Well we did it, two pods in one week!  Fair warning up front it’s a long one but a good one. Today Mike Talent and Matt discuss Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film according to him, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.  Extra topics include what is feature length, QT’s top 3 films, LaLa and Heather walk out, and sneaking booze into a movie theater.  

The hosts are really divided on this film.  They both are massive QT fans. He is an incredible story teller not only in his writing but also his shooting of a film.  Mike really loved Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood from start to finish.  He particularly enjoyed the amazing sets and driving scenes with all the nostalgic incredible automobiles.  Matt on the other hand thought it dragged at the beginning and an hour could easily be cut from this film. They both wanted more of certain scenes and story lines and less of others.  Matt also thinks Margo Robbie got robbed.  She did an incredible job as Sharon Tate but the character was not in the film enough.  Mike gives an above average rating of 4 out of 5 Reels.  Matt gracious gives QT’s 9th film 3 out of 5 Reels.        

Next week the guys talk about the over the topic action film Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.  Matt has not seen any of the Fast & Furious franchise films since Tokyo Drift so this might be an interesting review.  If the hosts have the time they will also get around to doing a Tributary review of the Netflix Original Revenger.  Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.

Welcome boys and girls to your first pod of the week!  That’s right we did it (applause), we recorded two episodes this week!  Your first dose of film nerdery is our review of Chasing Molly our second screener ever, thanks Shelley Pack!  Bonus topics today include: we have a new Facebook Fan Group you should definitely join, Mike Talent is not sleepy for once, and lastly we have a new voicemail number for you to call and complain about us to our faces!

Chasing Molly is a fascinating B movie comedy that has tons of potential at times and not so much at others.  There are some really great funny concepts, grapefruiting comes to mind, that could have been explored further and there were scenes that could easily be cut.  The acting was ok throughout most of the film from the stars but a few of the side actors were pretty rough. This is not a must see movie but if you run across it while trying to find something to watch on your Roku or Smart TV it is worth a few laughs to take you away from the pain of reality.  The ending though was rough. It came out of nowhere and didn’t make a ton of sense. It is nice seeing Kurt Angle getting some work too.  Mike Talent and Matt agree Chasing Molly earns 2 out of 5 Reels.         

Thursday, hopefully Thursday, if Matt get his super edit on, The Boys (see what I did there?), discuss Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film according to him, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.  Mike and Matt are both passionate fans of QT but they differ greatly on this film.  Warning it is a long podcast, almost a full hour! Thanks for tuning in and supporting the show.

Welcome podcast listeners to Reel Film Nerds land! Today Mike Talent and Matt discuss a fun summer popcorn flick that definitely will not win any awards, Stuber.  Topics that are not about this movie include 40’s, who actually uses Facetime, and Marvel Studios’ San Diego Comic-Con 2019 announcements.

Stuber really caught both of your hosts off guard.  It is a very funny film with a dash of heart with underlying tones about relationships.  The action was great but it was shot a bit too tight for some of the scenes according to Matt.  The acting was fantastic. The chemistry between Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani was amazing.  The writing was really good and most of the jokes land well, there are a few that really don’t land too.  The story is not super deep but it was fun, especially for a buddy cop type film. Both of your hosts agree this is well worth a watch but it is not a must see in the theater.  If you are itching to get out of the house you will not be disappointed dropping your hard earned cash on this one. Mike Talent really enjoyed himself and he admits it in the pod!  He awards Stuber 3 out of 5 Reels.  Matt also really liked this film and agreed with Mike it is a fun popcorn flick.  He gives the movie 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

We got our second screener ever!  Whoop! Maybe the RFN podcast is getting a following?  We sure hope so. The film we will be talking about for Episode #125 is Chasing Molly starring Kurt Angle, Shelley Pack, and Jim Cashman.  If you want to watch it before our review it is available to download right now on all the major pay streaming services such as iTunes or the Google Play Store.  Mike and Matt are looking forward to watching another film off the beaten path.
