Episode #104: Tributary – The Highwaymen

By Matt on Thursday, April 11, 2019

Before we get going on your second pod of the week here is a fair warning. Matt and Mike really and I mean really get going on this pod. They chatted it up big time! If this annoys you then scroll down to our ratings and just skip this pod. Today the guys talk about a biopic based on the Texas Rangers who hunted down Bonnie and Clyde, the Netflix Original The Highwaymen. Just a few of the off topics today include Okilly Dokilly, high school, tattoos, and the many new streaming services.

The Highwaymen is an incredible film. The story is amazing and is one that is rarely ever told. The writing, direction, and of course that acting are fantastic as well. This film is the complete package with a great cast, beautiful sets, and shot extremely well. Basically if you have Netflix and have not watched this movie yet you are really doing yourself a disservice. Mike really enjoyed The Highwaymen and gives it 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt could not get enough of this movie. He is a giant history buff and film nerd to boot so of course he thought The Highwaymen was incredible. He gives it 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks again for stopping by and downloading our pod. Next week we review Shazam! and The Best of Enemies. Don’t forget to check out our sister podcasts, The BlueMilk Podcast on the YouTube’s and The Mile High Show which can be found just about everywhere pods exist. Have a great weekend and make sure to get out and catch a movie!

Episode #103: Pet Sematary (2019)

By Matt on Tuesday, April 9, 2019

The darkness of Tuesday has descended on the world once more and it brings with it another incredible episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast! Today the gents review yet another horror movie. Mike is just loving all of these horror releases and Matt well let’s just say Avengers: Endgame can’t get here soon enough. Today Mike Talent and not talented Matt discuss the 2019 reboot of Pet Sematary. Off topics include way too much “That’s What She Said,” Goose V Church, and Brightburn.

Pet Sematary is not horrible but it is not an incredible movie either. It drags especially in the first half. There are some really great fun creepy parts but they are too few and far between. The acting was incredible well most of the acting was incredible especially by Jeté Laurence. The sets are beautiful and the cinematography was great. But overall both of your hosts were disappointed. They really had high hopes for this remake and it did not live up to expectations. Mike thought Pet Sematary was just average giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt was not impressed at all. He thought it was a lackluster attempt at a reboot. He enjoyed the acting but felt the film as a whole just dragged. He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thursday we talk about a new Netflix Original, Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. It is a biopic based on the two Texas Rangers who hunted down and killed infamous bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde in 1934. If you have Netflix give it a watch then tune in for our thoughts Thursday. Chat with you then.

Episode #102: Legacy – The Matrix

By Matt on Thursday, April 4, 2019

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!

Episode #101: Us

By Matt on Tuesday, April 2, 2019

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled podcast! Mike Talent has escaped the clutches of Goldfinger and returned to kick off the next 100 episodes of the Reel Film Nerds! We are a bit behind on our movies, but this movie really deserved to be reviewed by Mike Talent because of his obsession with horror films. Today the guys chat mostly about Jordan Peele’s Us. Bonus topics include Iceland, classic horror films, and The Big Lebowski.

Us is an incredible movie especially if you enjoy horror and thriller films. If you are not a fan of either of those genres you should probably skip this one. It will literally give you nightmares. The directing and writing by Jordan Peele were incredible! The acting especially by Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke was amazing as well. The story is even better! It has elements of past horror and sci-fi stories but told in a new unique way. There are tons of shout outs and homages to past horror and sci-fi films hidden throughout as well. Jordan Peele is lighting the horror world on fire with his first two feature length films and we can’t wait to see what he does next! Matt is super excited for the upcoming Twilight Zone that Peele is hosting and is heavily involved in. Problem is that it means subscribing to another streaming service. Isn’t this why everyone has ditched cable, so we didn’t have to pay for multiple services and just watch the shows we want now? Wow, that didn’t last long. The hosts both agree Us is an incredible film and is a must see in the theaters. They both give it 4 out of 5 Reels.

Coming up on Thursday is a special Legacy Cast, The Matrix, in honor of its 20^th anniversary! The Matrix is currently streaming on Amazon Prime right now if you would like to watch or re-watch an amazing mind-bending film before your hosts chat about it. Thanks for stopping by and listening to our pod. What did you think of Us? Do you have any theories you want to share with your hosts? Email us and we will read them on an upcoming podcast. Have a great Tuesday and we will chat at you again this Thursday!

Episode #100: Legacy – Fanboys

By Matt on Thursday, March 28, 2019

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.
