Wow do we have a special podcast for you today, well it’s special to Mysterious Mike and Amazing Matt.  Today your two hosts discuss a film that basically changed their lives, Hackers.  This film helped fuel them to the careers they now have and their deep passions for technology.  The gents do talk about the movie but not as much as they should have.  The talk mainly focuses on how Hackers helped influence Mike’s decision to go into computer programming, public pay phones, and online gaming over dial up, yes you read that right youngsters dial up online gaming!

Hackers is an amazing movie, Matt and Mike are biased as hell though.  When you watch it today with all our technological advances it comes off extremely cheesy.  It’s a 90’s movie through and through from the rollerblades, to the EDM soundtrack, to the chain wallets.  If you grew up in the 90’s like your hosts did this movie will take you back there. Just a friendly reminder that your hosts are super biased in favor of this film, they love it to death!  Mike and Matt give Hackers 4 out of 5 Reels.  Their freshman high school selves would have given it 5 out of 5 Reels in the 90’s but it’s not the 90’s anymore.

Thanks for tuning in for an amazing Legacy Cast of Hackers.  Your hosts really had a blast recording it even if you don’t like listening to it.  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.  We return next week with two more movie reviews and one will be a Christmas movie.  Tis the season, right?  Have an amazing weekend and we will yack at ya on Tuesday.

Hi everyone and welcome back!  We have been on a little bit of a break the past week, but we return to you today with a vengeance!  Ok well Matt returns with a vengeance, Mysterious Mike is M.I.A. after his recent nuptials.  I am guessing he is doing this thing called a honeymoon?  Single guys like Matt will never know what that is.  Back on topic, today Matt talks about Last Flag Flying an Amazon Studio’s original starring Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Carell.

Last Flag Flying is a very serious film that discusses a difficult but important topic.  It does get a little political here and there but how can you not when discussing the death of a young soldier?  The acting is incredible, the sets are great, but the story is what really sets this one apart.  It is nice having some well-timed and appropriate humor that helps with the very serious subject matter.  Matt really enjoyed Last Flag Flying and gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thank you liking, subscribing, and supporting our little pod.  Matt will do his best to wrangle up Mysterious Mike for Thursday where we will be discussing a biopic that is taking the country by storm, Bohemian Rhapsody.  Chat at you then!

Good day everyone and welcome to yet another Reel Film Nerds podcast.  Yep we aren’t going away that easy!  Today Matt and Mike continue to gear up for their first Harvest Horror Fest with a Legacy cast of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.  The guys try to tell some jokes, but they fail miserably.  Staying on topic alludes your hosts too.  Matt is probably the biggest problem when it comes to staying on topic, sorry everyone.  Discussion includes Avengers 4, side boob, PBR, the new Captain Marvel trailer, Fargo, woodchippers, and hillbilly hog!  What a fun and odd conversation.

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a fun interesting take on the horror genre or comedy genre?  Let’s just go with both.  The writing is excellent, the acting is great, and the makeup/special effects are spot on.  Mike gives the film a little above average score of 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Matt who is much better at rating movies (according to him) and not nearly as harsh as Mike gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.

Episode 50 is next!  Can you believe it, we can’t.  We thought for sure Mike would get mad at Matt and quit after only a few episodes, but he didn’t!  Thanks, Mysterious Mike!  What do the guys have in store, we have no idea, probably just more random off topic talk and maybe a movie review?  Download next Tuesday’s episode to find out.  Thanks again for listening and we will see you next week.

Hey kids and welcome to your last Reel Film Nerds pod of the week!  We have an incredible Legacy cast for you today!  It is a bit long but it is totally worth the extra 20 minutes or so.  The one the only, well should be the only, Ghostbusters!  Matt cannot say enough about this movie.  It is one of his favorites, definitely top 5.  Mysterious Mike also really likes this film from start to finish!  The guys talk a ton about Ghostbusters trivia, John Candy, John Belushi, the not so great 2016 remake, and a little off topic The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon TV shows.  Lastly the guys discuss what’s coming up in October the first ever Reel Film Nerds Harvest Horror Fest!

Mike and Matt both love Ghostbusters more than words can express, well at least Matt does.  He gives us his first perfect score!  It only took 47 episodes, but he has done it Matt gives Ghostbusters a perfect 5 out of 5 Reels!  Mike loves this film but for some reason is not as awesome as Matt and only gives it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.  Seriously Mike?  WTF?  Wait is that still a thing?  I don’t care I am using it!

Next Tuesday the guys talk about a controversial film well it is controversial now, The Predator.  They will try to explain all the controversy surrounding it and while Edward James Olmos was cut completely out!  For Tuesday the guys continue their drive towards Harvest Horror Fest with a Legacy cast of the comedy horror film Tucker and Dale vs Evil.  Don’t forget episode 50 is nipping at our heals and we still are looking for some suggestions so email us!  Should we do a neat review, give something away, or just not have a 50th episode and skip straight to 51?  Thanks again for listening to us and chat at you Tuesday!
