He is still on the road for work but took time out of his busy schedule to record an episode, thanks Mike! This is a really good fun movie with an equally awesome episode to go with it. Don’t miss this one folks!

Mike loved A Quiet Place and gave it his highest rating yet, 4 out of 5 Reels.  Matt loved it as well but still found multiple flaws in his eyes.  He gave it a solid 3.5 out of 5 Reels.  Remember our podcasts are SPOILER RIDDEN!!

Episode #9: Legacy – Pee-wee’s Big Adventure

Episode 9 is a bit of a format change for us.  Mike is away working and attending a wedding, so Matt brought in our first guest and host of sister podcast The Mile High Show, Matt Santos.  Coincidentally it is also the first in our Legacy series of podcasts.  What’s Legacy you say well I will tell you.  Legacy is any film not currently in the box office at the time of the that episodes recording.  Typically, it will be at least a few years old but not always.  What was our pick for the first Legacy cast a nice gem of a classic Pee-wee’s Big Adventure!

Did we really talk almost an hour about Pee-Wee, no.  When the two Matt’s get together things typically get off topic very quickly.  Topics included baseball, photography, drive-in’s, Matt S’s Mom, and Citizen Kane.  This was a fun one to record but might not be a fun one to listen to.  If you skip it, we would understand.

Matt S. gave Pee-wee’s Big Adventure a 3.5 out of 5 Reels and your lone host and Matt gave it a 4 out of 5 Reels because he is super nostalgic.  Remember our podcasts are SPOILER RIDDEN!!
