Welcome faithful listeners, we are on the downslide of hump day and you know what that means, A NEW REEL FILM NERDS PODCAST!!!  Today the guys review a new Netflix original streaming film, Polar.  It is the second film of the week based on a graphic novel/comic book.  Needless to say, Matt is crazy excited! Extra topics this pod include is Hollywood out of ideas, the Coen brothers, and are there too many superhero movies?

Polar is a fun over the top action revenge movie.  It drags a bit in the beginning so much so that Mike almost turned it off.  It quickly picks up in the middle and quickly ramps up all the way to the end of the film.  Polar is very reminiscent of The Raid, John Wick, and Smokin’ Aces all amazing and fun action movies.  This is not a drop everything must-see movie but if you have time to spare you will not be disappointed.  Mysterious Mike Talent and Just Matt agree, they both give Polar 3 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks for tuning in and joining us on our wild ride through cinema.  What do you think about our Tributary movie reviews?  Do you want more, less?  Write us an email and let us know.  Next week the boys will finally get to watch Fighting with My Family.  A dramatic comedy biopic based on the true story of WWE super star Saraya “Paige” Bevis and her rise to fame.  Have a great weekend and keep warm.  We will chat at you on Tuesday.

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.

Hi everybody!  Welcome back to the Reel Film Nerds Podcast!  Today Matt’s backup mic is working great!  Overtime even because it literally picks up every sound in the room.  Today Mysterious Mike and Matt bring you a new Tributary cast with their review of Bird Box.  Off topic topics include a new segment what are you drinking, The Walking Dead, lack of time in our lives, and lastly the first RFN awards show!

Bird Box is basically a mash up between A Quiet Place (RFN Episode #10) and The Happening.  It is an incredible thrill ride from start to finish.  The acting is incredible especially by Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich but honestly when do they not shine?  The story is very good, and the sets look great.  I think this is starting to become an issue, but both of your hosts agree Bird Box has a great showing for Mike and an average showing for Matt with 3.5 out of 5 Reels!  This is a must see sci-fi thriller even if you do not have Netflix.  Just steal a friend or co-workers login and watch it.

Next week the guys plan on watching the new Keanu Reeves film Replicas and either Bomb City or You Were Never Really Here.  Both are currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.  Thanks for your continued support of our podcast.  We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy recording it!  Chat with you next Tuesday!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We hope you are out catching a movie today.  Nothing better to do on a holiday then spend it with friends and family at the movie theater.  Today your hosts discuss a film that is not in a movie theater and you can watch it right now on Netflix the kinda sorta sequel to Braveheart titled Outlaw King.  Matt apologizes way ahead of time, but he really gets off topic bad talking about tablets and watching movies on airplanes.  Mysterious Mike joined in forgetting to stop him being off topic.  If you are interested in tech and tablets listen, if not feel free to fast forward.

Outlaw King is an amazing film with great cinematography and incredible makeup!  The stunts and gore are so good that some scenes will haunt you well after you finish watching the film.  The acting is superb especially from Chris Pine and new comer Rebecca Robin.  The sets wow they are incredible!  Mike really loved this film he thinks everyone should go watch it except the little ones.  It is a bit much for them.  He gives it 4 out of 5 Reels.  Matt enjoyed Outlaw King as well just not as much as Mike.  He agrees that it is well worth the 2-hour runtime.  Matt gives the Netflix original 3.5 out of 5 Reels.

Thanks for tuning in for another amazing episode of the Reel Film Nerds podcast!  Do us a favor and tell your friends, spread the love!  Don’t forget to subscribe and listen to our sister podcasts Rogues Radio, Code 3 Podcast, The Blue Milk Podcast, and The Mile High Show.  We will be back next Tuesday and Thursday to discuss two new films.  There are a ton of releases this week and your hosts are still arguing about what to review.  Talk at you on Tuesday!

Welcome back to the unofficial Chipotle podcast!  Today your two hosts bust out with their second Tributary cast the Netflix original movie Mute.  This futuristic dystopian Sci-Fi thriller is very reminiscent of Blade Runner in scope and feel; it is not Blade Runner though.  The guys try something new trying to talk about the film without spoiling it for the first half of the pod and let loose and spoil everything for the second half.  We warn you many times so if you don’t want to hear it you can stop accordingly.  Do you like the new format?  Mike again brings up MoviePass and its impending demise.  The guys request some hate mail and hate comments but doubt they will get any.  Go ahead send us some especially to Mysterious Mike and Mike@ReelFilmNerds.com.  Lastly RFN can now be found on Spotify!!  There is no excuse not to subscribe!

Mute was a confusing badly written but beautifully filmed movie that you can probably skip unless you really need something to watch or you love Paul Rudd.  Mike gives it 2 out of 5 Reels.  Matt as always is more generous why, who knows maybe he is drunk again, he gives Mute 3 out of 5 Reels.  Thanks for listening and chat at you on Tuesday!

Thank you for tuning in and listening to our little pod.  What do you think about the guys starting a Patreon or getting some advertising to help support their movie going habits?  Email us and let us know if it is a bad idea or a good one. Nerds@ReelFilmNerds.com
