, and The Mile High Show.

Wayne’s World is a classic incredible film that you must go watch now.  The story is amazing and extremely relatable at least for Mike and Matt.  The performances are great, the sets are extremely detailed, and the soundtrack oh man the soundtrack is just perfect!  Again, if you can’t tell Matt and Mike really love this movie.  It’s smart, zany, and incredibly fun.  They both give it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thursday your hosts continue the fun and levity with the review of The Other Guys.  Another amazing and fun comedy to put it mildly.  After the past few weeks of tough hard-hitting movies and upcoming award shows both the hosts just needed some good laughs.  Don’t forget to vote for your movie and podcast of the year.  If you don’t want to email us, we started a Facebook Poll available at this LINK.  Have a great week and we will chat at you Thursday, same pod time, same pod place.
