Episode #111: Tributary – Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile

By Matt on Wednesday, May 15, 2019

Happy, in words of friend of the show Jamie De Jesus, “HUMP DAY!” Today the guys barely got an episode recorded thanks to their busy lives but they did, go them! It’s a nice little Tributary Cast review of the Netflix Original Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile starring Zac Efron. Extracurricular topics include film festivals, Mike being out of town, and Jon Wick.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is not the film the guys were expecting. It is not a bad film but it is not an incredible film either. It is really hard to watch a film about a serial killer even without the filmmakers showing the murders. Zac Efron was cast perfectly and delivers a fantastic performance. Matt thinks the first hour of the film jumps around way too much and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. The second half is where this movie really shines but still does not live up to his expectations. Mike on the other hand really enjoyed the movie and thinks you should watch it. They both agree if you are going to watch this film you should watch the companion documentary Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes also streaming on Netflix. They really do add to each other and tell you most of the true story of Ted Bundy and his victims. Matt thought this film was just average at best and awards it 3 out of 5 Reels. Mike enjoyed it a bit more than Matt but not a whole lot more. He awards the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Our weekly podcasting slump continues sorry everyone. The guys are just too busy and have way too different schedules so they are sticking to one pod a week, for now. Next week the summer movie deluge continues with John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. Mike might be utterly exhausted but they are going to talk about it anyways. How can you not? If you are itching to hear someone else talk about equally amazing topics don’t forget to listen to our sister podcasts The Bluemilk Podcast and The Mile High Show. Chat at you next week!

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 #98: Tributary – Triple Frontier

By Matt on Thursday, March 21, 2019

Happy Thursday everyone!! Welcome to a brand spanking new Tributary podcast of the recently released Netflix Original Triple Frontier starring Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, and a Charlie Hunnam. What an amazing cast for a film let alone a Netflix Original! Topics today included 2 movies in 1, sequels, and delicious greed.

Triple Frontier is a decent movie, well the first half. The acting is great and the story was interesting but the second half of the movie falls apart quickly especially the story. Pedro Pascal knocked it out of the park. He is really getting some great roles recently and stepping up his game. The set pieces were beautiful and the cinematography was amazing, that makes two movies in a row with amazing cinematography. Matt thought the first half of the movie was great and the second half was terrible. Mike was not a huge fan of Ben Affleck’s character or his acting but still thought this was a pretty good movie. It was entertaining and well produced. Both of your host’s agree it is worth a watch if you have Netflix. It is not a must see but you will definitely be entertained. They both award Triple Frontier 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week Mike Talent is out of country, literally! He is off taking another vacation or so he told Matt. Maybe he is really one of those James Bond types but keeping it a secret! Matt is working on a couple of fun shows for next week if the stars align. If they don’t I guess you will probably get a solo cast or two. Thanks for listening and tune in for a couple of special guests and a special pod for episode #100, if things work out. Wow, that is a lot of talking! At least 50 hours of movie reviews if not more! I am tired just thinking about editing all of those hours. Have a killer weekend and chat with you Tuesday.

Episode #94: Tributary – The Lost City of Z

By Matt on Thursday, March 7, 2019

Happy Friday eve everyone! Today your hosts Mike Talent and Matt crack open a brew and discuss a new Tributary Cast on The Lost City of Z an Amazon Original film. Special topics include the 2012 film Piranha 3DD, ayahuasca, and sleepy Mike needs to go to bed.

The Lost City of Z is a great idea for a film, but a poor execution. The story really drags on for a full 2 ½ hours. The scriptwriters really crammed way too much into the film. The interesting segments of exploring the Amazon were way too short and the political scenes were way too long. The casting and acting was excellent. There are some big name actors in this film and they all deliver great performances. It’s really odd the film drags and feels rushed at the same time. How is that possible? Mysterious Mike was very disappointed with this film. He wanted to see it originally in the theaters in 2017 but did not make it. He gives the film 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought it was just average. He felt there was a real missed opportunity to tell an incredible story that fell flat thanks to the script. He also awards The Lost City of Z 3 out of 5 Reels.

Tuesday is going to be awesome! Mysterious Mike and MCU Matt will discuss the first MCU movie of the year, Captain Marvel. Is it great, is it bad, and is the cat really that awesome? The guys will find out and report back to you so you don’t waste your time or money. Thanks again for stopping by and listening to two nerd’s geek out about films. Chat at you on Tuesday!

The Lost City of Z

Episode #92: Tributary – Velvet Buzzsaw

By Matt on Thursday, February 28, 2019

Happy National Chili Day! Do yourself a favor head down to Phoenix, catch a spring training baseball game, and grab a chili dog. I know Mike and Matt would if they didn’t have jobs. Back to the topic at hand, today the boys swim upstream and catch the Netflix original Velvet Buzzsaw. Bonus annoying topics include snow beer, the art world and who really cares about it, and lastly home viewing experience versus going to a movie theater. That last topic the guys really went off on bad. It is an interesting discussion that warrants a listen but if you want to skip it the discussion takes place later towards the end of the pod.

Velvet Buzzsaw is a fun mystery thriller that takes place in a world not many people pay attention to. The cast is incredible and headlined by Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo. The blood and gore is a bit over the top at times but hey it is a horror movie, so it’s expected. The plot and characters of the film are engaging and fantastic. Velvet Buzzsaw really reminds Mysterious Mike of the massive horror movie hit the Ring from 2002. The hosts both really enjoyed the film, but Matt enjoyed it more. He gives the movie 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike Talent thought it was just average for a horror movie, his favorite genre, he awards it 3 out of 5 Reels.

Next week the guys review a truly horrible movie Green Lantern. It is a request from BJ one of the hosts’ over at the Blue Milk Podcast. Let’s see how brutal Mike and Matt are with this review. Our second review for next week is an Amazon Prime original The Lost City of Z. A true-life drama, centering on British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett, who disappeared whilst searching for a mysterious city in the Amazon in the 1920s. Enjoy your weekend and we will chat with you on Tuesday.
