Episodes Legacy

Episode #84: Legacy – Bomb City

By Matt on Thursday, January 31, 2019

Are you ready for your last pod of the week? No? Well here it is anyways. Today your hosts Mysterious Mike Talent and drunken Matt review a little known film based on a true story, Bomb City. The movie takes place in a small Texas town between two very different clashing social classes. Bonus topics today include #OE4Life, SLC Punk, and your hosts’ high school days.

Bomb City is a very good film. The story is extremely compelling and the way it was told was unique and misdirecting. The acting was not the best by some of the supporting cast but the stars shined brightly. The scenes were setup well and the sets looked great mostly because they were filmed on location in Texas. The dance through the story’s timeline was unique and did not always work. The story though is what really makes this movie great. Mysterious Mike Talent and dumb drunken Matt both agree that Bomb City deserves 4 out of 5 Reels.

The guys are still working out what to watch for next week. Once again the movie theaters do not have much coming out. It is awards season so it is expected. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite film of the year and podcast of the year for our first Poindexter Awards. Have a nice weekend and we will chat at you on Tuesday!

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.

Episodes Tributary

Episode #83: Tributary – Roma

By Matt on Tuesday, January 29, 2019

It’s another Tuesday and that means you lucky listeners get another incredible Reel Film Nerds Podcast! Today your host’s Mike Talent and boring Matt discuss a Netflix Original Film that is nominated for multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture, Roma. Other topics include Mexico, voting for the Poindexter Awards, and Netflix movies in theaters.

Roma is a good stylistic film that has a sad and incomplete story. It seems to not really having a beginning or an end. It is not a bad story it is just not compelling. The film’s cinematography is amazing but writer and director Alfonso Cuarón uses a wide-angle pan shot over and over and over. It is incredible the first two or three times you see it, but he just does not stop using it. Mike enjoyed Roma but feels it is just an average film. He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt enjoyed the film more than Mike, but he really did not like the story. He gives the film 4 out of 5 Reels.

On Thursday the guys talk about a film most if not all of you have never heard of, Bomb City. It is based on a true story that takes place in a small Texas town between two very different clashing social classes. It is available to stream on Amazon Prime right now. Have a great week and we will chat at you Thursday, same time, same place.

Episodes Legacy

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!

You Were Never Really Here

Episode #81: Glass

By Matt on Tuesday, January 22, 2019

Well what do we have here another Tuesday? You know what that means it’s time for a new Reel Film Nerds podcast for your listening pleasure! Today your hosts talk about the latest M. Night Shyamalan flick, Glass. Matt really starts the pod out off topic, sorry, we will work on reining him in on Thursday. The copious off topics include the new Fyre Festival documentaries, Punisher Season 2, and Matt guest stars on The Mile High Show Episode #199 and The Blue Milk Podcast’s upcoming Episode 66 about the Sith!

Mike and Mat are extremely confused about Glass. They do not understand why the critics hate this film. It is not the best M. Night Shyamalan movie but it is definitely not his worst. James McAvoy’s acting is out of this world! Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis do a great job as well especially during some nonverbal scenes. The soundtrack is good and the cinematography is great except for a couple of times where it looked like they used a GoPro. Your hosts both really enjoyed the movie but it is not a must see in the theaters unless you want to go to the movies because there really is not much out right now. Mike gives Glass a respectable 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt enjoyed the film just a hair more than Mike; he gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

This Thursday the guys will finally get around to reviewing You Were Never Really Here. If you want to watch it before the review on Thursday it is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Chat at you then.
