Episode #82: Legacy – You Were Never Really Here

By Matt on Thursday, January 24, 2019

Welcome everyone! Hang in there it is almost Friday then you can get out and catch a movie! Today Mike and Matt review a very dark and thought-provoking film You Were Never Really Here starring Joaquin Phoenix. Off topics include the Academy Awards, our love of Joaquin Phoenix, and equipment failures again but this time it was Mike!

You Were Never Really Here is an incredible film but again it is super dark. Joaquin Phoenix and Ekaterina Samsonov both did amazing jobs acting. The sound design shocked Matt. It was so incredible even on his crappy surround sound system he just couldn’t believe it. The cinematography and directing were amazing as well. This is a must watch film but again here is another warning the subject matter is extremely dark. Matt really likes this film and thinks it should have garnered more viewings and award nominations than it has. He gives it a great score of 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike also really enjoyed You Were Never Really Here. The darkness and subject matter did put him off just a bit, but he still liked the film a lot. He gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

The guys are still trying to figure out what they want to review for next week. The theaters are pretty light right now with new releases. Matt wants to review a couple of films that your hosts missed in the theaters because of their fairly small releases, Bomb City and Eighth Grade. Tune in on Tuesday to see what they settle on. Chat with you then!

Episode #80: Legacy – Clyde Cooper

By Matt on Thursday, January 17, 2019

Good day everyone! Today Matt and Mysterious Mike have a real treat for you. They received their first ever screener!! Exciting right? It is for us! The film the guys are chatting about is titled Clyde Cooper. It is a detective film noir murder mystery B movie that takes place in Silicon Valley. Off topics for this episode include the Micro Machine guy, power hour, and vaping.

Clyde Cooper is an interesting story but a rough execution. The writing is really bad and flat out doesn’t make sense at times. The acting really could have been a lot better. Some of the camera angles and shooting styles that were chosen to tell the story did not work. The opening of the film is very strange and could have been completely left out or explained more. This film just left your hosts wanting more. It feels rushed and really could have been entertaining if it was executed right. Mysterious Mike gives Clyde Cooper 1 out 5 Reels. Matt is a little more generous as always because he did enjoy the story as a whole. The premise intrigued him. He gives the film 1.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week your hosts return with a review of Glass the highly anticipated sequel to Unbreakable and Split. Let’s hope all the critics are wrong and that Glass is a good movie. We will let you know Tuesday. Our second pod of the week on Thursday, the guys will finally get around to reviewing You Were Never Really Here after talking about it for over a week. If you have Amazon Prime it is streaming there right now. Watch it along with us. Thanks for listening and we will chat at you next week.

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!

Episode #74: Legacy – Die Hard

By Matt on Tuesday, December 25, 2018

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! We hope you opened lots of presents this morning and got everything you ever wanted. Your hosts Matt and Mysterious Mike sure as hell didn’t. Back on topic today in honor of Christmas we review one of Mike’s favorite Christmas movies of all time, Die Hard. The guys talk about their first R rated movies, the hot mess that is Skyscraper, and their family Christmas get together’s. Grab a cool glass of eggnog and enjoy our review of Die Hard!

Die Hard is one of the many great 1980’s action films in cinematic history. The action is fantastic, the sets look incredible, and Bruce Willis is the every-man action hero guys want to be and women want to be with. I think this goes without saying but Mysterious Mike loves this movie with all his heart. He awards it his second perfect score in RFN history with 5 out of 5 Reels. Matt really likes Die Hard a lot too but re-watching it definitely does not stand the test of time as well as it should. He gives Die Hard a very good rating of 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks everyone for joining us for this super special Die Hard Christmas episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast. We will not have an episode on Thursday thanks to your hosts busy holiday schedules. They will return with the two films they promised to review this week, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Welcome to Marwen with maybe even more reviews if they have the time to chat this weekend.

Episode #71: Legacy – Fred Claus

By Matt on Thursday, December 13, 2018

Welcome fellow movie lovers to another exciting installment of the Real Film Nerds Podcast. I am not going to beat around the bush on this one. We started to talk about our latest film Fred Claus, but it quickly turned into a discussion about Kevin Spacey and if we should be watching the films he stars in. It is a fascinating discussion about art and film that is worth listening too. Fred Claus just took a back seat for a while, a long while. The guys also discuss how many movies a year does it take to call yourself a reviewer, its not as many as you would guess.

Fred Claus is basically the Christmas movie Matt would make but without the happy ending. This movie can be very dark and funny at the same time. The cast is fantastic and the acting is pretty solid too. Mike does not hate Fred Claus but it is nothing special to him either. He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt likes the film quite a bit especially the story. He gives Fred Claus 4 out of 5 Reels.

Movie-pocalypse starts this Friday! The guys are going to try to see as many movies they can and tell you if they are worth spending your hard-earned money on. It will be very difficult to have individual podcasts for each film so keep your ears out for possible podcast combos. We will return on Tuesday with a fresh new dose of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!

Thanks for tuning in for another episode of two nerds talking about movies. Please do us a favor and tell your friends about the RFN podcast. Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.

Episode #70: Legacy – Unsane

By Matt on Tuesday, December 11, 2018

Hello there and welcome another new RFN podcast. We can’t quit you! Today our hosts review a film from earlier this year that was not in the theaters long, Unsane. Today’s review was requested from one of our faithful listeners, Patrick! Thanks, Pat, for your support and keep listening and requesting. Mysterious Mike and Matt stay on point for once with this movie. Extracurricular topics include iPhones, The Girl in the Spider’s Web book and movie, and the importance of story in a film.

Unsane is a phycological thriller with great acting, an amazing story, and believe it or not the film was shot on a damn iPhone! This one never lets up and constantly has you questioning who is the sane and who is not until the very end of the movie. Matt really enjoyed this film but had a few little complaints here and there but nothing major. He gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Mike too really enjoyed this film but is almost always harsher than Matt when it comes to his ratings. He gives Unsane 3 Reels out of 5. Basically, they both agree this is a must-see film especially if you have Amazon Prime where you can currently stream it.

Thanks for tuning in for another episode of two nerds talking about movies. Please do us a favor and tell your friends about the RFN podcast. Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.

Thursday the guys try to review Fred Clause which quickly turns into a discussion about Christmas movies and the Kevin Spacey controversy. It is a very thought-provoking discussion, but the movie review gets overlooked at times. Take a listen you will enjoy it, we did. Chat with you on Thursday.
