Happy 420 everyone! If Matt and Mike planned ahead they would have reviewed a stoner flick but they didn’t. Instead Matt picked a metal movie the Netflix Original Metal Lords. Not 420 topics include high school bullying, Roomba, and Big Trouble in Little China.

Are you yearning for a metal based coming of age story? Then boy do we have a film for you! Metal Lords’ story is nothing special. It has been told over and over many times. A group of teenagers get together to form a band to compete in their school’s battle of the bands for money and or recognition. Lots of antics ensue and by the end of the film the teens work together to win, right? No spoilers but yep that is pretty much Metal Lords in a nutshell but again it’s METAL!!!!!!!

This film is a lot of fun especially the soundtrack, cameo’s, and bipolar cellist. If you want to reminisce about high school while rocking out to some awesome metal then this film is for you. It’s not at the level of Super Bad but it is still a great film. Mike gives Metal Lords 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand thought it was just average because of the story awarding it 3 out of 5 Reels.

For next week’s podcast Mike takes us back to the theaters to catch a mid budget film that is making huge waves, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Thanks for listening and reading to the end of our show notes. Chat at you next week!

Welcome everyone to our first Legacy cast of the year. Today Matt and Mike chat about the 2008 comedy classic Step Brothers starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Extra curricular topics include Don’t Look Up, is humor dead, and sibling rivalry.

What can we say about Step Brothers that hasn’t already been said. This film is an amazing comedy at peak Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, and Adam Mckay. Yes it can be gross, offensive, and downright mean but it is absolutely hilarious from start to finish especially if you have siblings. You get two forty something year old men who refuse to grow up and move out of their parents home, have their parents fall in love, marry, and move in together. Let hilarity ensue for the next hour and 40 minutes. Mike and Matt agree this is a must watch film even if you have seen it before. Step Brothers earns a perfect 5 out of 5 Reels from Mike and a near perfect rating from Matt with a 4.5. 

Next pod Matt and Mike finally head back to the theaters to check out the action adventure movie based on a video game that is inspired by movies, Uncharted starring Mark Whalberg and Tom Holland. Chat at you next week!

Welcome to February everyone! For our first pod of the month Mike and Matt review a film that is getting a ton of award buzz, The Power of the Dog starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst. Bonus topics include South Park is back baby, happy anniversary next week, and the multiverse.

The Power of the Dog is one of those movies that is good but isn’t good. The story is interesting but not amazing, and it is sad from start to finish. The acting is great but nothing special. The cinematography and directing are two of the best things about this film but you need a lot more than that. Matt and Mike talked at length about their interpretations of The Power of the Dog but they both agree it is not worth a watch unless you are a movie buff. The real question is why are the professional critics losing their minds over this film and how the heck is it nominated for 12, (yes 12!!) Academy Awards? The boys both agree The Power of the Dog barely earns 2.5 out of 5 Reels.

For next week Mike can’t take another drama so he picked one of the best romantic comedies of 2008, Step Brothers starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Thank you for your continued support of our podcast and we will chat at you next week!

Welcome one and all to an incredible movie review podcast! Today Matt and Mike review their first Apple TV+ Tributary film The Tragedy of Macbeth written and directed by Joel Coen. Special topics include Tool, Trek Translator, and Mike can’t talk.

This is definitely not the film Matt thought Mike would ever want to review. The Tragedy of Macbeth is Joel Coen’s first work without his brother Ethan and he knocked it out of the park! William Shakespeare is a legend but man is it hard to understand a lot of his writing in 2022. The acting was absolutely incredible, especially Kathryn Hunter. Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand weren’t too shabby either. The cinematography and sets were equally amazing. It really feels like they are performing the play just for you.

Mike and Matt both agree The Tragedy of Macbeth is going to win a ton of awards and is a must see film. Mike gives the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt even though he dislikes Shakespeare really enjoyed this adaptation awarding it 4 out of 5 Reels.

For next week Matt picked a Netflix Original that is getting a ton of award buzz, Power of the Dog starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst. Thank you for your continued support of our podcast and we will chat at you next week!
